I've seen discussions on here about Biden winning this year because he works in the ruling class's interest.

If the CIA really did just push a button at Langley and decide the next president, why not Hilary?

She's a corporate ghoul like the rest of them, loves war, everyone expected her to win, and the election was close enough to be plausible either way. She would have been a more reliable, or at least knowable, asset to the deep state than Trump.

She would have been the same mid president as Trump, but it would have been more of a banality of evil approach. Everyone's material conditions would have gotten worse in the same way but there wouldn't have been the media circus around everything she did.

So why do you think the 'most qualified' person for the job didn't win last time? And what could that say about this year?

Because thats me, thats what I am

I reconnected with an old friend last night.

This VERY skilled filmmaker friend told me that they have been shooting videos of protests for the past 5 years but doesn’t quite know what to do with an (apparently) vast collection of footage.

I was thinking that they might be interested in some sort of leftist press collective that focuses on protection of anonymity with a dedication to journalistic integrity; something to multiply their efforts.

They’re at an expert level in editing, vfx, (especially) compositing (even without the footage, this friend would be, by far, the most skilled nuke compositor to lend their skills to a leftist cause that has ever existed. They have done work on more major motion pictures and vfx-heavy commercials than they can even name. Imagine the implications of that kind of meme firepower?), color grading, camera, etc so they’d absolutely be a valuable asset to any press team, honestly.

Does anyone have any advice? I want to make sure my friend is protected while also allowing them to leverage the spirit of collaboration to help make an impact on society if possible.

Are they cops?

Personally I'm going with micro crabs

What do you think of the Borgachev?

They give me red scare "Everyone under communism wears grey and has no individuality" propaganda. "Why do you resist us? We only wish to increase your quality of life"

Although personally, they remind me of what it's like working under capitalism.

Before you tell me I know there is a PPB button but I swear to god I am not clicking it, it just happens sometimes

All the ones I can find are just in Danish.

It happens often enough that I don't think it can be a coincidence. Is it just because fascism revels in subjugating and abusing the weak, and nobody's weaker than children?

Apparently my £40 off peak return they sold me this morning is not valid and I just had to pay another £60 for a single.

It is mad, I just flew 4 hours for £30.

On Jeopardy today, the final clue.

Category: 20th Century History

Clue: After the Vietnam War, Vietnam got bogged down in a campaign against this leader whom it managed to overthrow in 1979.

None of the three contestants on Jeopardy got it right, how about the hexbears?

Do you use the twist tie on a loaf of bread or do you just twist and tuck the tail of the bag?

So is it a high probability that if a chick used to be super into me and has cooled considerably and on the site we were talking on it looks like she's up talking to somebody else.

I'm assuming she's found another dude she likes talking to more than me..

I'm not positive though

Very impressed with it, the first time I smelled it I was taken back by it. Anything similar to it?

Is the message of the episode good or bad? It gives vibes of “wealth = success” and “I can’t help it if I’m rich” which is kind of shitty.

The episode ends with an explicit question: “When are we gonna stop doing this to each other?” which seems to imply that it is the black community that is holding itself back.

Did this episode age like milk, or is it a valid perspective within the black/POC community?

Also thoughts on the show in general?

I'm having a hard time coping.

I really want an answer to this from people who are not reddit-brained libs. I have seen some good points elsewhere about this contributing to a cycle of abuse and control, causing parents to withdraw their kids from school to beg instead, etc., but if someone is desperate enough to humiliate themselves by begging on the street, shouldn't we give to them? Or should I feel bad that I did give to them?

this is literally my second time posting this this year but I picked up a XLUX Roffu after my last post and while it is definitely better than my dead HR Fury (rip king), I honestly have been smoking more joints/bowls than using it because of how mid the vapor production and mouthpieces are. I am considering the Crafty+ but honestly I am sure there is probably a better portable alternative.

I would get the Mighty but I have delicate tiny hands and would like something that doesn't look like I'm trying to inhale an ereader into my mouth whenever someone passes me on the trail by my house......

Once again this is in AskChapo because the liberal mods refuse to give us a c/drugs
