If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?
Short term stability for sure, but I don’t think Russia has been able to provide any more long term stability to anyone better than the US can. China maybe, but we haven’t really seen this version of China show their true colors to a nation they don’t consider part of their original borders.
I don’t think it’s so much about US having soft power over China. I agree they have always been highly resistant to it. The important bit is that Chinas soft power is growing faster than probably any nation’s has since post WW2 US while US hemorrhages what little they have left in the coffers.
I don’t present this as a good thing uniformly, because China is certainly capable of becoming fascist in a single generation too. I think this sort of power in general is problematic.
This guy is very well known already for car audio builds, but this video in particular was nice to have when I thought I destroyed a brand new Focal 165ES K2 speaker. Never gasped so loud in my life as I saw that screwdriver slip straight through the surround.

I found this series useful when getting into DC electronics. He takes topics very slowly and thoroughly. He’s also got a series on oscilloscopes and a more advanced multimeter feature breakdown.
Most of the time you see a fascist scared of something it’s because it’s exactly what they’ve already or are working towards themselves.
Not really looked down on, but every time I mention that I have an indoor greenhouse everyone assumes I’m growing pot.
This was the Mexican army, not US
The highlands in Scotland. Beautiful in their entirety.
Pictures don’t do it justice, I’d recommend a guided tour. Also you get to feed highland cows. They’re all pets btw. This is Honey.
I’m not qualified, but something that might aid in your efforts is focusing on the flaws inherent in getting fulfillment from other people and the cycle of misery it can bring when it doesn’t pan out exactly as you intended. See: codependency. Obviously don’t phrase this like you won’t be there for them, but more just that they need to be there for themself too.
Never done this, except cybersex. I didn’t know her husband, but I knew he was her husband and we all played an mmo together. I convinced myself that he knew and didn’t consider it cheating. Then she kept venting to me about what a bad father he was for their kid and I slowly faced the fact that she wouldn’t be trying to convince me he was bad if he knew, so I told her to keep it nonsexual from now on and she quickly moved on to another player I knew. It doesn’t feel good, especially in hindsight. If you’re ever in that position you’ll feel better in the end not kicking the person while they’re down.
Harder for me to raise it than lower it, but I do a version of this every night before bed. “None of these thoughts can’t be picked up tomorrow, everything is made better by getting sleep right now, so no further thoughts allowed.” Can usually drop it to near sleep bpm.
I prefer Samsung UI, but Xiaomi is very tough to beat on performance per dollar. Huawei if you trust em.
It’s just chatgpt with sessions as far as I’m aware. It’s as private as the information you give it within one session.
Don’t confuse US consequences for EU consequences. It’s pretty well accepted that Americans receive more protections from companies as a result of EU legal cases than our own FTC and FCC.
Yes, this account is posting old news and AI slop advertisements. Also their post violates rule 1 and will be swiftly removed.
2.2 was released in late 2023. This account is posting old crap
This is an AI slop advertisement widely shown using a variety of celebrities, ironically including Clint Eastwood, who’s a nutjob.
Same, I struggle with posting before reading on the phone especially. My confidence despite only being 10% as accurate on the phone is exactly the same after finishing typing on the phone.
About twice a comment on my phone and about once every 5 comments on the computer.
Reminder for Israelis that fascism cannot exist without an out group. The moment it stops being possible to invade those around them they will invade the homes of those they target next. All of this talk about LGBTQ rights from zionist libs is going to dry up faster than Ben Shapiro’s wife (who is a doctor).
