Looks like 66% liked the gifts.

So maybe they’re not even burying someone. Maybe they are just burying a bag of dirt. Or a coffin-shaped matryoshka doll.

Please also make it wild as well, I really liked west world and that animation where Johnny depp is a chameleon in case you want some examples of what I’d vote for.

Yeah I forgot which letters belong to it, the one that does chemical weapons too

Edit: meant the IAEA earlier.

Totally, but would if have been meaningful before? It might genuinely make me believe a lizard class of baby blood drinkers rule the world or something like that

He lives in a fantasy world I think

I agree, the us’ imperialism is driven by a lot more than just a few individuals at the top. The ‘aesthetics’ would likely have kept a lot more allies on board. But the biggest change I see is how the powers driving the country are not only hurting a lot of people outside of the US (which goes for most developed countries), but is also more and more hurting people inside the US (similar to oppression in autocratic countries).

As far as the war in Iran goes I’m not so sure, if Democrats would have continuously stayed in power, the deal would most likely be up. But then the defense industry would still push for war somewhere else, so who knows what the world would have looked like. I’m not convinced it would look better.

I didn’t want to either, so here is a link to the full article: http://archive.today/2025.06.21-220113/https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-lists-reasons-he-deserves-nobel-prize-in-epic-meltdown/

And here is the part you ask about:

“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River),” Trump wrote on Friday. “And I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in ‘The Ages!’”

He added, “No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!

If they actually give him a nobel peace price I don’t think I’ll be able to comprehend that. My brain will have an error for as long as I live probably.

That’s not something that happened yesterday. There have been no serious chances in the last 20 years or so, according to the oecd I believe IAEA.

I guess the countries sceptical or hostile back than didn’t really have much reason to change their mind about us. But Trump sure did a lot of damage to the relationship with befriended countries, guess all he has left are strategic allies with a similar world view. But I guess that’s what autocrats want after all. Who needs friends if you’ve got power. But for me personally, even though my view on american people didn’t change much my desire to support them definitely increased. If i were to meet someone from the US tomorrow that person would likely get a better treatment from me than if I had met him a few years ago. Not that i feel sorry for them or anything, but i just am really glad im not in their shoes. Had a colleague from Russia years ago, who left a hostile nation behind. Think I’d feel similarly for someone migrating from the US.

“[…] four [countries] contributed troops to the invasion force (the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland). An additional 37 countries provided some number of troops to support military operations after the invasion was complete.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_of_the_willing_(Iraq_War))

Far far less for sure. Although are quite some far right leaders in Europe right now. Perhaps Hungary and Italy are on their way already.

A decapitating strike to the regime of Iran also seems fair. Maybe not according to international law but my moral compass says it’d be a win for humanity.

China also has relations with Israel, they will most likely try and remain neutral (or at least try to look that way) just like they’re (acting as if they’re) neutral in the war in Ukraine.

In history class i regularly heard about people leaving warmongering countries, not as refugees but as economic migrants. I don’t know your personal situation, but this is a friendly reminder it is possible you end up regretting you stayed. There might not be a better time to leave.

Officially we’ll only be able to call that afterwards, during the cold war ww3 also almost begun. We should still try stop and prevent it, no matter how difficult it to argue it hasn’t begun yet.

Ikr, it’s like puncing someone in the face and then telling that person now is the moment to stop fighting lol

Totally true, which is why i myself most of the time use the words gay and queer (and totally enjoy using those words knowing what they were originally used for). But that doesn’t make the letter soup a bad thing. The ‘hardness’ of it is functional. There might be someone out there who demands all letters are used and in the right order, but don’t mistake me for someone who thinks it is fair to demand representation, respect and understanding isn’t something you claim so i believe you are totally free to go for the easier thing. 0 judgement from my side.

Just add a + to the letters you remember if you don’t want to use a term like gay or queer. Also, i have never met someone upset because their letter was omitted.

On the one hand yes, that’s why at some point people started using the + to make up for every missing letter. An easy way out would to be to say non-hetero-non-cis-folk but then you still miss some groups. You could just say gay people, or queer people, most people will still feel represented. But I like the long string of letters which is a true abomination because of all those letters, exactly because each letter represents someone (a bunch of them even) and it allows for conversation going. The number 2 for example got a lot of people who read this post informed about two-spirited people who maybe never heard those poeple exist before. That matters a lot. If you see for example now republican politicians talking about biological sex even though they never seem to have heard about intersex people it shows how much of the hate comes from not knowing and not understanding. If you’ve read all this, I hope you’ve not read it as an attack because it is not. You going on google is exactly the point. But if you don’t like doing that, please know (most) gays dont believe you have to, people know they are a minority and often don’t mind just telling you about their sexuality or gender when you ask.

Don’t know about Canada specifically but as far as i know asylum laws are about having a valid reason, so being from a specific place is less often a valid reason than being from a minority (can also be religious or ethnical) or having certain political views. They would likely sooner accept for example Amish , indigenous or democratic people only before just accepting anyone from the US. I think you’re wrong in believing that is unlikely to happen if you see how anyone with a Hispanic demeanor is being treated right now.
