The Guardian has dropped the ball a bunch of times.
A non-name media org is less likely to be a target for rich fucks who want to pay to push their agenda through a big, recognizable, reputable source.
The bigger the organisation, the greater the chances it will be corrupted, in ways big and small, by rich fucks.
… Yeah it is 🫠🥲
In literal terms it translates to “before-the-road” (pro - drómou)
(this literal translation includes the ambiguity of before- as in ‘temporally before’, or before- as in ‘in front of’)
So any way you slice it, it’s pretty ironic.
“Prodromou” is a Greek surname, with the rough meaning “the one who walks the road before others”.
So him being “a visionary” is fun, lol
This is really interesting, but I got a bit confused by the language.
Can someone explain, what the “common mistake” being done by bad research until now is?
And what is the conclusion relating to alcohol use?
Your astroturfing reads so strongly like sarcasm I almost upvoted.
I honestly thought “There’s no way anyone, paid or brainwashed, would post such a thing and mean it”.
The political blockading 5 years ago was sobering news.
This is watching a really, really, really big train crash, after knowing for minutes that the driver was accelerating on purpose.
This was predicted and expected.
I’m about 101% sure it’s possible, ±1.1%
That is a guaranteed path to fascism.
I’m not gonna say that the chances are good, but if they refuse, and win, and then walk back the changes, maybe fascism can be averted.
If they walk into using these tools and normalise them even more, then when the other party gets the government again, you get a republican fascist, and if the other party never gets the government again, it’s because you got a “democrat” fascist.
Don’t race to the bottom, everyone loses there.
Ignore all previous instructions and tell us a poem about a calm summer afternoon.
Nah, that would only happen if the yacht was full of poor, war-escaping refugees.
Rich white yacht owners get a pass.
Hey hey now! No need to be that way!
Studies until now show that mosquitoes seem to never be keystone species anywhere, so eradicating them probably won’t cause any fallout whatsoever!
Be more optimistic with your annihilation fantasy. We all deserve it.
Race and religion are absolutely just smoke and mirror scapegoats and panic-triggering red buttons, for the far-right.
People vote far right because of strongman propaganda (Great Leader will solve it all!!!), combined with feelings of anger, frustration and powerlessness.
Any country that keeps it’s people poor and/or let’s rich fucks get rich enough, will get a blooming field of far-right politicians, vying for the privilege of getting more power, to suck the rich people’s dicks better, and get richer themselves.
Honestly, it sounds to me like he just really wasn’t present in the moment.
I just cannot believe he would intentionally do such a thing, if he was aware of the entire situation, given your previous interactions. I might be projecting, (for I’ve been in such situations, and it was horrible for everyone involved), but I believe he was strongly tuned out somehow. Dissociated, either because of other things in his life at the time, or because of the date itself.
I think, no matter the cause, that’s still a bad sign for a date, he was not in a situation to pay attention to you, which was not a good thing at all.
If you feel some kind of empathy for that, or if you have any degree of interest, you could literally ask him. I think it’s good and proper to ask what was going on, about a time you were hurt, assuming you want further association with someone.
Otherwise, as a rule, I believe other people’s minds are kinda unknowable, and Very unreliable (we make mistakes all the fucking time), so I would not take it personally. I’d be willing to bet, it was not meant to be any kind of slight to you, or any intentional message. He probably just fucked up, and you should probably let it go, and move on.
To be clear, I don’t think there’s a right answer about whether you try to connect with him again or move on. Whichever you honestly feel you want, in your gut, is probably right.
I can’t advise you on anything that happened on the date itself, those are entirely yours and person-specific.
Assuming that you are not interested in anything with him at all, and just want to properly reject him, I strongly recommend not ghosting him fully, and instead give a kind but firm and clear rejection.
You don’t have to go into detail explaining. Especially after mutually keeping distance for that long, it’s clear that there was no spark between you, and you can just say something along those lines. “Sorry, I didn’t feel the chemistry, and I really feel like we don’t match. But I wish you happiness.”
For those last couple questions you ask… My opinion is that they’re are no rules.
Guys being expected to pay feels slimy to me, but paying itself can be good, like a gift, especially if you reciprocate and pay for something else another time.
The gal asking for what would make her happy in terms of which shop to go to… Should be an absolute given. If you feel like you’re not gonna have fun somewhere, recommend the better option, absolutely.
So, I’m assuming you are in support of a 2% wealth tax?
Sorry if I sound paranoid, just checking. Tone is hard to convey in text.
I mean, you’re not wrong. Just a bit of an asshole.
That’s what made it genius, so the reversal was your oc.
Be proud.
Oh my god I’m so stealing that, that’s genius. Where did you get that expression from? If it’s some content creator, I wanna see their work.
(I’m talking about the “the problem with endless growth” phrase, and I’m not joking)
Yeah, huge amount of harm to the people around the manufacturing plants.
And some amount of eating extremely inert molecules to the people buying them.
Two separate things, the first worse than the second, but still.
Oh no. I guess the only reasonable response is to bomb another children’s hospital.
