It's okay to be a republican, you don't have to fake it.

I hope somebody comes back and stands it up straight.

I hear that the leaning tower of Pisa leans right.

The Hard Times is clearly the best satire btw.

Honestly in terms of action (not words) he might be the least warlike president since carter

He's invaded less countries than Clinton so far.

I mean Bill. Kosovo. I guess Kosovo is the new Forgotten War for America. It actually went well and didn't result in a quagmire and it was reacting to a very real genocide so the world didn't remember it as yet another imperialist chess move. I honestly don't even know if it was an imperialist chess move. I guess the 90s was the time when the US became "the world police" because we didn't stay in Iraq, Somalia seemed like a legit humanitarian conflict, and so did Kosovo. And with what happened after 9/11 to overshadow the 90s conflicts I don't think many people have publicly analyzed those conflicts to figure out how they were imperialist. I mean I clearly remember Kosovo and yet I remember nothing about it beyond the news coverage at the time so I can't even comment on what might have been going on behind the scenes, unlike so much of what happened in the 2000's.

We got scared off in Somalia and watched the Yugoslavian **** on TV.

Fake Streams Could Be Costing Artists $300 Million a Year

Quote:

In streaming, there’s a finite pot of revenue. If any of that that goes to an illegitimate source due to streaming manipulation, that’s a problem for members of the independent community.
That's a cute way to describe passing on the costs of a flawed system onto the people it couldn't survive without.
