    I was in another forum and they started doing that classic “The US military is full of [insert slur here]”. I said that doesn’t really matter since the US has a bunch of guys off doing black ops shit in countries that we aren’t officially at war with anyway. The reponses I got think I’m crazy. I wasn’t aware commandos and feds on secret missions was a conspiracy theory, you learn something new every day.

    I went to the gym this afternoon. On the way home I pass a bus stop and a girl was sitting there. There was also a man standing right around the corner of the bus stop.

    He immediately made me feel weird. He also had his bicycle standing next to hem. I thought that was odd because why would you have your bicycle with you at the bus stop. It’s not that common.

    Anyway I didn’t trust it so after walking on for 20 meters or so I turned around to look. He was standing there FUCKING JACKING OFF. Like what the actual fuck man. This wasn’t some bus stop in the middle of nowhere either. It’s a fairly busy road.

    I ran towards him and pushed him to the ground yelling: ‘what the fuck are you doing you weirdo’. He got up, ran to his bike and took off. Don’t know if the girl even noticed what happened as she was wearing headphones staring into her phone, and he was sneaked up behind the corner.

    If I were a women I swear to God I wouldn’t leave the house without a weapon.

    I had been taking a break from this website for a few months, and these are the news that I come back to… I lack the words.

    Rest in power, Yahya Sinwar. Brave and defiant until the end. The resistance will continue, the zionist entity will be destroyed.

    I lightly browsed two socialist accounts on Twitter. The amount of chauvinist brainworms in the replies was astounding, I don’t understand how some of you people continue use that giant cognitohazard

      I don’t understand how I do either some days. Some of the best posts on there are swarmed with some of the worst stuff you could read. I’m pretty sure it didn’t use to be like that. There was always some shitshow stuff going on as far as I was paying attention, but the extent to which you see vicious garbage seems much more pervasive and intense.

    My classmate makes 1,5 times as much as me even though his job is just waiting around and mine is hard physical labour. It shows that the amount of money you make isn’t equal to how hard you work. No hard feelings towards my classmate though. I like him

    That Kamala interview on Fox was pretty bad. Nothing but dodging questions or outright lying the whole time. But of course the biggest questions, the ones about the weapons killing children in Palestine or the warlike rhetoric, remained unasked.

    [Gentile] landlords extorted Jewish refugees, demanding hefty fees in exchange for keys needed to access vacant flats. Still others fought with [gentile] occupants who refused to leave their dwellings despite [government] demands. Amidst the chaos, some ghetto dwellings housed ten to fifteen people. The dramatic increase in population density for Jews in the ghetto acted as a psychological assault intended to unsettle and disorient new ghetto residents.

    There’s this system in Belgium when you are sick. If you are sick for one day, that’s fine. If you are sick for two days or longer, you have to get a doctor’s note for it.

    I’m on day two of being sick now and instead of, you know, resting, I have to either take my bike or public transport into the city to go see my doctor so he can physically write me a note. Sure, it might only take a minute of his time but at this time of the year, with everyone getting sick, doing that one minute 20 or 30 times a day gives you less time to help actual patients.

    The supposed logic behind this is that your employer can’t disregard the note of a medical advisor but I feel like we are evolving backwards that way. There’s no need for people like me with a common cold to see a doctor after being sick for two or three days.

        Well I don’t get them, I call in sick. And I most of the time do it for a cold too. First of all because I think we should normalise not working when feeling unwell, second because I don’t want to infect others either. I see hundreds of people through work on a weekly basis so me feeling sick can turn into hundreds of people feeling sick and I think that’s pretty selfish.

        If my place of work has an issue with that, that’s up to them. My health and that of others is more important to me. We people work enough already and we should take back some selfrespect.

      Had to do the same back in school here in Germany, only difference being that the doctors note was needed on day one. Stupidest shit ever.

        It’s a dumb system. I’m originally from The Netherlands and never had to deal with anything like this. When I still went to school my mom would call and tell them I was sick and they were like ‘Okay get better soon’. When I worked in NL I’d call myself and tell them I was sick. If I was sick for a longer period of time I’d either go to the doctor myself because something was probably wrong or they’d send a doctor for the company to check on me.

        Do people abuse that system of trust in The Netherlands? No. There’s no need to be overly controlling.

    just had a fight with europeans about using the word eurasia because we asians don’t wanna be associated with génocidaires. they use the term when it’s convenient and wanna be inclusive and then assault asian minorities in europe, and then it’s asiatic hordes.

      That’s weird,the people who popularized the term were the Russians,and originally it means something like Russkiy Mir, the Russian sphere of influence rather than some concept of unity between Western Europe and Asia

      So it’s odd Europeans would use it
