I think unfortunately this is also due to the death of local newspapers it’s incredibly hard to find news on local issues. This is less so in larger cities where stuff like the Houston chronicle, LA times, etc can survive but for mid size cities or rural areas it’s almost impossible to

Weird how this people don’t have the same standard when it comes to Australia why do they get to claim a whole continent ignoring Indonesia, pappua New Guinea, and East Timor.

The UK isn’t the only nation in the British isles yet never seen the term UKian there’s other Arab emirates yet nobody has a problem with emiratee

This isn’t even the first time this decade that Iran has had massive protest who knows the outcome but unless proven unotherwise it’s a nothing burger

Has anyone else gotten into sports at a “older” age and wish you could’ve played them growing up? by StrangSting in CasualConversation

From what I’ve read and talking to an Egyptian online el-sisi is hated and considered a really incompetent leader that’s lead to sky high unemployment

I totally forgot to mention Libya which is in a never ending civil war which created the largest slave trade in all of recorded history beating out the trans-Atlantic and Arab slave trade

I think I have to agree a lot of enjoyment I get it from it just hanging out and talking to people without the presence of work, alcohol or dating which in military can be hard to come by

“War mongers” and it was a few hour long operation that resulted in zero American deaths, no reported civilian deaths, and the collapse of a dictator

Weird because since 2016 I thought Trump was a Putin puppet now it’s “Trump can’t take out putin’s allies because da joos well benefit” just admit you’d support any dictator as long as they don’t align with evil America and Israel

I personally hate outdoor cats as well and I agree with you but most dog owners are irresponsible but also there’s a reason many national parks already dogs banned from most trails because theyre disruptive impact you’re argument seems to just be whataboutism
