When I was young I was told it would stunt my growth.

Now that I’m a parent I think people just didn’t know how to say “we don’t want kids to get caffeine because it will make them wild or prevent them from sleeping properly.”

Actually yeah. All I find on GroundNees is three reports of UAE debunking this claim. Example: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uae-officials-deny-israeli-reports-strike-inside-iran

Yeah seriously. This kind of thing is really terrifying. This is why we’ll never make it into space. Being in space requires so much effort just to stay alive. The second anyone wants to kill anyone up there, everyone’s dead as hell.

Yeah, dude, I’M the problem. Nice mental gymnastics.

It’s just my opinion but the “brand war” on HDDs is a little overblown in my opinion. I too recall one or two periods where Seagate got bad pr for quality issues, but I’m not concerned that 10 years later any HDD I buy from them is going to croak as soon as it’s half full. There’s no way they would still be in business if that image is true. I think many times if there is a different in quality between brands it’s the difference between 99.999% and 99.998% - gasp! double the failure rate! - and then it evens out again.

It’s so hard to raise kids to turn off the light when they leave the room, with huge wastes of electricity like this just running rampant in the world.

You seem to be expecting a sweet fruit. It isn’t that. It’s fatty and savory. Your post reads like “Fruit is really expensive in my area so I started buying butter… why does anyone like this?”

Spread it on bread and sprinkle on some taco seasoning and salt. You’ll thank me.

Yeah I’m with you on that. I don’t know how any decent person can board the bus of this religion at this point, given how the bus has been hijacked by psychopaths. How up your own ass do you need to be to just show up to church on Sunday and chant hymns? Where are the outraged Christians trying to take their religion back? Nowhere - they just leave.

I suppose this is true. I have more criticisms than praise for my home country, the US, but when I hear people outside it criticize it in a hostile way, my first reflex is not to agree with them, it’s more like “hey fuck you.”

I knew someone would call it 4D chess but I’m not suggesting mad genius. I’m just maybe waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Which makes you wonder if it’s chapter 1 in some other plan.

He has another long YT video about how immigration ruined Canada. Full of stereotypes.

I get that when you want to talk about geopolitics you have to generalize a bit, but this guy generalizes hard multiple times per sentence, these big crystal palaces out of those generalizations and then fashions predictions based on the layout of those palaces. It’s all a bit facile.

Speaking of easy, someday we will realize that this is a guy who predicted Trump would win and that there would be a war with Iran and those two things are not exactly Nostradamus-worthy.

No apology necessary. It is very frustrating material. I hope you have a great weekend.

They got in there!

I heard while he was in Miami he created a pretty big mess for his dad when he stole a retired assassin’s car and killed his dog.

Without holding it, it’s pretty hard to even define what “succeeding in invading” even means.

Just making sure. Cheers

Yeah I hope I made clear that while I know what they will say, I am not agreeing with it or justifying.

Their farcical claims has been pretty visible for a while now: they need not only the land they’ve consider sacred and theirs but also a security buffer around it. If pressed, they will explain how a security buffer is not just an arbitrary distance of land but possession of key geographic positions. And that requires them to go all the way to THIS map.
