Also when the afrikanners arrived, charities refused to help them settle, yes charities are largely responsible for refugees from other countries.

who are also donors of the gop, and the dnc survival hinges on leeches off the coattails indirectly of gop’s messaging and propaganda(when gop messes things up, suddenly the dnc are electable again, and it cycles through gops culture war propaganda and than back to DNC again forever), and gifts that people like putin and meganors give them. thats why dnc rarely push for significant medicaid/care for all, or voter reform, election rigging investigation until its too late, this way if they can use it as a voting issue, and plus Education would hurt both parties in general, moreso for republican in a way it would generate less cannon fodder for the MIC if everyone has a degree and a career of that degree.

that just confirms that they are one in the same, on the status quo. the old guard are just republican lite, or they wouldnt been able to be elected if they were R party.

thiel has an obsession with lotr, so he named all his evil companies after various lotr themes.

they are still useful for research, medical colleges, military so they can blow it up.

some people even did K2, and thats more dangerous than everest.

all the ones that are super-authtorian ones: russia, NK, USA, Saudia arabia if you are in a certain demographic. all the war torn ones that were ruined by israel. places where you have no experience in, like deep jungle in South and central america, and antartica and also mt everest, K2.

too many westerners thought they could venture out in the jungle with no directions or guides.

i went for .today few weeks ago, might look at other instances.

they are shutting down due to lack of admins , and they were running on skeleton crew, couldnt handle the massive amount of content/moderation on lemmy instance.

so thats what they are called we are asian and we always have this in some of our dishes. apparently the chinese one is not even closely related to the “Olive” different order of plants.

the good ones are pretty expensive, and most people dont buy them, they have imported bougies ones sold by WF.

american chocolate is just milk sugar mostly, i would like at the total cacao concentration, anything less than 70% is nasty asf, most american ones are under 40%. i heard the hersey ones they use some kind of chemical in it to make it taste the way it is. White chocolate american is the most chemically tasting and smelling of them all.

peeps marshmellows?

alot of cookies and cakes are like that, you can feel the granular sugar, because they put so much.

milk chocolate by any of the big chains, are just trash. at WF, they sell gourmet chocolate imported from outside the US, or they make the ones that are bougie and expensive. dark chocolate, not so sweet is the best. white chocolate seems to have a chemical smell and aftertaste to it, super synthetic, that has no chocolate i never liked the taste.

i cant stand the smell of durian candy, its way to pungent.

seems unusual, at 13 i already hated sleeping with a family member in different beds, because he was constantly hovering over as a “helicopter parent” who he thought took it upon himself.

invincible kind of fell off around 2 and 3, due to bad animations, and the length of time in between the series. i think people got bored, and just watched the comics narration on youtube instead.

if your into scifi, sg1, sga, SGU you might want to hold off on that, because you might get disappointed in more than 1 ways. STAR trek tng,to ds9 to voyager, and maybe enterprise. just none of the nutrek. maybe ISAIP, but the consensus seems to be only from the crowd that watched it when it aired in the 2000s to 11th season, the newest seasons13+ is just super wierd and not like the old seasons, genz and younger apparently have no idea who the actors are so just be warned.

some pre-disney marvels, like gifted, AOS,etc.

timothy olyphant plays as a deputy in a series. i only heard about the series because he was originally on DAMAGES show.
