Aren't all protests performance? In the sense that they are made for others to see and to bring awareness? What else are they for? It's not for debate or promoting alternatives, it's too messy for that.

After clicking some links, I confirmed that there was also a storm called Daniel and that the two dams didn't just burst by themselves, they burst because of the flood from that storm

PS: apparently it's not just the storm, there were previous warnings.

A 2022 report in an academic journal had warned that if a flood equivalent to one in 1959 was repeated, it would be “likely to cause one of the two dams to collapse, making the residents of the valley and the city of Derna vulnerable due to a high risk of flooding”.

Eh, but you have examples of long-term problems created by each president: you had Clinton's half-baked Eastern European legacy, Bush II's middle east legacy that lasted a while, Trump's completely polarised political landscape. I'm not sure what Obama's main fuckup was, but there were many small neglects (maybe the main one was how he handled the 2008 crisis that Bush II left him)...the more influence you have as a country and as a person, the more shit falls on your plate to deal with :/

An oil embargo, lend-lease over the Himalayas and the Pacific war culminating in Japan's surrender helped China repel Japan a lot more than 20%, but sure "death to murica".

Question: but how can they tell she's not Japanese (I'm assuming she speaks Japanese)? E.g. many Europeans could pass as being from anywhere in the Americas+Europe as long as they don't say anything and dress like a local. Are they that sensitive to facial structure differences?

If you can hardly feed and house yourself ... you can't afford to woo a wife or raise a kid :/ but that won't stop some people trying to half-ass it I guess

I need more of these...for research 🤫

Indeed, making russia pay for trying to conquer a sovereign country by helping that country defend itself.

Well, since we're here, what are the big news where you live these days?

I got used to it, you just need to look at the US as a union of states like Europe, in which case Arkansas is about equivalent to Lithuania in population (although if you correct for the more states and less pop of the US you get Bulgaria or Finland if you use a ranked method) . The same could be done for China, India and Brazil.

Technically a good boi then.
