It’s crazy that all you have to do is be perceived to be more charismatic and competent than Liz Truss and Rishi fucking Sunak, and Starmer only just cleared that low, low bar. This might be hell.

In basic terms: too left for the right, too right for the left. He appears to have pulled the Labour party more centre-right and abandoned a lot of the socialist and soc-dem positions for more neoliberal policies (though people have varying opinions if it’s actually true.) That has made a lot of people unhappy, leading to a surge of Reform UK (the ultra-right party) and the Green Party (the left, environmental focused party). You can see the current trends in this Wikipedia article as well as the other parties in play.


If it gets to a point where Jews are leaving your country to escape antisemitic violence, who’s the monsters?
LMAO, the people who leave are getting discounted houses/free land stolen from LIVING families who are now homeless. There are so many fucking reports, documentaries, and interviews about this, spanning back to the 19-fucking-70s. The Nakba is a real historically analyzed event. Fucking Helen Mirren has a quote about what she saw:
Mirren said of her experience in Israel at that time:
I witnessed things that were wrong. I witnessed Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here.
Who’s the monster? Look in the mirror, “space cowboy”. From a Canadian instance no less: you exist in a server on stolen treaty land, and you’re support other’s land getting stolen. What else is new.


It’s so blatant too, for anyone with half a brain. We’re part of 5 Eyes, there’s like 97 data centres being built or already in the late stages of approval here, and all of our internet traffic is controlled by 3 mega ISPs in moustache and glasses. We’re already being tracked pretty thoroughly. Conservatives or Liberals, it doesn’t matter when it comes to selling Canadians off to foreign corporate entities.


How is this better???


Some would argue these immigrants were the formally wealthy class fleeing the revolution, and that was initially true. But that was just over 60 years ago now. This doesn’t explain modern asylum seekers very well
To be fair I think a lot of Cuba’s struggles and failures are a direct result of decades of US embargo and interference.
This I can agree with. I don’t think Cuba is like…HEAVEN for people living there, by the way. But I also disagree that it was an “absolute hellscape” before the Trump Admin 1.0 came in and destroyed any forward momentum the Obama administration created towards fully lifting the embargoes, and I don’t think (as far as I know) the Biden administration did as much to reverse them. The last 12 years is really what has cemented the hardships in Cuba (and Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Nicaragua etc) are suffering from, and this is reflected in the stories of the (non-American) Cubans I hear from daily around me.
Then you have fuckers like Rubio pushing for taking over Cuba “for their own good” and to “save the country” and like… I’m sorry if I feel like residual bitterness of my Cuban friends and family towards American Cubans pushing this narrative colour my view.


Thanks!
Guess I’m gonna keep on my plan of keeping an eye on the used market and hoping for honest gamers who don’t mark up their 2nd hand GPUs


I know many Canadian-Cubans that visit family and have families that visit Canada no problem.
Love how you ignored this part and focused on whatever was beneficial for propping up your worldview


It’s not just in-bound tourism, I probably made the mistake of emphasizing the cruises. Notice I said that Cubans from outside of America were able to travel to visit family, and vice-versa. If it was such a hellscape, why would people choose to travel back to Cuba after leaving?


You realize the rest of the world has been able to freely travel to Cuba and come back safe and sound since the 60s, right? Like…
We have been suffering the 42 years I’ve been alive […] It’s the kind of hell you risk anything to escape!
??? How the fuck do 4.7 million people visit/year on cruise ships and air planes if Cuba is suffering? I know many Canadian-Cubans that visit family and have families that visit Canada no problem.
Americans believe so much bullshit propaganda about our country
Yeah, and you’re literally one of them lmao


It’s on Meta’s chatboard, not anywhere public. I saw people on Blind discussing it, if you have access there.


Idk how people think China is communist when they have for-profit hospitals, that’s like one of the biggest no-nos in communism lol.
Even the public hospitals are incentivized towards profit optimizing through over-prescription of medication (or useless stuff like homeopathy) in my experience. But last time I went through Chinese healthcare was all the way back in 2017, so things may have improved now (but I doubt it.)


Isn’t Nvidia only bumping up the price of the 5090s? Or is there an update to that?


Praying for our cars to survive at least another 15 years, bud 🙏


Naaaaah, my 2016 RAV4 Hybrid is balling. Back up camera, 360 sensors, remote start, heated seats, medium screen with buttons and knobs instead of touch, push start, stick shift, and the best part: no wifi on-board (through my phone only). Cars peaked right here.


Was it Bush, or was it good ol’ Dick wanting an excuse to go into the oil desert again?


Not to defend Dementia Donnie here…but as a New Yorker, he probably knows them as bodegas?
Also fuck him, ofc poor people don’t know deductions. We can’t show 0 income while hiding our assets like his island friends.
Israeli Jews are mostly European and Americans, you can look up the census.
Israel was created as a way for Europe to not give the European Jewish people their land, wealth, language and influence back in Europe after CENTURIES of oppression. But yeah, it’s the Muslim’s fault. You don’t even understand your own history at this point, you just want to hate Muslims, even when majority Catholic countries like Spain are calling out Israel.
LMAO rich coming from someone who is defending a country that was apparently promised to a group of people THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO. Check your own hypocrisy.
Post stats. Back up your statement. If you’re going to call the Jews in Israel refusing to serve under the IDF when they are attacking civilians in Gaza and Lebanon anti-semetic, back up your statement. If you’re going to call the Jews around the world speaking up and saying that Israel should stop bombing children and civilians, back up your statement about them being anti-semites. If you’re going to defend an environmentalist getting bombed in Lebanon because she didn’t want to leave her conservation work, back up your statements about why she deserved to die.
And if you live in Canada, here’s the police stats about hate crimes there. It’s not 2/3’s btw, because anti-Islam hatecrime is also up there in the numbers, and so is anti-Asian.
It’s hilarious that you say I live in an anti-semetic bubble, when the evidence actually points to YOU living in one. I’m glad others also called you out on it.
