JUST ONE MORE PACKAGE BRO
I SWEAR BRO JUST ONE MORE, I SWEAR
The LGBTQIA+ community came together to celebrate pride month in spite of police brutality, military enlistment office kidnappings, and general homophobic attitudes from the population.
Meanwhile, at the capital's main square gathered the "activists for traditional values". They waved the ultra-nationalist Right Sector and Azov flags, and chanted "To the Ukraine's enemies? Death, Death, Death". They started marching, and later ran towards the location of the pride parade, but by the time they reached it, the participants already have dispersed. Here's the video.
Crowds gathered on the square in front of the 14-story hotel to celebrate the fall of the Soviet Union. Now, Hotel Ukraine is up for auction as part of an effort to sell off some large state assets to help fund the military and bolster an economy
Fucking hell man. If this was a movie, you'd call it lazy writing. Literally 90s 2.0, and they're even making communism the bad guy again somehow.
Absolutely not. If you like streaming - by all means, do it, it's fun, and it even might eventually take off. But it is an industry where 99% of people don't make any money after years and years put into it. Definitely do not start with the expectation to make a living. Any other form of content creation has better odds of working out. And it's almost always better to move into streaming after amassing some audience that way.
Damn, I sure would hate it if the grocery prices in Canada were to plummet. Instead of going up 40% in the last ten years. I should be thankful though, at least it's not like the rent that went up 50% since covid. Boy, I sure love the stimulated economy.
Holy fucking copium. The entire thing is "we're only interested in our national and strategic interests, but that's actually good for both parties".
The year began with the relationship at a historic low point. A year ago this week, a Chinese spy balloon traveled across the United States
Lmao
Unironically "but the other choice is worse!". The democrats have been doing literally the same shit that republicans did (police funding, title 42, Roe v Wade, willow project, rail strike blocking, sinophobia, etc). And even the little good they've done, like the student loan freeze and forgiveness, infrastructure bill, build back better/inflation reduction act, are not really their campaign focus. So we're just doing the 2020 election 2: electric boogaloo.
Tldr:
Here are my five beliefs:

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
In many regards it's worse. Chinese schools are extremely individualistic and competitive, as well as centered around teachers' authority. They're exam/test oriented, especially closer to the OG "first tier" cities. After each one of those exams the ranking of all students is published, and if you're outside of the top 20% you are pretty much considered a failure. This puts an insane amount of pressure on students. Since 2010 the suicide rates have been steadily decreasing for general population and for age groups 25+, while for younger people, and especially for the 5-14 group they have been rising significantly.
Gotta be a shitpost, with libs recently finding Bin Laden's "Letter to America", turning a full 180, and going "I'm so shocked that Arabs can form a coherent thought that maybe he was right"
Talk to them about good political news as well. When all you hear is "everything everywhere is terrible" it's easy to just tune it out. Successful unionization efforts, protests, progressive legislature.
