He estado practicando español todos los días por cuatro o cinco meses... leer y escribir... Pero la fluidez parece tan lejana. Sigo adelante de todos modos.
I'd love to see a venn diagram of the crossover between people who say things like "In this house we believe science is real!!" and people who believe in astrology.
Uhhh.. where are you getting this information?
August 6, 1945: Hiroshima
August 9, 1945: Nagasaki
August 14, 1945: Japan surrenders
I'm so sorry 😞
Make sure your last moments count, and give her some belly rubs from us.
Lollll cope harder and enjoy your crude wooden shaft
True, it's very easy to look at what they did and cast condemnations. I've thought about this quite a lot, and when I was younger I couldn't even fathom attempting to justify it. I always wondered why they didn't just drop it off the coast or something to showcase what they could do.
Think about this though... it took *two* direct atomic bombings to get the emperor to surrender.
Not one. Two.
That means they saw the absolute devastation and annihilation of the first bomb, and said "nah, we're not phased, we're staying the course". There is no reasoning with that level of devotion.
What would be the next step then? An invasion, more war, more "conventional" bombings and dead civilians. WWII already killed tens of milllions, and it could have easily been much higher.
Not saying if I were in control I would have done the same thing with certainty, but I at least understand the reasoning now.
Hear hear! CBC can eat shit.
Reddit was *insanely* astroturfed during that period. I left years ago because of it (among many other reasons). I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of active users were/are bots & NGOs.
Normalization is the name of the game. It's what they're counting on.
Stay strong, fight with every fibre of your being, be creative, and make allies.
Brazil is under open communist rule... I'm not optimistic for them
I think this is a win-win.
On one hand, it will make people "wtf" and make our gov't corruption more obvious to the population.
On the other, Canadian news is mostly state propaganda and won't be shown on FB.

It speaks volumes that you even need to frame it in those terms to make a point that should be common sense.
Pretty sure Coracle has that
With option #2 you could do other things, like freelance (doesn't pay great usually) or start a side gig.
One thing I've been wanting to do is take up blacksmithing and make trinkets to sell. People love buying ornamental things. Could sell for BTC also.
It's kind of sad.. I don't think Iris supports emojis yet.
So what I have to do is web search the one I want, and copy/paste into here.
I feel like such a fraud 😅
That's an odd one.
Not 100% sure, but If it were me, it would be because I was just trying to keep things amicable/friendly.. Or more likely just keeping you somewhat engaged without putting in any actual effort in case I need to fall back on you in the future🤷
