  • Iran has been supplying Shahed drones to the Russian military since the start of the conflict. Ukraine told them to stop supplying Russia with the very weapons that enable Russia to strike their cities.

    Ukraine didn’t go out of their way to start attacking random ships or murder Iranian citizens, or even attack their infrastructure. They sank a ship carrying weapons that Russia was intended to use to hurt them. That’s pretty justifiable.


  • I’m sorry bud, but this is an absolutely ridiculous take.

    Russia has been using Iranian Shahed drones to conduct nearly all of their long range drone attacks. In return, Russia has been supplying Iran with Intelligence on the US.

    Ukraine didn’t just randomly attack a cargo ship. They are effectively preventing Russia from acquiring weapons. Ukraine warned Iran to stop supporting Russia with drones and to not escalate their support. Iran didn’t listen.

    This has everything to do with defense.





  • I have been directing my “rage” at the article by saying it’s ragebait. I’m annoyed with you because your missing the fact that it’s manufactured rage bait and your feeding into it by spreading it.

    I live in a big city. And guess what? We aren’t cool with drugs here, and so we don’t have fucking zombie streets here.

    Yeeaaaaahhh, you probably do. It’s just not on one of the streets you drive by or you’re just not aware of it. Not every city has a place like the Tenderloin in San Fran, but it’s prevalent in literally every city. Hell, if you check out the American Addiction Center website, San Francisco is actually ranked as one of the cities with the lowest drug use in the nation.



  • This shit is in literally every city. Does it exist in every street? No. Not even remotely, but there’s absolutely an area or two where they tend to hang out at - outside of shelters, or in areas where police have “permitted” their existence there. Even in San Francisco, there’s like a couple areas that are “bad” but my god y’all act like the entirety of San Francisco is that way…it’s not.

    The entire point of your posted article/video is manufactured rage. I would never walk with me and my daughter down one of these streets. They purposely recorded their “innocent, young” daughter to walk down that street so they could film something to manipulate gullible people like you into feeling anger over the state of things, like it’s some simple black and white issue. There’s never any nuance with conservative arguments, there never can be. The drug epidemic is bad due to the rise in Fentanyl in general and that shit is prevalent in many rural counties too, but you don’t see it reported, because there isn’t as big of a concentration of people…it’s not as noticeable. If there was an “easy fix” to the drug epidemic it would have been done decades ago…but it’s not. It’s an insanely complex issue.

    I just hit no tip and say thanks! And walk out. It’s not difficult.

    What are they going to do? Make a scene? I pray they would.

    I’m sorry, you tell me what fucking service I’m tipping you for? Do you tip your plumber? Do you tip the attendant at a roller coaster at a theme park? Do you tip front desk attendant at a hotel? No…pray tell, why do you think you need a tip for pouring me two-hour old hot bean water? Did you grind it by hand at my request? Did you personally see to it that I received only the very best beans at ye Starbucks roasteries? No? Then fuck off.


  • This is how we’ve ended up with 17 different attempts at the fucking Fantastic Four. Each one is shit, and EVERY director thinks that they’ve got the chops to make it work.

    Hollywood…please…fucking stop. It doesn’t get better. It’s a cursed movie. Stop fucking trying to get the Fantastic Four to work. Just…put the poor thing out of its misery and let it sleep peacefully.
