It’s not enough, the math doesn’t make sense. 18 years of foods, diapers, creches, outings, gifts, hobbies, clothes, housing and education? Just to produce a another slave for profit? Nope. Get kittens or puppies if you can afford them. If not, look at pics.
Talk for yourself. When you’re healthy AND lucky, yes life in the the West is maybe easy. But the minute you get disabled, you’re being systematically pushed into poverty. And despite saying free healthcare to pester Americans, we all know it’s not ‘free.’
The latest dentist I called asked me to transfer 400€ before I even got an appointment. So stop pushing this narrative that life’s too easy. Maybe for you.
TIL I’m ALL 4B’s.
I live in Europe: rice, beans, lentils, meat and vegetables are way too expensive here. Eggs were okay until the pandemic hit and prices went up. Now they’ve come down a little and I can afford them again. That and cheese is my stock now. Pasta is okay, but I can’t eat much of it every day because it really fattens me up.
Talk for yourself. With my luck, they’ll find a way to prolong my life to 120 years.
At this point, I don’t care anymore. We’re effed anyway, there is no future for us… Even when aliens landed and took over the world it wouldn’t surprise me. Maybe they’ll do a better job.
Even thrifting is expensive now. The truth is, there’s nowhere to cut and that’s why it’s hurting so many people.
Rice is also expensive. My go to is bread and butter/margarine.
I guess we have to reinvent the guillotine, version 2024. History will talk about let them eat cornflakes. It’s so ridiculous because cornflakes here is more expensive than a loaf of bread.
I want the same advice, but for cat parents without kids.
He’s grooming your mom and now your mom is ‘grooming’/readying her entire family, so he can run away from his situation in his home country and start again. The question is this: why is he running away? He has a roof over his head, he’s an adult, his aunt is forcing him to study so he can get a decent job?
Sorry this is ridiculous, he just thinks he wants an easier life and sees your mom as a way to get it. If he gets into your home, he won’t be getting a job, he’ll be playing games all day and eating food and doing nothing. Because that’s what he wants, to be taken care of.
I’m all for giving people opportunities, but this guy has no plan, beyond living with your mom. Also, again, he’s not a ‘kid.’ He’s an adult, let him figure things out for himself, or else he’ll always look for the easiest solutions and be a major problem for your family. Yes, he’s scamming your mom. Show her alle these responses and tell her to grow up and protect her kids lika an adult should do.
Take a tortilla wrap, put a slice of gouda young cheese in it, wrap like a wrap, 40 seconds in microwave et voila! Hot pocket and filling meal.
Maybe AFTER there is legitimate proof provided, verified by independent outside sources instead of just ‘IDF says.’ Nothing they say after the last month of indiscriminate killings will be believed. They’re met with the same kind of criticism and disdain the Hamas military brigades get.
Even then, patients and civilians still have the right to be evacuated in a humane way and timespan.
Israel knows it’s a war crime but they try to use a loophole by crying out about Hamas tunnels etc.
Under international humanitarian law, hospitals and other medical facilities are considered to be protected civilian objects. Unless they are used for military purposes, they shall be protected at all times and may not be the object of attack.
So that’s why they’re so happy to show us some 9 rusty old weapons. Witnesses say they stripped and tortured 9 men already inside the hospital… I wanna make a bet here they found shit and are now torturing people to find shit. They blacked out communications so they even dig those tunnels themselves to show us for all we know.
Also I would like to point out that they don’t allow outside sources in to confirm, investigate or even verify all their claims. So it’s not true until they do that for me personally. I don’t care what Daniel from IDF ‘claims’, I want it verified by unbiased sources.
Mark my words, history will remember this. We can practically watch it live with social media and so on. Wars are different now, since Ukraine. So it hits closer home.
Martha Wells and her Murderbot series is hilarious. It really made me laugh out loud and I read every book back to back.
It’s about a robot that thinks he’s a psychopath and a murderer, who hacked his own circuits so he can pirate TV shows and watch them while on missions.
I won’t tell more, just read.
It’s money. They even throw money at influencers now to stop covering Palestinian stories so their genocide can go unrecorded.
They lobbied the US government and military for years and Trumpers see them as the perfect apartheid state and a handbook on how to go forward without anyone who isn’t white or (fake/their version of) Christian basically. Although ironically, they also hate them for being Jewish, but drool at their tech and arms.
Europe is terrified for their Jewish civilians and the optics of not supporting them after WWII. Once Israel went too far, they tried to be levelheaded, but it didn’t work/worked partially.
In the long run, Europe is getting shafted again. They have to keep the peace between their Muslim, Jewish civilians AND their own Nazi extremists.
Terrorism will rise again on all sides and they can’t just shoot innocent people like the US.
Let’s face it. Europe is not the answer to anything that’s not 3 feet away from them. They even have a saying: a-far-from-my-bed-show. They will do just the minimum for optics.
But hey, US gets to play war again huh?
It’s more complicated than that obviously. But I just got up.
I truly believe Israel did the hit, and the narrative is being shifted around now because they knew they went too far and international backlash might not be in their favour. We’ll find out eventually.
It’s not about plausibility anymore, they want to turn Gaza into a parking lot, these people are talking about mowing the grass every few years so that explains why the majority of Palestinians is underage.
But you’re right, I might be biased. Both sides have extremist that are willing to do anything for their cause, but one side has been pushed to the brink with no way out. I’m really not surprised this breeds terrorists/freedom fighters who’d rather die than live like a dog.
I can only think about the civilians on both sides that died. Children are dying and the next generation of terrorists/freedom fighters/orthodox extremists are being made right as we speak. This cycle of violence has no end.
And nobody even mentions the hostages anymore. It’s kids paying the price while old white men talk and talk.
I’m really emotional so not a good place to speak from, and will be reading and following less news the coming weeks, just for my mental health. I don’t want to live in this world anymore.
Haha, really good source, read their blogs and you can see why and how they’re trying to shift the narrative.
As a European, I don’t believe anything the US says anymore. Not after decades of deception and disinformation from them.
I swear these people just want war. How do you think Putin’s going to react to that? France and Germany have been pushing too hard for my liking to beef up weapons manufacturing. It’s as if someone told them war=profits and rebuilding afterwards=profits and a nice way to get rid of an entire generation of problems.
Maybe someone should thell them the current generation isn’t ready to mindlessly throw their lives away for these aholes. Or you know do your effing job and be a diplomat?
