  • Personally I would like it corroborated with bonafide evidence rather than word of mouth of a belligerent party. I’m skeptical, but only for the above. I imagine if there is truth to this that a human rights watch dog will seek the same proof.

    But with that said, I didn’t need a report like that to condemn Hamas for this renewed conflict in the first place. This does absolutely nothing to help the Palestinians and absolutely everything to hurt them. Every way you slice this you just end up with senseless tragedy and loss of life on every side.

    I’m out to defend celebrities as much as I’m out to defend anyone being criticized for family fucking relations my guy. Get over yourself.

    Like holy fucking shit, you’re literally acting as if Chris Farley himself wrote a fucking film in the year of our lord 2023 about Jim Farley. Not a film from *checks notes… 1995 that Jim Farley claims was about his family.

    You don’t need a break from anything but being so holier than thou you feel free to judge people based off of an article based off a tweet.

    It likely didn’t affect cellphones. I know major appliances and vehicles were to be supported no less than 7 years. So I’d guess this just brings cellphones and other electronic items under that umbrella. Makes me wonder what is exempt, though.


  • You can say whatever you want about him, but one thing I’m fairly certain is that at the end of the day Mitt Romney cared about the average American. I’m not saying I agree with even half of his beliefs. But I believe his beliefs were focused on what he thought was best for the country and it’s people. I’m also not saying he didn’t attempt to make himself and those around him stupid rich, but that he wasn’t going to do so by throwing everyone and everything out the window to obtain it. It’s really a stark contrast to Trump. And you might think that’s sad, but what’s really sad is that it’s not just Trump but nearly the entirety of that party now.



  • It’s incredibly disheartening to look back at the relation between the U.S. and Vietnam with the frame starting after the end of WW1. Had Ho Chi Minh been given the time of day it’s easy to wonder what could have been. The Vietnamese simply wished to follow the example that the U.S. had achieved with breaking away from Colonial rule.

    Modern day attitudes really go a long way to show the true character of the Vietnamese. You hear of stories of the Christmas Truce, and opposing sides being relatively friendly after a war concludes, but the Vietnam War feels different. Between the racist dehumanization, war crimes and nature of the war putting civilians directly in crosshairs, you wouldn’t be a fool to think that such a conflict would instill a near permanent hatred on both sides. Yet that doesn’t appear to be the case. The overwhelming theme from anecdotes of meetings between former soldiers from both sides is an incredible sense of understanding and shared loss. And the onus of all of this lies chiefly with the Vietnamese. There’s no reason they should forgive or turn the other cheek considering it wasn’t a war they started, but that’s not a distinction that really seems important to them.

    A country fiercely determined to defend its independence that has thrown off not one, not two, but three separate wars against such independence with each opponent being unarguably more powerful. I can hear an eagle screaming now.

    Besides, this is the same Vietnam who kicked China’s ass in the very same decade that they forced the U.S. out of their country. At this point I wouldn’t bet against the Vietnamese in any conflict if my life depended on it.
