I wouldn’t be surprised if every past president has had files like this in their homes

This is news now? I thought we all knew this already. Are people living under a rock?

Exactly, and I think that’s why it got banned.
Tbh I don’t really care either way about this. Over handed censorship is a bad thing, trying to piss people off is a bad thing… they cancel each other out on the give -a-shit-meter for me.

Well, yeah... Climate change and global warming are not mutually exclusive.

Same place you got the cross shaped pillows? Otherwise, when in doubt, Amazon

Same tactics used by big tobacco. In some cases even the same researchers.

Hard to argue with that. I liked most of Trumps enacted policies and EO's once they were presented, but he was a train wreck as a spokesman.

It's widely assumed to be a coordinated takedown from David Elliott and the NSW Gambling Lobby.

I had to go back and look to see if she's wearing little cotton socks.

Oh, but don't you know? You have the emotional stability of a small child, and you just can't handle words that could literally at all be tied to anything bad that ever happened to people who looked like you hundreds of years ago. This is why white people need to start moral crusades to get people to not say "Pokemon master" because it'll offend you!(yes, that's a real thing I saw once)

With the help of Republican "think tanks" who propagated disinformation for decades.

>He's an idiot for making the same mistake as Trump and should face similar consequences
The problem is that most of your side strongly disagrees with this. We're already seeing waves of loyal accounts start saying why he didn't mean to so it isn't a problem, that he should be held to lower standards than, say, someone in the military who did this exact same thing(they'd get everything short of an on-the-spot discharge), that those documents might not have needed to be classified anyway because "everyone knows" America overclassifies things so it isn't a problem. They're not willing to let the truth of the matter that you've laid out speak for itself.

Reply to comment by we_are_mammals in Ukrainian refugee 'went home to see doctor as Scottish wait too long' by Thefriendlyfaceplant
Neat! Overall I think you're about right.
> The war's danger to Ukrainian civilians was 0.11% in 2022 (based on the highest estimate I've seen of 40,000 civilians killed out of about 36,000,000 currently there)
This is only the odds of dying from the war, you can still get murdered in Ukraine for reasons unrelated to the war. Is the murder rate in Ukraine lower than 0.02%? From some brief googling, it looks like the official rate is 0.006%, so from that you're less likely to be killed in Ukraine that Tijuana.
There are two wrinkles I'm not sure how to handle, however. First, most of the people murdered in Tijuana aren't foreigners, they're murdered because of conflicts between local gangs who don't want the attention of foreign governments. Second, the murder rate in Ukraine right now is probably higher than the official percentage. Unfortunately, the murder rate typically goes up when a country is in war since resources are scarcer and there's some degradation of the social order.
Again, nice analysis!
