Only possible upside is that the growth of this garbage slowly kills US soft power as they keep producing shit that nobody wants to watch.

He really is and gets overlooked all the time so people can claim Biden is some geopolitical master. I don’t know why Kissinger is recognized as the geopolitical ghoul more than Nixon but somehow it doesn’t apply to Blinken. Nordstream blowing up was his wet dream coming true.

I think Ben Shapiro stands more on William Buckley’s shoulders. Limbaugh was way too loud and crass to be modeling Buckley.

I got sent a link to a stream of the Buffalo Bills game and I get it now. Why people are still going nuts over them. They were a joke in the 2000’s but people still held hope, and it seems like it finally paid off after God knows how long.

They also sent me links to stuff about the Detroit Lions and I’ve become a fan of them as well. I just really like underdog stories.

The discussion around Piglet’s big game was a surprise lol

Remember seeing that trailer for it years ago with the cutesy music and wanting to play it but couldn’t find it at blockbusters.

Northern Honduras is especially getting pummeled by it. Belize and East El Salvador are getting it pretty bad as well, as is Northern Guatemala. My hometown is luckily out of range for the storms this time so it will go a little easier on my end unlike what happened with Beryl.

It’s sort of like that in Guatemala but not nearly as bad. Our largest “socialist” party are just Berniecrats and people think of them when they hear socialism, although the negative association isn’t really there anymore. It used to be similar to what you’re experiencing so this is actually an improvement lol

The curse of being a NATO/ MNNA country, of which Argentina is an MNNA country

It probably is amazing when you view Yemenis as primitive people living two centuries behind the west

Lmao easy way to make Logan Paul even more hated to the point someone else might actually kill him

 

These people love to accuse others of having a simplistic worldview when they can only view geopolitical conflicts as good vs. evil.

This is from a "leftist" sub. This same user then says they're muslim and that everybody objecting to their take doesn't understand politics and is an edgy teenage tankie larper.

I'm fucking done with NATO leftists on these subs and sticking to TheDeprogram and SLS before I give myself an aneurysm

 

It seems that this is an attempt to gain favor with Latin American countries as they move more towards China. I have a feeling this is going to go the usual way of American-led incompetence by giving the private sector too much control and having every project take forever to complete.

Also to note that the biggest America worshipping countries joined this little forum while pledging themselves to their lord.

 

One of my childhood friends is finding himself in a tough situation. He's autistic and has struggled to make decent money for most of his life. He recently got a job working as a dishwasher while looking for a trade to get into.

His parents are when the issues kick in. They charge him rent (he's 31 btw) that's currently only $107. They used to charge him $300 back in 2014 and would have it go up by $50 every year to the point he was paying $600 before Covid hit. He still had to pay rent while in school and his parents refused to stop it during that time. The majority of his unemployment checks during Covid went into their rent.

They decided to change things by having him go on foodstamps in order to reduce his rent. He spends maybe $20 a week at the most for food because he's never been a big eater. Most of that foodstamp money goes to his parents who use it for groceries, including his. The thing is that they spend way more than he ever does and completely max out the card every month.

He's been under stress lately because he has to re-certify but his new job has a schedule that's all over the place and makes it so he keeps missing the calls when they happen. His parents insist that part of this process is to help him with his Autism and "become an adult." The stress got so bad for him with all the missed calls that he threw his hands up and decided to just not re-certify because it was adding too much stress in his life. His parents responded angrily by saying he would then "owe" them money in the form of $250 a month plus the $174 he already owes from a loan he took out five years ago.

The big kicker is that they're a pretty wealthy family living in a very wealthy part of Upstate New York, but they leech off what little money he has like vultures. The whole rent thing is said to be helping him with his Autism to become more self-sufficient but if anything it's made him more financially dependent on them than anything.

I know this was more of a rant than anything, but it's been difficult listening to this for years now and seeing him still stuck living with them. It's pretty clear to me that he's scared of moving out of their nice house and living in some sketchy apartment without a car because he can't afford one. I'm just not sure what else there is to do because I'm not living in the US and am unfamiliar with how social services work there.

Is there a way for him to get out and not be living on the edge of poverty?

Used to love this site for creepy factoids but it's filled with stupid shit like this

 

I can feel the neckhairs from all the way over here

 

Kind of a weird zinger. I thought leftists were stereotyped to be sex-driven heathens?
