111·7 months agoClose. He died on 4/30, he was born on 4/20. But there were many deaths at Columbine High School on 4/20/1999.
52·7 months agoProblem drinking and alcoholism aren’t the same though. 9 out of 10 excessive drinkers aren’t alcohol dependent. So yeah, while many people who at some point have a problem with drinking can learn to moderate without future issues, I don’t know if most of them would fall into the alcohol dependency category.
When I replied, you didn’t have all of that info in there. Good for you though, if it works then great!
Yeah I’m going to have to agree. I’m an alcoholic myself and this is a problematic way of living with it. Moderation seldom works for alcoholics as it is and by putting your choice to drink on someone else’s offerings seems to just be a way to escape any blame should it end in full relapse.
Everybody’s journey is different though so I’m not going to judge. But at no point was I able to stop drinking until I straight stopped drinking. As they say “one drink is too much and a hundred isn’t enough.”
“Hard lemonade could mean anything.”
They have signs up listing how much caffeine is in them, which by the way, isn’t legally mandated. The only requirement the FDA has on caffeine labeling is that it’s listed as an ingredient. That’s it. The amount of caffeine doesn’t have to be disclosed.
So if the amount of caffeine is known, what more do they need to do before it becomes the consumer’s responsibility? Your argument is that it’s dangerous, but alcohol is much more dangerous than what is known from the surgeon General warning, and its dangerous to those not consuming it as well.
You can’t treat it different because of the novelty of the item, in which case maybe the FDA needs to mandate all drugs to have warning labels, not just OTC and alcohol.
Alcohol has warning labels on it, why are bars allowed to exist?

Don’t forget a charger, otherwise you’ll be screwed for awhile
Reality is covid changed the way they did it, that and many stores closing on Thanksgiving. Then they realized they could still make a similar amount of money with less risk to people and property. And with digital retail becoming more popular they’ll lose less product to theft and damages if you ship from a warehouse or have a personal shopper get it for you and bring it to your car instead of going into an overcrowded store.
Employees are less stressed, everyone is safer, and sales numbers are the same or better.
113·8 months agoCounter argument, Russian interference and political undermining has a direct and indirect influence on global politics.
“Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.”
That’s a funny way to say “murder”…
Good catch, I didn’t even notice the percentages. I did look at the date but of course the meal was purchased on the one day this month where that’s not helpful
Let’s see… dollar sign? Well that cuts out a lot of the world. Written in English, so that leaves about 3 countries. Australia doesn’t have a tipping culture the same way we do in North America so that leaves either Canada or the US, in which case you can replace state with province and cover your bases.
141·9 months agoWhy did Israeli police do nothing to stop the increasing violence perpetrated by illegal Israeli Settlers attacking Palestinians, of which Palestinian police are forbidden to react to? Their cops aren’t allowed to do anything, their illegal occupants cops won’t do anything, and the majority of Israeli Jews say they dont want Palestinians to have the right to vote if they annex Gaza. A minority of Israelis support a two state solution.
It’s not like Israel has been trying to play ball with them.
I’m seeing between 3 and 6 killed reported by the Independent, Al Jazeera, and others that I havent heard of before mostly citing Comittee to Protect Journalists. Mohammad Salhi is the only one that I can see is definitely confirmed.

The problem is that there are no other sources on this. All the articles I’ve read through cite i24 or the IDF who only have soldier accounts of what was seen, but no soldiers named.
One of the articles mentioned multiple journalists being there yet i24 is the only one talking about it. i24 is also based in Tel Aviv.
Until separate accounts or physical evidence comes out, this can’t be taken as the whole truth. Too many red flags.
By that thought process, wouldn’t these people more likely to have their hidden phone discovered by spontaneous Amber Alerts? Those come with no warning, whereas the NAS did come with a heads up.
They took a holiday about an Italian who had nothing to do with the US much like that man took indigenous people prisoners? That’s what didn’t sit right with you? So weird to think an Italian funded by the Spanish was somehow important enough to a country that didn’t exist for another 300 years that the government made it a federal holiday.
More time passed between him erroneously finding the Americas and the signing of the Declaration of Independence than the US has even been around.
Propaganda does not have to have a hidden agenda. Literally the “I want you” uncle Sam poster is propaganda. That agenda was pretty obvious, there was no question who was behind it and it was pretty clear why it was commissioned in the first place.
There has been propaganda encouraging car-pooling, reusing materials, conserving electricity, promoting employment etc, and many of them even had credits as to who the message was coming from.
Propaganda is not inherently evil, but it’s important to understand the context and where it’s coming from.
