Abraham Lincoln, also Republican President, was probably the first

Abraham Lincoln, also Republican President, supports this message

In high school, in the late 2000s in South Africa, a TV crew came to our school and we were wondering why. So we were sitting in class and the presenter walked past the door talking to the camera and we heard her say, these kids do not know the danger they are in, for all these classrooms were made out of asbestos. Fun times

They wanted to see if there were any cut corners that could help explain the low cost other than government funding and the general low cost of labour in China. Did not find any cut corners during their teardown and sang the cars praises.

Unfortunately shifting blame to reporting is not correct. In a democracy the people have a duty to inform themselves, unfortunately people choose to rather inform themselves with, how you put it “feeds”. They think because they are hearing the same thing over and over, due to being in an echo chamber, they are informed, nope you just reinforced your biases. But the people have sold their duty to these influencers to do their informing for them in an easily digestible manner that makes them feel safe and reinforced their beliefs.

And also know this is off topic, I am a big believer in libertarianism, in a classical sense, not the US way. And I am curious to see how Milei does, and I also open myself up that I could be wrong with his libertarian ways, I believe the proof is unfortunately in the pudding at the end of the day, did it achieve success or not. Disappointed in the scandals so far but I hope Argentina one day achieves the success it truly deserves, maybe this way or maybe another economic model.

But I find Argentina interesting as a case study for my beliefs, like I said will change if I see Argentina fails.

I think aid from the US was the last thing on their mind. Never have I ever voted for a party because what US, EU, China or any other foreign power threatened.

These midterm elections are usually an indication of how the general population feels the current administration is doing, think of the blue wave during Trump’s first midterm.

Is there any indication that wide spread voter suppression or fraud was happening, not just anecdotal but like verifiable like what happened in Venezuela last year. If not I would say whether you like it or not, that is the crux of democracy, the masses have decided

I think you are reading way too much into it, I was mocked for never kissing kissing someone when I was that age. Kids can be cruel, and I think this episode is just surface level deep. The target audience is young teens - children. I do not expect neon genesis evangelion depth in the writing. But maybe you could be right, but usually the hints are way more subtle, like Peter Parker’s jizzed hands in the first Spiderman movie when he wakes up (big puberty analogy). But, for me, the iCarly episode would make it very disturbing if a Nickelodeon show wanted to make subliminal messaging about sex

Same here, played around, but mint keeps pulling me back in. 10+ years going strong

In South Africa, it is illegal to open carry, unless you are a police officer or security guard. So citizens are required to conceal carry. Yet in the rural areas where I am from, most of the firearm carrying people prefer to open carry, they feel it is a deterrent and easier to reach.

It’s really weird how everyone in America, what I assume we are referring to, wants to conceal carry because the government does not want you to, and here in SA we want to do the opposite because of what the government wants.

PS this is my opinion from personal experience, maybe a lot more are carrying but I do not see them.

Clearly a joke to upset certain people
