So for me, for larger things, i use Amazon to find which products i want and i hunt down the website of the store that makes it. For small stuff, or things that may be from a smaller site, or over seas i order on Amazon. I am sure the smaller sites need the boost even more, but Amazon gives me the extra layer of guarantee of satisfaction.

This is satire right?

Holy shit. I have read the whole damn thing…. And I walk away with far less respect for the ADL, and the news media (somehow); more respect for wikipedia; that I recognize editors of wikipedia here; and that the ADL considers me anti-Semitic because I disagree with what Israel is doing.

As far as i can tell, Biden is historically pro isreal. Openly refers to himself as a zionist. His religion demands that isreal gains power in order to attempt to make the bible only embarrassingly incorrect. His parents instilled in him that due to WWII the Jews are justified in taking the land and this includes their current encroachment. He has been the main and highest paid donar recipient of pro isreal groups for his 5 decades in politics . Changing course now would force a critical evaluation of his 5 decades of blindly giving unwavering support to Israel and recognition that Palestinians are people. Also the US has made enemies of everyone in the region, and Israel gives us a “foot hold” there.

All this makes the finding of a genocide a mere consideration for his polling numbers.

“ I will renew my information with the conscription office when the time comes, until then, give me my passport,” a man named Maksym told the BBC. “

-Maksym never would renew his information. For him the time could never come.

Same with me. It’s weird, during the end of the Mayan calendar my grandparents asked my dad to leave his wife and two kids to go into their bunker to prepare to fight off the minorities that all follow the Antichrist during the end times. The reason we were not invited to their crusade was my mom voted Democrat, and Jesus would not give souls to children who would live to see the end times as that would be to cruel for their god. He told them hell no. And it was weeks before they resurfaced again and pretended nothing ever happened. Could i have been conditioned thus if my dad don’t join the NAVY? Scary thought.

I had not set these options yet. But they are set now. I am keeping undefined, not sure all that i would lose without it

I would like to be able to more effectively filter posts of languages i can’t understand. Using memmy i have been trying to filter posts by key word and entering common words in every language, but it’s not changed how much i scroll past, and it’s hard to determine if it’s effective at all.

More and more i find its because search engines are terrible at their job. But with google fu, and culling advertiser key words from possible search results i can find what i am looking for… half way down the page

And yet the argument was never “do these places need to be independent?” But “can China be trusted with dominion over space based on how they treat international waters and their neighbors.” You will notice that i did not specify any particular action or event. But you are already here with excuses for events and actions. Hence me mentioning that you are making my argument for me. Because you did that i already know, you know i am right to not trust china, and also you have a vested interest in me not being right.

Tibet

I looks like the conflict is the goal and peace talks are the problem he is trying to solve

Ah so you made my point anyway

Can we apply this methodology of Chinas in how they treat their neighbors, and “wont seek to “own” outer-space” and do so at the benefit of the world and compare it to how they treat Taiwan, Hong Kong, and international waters? Oh to shreds you say?

So nothing then? The article is weird to frame them as important and impactful, then its gets undermined by that bit you hi-lighted.

Initially it was kinda barren but over time as more people switched there was more content. First it was just reddit reposts galore, but now i think it’s much less. Probably due to vote meaning even less here. I don’t miss it at all at this point.

Your listed positives of the electoral college seem like just more negatives, but with honey on top.

You mean like mlem?

I am not too bothered, for a wile there was a drought of content, and engagement is needed to retain reddit refugees. Now there is a spaghetti and wall approach going on to try to get people to leave any sort of comment, and farm for likes obviously

And looking through the OP replies, it all makes sense. Testing the waters huh?

Personally i think he is a piece of shit. With incorrect views, appealing to soundly disproven methodologies, and pushes unethical treatment of women. That was before he was charged with rape and human trafficking.

I think that his followers are easily milked, and a obviously don’t have a dominant bone in their body.
