Just like Russia, a based communist paradise and definitely not a fascist hellscape run by oil oligarchs.

That’s kind of a weird take. Centrists have not always done that (otherwise society would get steadily more conservative century after century) so you can’t just wave it away as meaningless. Instead I think liberals need to look at what is driving away centrists. (it’s immigration)
Did you look at the graphs though. Something happened right around 2012-2014 and it was definitely social media. I mean yeah its not the only problem but it’s definitely one of them.
No it’s definitely not. I was just making the point that we shouldn’t just assume that new trends are fine by default, just because past generations have had panics about new trends that turned out to be harmless.
The kids are not having fun.
Idk if this will load right but just Google adolescent self harm rates or something similar.
“New study confirms that my worldview is correct”
Is it? It’s just a forum it’s not like he’s asking the devs
You know my first motorcycle was a Yamaha V-Star 650. Your question made me double take haha
You seem like a really positive person! :)
Some aspects of it. “The voice” is basically jedi mind tricks. People that are attuned also get visions/senses of foreboding about the future. There’s no telekinetic stuff as far as I know.
Not a native Spanish speaker but I’ve always loved “otoño” (autumn). Such a beautiful word to say.
You got a source for “the majority of Jews condemn Israel”? Idk what that means but Im sure it doesn’t mean “the majority of Jews think Isreal has to go”
US intervenes: “this is imperialism! The US only wants Iranian oil. They don’t care about brown people”
US does not intervene: “the US doesn’t care about brown people!”
The US government is absolutely working to destabilize the current Iranian government. They would love to see the people take over the country and restore democracy for a number of geopolitical reasons. Also “left wing compared to an Islamist theocracy” is still pretty conservative, the US isn’t scared off by that haha.
?? Iran does not have nukes, although they are working towards it
I’m not going to say police in the US are flawless but this is horrific stuff, I’ve never heard of US police officers molesting and then beating to death an underage girl who was already bound and gagged. And if evidence of such an event were to come out there would absolutely be consequences. Meanwhile in Iran this shit is institutionalized. The documents show the guards straight up admit to everything happening to their superiors, knowing they won’t face consequences.
Nah that’s not true. Neither part is true. Go out and give blood!
By early in her career do you mean when she was like 18? I’m not saying she hasn’t had a lot of help. But I disagree with the idea that she’s just a figurehead. She is listed as a writer for pretty much all her songs, and you can usually tell a Taylor Swift song just by the sound/lyrics, which isnt something i can say for a lot of pop artists. If it was Antonoff the whole time then Bleachers would be more popular (relative to Swift).
-Very skilled songwriter. I don’t necessarily like all her stuff but I legitimately think she’s the best songwriter (meaning, composing music and writing lyrics) of her generation. Probably since Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel.
-Very attractive and a good performer
-Well connected in the music industry let her get an early start/inside track
-obsessed with being popular. I don’t mean that in a negative way, but her primary objective with her music is to please as many people as possible. I think the documentary “Miss Americana” on Netflix explains that very well-at one point she straight up says “I just want people to like me” or something like that. That means her music/career has always focused on mass appeal as opposed to making more… limited-appeal music like most artists do at some point in their career
-she’s kept a remarkably clean image even through being famous for close to two decades. It’s very telling that the worst thing her haters can say about her is “but her plane uses a lot of carbon!” This means parents let kids listen to her, brands love her as a sponsor, nobody boycotts her, etc.
-one last thing, I think people love her songs because they feel like they’re true. Her songs have a very intimate, almost confessional quality that a lot of artists strive for buy often comes off as fake.
That is cool but keep in mind that’s for a petrol bus I assume. It also doesn’t include cradle to grave co2 emissions (per person, cars use way more raw materials than buses). That’s also a good argument for motorcycles: from an environmental perspective they just use way less stuff
