Zerlyna must be busy today so I figured I'd just affirm that today, January 1st I will be happy to not drink alcohol with you today.

We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we’re here together!

Welcome to the 24 hour pledge! I’m pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.

Maybe you’re new to c/stopdrinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you’re like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you’ve been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.

It doesn’t matter if you’re still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!

Saying the quiet part out loud again. Forced relocation through either terror or expatriation is Ethnic Cleansing. Ethnic Cleansing may fall under the Genocide Convention.

WTF?

Zionism has had a long and troubled history by this point, and I don't even know much below the surface. I'll tell you right up front I view Israel as an apartheid state and I'm not even a leftist. It's just right out there in the open, for anyone to see.

Here in the US, we have a Christian Nationalism movement that would love to set up exactly what Israel has in "The American Redoubt", also known as "Greater Idaho".

Fucking terrifies me and my property isn't even in their sights for conquest. Building a nation state along ethnic or religious boundaries is wrong in my opinion. I hold that opinion because I'm an American who believes in immigration, mixing of races, and freedom for all. Just the phrase "Jewish nation" makes my skin crawl.

quick edit: of course, all the ethnostates surrounding Israel are immoral in my view also.

He's not even thinking this through to a logical end. If this is legal (and I really doubt it is) wouldn't that mean that Texans can be sued by anyone in a state with more restrictive gun laws if a gun sold in Texas ended up being used in a crime elsewhere? What about training? Ammunition?

What a buffoon.

Wow, he said it out loud. I mean, looking at it from the outside it sure looks like they are trying to level it but goddamn, that dude actually SAID it.

Brittany said she’s trying to be optimistic. “Yeah, it gets better,” she said. “But when is it going to get better for us, specifically?”

Honestly? When you GTFO of Lynchburg, VA kids. I don't say that lightly, Lynchburg is about 3 and a half hours away from and about 50 years behind Washington, DC.
