Maybe it’s the difference in Germany’s behavior and allyship towards Poland since the transgressions. Maybe Russia has not acted in a reconciliatory way towards Poland, maybe perhaps they’ve still behaved as an adversary, while Germany has taken accountability and joined a strategic alliance against the same Russian aggression that unapologetically continues to threaten Poland’s sovereignty

Yeah your grandma is the only important life on earth. Fuck all the Ukrainian grandmothers and their families whose lives don’t matter at all, every tax dollar needs to go to your family first.

See I can “paraphrase” you too. Sorry for your loss.

No one is saying that except you bud.

The media outlets most likely to do that (AP & Reuters) are no longer allowed in the room for these kinds of things.

Is this take supposed to be less pessimistic?

Is your point that Russia should be allowed to steam roll through Ukraine? Europe shouldn’t help their allies and neighbors defend themselves? Standing up to bullies is worse than being a bully?

Genuinely curious if you even have a point to make at all. I hope I’m just interpreting you wrong.

Putin has Musk and Trump by the balls, for sure.

Give him some time. Once his cronies get everything working right he won’t have to sue, he can just deny federal benefits to people who don’t order a cybertuck and send their hearts out to him when they receive it.

Fair point. The next target is DEI, people already get defensive when things are called DEI as if its a new slur

It’s so infuriating because those first 2 things technically are woke in the original sense of the phrase. It was never supposed to have a negative connotation, it just meant having your eyes open to the ways of the world and having a discussion about how to improve them for everyone. How did we let that get twisted into something we want to avoid at all costs?

Proceeds to bring up the US anyway

“women’s role in society is to bear and raise children, upkeep the household, and please her husband. From nursing, teaching, cooking, cleaning, to wifely duties.”

See how that sounds?

I heard Elon had a super smart idea to beat inflation by selling salmonella eggs for $0.69/dozen under the brand name SEGGS (salmonella eggs)

I would argue books aren’t trivial things and this is actually an important thing to legislate

$50k is 1-2 years pay for the person who reported him. For them, that short term relief was worth more than the highly improbable outcome where this man’s actions actually impact their life in a positive way in the next few months. Money wins almost every time

Good eye, I missed that. But you’re right, it’s unlikely their position has changed

Did these guys watch the news this week?

Honestly this looks like a different guy, personally I would acquit if they put him on trial with those photos as evidence. I’d be nervous if police asked me if I was in New York this week too.

There was recently a leaked video allegedly of Nick getting a blowski from one of his counterparts on the left. I don’t know if it was ever confirmed to be Nick but I really don’t have a hard time believing it

If I was an undocumented migrant and a family member of mine voted for Trump, or vocally supported him, I’d be pissed, and I’d say “if they deport me, I hope they deport you too.”

Are you saying that would be wrong of them?

And I’m not allowed to feel the same way, just because (you’re assuming) I’m white?

I dislike and wish real life consequences upon any Trump supporter. Not their family.
