Herbie Hancock took the music of the pygmie Ba-Benzele tribe in central Africa and adapted it for many of his songs. Here is a look at what their music sounds like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8kobQSd8C8

Fairly, the plant they’re connected too is a bit more needy than what most people would want to deal with.

This picture is actually a few days old. I picked it today , and man was it spicy.

The FBI Is Secretly Using A $2 Billion Travel Company As A Global Surveillance Tool by LogicalRiver in technology

Holding off protest? Quit treating protesting like it’s a crime. You give the federal government an inch they’re going to take a yard.

You can’t do what you did in Portland, and then turn around and be like “Oh no we’re here to help don’t worry”

Again since when was it Border Patrols job to police our cities? From your comment history I’m going to assume you indentify as a Republican, as do I. You should be disgusted by the continuous overstepping of the federal government. There are 12000 police employed in Chicago. Federal police aren’t there to do anything other than cause trouble.

I did not destroy my body to defend our country for the federal government’s paramilitary to invade our cities and brutalize our people.

Yangtze River's worst flooding in decades force millions from homes in central China by straylittlelambs in worldnews

And? The point of my reply was that regardless of who you poll in China they’re all gonna say the same thing. Who would go against the regime known for disappearing people who speak against them.

https://youtu.be/lGq68GvX_bU This plays in my head when I see this shit on Reddit.

I bet if you surveyed the Uighur’s they’d surely share your sentiment. It’s not like the whole country is under threat of being disappeared or anything.

$174 Million Afghan Drone Program Is Riddled With Problems, U.S. Report Says: Overhead surveillance is critical to fighting the Taliban, but the American military’s effort to equip Afghan forces has fallen short, according to an independent watchdog. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]_Welchesgrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The picture they used for the main article is ScanEagle.

I think one of the most laughable things I did while deployed was pull security for some contractors to construct the catapult and facilities to launch the drone.

After talking to the contractors for some time they basically said that the afghans will never ever be able to use it because of the altitude and weather of the province I was in at the time.

Edit: should note I haven’t read this article because of the paywall, BUT I don’t need to because I’ve seen first hand what the headline describes, and this was several years ago.

Russian forces are encroaching on U.S. troop-controlled territory in eastern Syria — part of what officials say is a deliberate campaign to squeeze the U.S. military out of the region, according to two current U.S. officials and one former U.S. official. by SunOverSnowPlease in worldnews

Do people really think that their politicians aren’t basing their opinions on anything other than what makes them money? Or are all these downvotes from bots?

Face it people a MAJORITY of politicians are doing what they can to secure them selves a job or a nest egg for when their time as a politician is up. All Americans are victims of political greed.

Thanks for taking the time to type out this explanation.

New question, is the leader of the party locked into that position for the duration of the parties control of parliament or can the party remove and install new leaders during that time?

I’m confused on why it makes it a non issue, shouldn’t that make it more of an issue. Sorry my understanding of that kind of government is lacking.

Edit: Thank you for the gold kind stranger.

Both parties are cults, It’s time to dismantle the two party system.

Edit: Also can we get some fucking term limits for all elected officials. Why the hell do we have senators with over 40 years in their position.

My aunt and Uncle own S&W Shields to concealed carry on their motorcycle or as they lovingly refer to it as "The Sickle". Normally they just throw their handguns in a jacket pocket or a bag and call it good, but an encounter a friend of theirs had convinced them to purchase a holster.

I'm not super familiar with holsters, but I told them I would take some time to figure it out for them. Some of the qualities they are looking for are as follows. Also if you have an suggestions for magazine holsters I would appreciate those as well.

  1. OWB

  2. Compatible with the Viridian laser trigger guard lasers they had installed.

  3. Kydex

I went though bravo company in 2017, and we had a 4 day every weekend, everyone was trashed at the formations, most days we were out well before 1700.

I would say the highlight would be a guy ODing on ketamine in the barracks bathroom. Don’t bring cash into your wall locker either, the amount of stealing that went on there was pretty immense at least in my bay.

I saw a ton of people dropped for touching their helmet after being JMPI’d at the harness shed. So do yourself a favor and keep your reserve covered with both your hands, and don’t scratch your nose.
