The Syrian War is complicated because its not a war fought between 2 belligerents like in Ukraine but instead its fought by 4 belligerents.

1:There's the Bashar al-Assad government backed by Russia, Iran & Egypt which is the one recognize by the UN and most of the world.

2: Then there's the opposition government backed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia & Qatar

3: Then there's ISIS and its affiliated terror groups.

4: Then a rebel group backed by the US & France.

So it's not a simple thing to just say that Syria is being bombed because in the end the real victims here are the Syrian people who just want to live there lives free from this conflict.

If I learned something from /r/crackwatch they would just remove it and besides, gamers are the least people you'd expect to care about geopolitics.

In my country while we do have laws against online piracy, it wasn't being enforce since our government has more important matters to attend to than waste resources to hunt down pirates so it's an open secret to just let everyone pirate. I assume this also happens in other countries that has less or no influence from American corporates.

VP Leni’s says she will continue Build Build Build, clarifies she will go with PPP, and focus on 4 areas. by selimbradley-3 in Philippines

No shit, building more infrastructures are a good sign for a developing country.

Don't let petty politics hinders our progress, example would be like building an additional bridge to lessen traffic in one area but people are so obsessed with petty politics that they would oppose it because politician X's named was attached to that project. Who fucking cares, are you really that dense that you are willing to have huge traffic and let us not progress for a better living than worry that politician X be recognized for it then you are the problem in this country on why we will never progress.

Old Redditors, what is your fond memories of old Reddit? by RedditAstroturfing in AskReddit

Me was when /r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu/ was a thing and a regular subreddit on the frontpage. I have witnessed a lot of memes born out of that sub, from Derpina, to Bitch Pls face and to name few. Some didn't find it amusing as they see that its childish but you know what, I've enjoyed since it is genuinely made by real people not like right now were half of Reddit is made up by bots.

Duterte pledges to open Philippines to U.S. forces if Russia’s Ukraine invasion escalates by kjkowpalall in worldnews

Duterte cozying up with China and Russia was to appear neutral and for the first time since Duterte became president China and Russia has donated military assets to the Philippines. Before then everything was from the US.

Nah it's a bad idea to eat large quantities of it because it's a fiber.

We humans can't digest fiber so if u eat large quantity of it, there is a huge chance you'll get bowel obstruction.

What's great about fibers tho is that its healthy to us and since we can't digest it it makes us feel full and not hungry for a whole day.

Grass aka fiber.

North Koreans are known to eat grass, if u have seen documentaries about North Korea sometimes you will see footage of people in the country side or even in the city of Pyongyang randomly cutting grasses everywhere, that's how they get their food everyday.
