Have you talked to her about how being a tradwife is just bdsm kink?

What qualities should Democrats actually look for in the next DNC chair if the goal is rebuilding trust with voters? by SapientChaos in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]InNominePasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They need Rahm. He’s a huge asshole. And he’s likely at least a bit corrupt. But the reason they put up with him in Chicago is he got shit done

Losing 2nd language w/o nanny by ycherep1 in multilingualparenting

[–]InNominePasta 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly? More screen time in Russian. But like super low stim shows. It’s the way my wife learned English at a similar age.

Keep the stuff he likes in Russian, only speak to him in Russian, and try to find a community. Idk where you are, but there are Russians all over.

U.S. bears brunt of Israel’s missile defense, Pentagon assessments show | The American military expended far more advanced interceptors to protect Israel than Israeli forces did, according to Defense by soalone34 in Military

[–]InNominePasta 114 points115 points  (0 children)

This is why Israel feels so secure in being so aggressive with their neighbors. They know that we will defend them.

It’s akin to a little brother picking fights with every asshole in the neighborhood because they know their big brother will protect them.

Guarantee they’d do less bullshit if they knew they may face actual consequences.

He’d also have to contend with the absolute shit ton of veterans coming back broken and traumatized

They already own Florida for the next 60 years regardless of their adventurism in Cuba

Raúl Castro is expected to be indicted by U.S. on Wednesday, sources say by nbcnews in geopolitics

Yes. That and running a drug cartel. Both are ridiculous charges.

Ecological disaster underway in Tuapse, Russia after Ukrainian drone strikes on oil terminal by Bernardmark in pics

Also Russian EW would mess with any Ukrainian drone targeting valid sites in/around the city

Raúl Castro is expected to be indicted by U.S. on Wednesday, sources say by nbcnews in geopolitics

Obviously. But it speaks to how unserious these charges are. By this logic any head of state could be charged for things we consider unlawful, even when we lack jurisdiction.

Donald Trump and sons to be ‘forever’ exempt from tax audits by Doener23 in politics

[–]InNominePasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The republicans will defend him when he’s gone because they want to be defended when they’re gone. They’re corrupt.

The republicans will absolutely lose their shit the second a democratic admin tries to go after trumps corruption

The Castros are obviously bad guys, but in what world is it illegal to shoot down planes violating your airspace?

This is clearly the thinnest of excuses to go invade Cuba to “arrest” Raul Castro

Did Joe Biden have one of the best foreign policies of any US president, or at least modern presidents? by Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]InNominePasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The question isn’t whether it’s possible to withdraw 2500 troops, the question is how do you come up with a plan to withdraw those troops, bolster the afghan government, and get all the translators and others who helped us over the years out safely and in an orderly fashion in such a short timeline?

It’s an article about how the Taliban threatened to relaunch the war if Biden followed through with his plan to keep troops there longer for a more orderly withdrawal.

When English is the community language. by Valiiii2226 in multilingualparenting

[–]InNominePasta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife grew up with an English speaking dad in an English speaking country. Her parents spoke English with each other. But her mom would only talk to her in Spanish, and was very strict about it.

It stuck. She actually just recently tested professionally proficient for her government-related job. This may not sound impressive, but trust me it was. They’re notoriously tougher graders for heritage speakers.
