NATO is suspending sharing intelligence with the US lmao the downfall is speeding up
I wouldn’t count on it
The USA has been on a winning streak
Syria and now Venezuela
Venezuela has not been a win. They kidnapped a man but Chavismo is still strong. All that has happened is that the empire has further unmasked itself.
Hello everyone, just submitted documents for internship.
hi
I noticed a blind spot in my thinking today. I have a tendency to go along with the mindset of “good and bad drivers” and “there are bad drivers everywhere”, probably because that’s the point of view I’ve encountered my whole life, is putting blame on drivers themselves as individuals. But what of the systemic influence? The conditions of roads and the difficulties of driving competently for extended periods? In all the places I’ve been in or heard about in the US, roads are consistently inconsistent in design. There are repeat patterns, sure, but it’s evident they were not thought through well into the future, especially for the number of cars on them. Nor for various businesses shoving their way in as something people may need to turn to get into.
So although I’m sure there’s varying levels of skill at driving a car, that doesn’t necessarily even correlate to any given boneheaded decision on the road. People are expected to make snap decisions under stressful and dangerous conditions on overcrowded and convoluted road designs that they are sometimes completely unfamiliar with. Of course it’s going to be bad sometimes. If anything, it’s a wonder it’s not worse than it is.
This is a very clever but simple idea. Back in my hitchhiking days I would obviously spend lots of time standing beside a road watching cars go past and I noticed that some places had significantly more dents and miscolored fenders etc. (like Tacoma, Washington) I always assumed it as just a town of “bad drivers” (like a fucking liberal dipshit) Its so obvious that it must be the material conditions. I’m sure proximity to an international airport is going to mean more fender benders but instead we’ve been conditioned to blame the people.
Thanks for this.
That said there are some really bad drivers, like me.
I just deleted my Twitter account.
I haven’t been on twitter in so long. Good for you.
Nice, your life will improve vastly.
Different ways to say popcorn in Latam!
Does the rest of Latin America put hot sauce and lime on their popcorn or is that just a Mexican thing? I ask bc it came to my attention recently that not everyone does this…
That’s predominantly a Mexican thing and the hot sauce that we usually use is Valentina.
Saludos compa. Yeah I put that stuff on everything, even soup. The maruchan noodles that come with lime and chile flavor just don’t taste the same as adding them yourself.
Do you use El Yucateco a lot in Mexico? I have a bottle of it in the fridge, which I use sometimes.
Personally, I don’t. If I need a spicy sauce, we usually do it from 0 with a molcajete. Like this:
Hot sauce and spicy spices are predominantly a Mexican thing in general….
Y’all are missing out on chamoy.
I like Guatemala’s best. Poporopo is just fun to say.
Muy complicado
Rest of Latin America: “Let’s just use one word.”
Colombia: “Fuck you here’s four.”
Actually it’s two
two terms, three words
Anyone else hates the entire network of wholesale->retail intermediaries? Im trying to buy some some security system from a hikvision and turns out there are at least 3 intermediaries in my country alone assuming its sold directly from manufacturer to my country wholesale provider.
I have the opportunity to go to Tallinn soon so I figured why not but I did not think about it being winter and it being -15 to -20 degrees over there and now I don’t know what to do lol. Maybe I should visit some anti communist museum for shits and giggles.
“Socialism. People’s Power.”
The MST(Movimiento de los Trabajadores Rurales Sin Tierra ) l is holding its 14th National Meeting in Salvador, Bahia, with 3,600 delegates from across the country in attendance.
The agenda includes building socialism and fostering unity among the peoples of the world.
Stay safe, everyone. Keep up your studies and habits, take care of yourselves.
As always, communism will win.
🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Have a great week, comrade!
Have a nice week comrade! o7
You too Oppo
vos también camarada 🫡
You too comrade!
Is Sepultura lib?
Goddamnit! I thought Cavalera-era Sepultura was great.
My another disappointment was learning Gojira’s “The Chant” was a “fReE Ti88€t” song.
that’s why I don’t like them anymore. They even dedicated a song to Ukraine, but they never made a song about freeing palestine.
Sad to see how good musicians have bad opinions. To cope with that, I ignore the album with shitlib songs. At least I can keep my enjoyment that way.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
