It’s possible it was a initially pump and dump that turned into a Saudi funded venture. He’s a useful idiot from the Arabs’ perspective.

Thanks for pointing that out. It’s just so normal to think that way here that they’ve even corrupted me into framing climate change that way. It’s not a left wing topic; it’s a reality.

I just hope young people who are thinking of voting conservative here keep in mind that those assholes literally don’t believe in climate change and by extension science and facts. That alone should automatically disqualify conservatives from anyone’s consideration.

Though it’s only tangentially related to your inquiry, you should check out improvethenews.org

It’s basically what you are looking for but with news stories, though it’s primarily focused American news. It allows you to read the different narratives without actually visiting cancer news sites like Sky news.

This seems like further confirmation of that theory that I saw posted on here that the Saudi oil barons funded Elon’s purchase of Twitter for the sole purpose of destroying it. They want to silence online discussions of climate change and other left wing topics.

Combined with Reddit being owned by Tencent, Facebook being eternally evil, and TikTok being unconducive to any form of coherent dialogue, there are not many places for left wing discourse on the internet anymore.

Great question.

For me it’s homebrewing. It’s so simple yet there is so much disinformation and people encouraging others into following old wives tales that aren’t necessarily proven to do anything.

Also, so many anglophones using imperial measurements it’s ridiculous. Metric makes way more sense especially for volumes.

I’ve had to go through and write my own procedure because it’s just ridiculous otherwise.

Finally, a faithful depiction of Japanese history

Whoa, no need to resort to ugly stereotypes.

I think there are two meanings at play.

Maybe I’m going too deep into this but the part where she says he slapped the back of her can be interpreted as either an act enjoyment (of the sexual kind) or as an act of abuse. I think that line epitomises the theme of the poem, namely that there is a duality in romance. It is a relationship that is both perfect and imperfect, manic and depressing, reasonable and nonsensical.

At least that’s what I got out of it. Thank you for sharing.

That last sentence is amazing. It is a perfect encapsulation of heartbreak and our attempts at love.

It’s so condensed with the way the scenes are edited together with no transitions. It really doesn’t hold your hand with the slang and jargon either.

I watched it last year but I feel like I should rewatch it just to understand it better.

I had really bad panic attacks at some point and I decided the best way to deal with it was to ditch everything in my life and move back in with my parents. It was really shitty for my partner who kept living over while I was basically broken for half a year.

Admittedly though, I was really freaked out because I didn’t know what panic attacks were.
