It’s been a while since I felt like that, though I know what you’re talking about. I think I’ve come to terms with it and have a really healthy outlook now. I don’t want to die or anything, there’s a lot more I want to do and see and learn, but I also don’t fear death whenever it comes. In some ways it will be a relief.

Let me know if you find something like that, I’m also interested.

Ukraine wasn’t present for the vote apparently that’s why it’s black and not green

No problem. The author is definitely a lib who wrote it from a pro-US perspective as a warning basically, like “if you don’t stop treating Puerto Rico like shit they’re going to leave you for China” but if you can look past the ideology I think it’s got some good info.

If Puerto Rico were independent it could start doing deals with China which the US doesn’t want, I read a whole book about that once which I can’t remember the details of super well but maybe the book would interest you.

Well she has no chance of winning, so it’d be sort of weird if she did care about that or was talking like it was a real possibility. It’s still good that there are anti-genocide candidates like her and the PSL candidate on the ballot. I don’t think people who vote for them are expecting them to win, they’re signaling their disapproval of the two candidates who might win.

Did you mean to say Harris?

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check that out!

I just wish the iPhone podcast app would display the episodes in the proper order

Probably Israel warned to evacuate that building prior to bombing it or something.

Can somebody interpret his hint? How did they blow up those tankers?

That was a wild ride

Independent voter or non-partisan I guess.

Your terminology is fine in the narrow context of talking to other American libs about mainstream American politics but you’re commenting on a forum full of communists so to us you’re a lib and calling yourself a moderate is meaningless hair-splitting.

In the narrow, U.S. centric sense that you think those are categorically different things when in reality conservatives and moderates are also liberals ideologically.

Liberals, conservatives and moderates in the narrow sense that you are using those terms are just mildly different flavors of liberal ideology, in the original sense of the word.

Whatever, lib

Well that saying was coined by some neo nazi and the clear intention of it was anti-semitic

Hell yeah

I was under the impression that China hasn’t had an economic recession since the founding of the PRC, including during the Mao years. Could have to do with how people define recessions though.

I had to send an updated resume for a job interview which I whipped up real quick and after sending it I realized that I left the boilerplate in the first section so it said like “Profile: click here to change the text and add some information about yourself” lmao.

I noticed immediately and sent a second email with the fixed one, and I got the job offer anyway!
