Iran has been supplying Shahed drones to the Russian military since the start of the conflict. Ukraine told them to stop supplying Russia with the very weapons that enable Russia to strike their cities.

Ukraine didn’t go out of their way to start attacking random ships or murder Iranian citizens, or even attack their infrastructure. They sank a ship carrying weapons that Russia was intended to use to hurt them. That’s pretty justifiable.

I’m sorry bud, but this is an absolutely ridiculous take.

Russia has been using Iranian Shahed drones to conduct nearly all of their long range drone attacks. In return, Russia has been supplying Iran with Intelligence on the US.

Ukraine didn’t just randomly attack a cargo ship. They are effectively preventing Russia from acquiring weapons. Ukraine warned Iran to stop supporting Russia with drones and to not escalate their support. Iran didn’t listen.

This has everything to do with defense.

Shut up and take my money!

For real though, casual and chill-out games are so cathartic. Sure, I love my edgy soulsborne action adventures… But a couple of edibles and some Slime Rancher and I’m happy as a clam.

Lol no. Have people ever done drugs in a library? Sure. They e also done them at churches, and schools, and town centers, and pretty much everywhere.

Have people ever had sex in libraries? Sure. They e also had sex at churches, and schools, and town centers, and pretty much everywhere.

Are all of those places now drug ridden sex dens? Lol no. But Fox clearly has an agenda to get rid of free places that educate and assist people. They could do the same article and just say “public schools” so that conservatives clutch their pearls and buy into charter or religious private schools.

Conservatives are a simple, fearful bunch.

He’s a meathead strong, alpha man in a position with a lot of public eyes that other meatheads strong, alpha men can look up to for guidance.

Hey, if his admission to being tricked by Trump’s lies causes other MAGA folks strong, independent thinkers to have a little introspection and change, I’m all for it.

The Democrats are asking for the following:

• Extension & expansion of health-care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This was set to expire at the end of 2025, and would drive up insurance costs for millions of low-income and middle class families if not subsidized.
• Reversal or protection against Republican-led cuts in Medicaid / other health programs. The BBB removed a lot of people from Medicade coverage, they want to prevent it from getting worse and guarantee protection for US citizens.
• A meaningful say in any continuing resolution (CR) or stop-gap that reopens the government.

Essentially, Republicans are trying to ram through legislation that fuck over a lot of people. Democrats are trying to prevent a lot of people from being fucked over, and have essentially told Republicans that you need to work with us on these things…like, you know, a functional government is supposed to do.

Not sure if you’re just blatantly ignorant of what’s actually happening or if this is just an attempt to smear Democrats, but it’d be nice if a Republican could take the extra 5 minutes to actually read about what’s going on. I’ll do it for you (you’re welcome).

Sen. Hawley introduced the “Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025” on Oct. 21st. It’s currently with the Senate Appropriations Committee, as of that time. It’s not likely to go anywhere though as REPUBLICAN LEADERS, are not prioritizing it. From a Politico article, there were several quotes from Republicans stating that they don’t want a stopgap, that it doesn’t actually fix the problem.

But hey, it’s so much more convenient to just blame Democrats for every problem, isn’t it?

You know how much specialized farming equipment costs? That’s like you owning a plumbing business and the government then screwing over your business somehow and someone going, well, you can always just start a electrician business. Like, sure you have some basic tools that might crossover, but it’s an entirely different field that you know nothing about. There’s significant risk as you know very little about that new crop, you may not have connections for distribution, you might not be scaled correctly to handle the nutrient or water needs. It requires extensive planning and if you fuck up one thing in that crop (i.e. you now have a weird blight or mildew or destructive animal you never planned for), you could be properly fucked.

Yeah, we got chickens just to support my egg addiction. I make a soft scramble pretty much every single morning.

He is the Goonmaster. The chosen one, prophesized by the ancients, to save us from a dark evil. By his hand, he will lead us into salvation. Praise be /u/vaultdweller013! May his sword remain strong, and his hand firm, for dark days be ahead of us.

I had a better idea. What about every additional house you own drives up the tax rate on every house you own by 1-2 %? This makes it affordable to still own a vacation house if you really want one, but by the 3-4th house, there’s zero profit margin on the houses (if you’re renting them out and it quickly becomes pointless or expensive to own multiple properties.

I don’t want to support any company that is either directly or indirectly funding genocide and fascism. It’s not complicated.

If you found out that Netflix powered their servers using an orphan grinding machine, would you still subscribe to them?

The tariffs are absolutely fucking up our country right now, and I live in the US, and we absolutely deserve it. It’s affecting every single one of my projects (I work in an engineering/manufacturing company). Turns out 10-25% tariffs really cuts out a lot of the margin for people so we’ve had to significantly bump prices on aerospace components. This in turn will drive ticket prices up eventually as well. It’s also affecting our groceries. And then the side effects of all of it, is the boycotts from numerous countries. It’s absolutely crushing our trade.

That said, all of the boycotts are absolutely fantastic. Keep it up. Our lead-addled half of the US needs to understand what isolationist policies do to our country. Maybe it’ll be the wake up call that people need to understand that international cooperation is the key to success.

It comes off so elitist when people like you and OP act this way though. Most people don’t like politics or even want to get involved. A majority of those ones that do get involved have such a baseline understanding of what their political affiliation is it’s shocking. Hell, for most of my life I didn’t know better either. I always considered myself a liberal Democrat, but better realized that I’m fully a progressive.

It’s better to be open and supportive of people, and to talk to them about their beliefs. It goes a lot better than ridiculing then over it. You catch a lot more flies with honey, than with vinegar.

Why so blue?

They taste like Selena Gomez. What do you mean what are they? You act like this is complicated. I mean it says right there in the outside of the cookie tray wrapper. They’ve been putting the flavors in the outside for 30+ years. They wouldn’t just change it up on a random whim.

You have to be a troll. Nobody can be this big of a bellend.

The link literally goes to a site that says it’s not a group and links the post from Trump stating that antifa is a terrorist group 😂.

I’m sorry to say that if you consider yourself ‘anti-facist’, you already part of Antifa. There is literally no difference between the two. None whatsoever. Zero.

Stop letting conservative media trick you into thinking there is. The alt-right just needs a “they” that they can attack and latch on against, and “ANTIFA” is the scary boogie man that they’ve persuaded you exists. It’s just a bunch of people that say, “I’m anti-fascist.” That’s it. That’s all it is.

Sorry to burst your bubble there Cletus.

I always understood it as your immune system gets weaker from being in the cold and makes it easier for viruses and such to propogate in your body. We’re constantly fighting off minor infections and disease, and thankfully our immune systems are pretty strong…cold does not help it.

I’d say this one is sort of true…in the right context.

Bummer to hear that your still constantly in pain then. :/

I’ve used it for joint and back issues and it’s absolutely been a game changer for me. Helped with a couple pretty bad burns as well.

Anyways, good luck. Hope you find something that works.

Mate, I’m going to urge to to try cannabis gummies. Your body actually has natural cannabinoid receptors that help regulate your mood and pain management. Cannabinoids are 100% natural. I wouldn’t recommend smoking, because I feel you on trying to avoid poisons and such, but cannabis is such an amazing and natural pain reliever for chronic pain. It’s also anti-inflammatory so it helps massively for burns, bites, scrapes, etc. It can also help boost your mood.

If your worried about “getting high”, CBD gummies do the same thing but minimize the psychoactive THC from the mix. Let me know if you have any questions.
