Elizabeth Warren ran for the nomination and lost, and gave a full-throated endorsement of Biden after she withdrew

Thanks for the original source. One wonders what the South China Morning Post's angle might be to incorrectly phrase it like they did

You'll notice only the last seven words are actually a quote. Almost certainly this is a mashup of expressing concern that Iran will attack Israel and a statement that US intelligence thinks Iran would choose military targets.

Not feeling depressed (euthymia) and feeling depressed (dysthymia) are emotional states that can be influenced by but exist independently of someone's circumstances. I encounter people who are homeless a lot in my work, and a good chunk of them are euthymic af, while there are a ton of people who have all their needs met and who are dysthymic af.

Emotional states have a lot more to do with genetic predisposition and learned behavior than most people would care to acknowledge, rather than situational factors

Damn, what a rollercoaster. This story is ripe for a screenplay

Definitely this, you can drink H2O no problem, but H2O2 and you're going to have a bad time. And yes, probably no need to have brominated vegetable oil in our food at all.

Some popular drinks that contain BVO include Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Fanta Orange, Fresca, Squirt, Sunkist Pineapple, and some flavors of Powerade.

Yeah all of these are killing you with sugar, too

Disney already owned well over 50% of Hulu, many of their shows on there are already on Disney+ outside the US. IMO this is nothing like Disney buying Star Wars or Marvel or ESPN or Fox.

Here's a list of companies that Disney created shortly before the buyout was confirmed.

Those are companies that Disney has acquired over decades, they didn't create any of them

He confessed because he got a plea deal and immunity from prosecution. The problem was the immunity only covered one jurisdiction, and he was liable in more than one jurisdiction

I'm somewhat convinced it's mostly Russian propaganda produced by Russian state-funded troll farms, which are very real

I struggle to understand lemmygrad. They advertise the instance as Marxist, but like you said they are reflexively pro-Russia and call you a western pig if you try to point out that Russia is also capitalist and not even remotely Marxist

It's so good. I was a TNG & DS9 fan, but I just didn't like Enterprise or Discovery, and I watched the first few episodes of Picard, but it was so dark and not like the others. SNW brings back the original Star Trek ethos, relentlessly optimistic and ethical with a realist streak, fantastic writing, great character development, and great special effects. They even have the traditional episode "types," like a Klingon politics episode, a courtroom episode, and a fantasy episode. My point is I love it, and I hope the writers'/actors' guilds get what they want soon so they can start filming season 3.

P.S. Fuck JJ Abrams

20 years ago before I had a wife, a child, pets, or a mortgage and when I had a simple job, I would destroy weeks at a time with some Final Fantasy 8. Logged obscene hours, unlocked every secret and beat every minigame, more than once. There's just no time in my life now for a game requiring that kind of time commitment, but there's always the memories
