Yeah I don’t think the people in the article are happy with that comparison at all. People are currently unable to find work.

my guy, smeagol was living in a cave because of the ring… i don’t think the ring connected to a chain link will change a thing, especailly if it’s wearable lol.

Yeah that’s what kept coming to mind: All these people are The Guardian readers so they probably already dislike Trump and likely blame him for this loss of benefits.
I would have liked to see The Guardian interview actual Trump voters to see what they feel about things.

The upsides are that trump and his cabal are idiots. Yeah they do have a lot of resources, and power, but they don’t know how to wield it well, or they let their egos makes important decisions.

Will we come back from this? Idk, but their stupidity will be our only saving grace.

very true. Compare this, to what’s happening in the Fed; Trump is having issues removing multiple figures and being challenged in court.
If we come back from this, we need to codify so many more rules and create significantly more independent bodies so another Republican doesn’t do this shit again.

I believe the quote is, “and then everything got worse”

Yeah idk why you’re upvoted, unless I’m missing something. The articles you linked(could only read the first as the 2nd is behind a paywall) only talk about how much slower NPRs coverage may become due to the backstops. Nothing implies that they have become unreliable news.

I’m unconvinced that NPR is unreliable based on your info. I listen to their planet money, the 1A, and the indicator broadcasts. The 1A especially has recently been openly and bluntly criticizing the fascists movements of Trump/Republicans. The indicator and planet money are more economics focused (rather than politically focused than 1A ) but even they will criticize Republican actions if it doesn’t align with economic theories.

NPR? BBC? I’m confused by this meme now…

I think i can get to 40ish words. I mean i have a whole day to focus on remembering the words, and it’s not ridiculously hard since its only 1 additional word per day, while the rest remain the same. It seems if I do make it to 40 words, i would have earned 666,000.00 USD which is pretty amazing. here’s table of the first 10 words:

Day | Cash per day	| Number of words |	cumulative earned
1	1,000.00	         5	           1,000.00
2	2,000.00	         6	           3,000.00
3	3,000.00	         7	           6,000.00
4	4,000.00	         8	          10,000.00
5	5,000.00	         9	          15,000.00
6	6,000.00	         10	          21,000.00

idk, slightly strange. But IDK if we have all the details yet. my understanding is that he shot into a van owned by ICE/Labelled ICE. I can imagine he may have thought there were ICE agents inside. I haven’t heard of any evidence that the the rounds were fabricated with false evidence.

My understanding is this is essentially a hotly fought over area, or nearby a contentious area. That’s why there’s so many cables going through here:all the drones that were flown past this area.

Kane noted that academic declines are appearing in other countries as well, which suggests a broader global trend that could be linked to increased screen use.

From the article as well. So the pandemic definitely didn’t help, but they also don’t feel it is only because of that. The article also mentions that the decline started since before the pandemic as well.

Idk the retraction is pretty honest. Not to mention, that source may have said things originally, and not wanted to continue to say those same things afterwards for any number of reasons(they were lies or even, they don’t feel comfortable being publicized)

I’m assuming they found other rounds that were engraved.

So it seems you’re trying to say that some of new week’s articles may not be of high quality so we shouldn’t dismiss them as a reliable news source. I feel like that’s a very low bar for a news source in a world with a lot of fake news, that ultimately makes Newsweek unreliable.

It still feels like that’s crossing a boundary, i don’t know how you feel about that. I do recommend practicing socializing. Go to bars, events, etc. and just try to make conversation with people. Yeah you may start off being awkward, but you’ll get more comfortable as you practice.

yeah embarrassed for your dad. “evolve” wtf. this is too little context, but this can range from your dad genuinely caring about you(“complain you’re unable to find girls”) but the execution isn’t great, to just wanting to push you into doing certain things. This definitely requires a conversation with your dad about boundaries.

On another note, if you are trying to find people to date, you should figure why things aren’t working there, and see how you can improve your chances ( are you well kept? are you comfortable talking to new people? do you expose yourself to new people in order to both meet new people and also practice talking to new people? )

lol i think that makes it even more hilarious. Trump likes to also compliment himself in his statements, so its par for the course in mimicking him.

Thanks for all the info. He talks about learning about Nvidia in the past, and mentions talking about breaking it up. That doesn’t sound like a business man talking about getting involved in the company, or competing against it, that sounds like a politician wanting to address a very strong company. Trump has only been a politician for the past 9 years. So Trump just found out about the largest chip designer in the world 9 years ago… That seems absurd to me.

Not sure where you live, but look for hiking date events, bars with single nights, etc. Usually more guys which is great for you. The few I’ve ever gone to were very casual and fun and I’ve made some cool friends.
