  • Do you like the taste of vinegar? Does anyone?

  • Hey Fleur, I hate vinegar too, I always have, and I found out why a few years ago - you might be a certain kind of Supertaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster

    You can take a test off of Amazon if you care (though it isn't like knowing it really changes much). In any case, your aversion may be partially biological. I envy the others in this thread that love vinegar! But the fact is it isn't for everyone!

  • In the United States, for over a hundred years, the ruling interests tirelessly propagated anticommunism among the populace, until it became more like a religious orthodoxy than a political analysis.

  • I think that they are pro-Israel because they want all the American Jews to move there to rid them of "the problem" of American Jews. Think of them like national segregationists - they don't mind Jewish people existing as long as they are "over there". And it's also in Israel's interest to project themselves as the only place in the world where Jews can be safe.

  • Israel tells Washington it plans imminent ground operation in Lebanon, U.S. official says

    Jump

  • I think Bibi knows that Biden isn't going to change course before the election, so he is using this month to escalate things enough to keep them going as long as possible afterwards. In Israel, once things calm down, there will be elections, and Bibi knows he probably won't win.

    On the other hand, domestically, invading Lebanon is very popular - even most of the left wing Jewish opposition supports it. It's crazy making, and frustrating, believe me. But if you only read the Hebrew media and aren't a good enough English speaker to read the international news, it's almost like you live in a different reality where all of the awfulness of Israel goes unmentioned while the awfulness of Hamas and Hezbollah gets talked about 24/7

  • Editorial Board: The teen arrested in Georgia school shooting is not an adult, and shouldn't be treated like one

    Jump

  • Right. Like the whole point of treating juveniles differently is that they are incapable of understanding the magnitude of what they are doing. If anything, the argument for treating them differently is the strongest when applied to very serious crimes like murder.

  • ‘We were sure the Russian army would protect us’: fury after Ukrainian incursion into Kursk

    Jump

  • Thank you for saying this. People (like the below commenter) dunking on people just trying to live their lives who live in a country where their government fucking sucks is gross and not well thought out. (And even if a lot of Russians support the war, its worth remembering that their access to information is limited, and all nations of people become stupid and nationalist in times of war. That doesn't forgive it, but it doesn't mean they deserve to live in a war zone as punishment.)

  • Biden ‘needs to drop out’ campaign official tells NBC News

    Jump

  • I'm so tired of people on Lemmy/kbin downvoting news because it doesn't support their narrative. Like argue all you want about Biden staying in the race, that's great and fine. But do you think trying to suppress news of people's legitimate doubts is really the way to win an election?
