Lamar is great. Not the type to rap about money, women and getting fucked up. I’d recommend mAAd City, DNA., HUMBLE. to start with. I’m not big into rap, but Kendrick is great.

Kendrick Lamar, Daniel Radcliffe (played Harry Potter), Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber. Radcliffe is the only one I would expect most people to get. Bieber hasn’t even been in the news cycle since before Covid, at least that I’ve noticed. Lady Gaga is more of a millenial pop icon than Grande. And Kendrick is definitely one of, if not the biggest name in hip hop right now, but unless you follow hip hop news you probably wouldn’t see him much in your newsfeed.
Propaganda does not have to have a hidden agenda. Literally the “I want you” uncle Sam poster is propaganda. That agenda was pretty obvious, there was no question who was behind it and it was pretty clear why it was commissioned in the first place.
There has been propaganda encouraging car-pooling, reusing materials, conserving electricity, promoting employment etc, and many of them even had credits as to who the message was coming from.
Propaganda is not inherently evil, but it’s important to understand the context and where it’s coming from.
It already is an option in certain states in the US and I think parts of Europe.
Problem drinking and alcoholism aren’t the same though. 9 out of 10 excessive drinkers aren’t alcohol dependent. So yeah, while many people who at some point have a problem with drinking can learn to moderate without future issues, I don’t know if most of them would fall into the alcohol dependency category.
When I replied, you didn’t have all of that info in there. Good for you though, if it works then great!
Yeah I’m going to have to agree. I’m an alcoholic myself and this is a problematic way of living with it. Moderation seldom works for alcoholics as it is and by putting your choice to drink on someone else’s offerings seems to just be a way to escape any blame should it end in full relapse.
Everybody’s journey is different though so I’m not going to judge. But at no point was I able to stop drinking until I straight stopped drinking. As they say “one drink is too much and a hundred isn’t enough.”
USB-C wasn’t designed until 2014. So yeah you’ll need a charging cable regardless
Don’t forget a charger, otherwise you’ll be screwed for awhile
Yeah money gets around, which means once you exchange it, it loses all connection to you. Merchants don’t track serial numbers, and there’s no guarantee those bills will be picked up in the next deposit to the bank.
That’s why banks use dye packs, because once it’s gone there’s no actual way to track it. If there were, they wouldn’t use dye packs…
Since when do cashiers actually look at serial numbers on dollars?
That’s a funny way to say “murder”…
Netanyahu saying there will be time to answer why he didn’t do anything to stop that Oct 7th attack after the war has to be top of the list right now.
If your talking about the firearm mortality rate, the top 4 states for firearm mortality are also the top 4 for homicide rate… there are a lot of similarities between the two and a strong correlation.

Where I pulled that statistic out actually kept them separate…

Illinois doesn’t even rate in the top half of states.
Between 2008 and 2016 115 domestic terror incidents were far-right inspired, 19 were far-left.
Since 9/11 73% of violent extremist incidents that resulted in deaths were caused by right wing radicalism.
From the KKK, to Oklahoma City, to Jacksonville and El Paso, the vast majority of politically/religious motivated gun violence were far-right inspired.
So originally anything west of the Appalachian mountains was called the west. Then as they explored more of the land and gained territories the line that defined the west moved to the Mississippi, making the territories between the Appalchians and Mississippi the Midwest.
Now the regions are split based on census data, and there are huge swaths of land in the West and Midwest that are sparsely populated so they are larger regions in size.
It makes sense if you actually look into it and take a 5 minute google search to learn about it.
Pretty sure they’re implying that the region west of the 13 colonies was called the Midwest, not that Ohio was considered the Midwest because it was one of the original colonies…
Why did Israeli police do nothing to stop the increasing violence perpetrated by illegal Israeli Settlers attacking Palestinians, of which Palestinian police are forbidden to react to? Their cops aren’t allowed to do anything, their illegal occupants cops won’t do anything, and the majority of Israeli Jews say they dont want Palestinians to have the right to vote if they annex Gaza. A minority of Israelis support a two state solution.
It’s not like Israel has been trying to play ball with them.
Do you have a Microcenter near you? Their prices are usually the best I’ve found. They have some shippable gaming laptops that just barely miss the specs or price target you have from what I saw but it’s worth looking into.
