The US government banning anything based on suspected use of forced labor is laughable. Pretty blatantly anti-China, and very hypocritical when a lot of US states use glorified slave labor. It is quicker to name the large US companies that don't use prison labor than the ones that do.

That is a horrific endorsement and Dick Cheney is a monster.

I don't think Israel's government cares.

Classic playbook for him and his successive governments: constantly trading human lives for political power and votes.

"TikTok does what every social media company does but this time it's Chinese so it's bad" is what this headline should really say.

The US Army says tampons are fine for patching bullet wounds in an emergency.

This is exactly what I was thinking of. American liberals are almost entirely ignorant of how much violence their government exports -- and especially how much of it is targeted specifically at leftists. Marxists haven't gained power in the US because any time they started to build working-class support they got murdered.

"Electoral politics try not to be just a popularity contest challenge"

Failed for like the 50th time

Not really a surprise; the political establishment of even the Republican party got really sick of Trump during his time in office because of the chaos. He didn't behave like the typical useful idiot President and torpedoed a couple of easy legislative victories by tweeting in rage when they were almost through Congress.

"Marxists have failed to gain power because they think too much" is one hell of a liberal elitist take from the author of this article.

Table tennis is one of those games that takes such an insane amount of finesse. Every time I've tried it I've felt so clumsy. How could anyone think it's easy?

When "we have a right to defend ourselves" is the excuse given for genocide it's completely unreasonable

 

If you need advice that particular kind of DIY, feel free to post here and tag me or DM me directly. Hopefully I can be very helpful to some of you folks who either can't afford to pay expensive mechanics or want to learn on your own.

I work as an independent mobile mechanic in middle Tennessee (for now). My primary work is motorcycles and small engines, but I've done plenty of work on cars too. I used to post quite often on r/fixxit back before I left Reddit.

Pic is an example of my work. That's one of my motorcycles, which I resurrected from the dead. I took that picture while was riding to the small town of Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, to rebuild 4 carburetors for a customer, and in line waiting on a ferry to cross the Ohio river.
