The source speaking with Al-Akhbar added that "mobilization operations" are being carried out in some neighborhoods and areas controlled by the Lebanese Forces, a right-wing Christian political party, under the pretext of "protecting our areas from the chaos of the displaced and so that they do not turn into occupiers."

I'm reminded of when my therapist told me to just stop caring about shit.

I wish America a very end of empire. The "free world stands with you! We want to sell you tickets to Marvel slop for $44/ticket"

That is a nuanced and insightful argument, unfortunately I have portrayed myself as the steel chestnut and you as the crying wojak chestnut

"he accepted over $200,000 in bribes when the local college gave him an honorary degree in law"

"he proceeded to accept another 6 figure bribe after a bout of food poisoning brought him to a hospital where he stayed overnight free of charge"

I don't know my point but I'm smiling at the idea that the mayor is a cheap date.

There are ways to get returns reliably. The total US market increased through the great depression, the world wars, etc. In my mind, if your total market index fund loses significantly, you're in a brave new world where your USD isn't going to help you much either. The only reason the government does stuff today is to make that money line go up and make sure those companies get to burn through all the resources of the world with nothing to show for it without suffering financial consequences.

Individual stocks are gambling unless you have foresight like a member of congress knowing that the next round of patch notes is going to nerf a company really big.

COVID, gunfire, and the ravages of time - they were all futile

Are we sure this guy's not the chosen one?

Why don't the wealthy like grilling? What the fuck are these people eating? They're always so weird about food, but it's like if I were wealthy I would actually eat the food at the attractions. If I didn't care about spending $25 for chicken tenders at a basketball game then why not? That sensation was one of my favorite parts of being abroad. The meals increased from $3 to $6 while I was a captive audience. I went down to the bar to get a bottle of water and a juice and I thought the teenagers at the bar had said it was going to cost 10x what they took. When they gave me the change back I was confused for a moment.

Are the rich exclusively getting fancy dining and private chefs? Is it always the plate with the little bit of sauce whipped onto it? Do they not sometimes want a simple meal they make themselves without having to text somebody that they're hungry? Do they also have someone draw for them? Do they have exploited labor journal for them as well? "Here Jones, take my phone and go be out and enjoy nature in my stead, I have to go make sure children don't eat." I want to pity them for never experiencing the stillness that comes from household chores.

My fellow Americans, I just thought of a way to save 117 billion dollars if you put me in charge of the project.

I am a secret lib the way I like the response, "that's a good point, but what's your bench press?"
