Got a pixel 7 too, and it's my first pixel so I was hyped, but it is by far the worst android phone I've ever had. The number of bugs I've ran into is mind boggling. Everything fails every now and then, not just the Bluetooth. I've had random restarts, alarms that just don't go off, of course the BT and more. I've had different budget Xiaomi and OnePlus models which have all been far superior to this piece of garbage. All that hype of pixels being the only good Android phones just down the drain.

Agreed. The person I was replying to took the initial comment regarding nation karma for the US very personally and started ranting that he didn't deserve this shit. No one blamed him, and I was trying to convey the same thing that you wrote: it doesn't matter that we were not personally responsible for the historical crimes our nations committed, if the current society we live in still bases its wealth on what was stolen. We'd be indirectly benefitting from those crimes and therefore would have a responsibility to acknowledge that and try to do what we can to even things out if and when we can. Rejecting all links to those historical crimes and any responsibility for them can come across as arrogant to those on the other side of that equation, those who were robbed. But the person started hurling insults so I was obviously unable to communicate what I wanted to communicate.
Iran got involved in Syria to fight IS, the same people that rebranded as HTS, the leader of which now has put on a suit, changed his name and rules the new Syria. One of the first thing they did: started massacring minorities in Syria by the thousands, just in the last week. Also, Syria is in the Middle East, next to Iran. Iran isn't involved in military operations in Mexico. If IS wasn't stopped in Iraq and Syria, they'd be massacring civilians in Iran, since Iranians are Shia and therefore heretics to be killed.
Your view unfortunately seems to have been influenced by the classification of nations as axis of evil that I referred to above. It's confused and incoherent, and lacks a whole lot of nuance. That's what happens when nations are classified as "evil", which is a metaphysical religious term making nuance impossible. You say "if Palestine were suddenly freed from the Zionists", thereby implying that you consider this a worth while goal, while simultaneously vilifying the only forces in the region working to achieve that liberation, namely Hamas, Hizbollah and Ansar Allah in Yemen, as "proxy armies" of Iran, completely delegitimizing their agency and the fight for the very liberation you seem to support.
Finally, it's absolutely wild to state that a Palestine under the influence of Iran would be "the same shit all over again" as the almost century long oppression, occupation, dispossession and genocide carried out by the Zionists against the Palestinian people. Absolutely wild! I urge you to take a step back and consider that statement, and why you would make such an absurd and outrageous claim to begin with. Because I feel like you're doing that without thinking about it a whole lot, and would reconsider that position if you thought about the comparison you're making. Iran has zero designs on dispossessing or occupying Palestine and its people. To compare that with what Israel has been doing is just not a good look.
Comparing Iran to Russia and the US is strange in every way. Iran has a very defensive military, geared towards defending Iran. There aren't exactly private military contractors from Iran everywhere just murdering anyone that isn't snow white. Iran hasn't surrounded the US with military bases. People just completely swallowed that axis of evil horseshit.
"Axis of evil" was a phrase coined by W in order to justify his highly illegal "war on terror", and we're still paying the price for that. Just adopting a propaganda concept this stupid as a viable way to categorize nations is not a good move.
You're screaming "fuck off, I don't deserve any of this because those thefts were carried out before I was 18", but you're screaming that sitting on the stolen furniture in a stolen house. The crimes mentioned predating your eighteenth birthday doesn't mean shit when you're still benefiting from the results of those crimes.
He's just thankful that Jeffrey was the man who introduced his brother Kimbal and his girlfriend. So Elon's sister in law is from the old Epstein stable. Keep it in the family.
"Be quiet, small man" sounds like a thing Dennis would scream at Mac in IASIP 😄 THE GOLDEN GOD! Dude is copying a comically psycho character from a show, thinking he's being sooo cool 😎
I don't think that Russia would be giving up Crimea in any case, regardless of who's in the Whitehouse. The Donbas is a different question, they probably would've been prepared to give them back in whole or in part in negotiations, but I don't think Crimea would've ever been up for negotiations.

This is part one of "the botany of desire", exploring how four plants, apples, tulips, cannabis and potatoes have adapted to human desires, which in turn has made them some of the most successful plant species around the world. The rest of the parts are on Dailymotion too for those interested.
He's been leaning that way for well over a decade, long before Spotify. Just have a look at the guest lists. Same with Elon, he's been a tool forever. I don't know why many seem to believe this is a recent development, it's just escalated a couple of notches in the past 4-5 years.
