Proper quote:

Trump separately outlined "an additional 10% tariff, above any additional tariffs" on imports from China. It was not entirely clear what this would mean for China as he has previously pledged to end China's most-favored-nation trading status and slap tariffs on Chinese imports in excess of 60% - much higher than those imposed during his first term.

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has spoken to reporters at D-Chowk, claiming that the PTI’s political leadership is eager to engage in dialogue but a “hidden hand” is overruling their decisions.

“Their entire leadership is keen on having peaceful dialogues but there is one hidden hand which is controlling the decision-making and has an anti-Pakistan agenda. In my experience, that hidden hand is the root cause of all this chaos,” Naqvi said.

The PTI convoy, which departed from Peshawar on Sunday, is led by Bushra Bibi, former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s wife, along with Ali Amin Gandapur, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister.

Only gay children of single mothers who are above the age of 41 who lived in area classified as "Enduring Poverty" are real patriots, and therefore get to go do a Jan 6 (March 5th).

The $5 to $10 dollar zone has kind of fucked my perception of cost. I open online stores and everything is sold for that price. There are complex devices/circuits on Aliexpress being sold for that much. Household products are sold for that much on Amazon. Couple it with frequent discounts, sales, and whatever in physical stores, everything is sold for that much. Basically I'm unable to understand if something should probably cost less than $5 and that I'm overpaying, or on the other end I auto-reject things that cost more than $10.

I think he's wrong on one account: there's 100% a guy in the UAF with the callsign москаль, but whether or not he actually is a moskal'... I'll leave that for conjecture.

Use one of the services that temporarily provision the number for you for crypto. I used grizzly and it worked after some trying, but their account system is shit so make sure your account is fully created before you load up crypto.

This feels like what Central Asia would have looked like if the USSR was never overthrown. The people's behaviour in the video is similar to what you get in Russia and ex-USSR countries (especially in less busy places). People there like it when you try to interact with them in their language and are really friendly, although skin colour definitely increases the "novelty" for them as well.
