It's a thought stopping strategy, define a negative term to exclude the things you want to defend or normalize. Similar to how they used to teach about "alcohol, tobacco, and drugs" in school like the former two aren't drugs, almost certainly influenced by alcohol and tobacco lobbies putting pressure on school curriculums.

I'll take what they keep accusing North Korea of for $420, Donald

What's the point of holding them captive? Just execute them.

This will be extremely useful to preserving agricultural output and existing farmland as climate change induced desertification advances.

Stop making ridiculous comparisons. Dogs are cute when they beg.

All attempts to discover how the universe works benefits us. Even a lot of really esoteric stuff has proven useful in fields like medicine and civil engineering.

Honestly if we can pivot our high tech innovation efforts from being mainly driven by military needs to being driven by basic research (basic in this case meaning researching the natural world directly without any particular goal other than learning), we'd be a lot better off.

Central park used to be an """urban blighted""" black community that was destroyed IIRC. Really unsavory stuff.

Were they... Were they saying China should join the Iran invasion?

EU is truly backwards. Speak out against genocide? Sanctioned, bank account frozen, arrested. Lay waste to a country without provocation? Polite warning, it's okay if you don't heed us actually we're sorry for bothering you in that case.

This is even more significant when you realize people actually ride the bus there. Yeah your "progressive" Western city might have decent bus ridership compared to other Western cities but it doesn't even come close.

Trains? So you're more than one?

Living the dream.

The Reddit culture of just hating on random people's objectively harmless hobbies/interests/preferences. Think "snark" subreddits and similar. And if you call them out on it suddenly you're the problem.

Channel that hate toward things that actually do harm if anything.

IDK how Jews feel but if someone said calling out war crimes and genocide as anti- my culture/ethnicity, I'd be livid.

I feel old

If I was Iran, I'd close the strait to US/Western traffic FOREVER. Something something don't negotiate with terrorists. And threaten to cut off any country that sells oil to the West, you know, like they're doing with Cuba. Then again I'm definitely not qualified nor have the desire to lead any country, let alone Iran.

Wow, not immediately cashing in on a global crisis to make yourself as rich as possible? Sounds like woke beta commie shit to me.

Lol the capitalist countries who have their own oil, like Canada, might as well not have it as far as their citizens are concerned because the prices are still skyrocketing.

"Hey don't blame us, that's just the market price now. What are we supposed to do? Not cash in on the global resource crisis?"
