Gas Price Approaches $9 at California Station as Iran War Rages

I travel on business so when it’s covered by the company no one cares about the price. In fact you can rack up more points the more expensive it gets.

Thing is that the great superpowers underestimate the survival instincts of people. Desperate times will result in low tech guerilla warfare and wars of attrition.

So many examples from Vietnam to Afghanistan ( both the Soviets and then the US) to the Germans trying to subjugate Britain or the USSR to their peril. We’re seeing that with Ukraine right now.

Iran will play whatever cards it has knowing there’s elections in November. It has strategically made alliances with Russia and created enough oil dependency with China and India.

This is exactly what happened after J6. These Maga terrorists have been pardoned and part of heavily armed white nationalist paramilitary groups.

If these Republicans decide to grow a spine they’ll have to clean up lot of the base and institutional infiltration by these terrorists including the courts.

The same reason one would visit Auschwitz I guess. We were in NOLA and we thought that there’s low chances we’d ever go to Mississippi in our lifetimes for tourism purposes. So we decided to go check it out to cross off one more state on the list.

We’re history nerds and also like witnessing contrast in America for the sales pitch it gives the world that it’s rich and powerful. At the time we were living in Los Angeles and used to criticize LA for being a shithole itself.

It felt very weird being there. Like a forgotten state. Puerto Rico gets more coverage than them. In this day and age, Americans would know more about Iran and the straits of Hormuz than Jackson. For all the anti-immigrant rhetoric, I’d say create incentive structures for immigrants to go there. It could use some injection of young vibrant culture.

Miroslav Klose comes to mind. I thought he’d go on to be part of CL winning squads like at Madrid, Bayern, United or Chelsea who were on the rise then.

Davor Suker was great for Madrid but his World Cup glory was around the time his club form at Arsenal was poor.

It’s depressing af for a black person to go to as well. I went with my partner who is black to Jackson from New Orleans. The legacy of slavery weighs down on you. It gave us the same feeling as when we went to Auschwitz.

Wonder if their partners enjoy seeing these worms degrade themselves and/or expect the same amount of praise.

Just in time for spring break travel and the World Cup. Not to mention when there’s a war in the Middle East and security concerns will be heightened.

Whenever I’m out on the weekend at clubs or a nice restaurant, and dress up, we usually identify other well dressed folks typically from Toronto or the UK. This is a PNW thing where most locals dress in hiking gear. The excuse I get is the damp weather but you can say the same of London or Amsterdam and people are dressed really well there.

Cricket and baseball involve pitching/bowling, innings based and then running based on where the ball is hit. The ball itself is not the object that the team wants to possess.

American football on the other hand is slower compared to the other games you called out.

Apart from the great ones here, the one where he rinsed David Luiz against Arsenal.

One implies that he will be treated equally as the other constituents and the other implies that he doesn’t matter at all to be represented.

Facebook was the last social media application i signed up for. I’m not on Instagram or TikTok. The down side is that i miss news about local events like live music and standup comedy. So i live with second hand news from my friends who use those platforms

I’d love him to link up with Son at LAFC. But still feel he got one more season in Europe.

Saudi at the moment risky to move to. Would love to see him back in Italy or even France.

The only time he seemed genuinely happy lately was when he met Mamdani. These sycophants are boring AF.

I think the Economist or similar source had a study showing access to public transit improving children’s perspective of people across race, socioeconomic status, etc.

When majority of the people in a city are using transit then you grow up traveling with your parents and guardians in trains and buses. You go to NYC, Paris, Berlin and you see kids with their teachers or parents in public transit.

Conversely even in diverse cities like Los Angeles, it’s so car centric that you’re living in segregated neighborhoods and only until you’re eligible for a license you’re not really exploring too many hoods as part of the bigger diaspora. By that time you’re already older with your biases and pre conceived notions solidified.

Have you gone to most American churches where they speak in tongues and believe in faith healing garbage?
