15·5 months agoSince individuals aren’t 501©3 non-profits it wouldnt be tax deductible and is treated by the IRS as a gift, so a gift tax may apply depending on amount given. Just in case you were curious as to why it’s not a tax write-off.
13·6 months agoPropaganda does not have to have a hidden agenda. Literally the “I want you” uncle Sam poster is propaganda. That agenda was pretty obvious, there was no question who was behind it and it was pretty clear why it was commissioned in the first place.
There has been propaganda encouraging car-pooling, reusing materials, conserving electricity, promoting employment etc, and many of them even had credits as to who the message was coming from.
Propaganda is not inherently evil, but it’s important to understand the context and where it’s coming from.
It already is an option in certain states in the US and I think parts of Europe.
52·7 months agoProblem drinking and alcoholism aren’t the same though. 9 out of 10 excessive drinkers aren’t alcohol dependent. So yeah, while many people who at some point have a problem with drinking can learn to moderate without future issues, I don’t know if most of them would fall into the alcohol dependency category.
When I replied, you didn’t have all of that info in there. Good for you though, if it works then great!
Yeah I’m going to have to agree. I’m an alcoholic myself and this is a problematic way of living with it. Moderation seldom works for alcoholics as it is and by putting your choice to drink on someone else’s offerings seems to just be a way to escape any blame should it end in full relapse.
Everybody’s journey is different though so I’m not going to judge. But at no point was I able to stop drinking until I straight stopped drinking. As they say “one drink is too much and a hundred isn’t enough.”

Don’t forget a charger, otherwise you’ll be screwed for awhile
Scanning your own ID probably won’t be a thing since it won’t be able to determine whether the ID belongs to you or not.
113·7 months agoCounter argument, Russian interference and political undermining has a direct and indirect influence on global politics.
“Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.”
That’s a funny way to say “murder”…
It’s the 10th amendment. All other 9 amendments and many thereafter are in relation to human rights.
And states rights and human rights can actually go hand in hand, as seen by state legislatures that have passed assisted suicide, same-sex marriage, and legal cannabis laws. It has also been used to ensure electors cast their vote for the nominee or candidate who received the most votes from the people.
Unfortunately it’s also been co-opted as a racist, misogynist dog whistle.
I’m seeing between 3 and 6 killed reported by the Independent, Al Jazeera, and others that I havent heard of before mostly citing Comittee to Protect Journalists. Mohammad Salhi is the only one that I can see is definitely confirmed.

By that thought process, wouldn’t these people more likely to have their hidden phone discovered by spontaneous Amber Alerts? Those come with no warning, whereas the NAS did come with a heads up.
That’s literally how every place with a night shift operates.
They took a holiday about an Italian who had nothing to do with the US much like that man took indigenous people prisoners? That’s what didn’t sit right with you? So weird to think an Italian funded by the Spanish was somehow important enough to a country that didn’t exist for another 300 years that the government made it a federal holiday.
More time passed between him erroneously finding the Americas and the signing of the Declaration of Independence than the US has even been around.
Man, now there’s a name and book I haven’t thought about in awhile. Might be time for a reread!
Where are you that indie coffee shops aren’t open at 6am? I just looked at all the coffee shops near me and they all open 6:30 or earlier except for one located inside a mall.
Do you have a Microcenter near you? Their prices are usually the best I’ve found. They have some shippable gaming laptops that just barely miss the specs or price target you have from what I saw but it’s worth looking into.
