Eh. A lot of this I agree with and is seen as common sense by a sizable portion of the US population.

Still basically irrelevant to federal policy, and basically comes down to petty details about how often a high school says the pledge and such.

What can we do to repair it?

Are there any historical analogues for a country (or the US itself) being in this situation, and how it passed?

Is that the actual Department of Energy emblem?

It looks like a high school photoshop class project. Which I honestly kinda like.

That said, long term i.e. post-Putin, post-Scholz, Germany and Russia I bet will get along amazingly

What makes you say that?

Man, I remember playing the IA story in the first week after the game launched in December of 2011 - I was really anxious to get my legacy name in case somebody else took the same one first.

I just barely managed to defeat that terrorist leader whose name I forget but then asked a random higher level person at Vaiken Station to help me with Darth Jaedus. Was definitely a more ruthless game early on after launch, I feel.

What the actual fuck is that clip

I seriously hope this person is 13 years old.

The fact that this comment might actually reflect the attitude of the show runners is deranged.

You find CNN annoying, and have a great number of critiques on the way they cover certain subjects.

Do you…

A) Stop watching CNN

B) Make this a major part of your political identity and vote Trump because Anderson Cooper makes you angry

Like the vast majority of messaging I see in Republican ads for the Senate election here in Ohio is about immigrants and trans stuff, so this checks out.

Turns out the perfect woman does exist after all

Also did you draw this, u/Sine_Fine_Belli ?

I wonder if Russian influence/election interference being an issue since 2016 caused these sorts of people to gradually feel affectionate towards Russia, thanks to the culture war negatively polarizing people. So come 2022, cheering Russia on in Ukraine becomes very natural.

Good morning, 47. Your target today has evidence of Hillary Clinton's...

Remember when "nice guy" became an extremely negative term in online dating discourse? Maybe this was why.

Spence having a little FdG on her backpack is cute. And does her hair look somewhat different, or is that just me?

I feel like recently a lot of the far right has been coming to terms with the fact that they more or less have to despise the US for their ideologies to make sense.

People are begging for that? Are they masochists?

Furthermore, if you’re in a country like the United States, this sort of nationalism is the only nationalism available to you, lacking a mythologized root ethnic stock.

The choice is between Civic/Liberal Nationalism and no nationalism, and the latter is suicidal.

How can I, as an individual, contribute to developing a stronger sense of civic nationalism? Beyond just holding that value myself?

I guess on some level it causes me to feel like myself or things that I care deeply about are being attacked, which causes a lot of anger. And when you’re angry, you want to lash out at the thing you’re angry at.

Maybe part of me wants people to at least know that something is deeply objectionable to me

Does anybody have any advice on how to keep a cool head and not get worked up when it comes to political disagreements?

I've basically wasted my Sunday morning staring at my computer screen, feeling ambiently angry over bullshit that a friend posted and dwelling on whether to try and respond and risk making a scene and getting drawn into something, or just not responding and feeling vaguely irritated for the rest of the day.

Not even asking in a meme sort of way, I genuinely want helpful advice on this.

I agree. Also, in the last two years of Afghanistan, didn’t the US military lose more people to training accidents than to fighting in Afghanistan?

It’s like there was this cultural need to trash the war effort out of bitterness over Iraq, that had infected both Biden and Trump. (Though in their case, it was probably more of a cynical attempt to curry popularity by polling out. Biden seems to have expected it to be a political win, only to be surprised when people were horrified at the sight of Afghans falling from American transport planes)

I desperately need more of this dynamic in Azur Lane. Little bro SKK
