jeffw,

That’s funny, I made a post like 15 minutes ago that talks about the surge in US asylum requests. There’s no easy solution, politically speaking. You’ll get blowback for almost anything, which is part of the reason the US hasn’t had immigration reform in so long.

jeffw,

It just feels like Sudan and South Sudan are doomed to be in forever wars. Such a brutal couple of decades for that region

jeffw,

75 hours? What’s with these rookie numbers?! What happened to the good old days of Chinese sweatshops where people worked 14 hours, 7 days per week? What’s next, unions?!

jeffw,

It’s been a tough conversation since the beginning of the war. The west wants to show support (as we should) but there have obviously been long-standing issues with corruption in Ukraine.

jeffw,

It’s actually a brick of drugs, not a brick for building. You just get them to blow a line

I clicked because I thought it’d be a short ad. I’m not watching a 30 minute video of him attempting to debunk claims that he’s a conspiracy theorist. He is a conspiracy theorist.

jeffw,

Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Commodore Jay Tarriela told a forum there had been “small-scale reclamation” of the Sabina Shoal, which Manila calls Escoda, and that China was “the most probable actor”.

Every little bit of pushback helps ig. Regardless of your opinion on the country, China has certainly been a bully in the South China Sea. The shifting of of the Philippines away from China has been the silver lining on the country electing a dictator’s son.

No this is Patrick

Edit: in retrospect, this might be the most tasteless joke I’ve made on Lemmy

jeffw,

Thanks, I’m on the same moral high ground as Bibi. That makes me feel soooo much better

jeffw,

You can call it useless grandstanding but bills get re-introduced in later sessions all the time. If Trump wins, this sort of thing could become law

jeffw,

Federal funds already can’t be used for abortions, so this is just cruelty

jeffw,

I do not… dare I ask?

jeffw,

And we knew a lot of that BEFORE he got confirmed

jeffw,

I don’t get the joke?

jeffw,

Better late than never. Can you imagine what a Republican would be doing in this situation?

jeffw,

I love how you selectively reply to all my shit and ignore any post where you can’t find a “gotcha!”-style reply

jeffw,

I never hesitated until I hit my late 20s. I thought I was losing it at first lol

jeffw,

I am not a historian nor a scholar on Africa but I thought the genocide was a short lived thing (edit: relative to other genocides, like it lasted a handful of years). Conflict is not necessarily the same as genocide.

Maybe I’m an idiot but I thought the South Sudan independence thing was part of a treaty. Unless that’s unrelated to the Darfur violence?

jeffw,

Interesting! Ig I was thinking of 2003-2005 when I thought about the genocide. I did know about the 2023 stuff but ig I didn’t realize they had a legit govt since 2019

jeffw,

Krugman writes some great stuff for NyTimes… but he linked to his own textbook? That was kinda cringe lol

jeffw,

“Four letter word” is a nice way of saying a curse word (think shit, fuck, etc). So by calling feminism a four letter word, the author is saying that the prison considers feminism a dirty word, basically.

jeffw,

Does your native language not have literary devices?

jeffw,

You’re vastly overestimating the number of TERFs in the world. Assuming you accept their classification as feminists in the first place, I imagine it’s easily under 1% of those who identify as feminists. I have literally never met one irl

jeffw,

Yeah! My more embarrassing take is “that guy who looks like Billy Eichner” lol. But maybe that’s just me who sees the resemblance?

jeffw,

I was under the impression it was an “added bonus” for these people

jeffw,

But did you get handed a job from a rich guy?
