  • Anti-nuclear people are crazy to me. How does anyone actually argue this policy without looking like a dumbass

  • Genuinely the most relatable thing ive seen on this site.

    Finding out that people aren't always obsessing and having severe anxiety over things like food wastage or being violent to people for no reason was such an eye opener

  • So, I've been prescribed some anti-anxiety meds...

    1.I don't really know if i wanna take them. I know it's the anxiety talking but I'm honestly just scared. Either of getting more impulsive without fear or of becoming numb

    2.I don't think it'll change my overall political thought, but I might change...idk, I'm not sure how much comes from anxiety tbh

  • Cop shows. I know, it sucks, but I've been watching them since I was a kid

  • I love how insurance is basically taxes where the insurance company takes more than what taxes would and also doesn't provide the service it's supposed to

  • The irony in this getting down voted it a little funny to me

    But honestly i think it's fine, I don't think there's a good way to solve it really

  • I genuinely got flashbanged by this since I haven't been on that side of reddit in years

  • I think I get Russia's strategy [war of attrition to deplete western arms and Ukranian manpower] but even with that I had assumed we were going to see a larger push into Ukraine as spring began

  • I'm not super pissy about this but I wish when people downvoted something they'd comment why they did that.

    I mean sometimes it's just obvious [i.e, if someone comes in and is like "Stalin ate my grandma with a comically big spoon so Ukraine should nuke Moscow" I'm not mad if you don't reply to that], and I don't mean literally every single person, but if there's no negative/critical comments on a post receiving down votes it's just not very helpful. Also it's just good to hear opposing perspectives tbh.

  • Has anyone here watched The Crown? I know it's probably filthy royal propaganda but I'm curious after seeing a few clips

  • Some of yall would not have survived Molotov Ribbentrop tbh

  • I just did the [rough] math that the current defense budget of the US is equivalent to giving every person in the US $2400 directly into their bank account a year [about $200 a month]. I know it's no NYC appartment but still 😒

    Edit: my apologies, it'd actually be billions of dollars...cheaper

  • Also heartwarming news, a good 5-10% of comments [from my count, not an actual survey] on Jacob Gellers video about 1984 are "Orwell sucked actually"

    Edit: There was one bit that spoke to me. The forward discussed at about 38 minutes into the video, about Orwell being afraid he'll lose his political anger and turn into another apologist for "things as they are" is something ive felt a lot. Not because any logical conclusion or epiphany, but just because it's happened to so many others. Even as i discuss the reasons why Abbie Hoffman or Angela Davis and such lose their political fire, i still find myself afraid that I'll succumb to it too.

  • I hate the last portion of the semester where you're tired and burnt out from all the exams but everything keeps moving At a normal pace before finals anyway.

    Also i still hate my statistics class. I honestly wish Mao would've retaken Taiwan so my professor would've died in the army

  • That has a whole different connotation

  • I just didn't have a better term off the top of my head. Conservative socialism isn't exactly a helpful descriptor but I didn't want to say like Tailism either or anything.

  • I don't have the time [or honestly the knowledge] to go super in depth, but basically a lot of the old guard who currently runs the party are more in line with "Patriotic socialism." [As in, socialism that supports the current state.] Meanwhile the younger generation who gave joined the party more recently are more principled.

    The SMO makes things complicated since, to my knowledge, the CPRF was on board with it before even United Russia/Putin was on board with it.

  • Congrats to the tumor for being removed from netanahyu. No one deserve to be infected by him

  • No, but I'll check them out now
