I knew racist wasn't the right word, but it gets the point across.
The Afghan government under the US was run by Muslims. I'd rather have a Muslim in government than a racist like you.
OnePlus was fully designed and created in China while Motorola was bought out by Lenovo. Motorola is still fishy but it's technically still an American company so I feel better about it. It's just false hope that my data isn't being stolen, privacy is dead anyways.
The Nothing Phone is the only other real option, but it's also one phone while Motorola has several options for several different price ranges. OnePlus is purely Chinese (I know Motorola isn't perfect but it could be worse). Google Pixels aren't cheap.
I got the version with the stylus of this phone solely because the version without the stylus didn't have an NFC chip. The stylus is kinda neat though.
Motorolas are my favorite type of phone. I'm never going to use Apple and Samsung phones are bloated with garbage I don't want. It's not like there's another real option.
The cars are not the sustainability issue. If every modern car was as efficient as F1 cars then we would be in a much better spot regarding climate change. The issue is with the massive transportation effort involving planes, trucks, and ships required to transport materials between the races.
Dude, Ukraine was invaded. The last time the US has had to use a draft for circumstances like this was the Civil War, and everyone now thinks it was warranted then.
First people push for mass abortions of disabled people (see Iceland), next they try to make living disabled people's lives horrible. Eugenics is making a comeback and nobody cares.
The White House on Friday said it was open to training Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets in the United States if capacity for such training is reached in Europe.

Well in that case I should just vote straight-ticket Republican. I've always voted a mix of Democrat and Republican on local levels (since I've always voted for the best person for the job), but clearly that's not wise if I want to achieve my political goals.
To be fair we were in a heat wave, even by the new standards set by climate change.
A dream come true
There is no reason to consider one's political party in local elections, if they are even a part of one, in local elections. Large social and economic issues simply do not matter for small positions such as city council or mayor. If you're part of a large city such as NYC then sure but the vast majority of us aren't. By the way, this only applies to the US because of our "wonderful" 2 party system.
This is actually true for anyone who doesn't know
J. Michael Luttig, a conservative retired federal judge and key adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, declared on Wednesday that “there is no Republican Party” and said former President Donald Trump is even more dangerous than he was in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

By the way, I know that CNN isn't even really news anymore but it's easily accessible to everyone.
That's because it's straight from the book.
They literally all exist because of big tech. There's no point of a virtual assistant existing except to gather data.
The FBI set up a sting while looking for people who want to trade babies for Big Macs. It's a bigger problem than you think.

Oregon’s experiment to curb overdoses by decriminalizing small amounts of illicit drugs is in its third year, and life has changed for most everyone in the city of Portland.

The New York Times certainly isn't a conservative newspaper. If even they are saying Portland has become horrible, it must be worse than anybody can imagine.
An explosion at a political rally on Sunday in northwest Pakistan killed at least 35 people and injured 200 more, officials said, the latest sign of the deteriorating security situation in Pakistan, where some militant groups have become more active over the past two years.
One person has died and another was critically injured in a shooting at a Texas mall after the owner of a stolen truck confronted the alleged thief.

Immigrant advocacy groups had challenged the administration’s decision to sharply limit who is allowed to apply for asylum in the United States.

Recent polls have shown Trump getting 46% of the Republican vote while Desantis gets only 16% in second place. Does anyone here think that anybody other than Trump ever had/has a chance at getting the nomination?
I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.
