I also try not to judge people simply for being religious, but it's pretty damn hard when it's the direct cause of their affirmative stance on things like anti-vax, anti-abortion, anti-contraception, anti-science etc.

Of course there are people with those stances who aren't religious at all too, but they do seem to be in the minority.

In addition to what others have said, cut back on the sugar.

That is literally what happens in US news when the subject involves a criminal offence or could be considered defamation.

From a legal point of view it hasn't been tried in a court of law, which is why words like "apparently" and "allegedly" are used.

What are some good scripts for grease monkey?

They really take the Hannibal directive seriously

Let me tweak that for you so you can maybe understand what's going on here:

"He can say death to Nazi Germany but if you say the same sentence with Poland you’re banned"

For anyone reading this who may not be aware, there's a lot of overlap between the two diagnoses, and there's a chance you may have both.

So what you're saying is I have great potential but just need to apply myself?

I mostly agree with your points, but even the article title very clearly says 'could'.

Russia had been encroaching on Ukrainian borders for years before launching their full invasion, and I'm not aware of similar actions against other European nations. It may be fearmongering, but unifying and strengthening NATO is in an important step to take to prevent Putin from going even further. He is heading towards his latter years now, and he seems to like the idea of restoring the 'glory' of the USSR and showing the West how big and stronk Russia is.

Additionally, in a larger-scale war with other, better armed European nations, Russia might not hold back on using their nukes this time round.

Depends what your reason for using it is I suppose. pricyguides.org only recommends GrapheneOS as an alternative for privacy and security reasons, but it requires a Pixel device unfortunately.

Figure 1. Association between factuality score adjusted by country mean, parties’ left-right ideology (right), and populism (middle), and government participation (left) with 95% confidence intervals.

I think this means that the y axis represents the deviation from the mean score, not the actual 'factuality score'.

I keep seeing this sentiment here lately, yet no evidence that it happened on a meaningful scale is ever presented.

And get an innocent person shot

Calling Stalin a Marxist is like calling the Nazi party socialists, or North Korea a democracy.

They can use whatever words they like in their ideology/party/country's name but it doesn't mean a thing.

Their system isn't set up to realistically accommodate third parties. Without actually overhauling the entire electoral system (something neither major party wants) the only way to get any third party representation would be a massively coordinated grassroots campaign that would require a huge amount of funding to overcome all the media attacks it would suffer.

In effect, as the system currently works, a third party vote is a wasted vote unfortunately.

I don't think you understand the point of the protests. People don't want their government funding and supplying the weapons for a genocide.

What would a protest about Sudan achieve if your country has no involvement in it?

Exactly. I feel sorry for everyone in the US who has to live through another Trump term, but from my outsider perspective the Dems really screwed themselves on this one.

I never saw a single person say Trump would be better for Palestine, so I'm not sure what you're on about...

As for complaining about Dems and not Trump, that makes sense to me because it's assumed that Trump is shit, but Dems pretend to be better than they are.

I guess we'll see if those elections happen this year.
