Sometimes sound, sometimes an impact. Either way it’s pretty disruptive. I thought this was very common.

This makes much more sense.

So how will NATO respond to Putin? Bad boy, don’t do it again!

Oooo, look at us shaking in our boots. Putin can go to his bunker and shoot himself in the face.

After the IDF killed three hostages who were waving white flags and speaking Hebrew, we know their intentions are to not play by the rules of war.

Eating dogs is as disgusting as eating cows, pigs and chickens.

Have had an Ev for a year. Would not switch back. I’m saving too much money.

Same for peeling apples. One long continuous peel is so satisfying.

Difficult to feel sympathetic towards someone who suggests annexed land land can be taken at will. But also hard to deny the punishments he faces from Putin are extremely heavy handed. Russia really needs a revolution that puts in place people who actually want to serve the people and become a productive democracy.

I think him being concerned with the economics of a war rather than the ethics of it are telling. However here is a quote from Navalny in March. Seems like he is somewhat on a middle ground. Not sure what to think of him.

Navalny wrote that Ukraine’s borders are “similar to Russia’s—[they were] internationally recognized and defined in 1991.” All of the areas of Ukraine that the Kremlin has supposedly “annexed” are, by right and by law, still Ukrainian, including Crimea.Mar 2, 2023

If you’re paying 0% it won’t hurt to keep paying it monthly. If you have 12.5k laying around then invest it and make some money. Obviously if you had anything above 0% interest on the loan then paying it off would never be a bad thing.

They could have instead made 852,000 new millionaires or 8.52 million people could have a cool $100,000 to save for retirement or pay off debt. But the rich get richer.

OH YEAH!!!

Wow. The SCOTUS is firing through all sorts of shitty changes this week. They’re like the koolaid man on meth.

I love me some good satire. Good for her.

TIL the fediverse has an echo.

Absolutely beautiful people. I wish the love and care I felt was how everyone treated one another there.

Believe it or not it was a trip to Memphis for training from Canada. I am not well travelled by any means. I made it into Memphis and after a short ride, arrived at my hotel. The people who worked there were some of the most lovely people I have ever met. Southern hospitality was in their soul. I even got to sit down one afternoon with some other guests and hotel staff to discuss differences in politics, healthcare and so on. It blew my mind when people were telling me the expense of just having a baby delivered at their local hospital. I could not wrap my mind around not wanting socialized healthcare. It was the first evening in the hotel, I decided to turn on the local news for Memphis. This was the first real culture shock. The violence. Shootings, stabbings, robberies. I honestly went from feeling like this place is amazing, to this place scares the sh!t out of me. I could not understand why in a place where I had met such beautiful and lovely individuals had to live in a place that was so violent. So after my training week had finished up I decided to head to Beal street and walk around the downtown core a bit. Beal was very much what I had imagined. Kind of felt like a tourist trap. Anyhow I ventured off the beaten path and headed into the town to do some shopping around. I had left a local record shop and heard the ranting of some biker coming out of a building. He was yelling the most racist things if I have ever heard. I was floored. Most of the racists I have encountered where I live are old asshats who keep it secret. But this man out in the street let his hatred fly.

Memphis was this weird crossover world where I was treated like gold and at the same time had to feel afraid for my safety. It still blows my mind the racism and bigotry people still face. It has stuck with me for years.
