Holy fuck. lmao
I love the guy claiming Iranian sanctions are due to them being anti-Israel. Absolutely nothing else Iran has done to earn them. Nope. Not a single issue since 1979 other than being anti-Israel. No other anti-Israel countries that have failed to earn that many sanctions. No difference at all between all these countries.

edit: For clarity of the mockery here, I am, unlike these posters, in general against sanctions for being acts of war and mostly only harming the populations not the states.
How do they square demanding other Islamic nations get involved, but refuse to see religious motivations. Like the Islamic Republic of Iran just so happens to care a lot about human rights or whatever.

They were trying to frame it ethnically as "Arab Solidarity" and completely ignored a guy who pointed out that was an abandoned Nasserite idea from the 1970's nobody in the region subscribes to anymore. lol

This is a failure that will transcend multiple administrations due to the lack of any political will from either Presidential candidate to rein in a rogue nation hellbent on a genocidal conquest based on a frivolous nationalist ideology. It's become more and more difficult to swallow this billowing anger I have at my country. I'm really just at a loss of words at this point.

The irony of that quote is the biggest killers of Muslims are other Muslims. These retards are too stupid to realise that, but anyway...

"For years, Dames has asked his first-years about their favorite book. In the past, they cited books such as Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Now, he says, almost half of them cite young-adult books. Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series seems to be a particular favorite."

Quote:I think almost everything in the article is fine and are legitimate issues, but this part. My god, 100 year old books aren't their favorite? The horror.

Quote:I thought the same fucking thing too. Those previous kids were lying to his ass.

I shouldn't be surprised how genuinely stupid some of ree are, but I often am. Anyone with basic literacy skills would have read that paragraph and understood Dame's concern is that half of his students are citing books aimed at 12 yr olds.

Famously, Iran is an Arab nation and speaks Arabic.
I will say this, they could learn a lot about shitposting from Khamenei but I'm afraid they won't:

Should Khamenei stop posting on Twitter due to Elon's ownership or is it necessary to end Zionism?

the greatest thread in the history of ResetERA.com, locked by a staff member after 11239 pages of heated debate,

6hrs grinding. I've gotten to the mine. Game seems ok. I like the characters and what little combat I've seen, but if I have to grind for longer than 20 minutes just to finish the demo into the trash it goes

Tbf it's more that there's the capacity to grind for 6 extra hours in the demo somehow, it's probably about 4-5 hours max if you're not trying to get every spare second out of it. Game seems good imo.
I think it's been alright so far. I'd probably but it if New World wasn't coming out the week after

If 50% of your DEMO is grinding...holy shit, what the fuck is the rest of the game like?

Completely oblivious to the many unpleasant things she's implying about black americans. 

And also oblivious to the fact that many black americans would completely disagree (Somehow the fact that BossAttack and others come at her--or completely ignore her--as often as they do doesn't register).

We are not a monolith!

MELODY SHREDS GOT MARRIED!!!!!!!!!

Malds wrote:Please help my wife she's a wonderful, sweet and caring person deserving of kindness!

Despite the Shredder...

- Still living with his parents
- Spending most of the day building Gundam toys
- Spending rest of the day playing Persona
- Being forever unemployed
- Constantly begging for money
- Constantly posting about wanting to suicide

and most important of all...

- never having actually physically met his 'wife' except on webcam

The Shredder still got hitched, unlike us forever-aloners on the Bore Doge

From cosplaying as a woman, to cosplaying as someone about to off himself, to now cosplaying as a wife. I'm looking forward to this new season of the Melody Shreds arc.

Soon he'll be cosplaying giving birth to children, cosplaying breast-feeding, cosplaying going through a divorce, cosplaying needing kofi money for custody of imaginary kids...

Edit: Actual footage of Malds in his wedding dress:

even so, maybe we should ask why books supposedly aimed at adults are less entertaining and engaging

"oh you're an adult now, you're above such petty pursuits as being entertained"
Confused

(there are a lot of boring ass children's books too, random slice of life in rural america 1950s where a dog dies or something, and all that makes it a kids' book is that a kid is the main character and the vocabulary is simpler, we don't write successful books like those anymore either)

Hezbollah is building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. They forge their spirits in the same tradition as their ancestors. Hassan Nasrallah is a magnificent leader. He has our gratitude. Let's all give Hassan Nasrallah a great big hand!

But seriously don't go down the trans bsky reskeet rabbit hole like I did. It's nothing but endless begging, boosting grifts, bitching about how no1curr, they're all disabled, and suicide baiting 

And yet NO ONE calls them out on this shitty behavior. It's fucking crazy
So it's weird with malds kofi. Yesterday was like 60% funded, today 27%. Can folks claw back donations, or did malds get the goal n start another $200 beg? Or just reset it

Wuthering Heights probably wasn’t the best comparison he could’ve made, because that’s what people will focus on instead of his experience. If 1st year literature students are citing books aimed at children that’s a problem. When I was in school our teacher read the whole of The Lord Of The Rings to us. Then gave us The Hobbit to read by ourselves. That was a learning experience which I doubt would ever happen today.
There are also interesting, literary, modern books being written all the time. 

Toni Morrison was writing all through the 80s and 90s...those books are short but also extremely accessible and thematically rich. Song of Achilles was written in 2011, and the author is still alive and writing!

It ain't gotta be ancient and dusty Crime and Punishment (though that fucker moves) vs. modern-english YA whatever.
