The buddy system is flawed and fascist. If your buddy walks off a cliff do you go with them? By the rules of the buddy system you do. If your buddy commits genocide do you go along with it? The buddy system says yes. And what about a double homicide? If both buddies die in the woods and no other buddies are there to witness it was there a crime?
NO! If you or someone you know suffered irreparable harm thanks to the so called “buddy system” call AdamEatsAss today. A class action lawsuit is being filed against the deep buddy state cabal and we need more victims to step forward. If your buddy forced you to smuggle illegal goods inside your body, call us. If your buddy forced you to overthrow a democratically elected government in the developing world, call us. If your buddy forced you to act on a plan to steal the moon using a shrink ray, call us. We will not stop fighting until the buddy system is no more.
FUCKCARS. NYC is on of the few places in the USA where you can live 100% car free. The idea that people are willingly driving into Manhattan to go to a restaurant is 100% fabricated by people who have never tried to drive into Manhattan. It is not a place for driving it is a place for transit and walking.
People are pissed off brother! /s It is a concerning trend, but I think social media and the need for inflammatory news headlines have driven a lot of these ideas into the open. I think racism, xenophobia, and blind nationalism has always been everywhere and we have given a way for some of the more racist/crazy/extreme people to speak out. It just shows us how much we still have to grow as a society.

Israel is viewed as a force of western democracy in the middle east. If Israel went away other democracies would lose a local nation wiling to help them fight terror organizations in the region. From a day to day perspective as someone who lives on the other side of the world and is not Jewish it doesn’t affect me much. I think supporters of Israel have really failed to clearly covey the reasons they have for supporting their actions, while those opposed have a significantly easier time. The idea that “the government knows best so just go with it” is old and does not resonate with young voters or minorities.
Freedom of speach or something like that. Who knows, the supreme Court has shown me a few times that I have no understanding of what is constitutional.
A wild time to be a a citizen of the USA. No matter what the verdict is I expect large portions of the US to announce it was rigged somehow. And all because trump couldn’t just jerk it to porn like normal people.
It’s almost like China is looking at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Israel’s invasion of Gaza and thinking “other countries will get upset, but no one will actively fight against us.”

“President Biden has scheduled multiple meetings with Washington’s top memory and speach specialists prior to the event. While former president Trump has scheduled meetings with Washington’s top sleep and memory specialists. Two very different strategies here, possibly denoting the drastic age difference between the two.”

Helicopters are 100% death traps. They are very sensitive to up/down drafts often found in mountain terrain. They have no ability to glide like a plane in the event of an engine failure. If they’re not pressurized/o2 equipped they have a maximum altitude which quickly becomes an issue when you are already in the thin air of a mountain.
“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”
Send him to some random drug test place like they do for a job interview. Those nurses won’t take shit from anyone. “Oh you accidentally flushed the toilet after peeing in the cup, guess you’re coming back tomorrow.”
Yes it is. Many companies require a drug screening for illegal substances. It’s often unclear what they’re testing for or what would prevent you from getting hired and what is a violation of your rights. Most people need a job so they put with with it. But there are numerous companies that all they do is these drug screening.

Yeah the USA should have helped fix the Israel/Palestine issue like decades ago. I just read in another post that it’s in USA law to stop funding for the UN if Palestine is made a member. Like why? The USA has been the yes man to Israel for so long it’s like we don’t know how to say no.
Bobby Seale was bound and physically gagged during the trail of the Chicago 7. Of course he was a black man in the late 60s. So I guess it’s just those who are already disadvantaged.
