Dude crushed it in WEC! Top of his team, earning props from seasoned drivers (not just daddy Wolff doing his marketing). Lewis, better keep an eye on your seat for 2025!

Scary. The one I found from my city is a medical doctor with a good reputation. Fucking Nazis hiding good.
Since Ariel Sharon, conservative ideologies have been deeply ingrained in Israeli politics, and Netanyahu’s resignation may not bring about a fundamental shift in this longstanding trend.
The political landscape has been characterized by continuity, and despite changes in leadership, the core ideologies often persist. The implications for the lives of Israelis and Palestinians might not undergo a substantial transformation.
Obligatory: Fuck Hamas and Netanyahu
“What we found is that consuming high amounts of ultra-processed foods could increase your risk of developing depression by up to 50%,” said Raaj Mehta, MD, MPH, one of the study’s authors and a gastroenterologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Obligatory: Fuck Nestlé (P&G, Unilever, etc.)
The situation is complex, dating back to British involvement with the Belfort Plan in delineating Israel’s territory. In recent years, a cycle fueled by radicals and right-wing hardliners on both sides has intensified.
Don’t get me wrong, the recent casualties result from pure terrorism and Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorism. Israels retaliation on the other hand as we can see will create a human catastrophe affecting everyone. Hopefully both parties will immediately stop and opt for peaceful dialogue.
Right-wing ideologies have a pattern of shifting narratives, moving from targeting migrants to trans individuals and, historically, escalating to scapegoating Jews. It’s a repetition of history, infiltrating our tolerant societies with intolerance.
Stop supporting these ideologies at the polls. Speak out online. Don’t stay silent. The right appears stronger than it is when a few vocal individuals and bots freely spread their views online.
The political shift India has undergone under Modi is quite concerning. If the reports regarding the murder of the Sikh leader on Canadian soil are accurate, it’s reminiscent of actions one might associate with leaders like Putin.
Autocrats seem to use the same playbook…
Only valid answer. If there’s a valid document stating charity status, no other discussion is needed.
I understand your point, but I respectfully disagree. An internal strife alone doesn’t necessarily lead to military action.
A military conflict involving Taiwan would have global implications, affecting regional stability and the world economy. Xi is fully aware of that and knows that his political power extends only as far as his economy remains stable. Looking at the last BRICS meeting, we see that China is eager to compensate for any economic embargoes with a stable structure and demand from its partners – which, as of today, is still a work in progress.
Furthermore, the Ukrainian war has shown, the West can swiftly mitigate major impacts on its economy (see Germany moving completely away from gas exports from Russia). China is aware of that too and knows that while devastating, the west will work closely together to compensate such an economic distaster and cut ties with China completly.
While the current situation requires vigilance and preparation for the worst, we can at least see that China remains in absolute need of its Western allies, and a military intervention would be a complete disaster, even for Xi.
That’s likely why he’s consolidating power by eliminating political opponents and critics, but history has shown that being blinded by power, as Putin is in the case of Ukraine, leads to devastation.
China still fears economic and military repercussions in the event of an invasion of Taiwan.
As long as its economy is ill due to current factors like inflation, banking instability, and the inflated real estate market, we can assume that a war would be an economic and political shock right now that even Xi might struggle to navigate.
Edit: for everyone disagreeing, every foreign expert is expecting a war, and even the current US deterrence (criticized here as escalation) is not enough for most experts.

We are over the edge of no return.
We should stop begging for change and act now. Politics must hurt them with reforms, taxes, and the rule of law.
We cannot stop climate change now, but we can try to de-accelerate by fighting against big oil, corrupt politics, and billionaire newspapers supporting them.
We are somehow still not panicking and see that as a point of no return for climate change. These temperatures are still the lowest ones we will experience from now on.
Hopefully, some ignorant people or even climate change deniers will switch their positions and actually support green policies now.
He was prime minister from 2003 to 2014 before initiating a constitutional referendum, creating a presidential system for him in 2014. Ball slapping happened 4 years into his prime minister government.
