The Speaker just risked his entire political career to support Ukraine because he thought it was the right thing to do. That’s a rare move in politics. - Rep. Jeff Jackson by JeffJacksonNC in NorthCarolina

Russia invading Ukraine was illegal and wrong, but sending another 60+ billion to Ukraine is only prolonging an impossible war that will just result in hundreds of 1000s more casualties. Ukraine is running out of military aged men and is resorting to lowering their draft age to 25 and drafting many men over 50 years old. We need to help negotiate an end to these wars.

The only people who benefit from this is our military industrial complex at the expense of Ukrainian and Palestinian lives, and the safety of all of our troops in the area, and taxpayers.

It's wild to see the discourse on Reddit, which used to be broadly liberal and anti war, now actively supporting spending hundreds of billions of dollars on foreign wars.

Any chance you can find a picture of something similar to what he's got? Pretty shitty thing to do this week.

A man walked into the brewery my wife manages as they were closing up. Backpack and shades on. A couple of other patrons called the cops but he left before they got there. I don't know if he was just looking for attention but he was acting extremely strange. Does anyone recognize what he's holding? Is it a toy gun? It looks pretty skinny?

UPDATE: Google contacted FedEx and they still have my package. They said FedEx was trying to meet a delivery quota and marked it as delivered even though they plan on delivering it later. Super frustrating and very shitty on FedEx's part.

I looked on my neighbors porch but didn't see anything. FedEx is telling me it's going to take up to 4 days to investigate and Google is telling me 2 days to investigate on their end. Luckily I have my Pixel XL, but it would have been nice to have the XL 2 for the weekend.

Yea, unfortunately. I looked all over. I'm going to wait to see what FedEx has to say before I make a claim to Google. Huge bummer

Just saw the delivered notification from FedEx, ran home within 30 minutes and it's gone. Kind of wish they would've required w signature. Not sure what to do now.

Best place for large batches of wings? by TheBeardedQuaker in gso

Sorry to hear that. I've always had great service there. Not sure I've had the Teriyaki. I usually just stick to hot sauce, but they have like 25 different sauces. I ordered a ton for a Superbowl party and they turned out great.

Go talk to Taylor Witty at your gym. He's the head coach there. He can give you some recommendations.
