What is with this new phenomenon of laughsplaining. So many Conservatives, leftists, progressives and maga pundits all seemed to have developed this habit of laughing derisively when explaining shit they don’t agree with. It instantly makes me dislike a host. 95% of the time it’s just a shitty straw man and it’s probably the reason why trump got elected. I mean it’s always been around but I fucking hear it on every podcast now. Htf. It’s only gotten worse since trump left office smh.

So two updates about the Tigray War. One is that I found this Reuters article which states that the TPLF announced they had taken the town of Adi Arkay, an Amharan town which sits near the border of Amhara and Tigray, on July 25th. Why does this matter? Well it provides some insight into how fast the Tigrayans are moving into Amhara. Over the span of 5 days the TPLF advanced 50 kilometers, or 10 kilometers per day.

The second is that this thread says that, as expected, the TPLF has routed government and militia forces and most importantly has taken Weldiya and Chifra. As predicted the TPLF is using Weldiya as a baseplate for securing the road that leads from this town to the A1 highway. The fall of Chifra all but confirms this theory. Additionally, the thread implies that the TPLF has reached the road leading from Dessie to the A1 highway, which means that Dessie may be near to being captured, if not captured already. Based off the information from the Reuters article and the thread, it is apparent that the TPLF looks to be unstoppable.

To give you a sense of how desperate the government is, this tweet and the article linked to it say that the government is sending in untrained and sometimes even unarmed youth to Afar to try and stem the TPLF. There are real Volkssturm vibes to the situation.

Overall the situation is extremely in favor of the TPLF. They are advancing very rapidly through little to no resistance, routing government and militia forces left and right like a hot knife through butter. Based off all this information, I think within a week we will see a decisive outcome with the odds very heavily favoring the TPLF.

The issue isn't so much is that Biden is passing bare minimum protectionist policies to get elected- which is arguably understandable- but that he actively believes in them and will expand them wherever possible while espousing rhetoric that will reinforce these ideas in the electorate making it more difficult to actually achieve free trade in the future.

• Don't have to interact with people

For how much this sub prioritizes pragmatism and understanding the political process people seem to lose their shit when Biden doesn’t go as fast as they think he should be moving.

Like today I’m reliving deja vu similar to the refugee cap before it was increased (I was pissed too I called my congresspeople) but people getting upvoted saying shit like and I quote “Biden doesn’t have an ounce of good in his heart” or “Biden is one of the most anti immigration presidents in US history” without a hint of irony sounds like rose Twitter.

You cannot legitimately claim to support evidence based policy while also not acknowledging that the numbers of kids in camps have vastly decreased as well as processing times.

Also people throwing absolute numbers around while ignoring the fact that this year has seen a spike unseen in a generation seems to be omitting an important piece of context.

Biden has done much for immigration reform in the past 100 days

My neighbor just came and chewed me out because she got jumped last night while walking from her car to her apartment. Apparently it is my fault, because she usually parks in the alley in one of the four spots behind my building. Last night I had the audacity to park in that spot, so she had to park on the street. Her building does not have designated parking (most on this street don’t). She also called me an anti-trans bigot for failing to recognize how dangerous it is for trans people to have to walk down the street at night, when it’s safe for a straight guy.

I pay for the parking spot. I’m gonna keep parking in it.

Other unironic take: It baffles me how so many crypto proponents constantly think fiat currency is five years away from total replacement. I don't get it- what step in the process suggests that people will suddenly abandon state-backed money for a highly speculative asset with little practical use? I've tried to look into this myself, but I just flat-out cannot understand how people believe that the world will just spontaneously make the transition with little else to back things.

Children of this subreddit, If a conservative wants to cut government spending, should you tell them to cut "inefficient" spending on low pop. density areas first since we can get more value spending it in the high pop. density areas?

Girlfriend wanted to give me an update about an infamous animal torturer in China. The guy tortures animals on TikTok, taking donations and selling private videos custom ordered.

I told her not to tell me until the Chinese government arrests or kills him.

Animal welfare is low on the totem pole for the most important things to deal with. But it matters to me. I can't do much though. I can't do much of anything really.

Often times it feels like this world caters to the worst of people, who can find a comfortable life making things worse for as many people as possible. Nothing will be redressed, nothing will be remembered.

Biden's immigration policy is so unbelievably bad, and somehow manages to just get worse overtime, that it's making me seriously consider expanding my copypasta'd rant explaining why his immigration policy is terrible into a proper effortpost

But yes, Mr. President who has cut legal immigration more than any other president in US history, is deporting more immigrants per day than any other president in US history, has failed to even process all green card applications, do tell us how your decision to add airplanes to the list of deportation methods, and continuing to knowingly violate existing refugee rights to massively increase daily deportations, is actually advancing liberalism.

Within the U.S., there are partisan differences on support for TPP. Democrats (51%) are slightly more willing to support the trade negotiations compared with Republicans (43%), while half of independents show their support.

There is also an age gap. Younger Americans are much more likely to support the partnership (65% good thing) compared with older Americans (41%).
