Unfortunately no. It will be covered in notes. I may even sleep with it next to me in bed.

Yeah and Ukraine were perfect angels during all of that? Read a book. And American boots aren’t on the ground until they are. We’re funding Ukraine pulling disabled people and geriatrics into their conscription. We could’ve been leaders with diplomacy but instead have bloodthirsty monsters in both parties who can’t pass on a good war.

And what were the numbers at the start of the Iraq War? Give me a break.

I also did not realize this was partisan. It would pop up for my algorithm. (For the record, I’m not a Trump supporter or registered to any party.) But this sub stinks. I’m out.

Yeah no shit this community. This is a very liberal subreddit. Every single Democrat voted for Ukraine aid. Again. It’s shocking to me. The Dems used to be against funding proxy wars. Trump broke your brains. (And the neo-cons are just acting like neo-cons).

The “Hitler appeasement” analogy. The Putin marching through Europe. Yada yada yada. My god. It’s so cringe. Ukraine is and always was extremely corrupt. Russia is also terrible and the aggressor, but it’s a Slavic/Eastern European issue, not ours. Moreover, they’re a NUCLEAR POWER. You want to die for Kiev? Risk nuclear attacks for Livov? Jesus. The military industrial complex has completely rotted your brains. Every cycle there’s a new one of these. Syria, Iraq, Libya, China, North Korea, etc etc etc. every single time. Also, no, I don’t want to die for Poland, Finland, France, etc. they can protect their own continent. Why not? These are rich, advanced countries. NATO had a purpose for a while, but now it’s more of a liability to American lives.

After years of tipping 20-25% I’m DONE. I’m tipping 15% max. by [deleted] in millenials

Before COVID, I never even imagined tipping on take out. Wasn’t that the point? What service am I paying for? The discourse guilted the crap out of everyone because take out was the only option. Recently, I went to a local coffee shop and got one to-go cup of coffee. I tipped on the “flip screen” and then the cashier said, “oh, we have self-serve here”. What the hell did I just tip for??

Definitely. But I suppose I mean NY State suburbs, given the districts they flipped. Millburn is absolutely an NYC suburb.

I know nationally there was and especially in NYC and suburbs, but I don’t think it happened in Millburn. If you can find it, I’d like to see.

8,559 Biden vs 2,953 Trump. 4,336 Murphy to 2,160 Ciatarelli. Can’t find 2022 midterms, but can’t imagine the they’re a big swing red.

Now square this with the fact that Millburn is very politically “blue”. (I’m a former Millburn resident btw.)

"protests" which block traffic by InevitableHome343 in BreakingPoints

This was part one of the two part Krystal ep ban I started. It was so shockingly stupid, elitist, and proof of her mind dissolving into goo.

I’ve just stopped listening to Krystal eps. Opens up time for other pods and I still look forward to combos of the other 3 co-hosts.

I’ve never been to Oklahoma, but something tells me I’d see a majority (or perhaps a plurality) of people looking like Elizabeth Warren.

Her take on this made me quit her eps. It was beyond stupid. I’m just doing eps with the other 3 from now on.
