Lebanon’s relationship with Hezbollah is complicated. As in Hezbollah has assassinated Lebanese PM’s for in the past for trying to control Hezbollah.

Maybe Hezbollah’s weakness has something to do with the timing, you think?

The American war for independence is a pretty anemic “revolution”. Think about the material conditions of the average American before and after. Now compare that to revolutionary France, Haiti, or Russia.

It’s almost embarrassing to say your fighting for “freedom” when right next door, literal enslaved people were throwing Napoleon’s army into the sea with machetes.

I got a lot of badges when I was a scout. Didn’t have to use my penis for any of them.

That’s pretty much how it already works. It’s just that the pressure to make the “correct” choice is fucking crazy.

I have a small library of music CDs, because I liked music before there was an internet. I recently ripped them to .FLACC.

I don’t understand why people drag on sugar-babies like they’re the stupid ones in the situation.

I think he’s absorbed the lesson from Iraq&Afghanistan that airstrikes are safe.

Average life spans. People in ancient times didn’t drop dead at forty. They regularly lived to be advanced ages we would consider normal. It’s just that infant and young child deaths were so common it really drags down the average.

That’s a really long article to say that the pig was high on duty and died as a result. Everybody knows that fentanyl exposure syndrome is BS but they still can’t help but imply the fuck out of it.

When citizens OD and crash, they’re treated like the deadly menace that they are. Pigs are protected by fairy tales and moonbeams.

I can not be created, only confirmed.

Watching Youtube videos. It’s as good as college for anyone with a little savvy. I’ll bet that Youtube employs more PHD philosophers than any three universities.

Turf grass. It’s the stupidest crop ever cultivated by humanity.

Lawns are an 17th century European fashion trend. We poison the soil with herbicides to defend grass. We poison the water with fertilizers to feed grass. Many US households through HOAs or zoning regulations are legally required to cultivate and martian grass. Grass doesn’t feed anyone, except the insects that die soon afterwards from all the poison.

Maybe your looking for “toxic-positivity”?

It’s the type of mindset where everything must be positive, even if that means discounting or ignoring negative feelings, bad behavior, and bad situations.

This is a recognized psychological phenomena and can range from normal “keep your chin up” type stuff to full blown “FUD will not be tolerated” cult type stuff

There are telegraphs with higher bandwidth than this thing.

SciShow is good people making science content aimed at a general audience.

Audiophiles get a lot of friction, but this kind of person exists in almost any hobby. People fascinated by equipment and ascetics who loose the plot about what their hobby is all about.

Conspiracy theories can be a coping mechanism that allow people to feel like they understand a complicated and scary world. The Epstein scandal is complicated and scary.
