I remember as a kid during the summer in my area we would have maybe like a few days or a week of heat and that would be the heat wave for the year. Then it became 1-2 weeks of heat, then multiple heatwaves per year, and now it's just common for the heat to hang around all summer and then a solid 2ish months of high temps from like October to mid/late November. Last year I was wearing my summer clothes through early December. very cool and not concerning at all

Oct 7th is nothing compared to what Israel has been doing to Palestinians for the past 75+ years.

If you kidnap/rape/torture/murder people who are trapped in an open-air prison on land you stole from them they are 100% justified in fighting back. You don't get to occupy someone else's land and then claim "self defense."

that before/after pic that keeps getting shared is so funny because it's just zionists admitting that their only metric for success is the amount of civilians killed. "oh your attack didn't turn a city into rubble and result in thousands of child-sized body bags? weak shit"

isn't one of the most popular talk show hosts in China a transgender woman?

“While there is a debate about the effectiveness of sanctions, what we are now seeing is what would start to happen if the sanctions were removed,” said Byrne. “This is giving North Korea a very significant lift.”

oh no, anything but that

Stewart can be funny but he is definitely still a lib. reposting an old comment of mine:

when I was a lib I used to like The Daily Show because it was kinda cathartic to watch them mock conservatives.

However I remember one episode where they were covering a story about students at Berkeley protesting the marines opening up a recruiting office on campus, and basically the entire segment was them shitting on these kids. The students were anti-war and didn’t want the US military recruiting future killers on their campus. The Daily Show even had their news correspondent Rob Riggle (retired marine) interviewing students and trapping them in ridiculous “gotchas” to make them look dumb. It was one of the first moments as a baby leftist where I was like “wait… why are they doing this? those kids are right to not want the military at their school.” And watching this thickneck piece of shit Riggle bully young people who obviously don’t know enough to “debate” him while a camera is shoved in their face was infuriating.

Then later I watched Stewart perform at USO shows in Iraq and Afghanistan (among other places) to entertain these imperialist tools and I just lost any shred of respect I still had for him. He even had that awful “Rally to Restore Sanity” event in D.C. which was effectively a giant centrist circlejerk that accomplished absolutely nothing. I haven’t even paid attention to anything he’s done since but I’m not the least bit surprised that he’s still a dipshit.

also don't ask him about his views on China

during the height of COVID my cousin found out me and the rest of our side of the family got the vaccine and she flipped out, talking about how she doesn't even want to associate with us anymore. like two months before that she told me that making fun of Trump in front of kids was child abuse lol ("he's the president of the united states of america!"). I don't even want to know wtf she's teaching her kids behind closed doors. it really is a cult

love how the paragraph starting with "Our aim remains to de-escalate tensions" is immediately preceded by a paragraph talking about their air strikes on 36 targets in Yemen

(Trump’s) basic idea that, in a transaction, someone wins and someone loses is the most deeply anti-American, anti-capitalist idea you can possibly have. The idea of winners and losers being said about capitalism is a gross distortion of what that’s supposed to be.

Lol

It sounds like you got under this guy’s skin.

yea lol It's always funny when someone goes out of their way to let you know you struck a nerve

I’d expect the same out of a machine I might potentially have to, say, deliver a pregnant wife to the hospital in.

lol first thing I thought of too. I've been in emergency situations where I needed to get to a hospital immediately and if my car did this I'd be fucking livid. As dangerous as motorcycles are at least I know that mine will never fail a software update or some shit, and if it doesn't start I can just bump start it to get it going and then figure out what's wrong later.

I'm no luddite but there's beauty in a machine that's designed to be as simple to operate and maintain as possible

It's difficult to express in words how I feel seeing my country trip over itself to throw billions of dollars into a black hole while millions of my own people live in poverty and die of preventable diseases. How long have we been fighting for something as basic as universal healthcare and the answer is always "it costs too much." I guess money is no object when we're funding nazis
