I don’t disagree with that.
I guess I was more talking about deciding how I would personally respond, which is something that I can control, and which affects how people around me respond. Grassroots sentiment can’t always be easily stifled by the machine.
I don’t think of them as martyrs so much as beacons. It sounds corny but the concept of corny is also a bourgeois Jedi mind trick to keep people cynical. In this absurd, post-truth, post-sincerity world there are still humans of pure conviction. Even if we wouldn’t go down the same path ourselves we can learn from their refusal to bend
I remember this book being popular a while ago

I will try this thanks
Yes I often find that videos don’t play well if I skip backwards. The audio will play but the image gets stuck on the place I was before skipping back
Quick breakfasts: Granola coconut yoghurt honey and berries for a nice chilled sweet breakfast Instant noodles with whatever veg I have lying around
Slow breakfast: Oats cooked in oat milk with a dollop of peanut butter, jam, and fruit for a warm sweet breakfast
Not vegan: Soft boiled or fried eggs with toast and a drizzle of light soy sauce Crack an egg into the instant noodles
I love breakfast though so can’t relate to not wanting to eat it. I would suggest trying not to rush it and like. Make time for yourself to have it in a relaxed way if that’s possible
Maybe Europeans haven’t forgotten the Iraq war as wholly as the Americans seem to have
Is it real or is it just bluster because Trump is unpopular among the European electorate? I seem to remember them making similar noises when the tariffs came in and then quietly completely capitulating
Thanks for the response friend. Agreed on all points
Sorry but how is that top guy 22. Maybe I’m bad at judging while people’s ages or something but he looks at least 35 to me
Don’t lumber the hardworking fanfic community with these dipshits 😭
Wasn’t expecting much but jeez. At least make the tiniest effort to seem like our “civilised” society punishes the kind of neglect that burns a bunch of people to death
HK has such a strong reactionary element in the culture it’s awful. Especially among like young boomers/Gen X/millennials (not sure what the zoomers are like). An ingrained sense of superiority over the mainland because they used to be more developed due to imperialist investment, but being overtaken by the mainland in development terms hasn’t provoked them to reexamine their mindset, only become more rabidly racist.
The difference in attitude I’m met with when I speak Mandarin and British-accented English there is seriously disheartening.
I used to live in the UK but left before the final reports came out. What remedies did they recommend in the end? Was anyone ever held accountable?
Absolutely horrendous. The population density is so high in HK, with so many old buildings. I hope they managed to evacuate as many as possible
The article implies (but doesn’t actually state) that the plan is based on secret US/Russia talks. Is this actual progress or is it another round of “oops we didn’t actually check whether the Russians would agree”?
Because the “value” of Tesla stocks has no basis in material reality and is only a measure of hype. Tesla is incredibly overvalued. Under “normal” conditions this “should” correct itself as the market realises this (/s because this is idealistic thinking but capitalist economists have deluded themselves into thinking “the market” is somehow a rational actor). But investors don’t care about what a company is actually worth, they care about how much their stocks will be worth; this is based largely on how many institutional investors turn their attention to something and put money in it. Tesla had a lot of hype to begin with because people actually believed their bs and the West doesn’t have another real EV leader, so people assumed that they will have a huge percentage of all EV sales in the future. And Musk’s position with the government means the halo of credibility isn’t going away any time soon
This has got to be satire
I should not have read that while eating breakfast.
May want to add some content warnings?
