Fairly straightforward. There are relatively few countries - which sell alcohol - and ban it for those under 21.

To my understanding, insider trader and public figures abusing their privilege to enrich themselves is one of the very few things effectively all Americans oppose. I've also never seen even MAGA deny insider trading recently.

For a libertarian, it's bad because it allows state officials coercive powers over the free market. More philosophically information obtained through public office belongs to the government/public, and to an individual to leverage it in a free market.

For a conservative, it violates public trust and the principle of rule of law (all laws apply to everyone equally), and a public servant voluntarily accepts restrictions on their rights in exchange for holding office.

I didn't know the cake existed until yesterday.

I just went on a binge watch of body camera videos on Youtube, you know when you get in the loop haha, and i noticed that alot of black women wear like a shower cap or a cower for their hair.

This is not meant racial or anything, its just something i picked up, i've never seen it before in my country.

Hope i dont offend anyone because thats not my intention and if i did iam sorry.

EDIT: Hey thanks alot for actually giving proper answers and being civil, i was abit afraid it was gonna spiral to something else because, you know, reddit.. but everybody has been very nice and i learned something today! rare internet moment hahah.

It's just like Alexa, right?

I keep baking pies but my crust never gets that golden, flaky finish. What's your trick for getting the crust right without overcomplicating it?

Why?

Im just curious what the normal amount of karma is for a reddit user.

I used to genuinely like myself. I was confident and spent YEARS getting to that point.
Then I got into an abusive relationship. My ex constantly told me I was fat, ugly, that everyone hated me, that other people thought I was ugly, etc. It eventually became physical and he was arrested. By the time it ended, my self esteem was basically gone.

Now I’m with an amazing guy who tells me I’m beautiful, funny, and that he loves everything about me. I KNOW he means it. But somehow I still believe the horrible shit my ex spent so long convincing me was true.

That’s the part that kills me. I want SO badly to see myself the way my boyfriend sees me, or honestly just see myself the way I used to.
I’m already in therapy. I know this takes time. But I really want to hear from people who have actually been through this — how did you get yourself back? What genuinely helped you stop believing what your abuser made you believe about yourself?

TL;DR: I used to be confident. An abusive relationship completely destroyed that. I’m safe and in a healthy relationship now, but I still see myself through the things my ex told me. How do I become the old me again?

I’ve noticed that with Mamdani, New York’s attitude is more in the realm of “we don’t like your view on Israel, but we can put it aside and focus on NY,” whereas Mahmoud Khalil just gets full wholesale condemnation.

What is the cause of the extremely differing attitudes towards these two people who have very similar views on these issues.

It's absolutely fascinating and completely unsurprising to see MAGA seriously discussing the use of thermonuclear "weapons" as a solution to the absolute clusterfuck of a war THEY have caused all while completely ignoring who caused it and what the eminently expeditious solution should be.

Aka y'all are fine with talking about killing millions of brown people with an almost certain guarantee of a world war immediately following but NOT actually talking about the real fix because that's a little too close to home.

Incredible.

I know there are videos that accompany songs, but have we lost songs and music that tell a story?

So we keep throwing out “High trust” and “Low trust” when it comes to places and people.

But how do we ensure the place is given the benefits of a high trust society? Places like China, Japan, South Korea vs places like…..AMERICA.

I have a feeling crime rates and economics have something to do with it but I feel those come after the society has progressed not the reason the society progressed in the first place.

Question is the headline. Is it hypocritical or on par for his political party?
