6/21 was a Saturday, 6/30 was a Monday

We still have all of July, August and September and most of October to go…

You do realize the people doing that in the US all came from Europe

I tend to agree with you. At the back of my mind, I’m wondering if Trump has the chaotic energy to accidentally break up calcified conflicts and actually make a difference on this one

Nearly half the investors who have applied hail from the US, representing 85 applications, followed by China, 26, and Hong Kong, 24. Residents from countries across Asia and Europe make up the rest of the applicants.

“Flock” lmao

The US Navy can try their very best to keep that strait open, but they simply cannot stop 100% of commercial vessels from being attacked when there are hostile groups on both sides of the strait with significant missile capabilities. US naval vessels themselves will become targets, and there would likely be some costly US losses. Regardless, the increased risk of traversing the strait will have an immediate impact on oil prices, even if no ships are actually blocked

The the straights closed not be

I recognize the reality of the world is grey, rather than black or white. Given the awful things both nations have engaged in, when someone launches into a virulent pro-Israel/anti-Iran diatribe, you can bet I have questions about their motivation

I’m curious what drives a person to write this much on this topic on lemmy

Can you give some examples? I think I keep up with world news and am genuinely at a loss for what you’re talking about

Is free trade an attempt at no control? You’ll find a lot of people who disagree with you, especially on the left. I’m just saying I think your argument is a serious oversimplification.

Why did China have tariffs on these nations to begin with?

Its important to note this fly has existed for millions of years laying its eggs in the flesh of mammals in the Americas, and that this has little to do with how we treat animals

Either delusional thinking or a serious misunderstanding of historical events

I worked inpatient psych for a long time, and can tell you first-hand the link between psychosis and cannabis is real. No, this does not mean “if you smoke weed you’re going to get psychotic!” What it does mean is that if you’re someone with a genetic predisposition for schizophrenia (e.g. you have a known family history) weed is a potential trigger for a psychotic episode. If someone has already developed schizophrenia, smoking weed can make their symptoms worse and more difficult to manage with medications.

80% of people coming through the psych hospital, whatever, I don’t care if you smoke weed. Honestly, I wish people would smoke weed rather than use meth, K2, or a bunch of other drugs that fuck people up. But for that subset of people prone to psychotic episodes, the conversation centers around “some people can smoke weed and be fine, and you are not one of those people.”

The most common ages for men to develop first episode psychosis are 18-25, and while it’s dumb that this article focuses on teenagers, the risk in that age group is genuinely higher. This article really is dumb overall and does not explain any of this well
