This is in contrast to a lot of Eastern cooking which has a longer tradition of vegetarian options and are also willing to let "alt proteins" just be proteins which happen to not come from an animal

I'm fairly convinced that the reason this hasn't caught on as much in the West is because in Western cooking purposefully vegetarian main dish options are kind of bad so there's an overreliance on meat substitutes that activates a lot of the RFK Jr.-esque crunchy natural food brainworms

Screenshot of headline that reads, "Haitian man living in Boston dies in ICE custody, family says." Full text linked in reply.

I’m calling on ICE to investigate the death of Emmanuel Damas, a Massachusetts community member who died in ICE custody after being denied timely medical care. His family, and dozens of families like his, deserve the truth about ICE's treatment of their loved ones. ICE must be held accountable.

It's legit crazy how much ppl are glomming onto Israel conspiracy theories when the simple answer is that Trump and Bibi get along because they're thuggish wannabe dictators who both love the idea of killing Muslims.

CENTCOM seeing a meaningless number you can put in a PowerPoint

Perhaps diaspora communities should be given grace and also not granted the presumption of special knowledge or influence around shit happening in the old country, as a general matter.

I think people have witnessed Ukrainians taking a whole of society approach to countering Shaheds and thought that this shit was easy. It is not, Ukrainians are surviving through immense hardships because they have to. There is not other choice for them.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

It’s honestly wild that American media has “are liberals trapped in a bluesky bubble???” debates every two weeks while a 22 year old groyper White House staffer known as BasedBoss1488 remixes scenes from 300 in a propaganda video for a toxically unpopular lame duck president’s war of choice

H*ngarians are robbing gold caravans again

Hungarian government when they detain money collecting vehicles and find money inside

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

both sides are basically playing chicken: the iranians are betting the US will capitulate and quit bombing as the economy shits the bed, and the US is betting the iranians will disintegrate if we keep killing them.

there is no way to climb down from this.

I mean it would be faster to name the guntubers who *aren't* some flavor of nazi or fascist

I think he's Oregon but his group seems to be extremely chudded out in the prepper/militia way rather than the online racist way

I repeat: no one had to push Crusader Pete into this Holy War

haha fuck we're gonna get a guntuber in congress

Please keep in mind that while pro-Israeli voices attempt to manufacture consent for war with a NATO ally, one of these countries (Israel) is currently striking Lebanon & Iran, while Türkiye yesterday was busy neutralizing an ISIS attack in Syria in coordination with the new Syrian government. (1)

You jest but he explicitly lists compliance officers and academic administration as bullshit jobs

yeah wait let me walk that one back a bit, there's probably not a whole lot of footage out of Ukraine for opsec reasons but AFAIK Vampire has not been officially supplied to any other countries in the region and APKWS has been, albeit exclusively for air assets

I'd wager a lot of the shahed intercepts are with APKWS which is comparatively cheap but still involves putting an airframe in the air (I have seen video of APKWS on a truck in Ukraine but it wasn't used as air defense, it was for ground attack)

I mean if we're lobbing tomahawks at a half dozen Shaheds on a rack, yeah that's lopsided but if you're hitting them with a JDAM the shot exchange is probably favorable considering there's a relative lack of low end intercept methods for low end munitions

This is like blatantly not real. It's an 11.7m wingspan aircraft, which would put the resolution well below 10cm

If the former were true, it would honestly be a little bit comforting because it would mean there is an actual plan that centers around concrete political objectives rather than making and distributing snuff films on American taxpayer dollars

It's honestly kind of incredible that some people (not OP, he's making fun of them) are so conspiracy brained they've convinced themselves Trump has a grand plan to manipulate oil prices rather than him being a dumbass who want to kill brown people because it makes his dick hard

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

There's a ton of talk about how CENTCOM is pushing this because of memories of Iranian intervention in Iraq in the 2000s. I might just be a simple country lawyer, but I had long presumed that the purpose of a professional military was to *not* engage in gangbanger bullshit.
