  1. Cross posting, big news: https://www.npr.org/2024/11/26/nx-s1-5206389/israel-ceasefire-hezbollah-lebanon I don't believe the full details have been released.
  2. Big news here: https://www.npr.org/2024/11/26/nx-s1-5206389/israel-ceasefire-hezbollah-lebanon I don't believe the full details have been released.
  3. I'm not sure I agree with this. Feel free to post some, I'm certainly willing to have my mind changed, but 1I've never seen any sort of compelling evidence that there is any correlation between economic status/level of education and substance abuse. I have, on the other hand, seen studies over the years that suggest that the middle/upper class consume drugs/alcohol at either the same rate or a higher rate than those at a poverty level. On the other hand, there is a correlation with homelessness and substance addiction, but that adds multiple additional layers of hardship over simply being poor that would possibly lead someone to substance abuse. I would guess the answer is much more simple, and that's just the bleakness of their existence. I live in a rural area of central TX, out in the country but near a town that is objectively dying and lacking opportunity for basically anyone that isn't a fast food restaurant owner or has some sort of specialized practice (dentist, lawyer, etc). I know so many people who are barely hanging on by the skin of their teeth and any number of major (or even minor, but seemingly major in their eyes) life events lie in wait that could absolutely push them into a hopeless spiral that could quickly lead to suicide.
  4. Not necessarily true with regard to health care in general, spending doesn't necessarily correlate to quality of care. We vastly outspend everyone else for health care per capita and yet our quality of care is trash tier almost across the board. Hell, Cuba is poor as shit and spends peanuts per capita compared to the US and has better life expectancy, infant mortality, and overall outcomes IIRC.
  5. Ollie Gordon threw a whole ass punch right in front of the ref, got flagged for it and didn't get ejected. Game was probably over at that point so it didn't matter, but just more Big 12 refs failing to do their jobs.
  6. I somehow am just now seeing this thread, I'm sorry for you and any others that have had this kind of experience. I'm fortunate to have had mostly positive experiences with mental health care (thanks to friends and family that have been able to point me to actual, real sources of help instead of places like this) but I know that, for the most part, the system is utterly broken and backwards and that we, as a country, for some reason have no interest in investing further in it.
  7. It's genocide 🙂
  8. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-announces-west-bank-settlers-no-longer-face-detention-trial-rcna181464 Just apartheid shit
  9. Watching the St. Joe's/Texas game with my mom who's a huge Horn fan, she has commented on the striped shirts like 30 times. I think she might be going insane.
  10. Boils down to this. It is a statement, nothing more. He won't visit any of those countries, anyway.
  11. Damn we suck!!
  12. Hey, they almost covered.
  13. Yeah I mean obviously there is no meat here. I'm more referring to all the freaks (including United States senators) bleating about how we should invade the Hague over this. Who gives a shit? It's just another way to demonstrate displeasure with Israel's actions.
  14. I agree with you, for sure. I don't think that the perspective that certain people are offering, that the arrest warrants are invalid because they didn't also issue arrest warrants for every other shitty person in the world, is a good one.
  15. He posted a tweet from this straight up Nazi account in the pedo thread in DT: Anyway, nice to see Rex being Bibi's ride or die as usual. Love that some things never change.
  16. THAT'S why you changed your username? You're such a fucking pussy lmao
  17. Says dude who changed his username because people were too mean to him for being a racist pigfucker.
  18. Is this antisemitism? I can't tell
  19. I'm intrigued. Let's see where it goes.
  20. Roast in hell, bitch
  21. Oh look prong is posting tweets from Nazi accounts again, what a shock
  22. Serrano/Taylor was good, too. I feel like people will unfairly judge boxing based on this dogshit title card.
  23. I want the time back they just stole from me Booooooooooooooooring
