In the CBC news alert they only mentioned he was from saudi arabia

Another interesting thing, in that same vein, is asexual or lesbian women that just go along with being in heterosexual relationships with men because it’s ‘normal’ or convenient.

When speaking to you guys, i find it is helpful to state the obvious because it so often escapes your notice.

How is it brainless? Objectively he should never have gone back, accomplished nothing in returning, and proved himself gullible and easily deceived.

he wanted to make a difference to those that couldn’t escape.

He failed then.

he was lured under false pretense.

He’s a journalist and should’ve known better.

you either kill the oppression or they kill you.

I guess he chose the second option

Pretty wild that he’d go back

The high U.S. unemployment rate in 1975, which peaked at 8.5%, was primarily due to the severe recession from 1973 to 1975[1][4]. This economic downturn was driven by a significant decline in real Gross National Product (GNP), falling nearly 7% from its 1973 peak[5]. Contributing factors included a sharp decrease in investment purchases and an unfavorable shift in household balance sheets[1][5]. Additionally, the period was marked by “stagflation,” a combination of high inflation and high unemployment, exacerbated by rising oil prices and fiscal imbalances[9].

but can barely run basic Linux commands.

Just so you know, the fact that they are capable of even using Linux puts them in the top percentile of intelligence.

Her face looks longer to me. I assume they’re trying to make her look more like a real person.

I have a tcl tv but it uses a roku os. Not sure how this will play into that

More airflow via the open entrance could help with the smell

They should play fake fart noises

Are the doors even necessary? Just put a sharp left turn tiny hallway for privacy, blocks out everything but sound - most public bathrooms have them already

Windows 10 no longer being updated by Microsoft is it’s biggest selling point

Earlier they lost because they didn’t support workers, now they lost because they didn’t break up every food, healthcare, and housing company.

I imagine if they did break those companies up and still lost you’d find another aspect of the party that isn’t to to your liking and pin the blame on that going on and on and on.

If improving people’s material conditions worked, the Democrats would win every teamster or every person who relies on the ACA for their healthcare would vote Democrat and they don’t.

The reality is that democrats lose because a huge chunk of voters spend 2 hours a day listening to the voice of a guy who sounds like their dad, telling them that Democrats only care about the gays or the blacks or the browns, and even if you think the republicans are weird religious freaks - at least their cruelty is good for the economy. They hear this idea repeated to them over and over and over and over again and when that happens the human mind starts to assume it’s the truth.

Talking to right-wing people like yourself is always a useful reminder that it’s not that we have a difference of opinions, but rather that you are all so fucking stupid, too stupid to even have a conversation with.

They bailed out the teamsters pension fund and had to fight Republicans tooth and nail to do it — didnt even result in am endorsement and majority of teamsters still voted GOP.

CHIP act made Arizona flush with manufacturing and construction jobs, still voted GOP.

The reason Democrats lose is because they have to campaign against a made-up Republican that is normal and reasonable and Republicans get to campaign against the Oberlin faculty lounge instead of Democrats
