Tbh this is why I like wfh.

Which mainstream media?

The left describes mainstream media the same as legacy media.

The right describes mainstream media as media that follows the main stream of consciousness (i.e., anything to the left of Fox)

They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for the better part of a decade. Polite conversation is dead.

There’s a bit of nuance tho…

Technically the executive branch is the sole authority over classification. Ipso facto, the president can unilaterally decide if something is classified or not.

Historically, declassification is something that’s not handled lightly. It needs to be thoroughly analyzed, and generally speaking the president likely doesn’t know enough detailed context as to what may be okay or not.

The president using this power to save face…let alone to get out of trouble…is historically unique. And absolutely fucking moronic. Not to mention critically short-sighted.

We helped pay for Sesame Street in the middle east because it’s super effective pro-Western-Culture propaganda. Seriously can’t have a better investment than we had there.

Oh the other children’s programming is funded by generous support from…the Taliban…soooo, good job giving them a monopoly on kids minds? How you think that’ll play out in 5-10 years when they are old enough for war?

My first job was at a restaurant that was on DD&D. It was definitely the latter lol. Very definition of a greasy spoon.

Good food. Probably skirted a lot of health codes. But good food nonetheless.

Or obscure cultural references just don’t make as much of an impact and you are reading too into it, intentionally making yourself into the asshole.

Chill the fuck out.

Suck another dick.

Very few franchises the size of HP have multiple badass female characters. Maybe Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth?

Not for nothing but I’d take that like a badge of honor.

Like getting the shit beat out of me by Minerva McGonagall. I’d let her. She could beat me up all night long. No doubt about it, absolute badass. Like when Molly Weasley killed Bellatrix. Idgaf how evil you are or how many curse words you know…nobody fucks with Ginny.

This is it. GDP alone tells a very small part of the picture. It shows the health of the economy as a whole.

A much better picture would be median net worth.

Something like this…
