It's a health textbook, of course it's stuck in the 1950's

There was never going to be a clean exit from Afghanistan from the moment the US decided to try to nation build there.

People wanted blood after 9/11, and if we were honest with ourselves about who we really are as a country, after Bin Laden got away in Tora Bora we would've leveled Kabul and called it a day, for all the difference it ultimately ended up making. Not saying it would've been right, but it would've accomplished the exact same thing as what 20 years of occupation did, arguably with less blowback, and it could've been done without dragging the rest of our allies into it, but gotta keep up appearances.

Honestly, I think the left needs to lean into shit like this post. Just loudly pretend Biden is the best president ever and should be unanimously elected god-emperor of the earth for life. We can have the real adult discussion when some jurisdiction finally smacks Trump with something that'll bar him from office (or he kicks the bucket) and enough of the boomers have died off that the Republican party can't win purely by catering to the most deranged of them. Or at least wait until 2028 when we have Democrat primary.

I don't think that people are dumb, but most are too distracted, tired and disengaged to see "vote as harm reduction" as meaningful motivation to vote for someone. Nuance does not make for good propaganda, and while propaganda is distasteful, it's necessary.

Even if you're of the opinion that the only way to effect meaningful change is through violent revolution, the far left in this country does not have and is not in a position to co-opt the infrastructure necessary to do that, nor the widespread political support.

Lady, the question was "do thongs touch you butthole?"

Please tell whoever is holding the keys that a random on the internet said to let you cum, if not for your own sake then for the rest of ours.

Pretty sure for those to be entry/exit wounds it'd need to have gone through bone. He wouldn't be up and walking around if that were the case. The supposed "entry" wound is too ragged to be a bullet or pellet, gunshot entry wounds are the exact size/shape of the bullet.

Likely the canine teeth of some other animal that got a hold of his snout.

I read the comment as 1% that you have to look info it to tell that it's snake oil.

Monero has value if your threat model includes people who can legally compel banks to give up your information. Cryptos allow for bypassing state sanctions.

Smart contracts are a decentralized alternative to escrow services and maybe allow for the conducting of business without relying on the threat of state violence, provided your use case is something where completion can be determined automatically by a machine (or theirs infrastructure that accommodates for that, but then essentially you've just recreated escrow with extra stemps).

GrapheneOS has an option to scramble the numbers on the unlock screen. I don't know if that's a base android thing or available on IOS

Fuck me I thought that you just had a browser extension that replaced CEO with "rich white" or something. What even is this world but G-d finding new way to punish me every day for not committing 41%.

Its legitimately unsafe. Having traffic on one side consistently faster than you and the other side slower greatly reduces the chance of accidents because you can have have some relative assurance that speeding up while merging left is safe and slowing down while merging right is safe. It also keeps faster traffic out of and further away from onramps/offramps.

Drive safe, don't be an asshole, its not that complicated.

Sure, put it out for free and I'll donate the same as I do for any open source software I use.
