It is indeed quite odd that the Dominican Republic is (I think?) the most prosperous Caribbean nation when the country right next door is a total garbage fire. I wonder why that is? I'm sure it's not anything to do with demographic makeups or anything verboten to discuss. It must just be a weird coincidence
No, the why is that OPEC's decision hits Biden in multiple ways.
-
Increases gas prices in the US a month out from an election - bad news for the party in power (and makes Biden's increased draining of the strategic petroleum reserve even more of a waste)
-
Helps Russia some, because they can now keep selling their oil to other countries at a higher price, thus keeping their economy going
-
Is a diplomatic snub to the US and the EU, both as their own energy sectors continue to have massive inflation due to their stupid domestic policies and as they keep begging people to sanction Russia.
and probably more reasons.
Basically, the Saudis told Biden "**** off, grandpa, we don't want to listen to you anymore, we'll do what we want", and now Biden is on the porch yelling at the Saudis to get off his lawn.
Primarying them out has been working some on paper. The real test will be, though, what happens if/when republicans get back in power. Am I optimistic? No. But it is possible and a better option than another 2 years of unrestrained Brandonism
Yes, but it's also a sign of Wokeness. Up until 20 years ago, it was BC/AD, but in the early 2000s proto-Wokies (for lack of a better term) started insisting it be written as BCE/CE since BC/AD (even though it is exactly the same dating system) might offend non-Christians.

Sorry, but the court decision is a good thing. Canceling someone's talk (even when it is a miserable, pointless talk lie listening to Julie Bindel talking about "feminist campaigning against male violence") just because some random people start whining about their feelings being hurt is wrong. Full stop.
The only injustice in this is that I highly doubt that this will be used as a legal precedent to stop the UK police arresting people because they said mean words on Twitter. Which it should be, but I doubt the double standard is going away anytime soon.
Ownership issues aside, the Wayback Machine has on multiple occasions pulled down archives of pages that people found ... inconvenient. While it is still somewhat useful, any archive that removes content when people ask them to inherently untrustworthy.
Hammer previously won the Martin Luther King, Jr. New Hampshire state award for anti-racism in schools in 2000 and is the co-founder of People Against Racism in Education.
And the cannibalism continues. Trannies insist they need to run everything.
Well, given that the early impressions of Overwatch 2 are that they just made it Generic Team Shooter(tm), and their monetization scheme is infuriating a lot of the fanbase, surely only this Stunning(tm) and Brave(tm) move will get the game back on track.
I was thinking Rafał Gan-Ganowicz. Supposedly someone asked him once what it was like to take a human life. His response is the first one on the list here
"windows are not people, they can't be attacked."
a) Well, let's smash your iphone then. It's not a person, so there's nothing wrong with it!
b) There was a certain Polish mercenary you people should read about before you keep going down that line of logic, because you keep making people sympathize with a quote of his more and more.
So, she's going to be dreaming about hooking up with an endless string of princesses then?
