the problem with rhetoric like this- it forgets that they (tyrants/dictators) continue to find power.. you set yourself up for even greater despondancy when you start to believe: IT SHOULD BE SO EASY, but it just isn't.
mind you, 3.5 percent of a population is no small feat-- but another message you can falsely intuit in the vapors of this claim: oh well, no big deal then, we can afford to wait until things start to REALLY get bad...
real political change is a long hard road and this sentiment gives people an out- its not a stretch to imagin someone reading this and coming to the conclusion that they can afford to sit on the sideline and let the magic 3.5 percent come and save them...
write it down and read it the next day- usually works for me, hope this helps!
the images didn't load before-- in any case, tugging heartstrings and showing vulnerability are endearing for a certain audience.
that means i've reached my biannual quota of hilarious comments-- and so soon into 2025, see you in 2027 lemmy! 👋 (me realizing biannual is twice a year.. its too late)
well probably because you're looking at pages of fans of kids shows. now, i'm not saying they're all children, but.. i mean...
if they need to collect and sell my info its paywalled for me.
your takeaway is a lot different from mine: here i'm thinking, how useless must this this katie whittington be.. LOL 9+k votes (total) between them. 14 percent of the district voted in this special election. tell us again how its IMPOSSIBLE kamala lost her swing states in the general presidential election.
'nearby' ... speaking of relativity.
my guy looks a little like mona lisa with similar ambiguity of expression. no matter where you stand in the room, he thinks you're palestinian.
"divided into three groups. One received a referral to addiction-treatment services outside the hospital. Another group received a similar referral, along with a brief counseling session at the hospital. And a third group received both the referral and the counseling while also starting on buprenorphine, taken daily as a tablet. After a month, this last cohort was about twice as likely as the other two groups to remain in treatment."
... the category that implemented the most support was the most effective, who could've guessed.. i like how its a white collar guy asking his doctor for something and being granted it.. i bet it doesn't go that way every time-- just a hunch- this buprenorphine is probably not covered by your insurance
just the perfect time to reach the end of the sample and hit a paywall, thanks nytimes.
low class people in a high class place ouuuaaiis
i swear to odin, grymslaw, if you don't sit down i'll put my sword through the bottom of this boat and sink us both... don't test me on this
author complains about having to repeat himself in his ranting over and over again, 2/10
read this if you like angry people yelling at you.... tons of bold, italics, underlines, and even the occasional ALL CAPS
my favorite part: 1. Shut the fuck up!
pi 1998 by darren aronofsky.. obsession, paranoia, gaslighting, pattern seeking.. maybe visually jarring for its high-contrast b/w but lends itself to the texture of delusional clarity. story of a man whose independent research yields some numerical anomaly and he becomes driven by the need to re-create this outcome.
"One of the key objectives of USAID funding is to buy media support for the US-supported Ukraine war effort. The agency funded nine out of ten media outlets in Ukraine until the Trump administration turned off the tap earlier this month."
you ever see anyone with coffee on their crotch, its fairly safe to assume they can't read.
