Fighting proxy wars against Russia is kind of our bread and butter, we've been doing it for decades and nearly always win. Russia on the other hand has had far more success with injecting propaganda in Western institutions, recruiting

Alternate interpretation, Russia has been giving Trump money for a long time, ergo Trump supports Russia and everyone around him who has seen his rise as an opportunity to gain power goes along with it, even if 18 months ago they were on th

This is so much worse than 9-11, so, so much worse. Maybe the first tower still has yet to fall, maybe the fireball has faded and the firefighter are climbing the stairs and you think they'll soon be able to rescue you, but the fire is

You’re really trying to have it both ways here. Only Manhattan counts as the city. Brooklyn is Long Island. The outer boroughs were added for political reasons centuries after the city was established. UWS is one of, if not the most tranqui

Well I’ve got you beat by over a decade. It happens, and it happens all the time. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you actually live in Brooklyn, in or near Williamsburg, and not in the city.

London in particular is a great example because the two cities are similar in many ways. London for sure has its share of junkies and hooligans, and I even hear people complaining about it using almost word for word identical language, but

I did, still have property there in fact, and hope to return someday, but no time soon. What you are saying is absolutely correct. Crime is rampant and goes completely unreported, due to some mix of people being desensitized and the feelin

In reality the number is far higher than that, it just doesn’t get reported. On any given ride you have a pretty high likelihood of have “an incident” with a deranged member of the public, and your odds skyrocket if you’re a woman. Multiple

This is definitely not the case. Half these people had no connection whatsoever to “cultural doctrine” and a number were extremely conservative and completely mainstream before they started smoking late in life. As I mentioned one takes thi

Conspiracy theories. Every heavy pot smoker I know has ended up believing in multiple conspiracy theories. Back in the day before YouTube my friends were burning DVDs of 9-11 Truther documentaries, a chick I dated became obsessed with UFOs

Even if they managed to find 100% savings in the spending they are targeting, they will not make a dent in the budget. Doing that and cutting all military spending would not balance the budget. Most Federal discretional spending is on Socia

The solution to most social media problems in general is: `select * from posts where author_id in @follow_ids order by date desc` At least 90% of the ills of social media are caused by using algorithms to prioritize content and determine wh

This is an insightful breakdown, though I think it leaves out the option I would have chosen. A small business run by a human who is physically present is going to make different decisions that are better for the community. I have to say th
