“Conservative estimate” Pay attention to that phrase Because the “6 million jews” everyone has heard about the nazis is also a conservative estimate. Why? Cause when you do the math from the testimonies, trains so many days a week how many trains each time, how many cars on the train, how many on each car, the numbers skyrocket WAY past the estimates on most breakdowns. Add in the crematoriums and there is very little else to corroborate just how many were killed. The mass graves though? Hell yeah you can count the victims. It’s gonna take a while and NO ONE’S gonna like the number but it can be done. In short its bad But Trebinka 2 was found. All of the Syrian mass graves can and should be found.

One thing that's always amazed me about America. Is how I can see the rich all the time saying they don't need socialism they don't need this. The government shouldn't be giving handouts. So when the government comes up with a system that is able to help poor people, I'm always seeing these rich people taking advantage of the system to make more money for themselves. And then when the poor people complain it's go screw yourselves. Basically saying you're poor so you don't need any help. I'm rich so I should get the help. And all that help is them making more money for themselves. While you have the poor who are basically saying I need this to live. America seems like a country that's getting more and more corrupt from an outsider's view.

Former CVS employee for 2 years here. It was a terribly profit driven experience. Constantly pushing unrealistic goals from understaffed areas and constantly throwing new tasks at an unchanging staff and expecting them to keep up. Even as a technician I was constantly catching myself making mistakes that could have hurt someone if I or the pharmacist didn’t catch them. Through the whole two years they never made it easier, just added more tasks and expectations.

[@itsgingervitis69]

I'm a former cvs employee as well at their specialty medication location. It got so bad we literally had managers following FedEx and ups trucks to hand them medication packages for mail order.

@@jollyjackassunder normal circumstances I’d agree but the interest on the debt is what the deal breaker is for me cause a “no cap” debt limit sounds nice it’s only reasonable when the capability to pay it off is there and sadly at this point it would be an absolute struggle to get to the point where the US would be capable of doing so. Honestly there’s only 1 option of how to handle the US debt that would actually be at least tolerable for the average American citizen and I can almost guarantee that the government won’t choose that one. People sadly aren’t too aware of what an uncontrolled debt would actually mean for them but I’d at least hope that people can understand that it wouldn’t be good for them in pretty much any case.

[@sws212]

​@@jollyjackass The debt ceiling is just a hard limit on spending, meant to create uncomfortable situations where the government has to either cut spending or raise revenue, the latter they've refused to do for years because it requires higher taxes for rich people and you can only cut so much without eventually raising taxes. Having excessive high debt is not good for any country and removing the cap is just his way of getting unlimited power before he reinstates the ceiling as he leaves. There's zero negotiation needed with democrats now since he has a house and senate majority.

[@desperadox7565]

Some things can't (and shouldn't) be forgiven.

[@JakeRayTM]

​​@@desperadox7565and this response is how wars happen based on grudges going back and forth for several centuries, affecting future generations and killing thousands and thousands of innocent people. There's a reason diplomacy and forgiveness is so important. Because the world isn't black or white. This is not to deny any atrocities done, but at some point, a society has to move on, and that either happens by complete eradication of EVERYONE but one group, or it moves on by acknowledging and forgiving the past, and growing as a united and sympathetic group.

A rich man-child from South Africa should have *ZERO* influence in the U.S. Congress passing a budget. The fact that so many elected officials folded because he threw a fit is an embarrassment to U.S. politics. If the government shuts down because of these spineless cowards, not a single one of the officials who folded should be allowed back in office. You represent the American people, not an individual foreign billionaire

Syria still has at least a decade more of fighting left in order to get its neighbors to believe they're a country that can exist rather than free territory that just has squatters. I hope they can hold and give a new chance for a government that actually wants to help its people. Idk if they will, but it's already known that both Israel and Turkey wouldn't be kind to Syrians, so this new group is currently the only chance

[@ribottostudio]

That Superman trailer damn near made me cry. It kinda reminds me of a mix of "My Adventures with Superman" and "Smallville". I'm glad for a hopeful Superman. I know people will say "but man of steel was made to be realistic". This is a story of a boy with extraordinary powers from another world who became a man who would cherish ours. What about that is "realistic"? What concept of any comic story is "realistic"? What we connect with is the being behind the mask. Their humanity. They can be as fantastical as you like. But they're still relatable because we connect to their experiences. And Superman's experiences tell us that despite everything....you can still hope. Hope that things get better. That you can be "the boy scout". You can be good. And kind. And I think the world could use a little hope right now.

It's truly helped me to decipher what is what when it comes to the news. Seeing your channel transform from what it once was to what it is today, is nothing short of incredible.

You can pay Guinness to create whatever record you fancy at any given point. One of the more egregious examples I can think of is when Paramore did it for the "Ain't It Fun" music video. The Beast crew probably handed Guinness $250,000 and told them these are the records we want to create/break.

Wait, the government cares that CVS is a shitty employer? Because they've been that way forever, I worked in a CVS pharmacy for years and despite being hired as a "full time" tech, somehow, no matter how many shifts I picked up, I always average just below the minimum to qualify for benefits (meaning I couldn't even afford to get the meds I was filling). But it's not a secret. Neither is their insane focus on metrics. I don't even understand how CVS can deny it, walk into one of their pharmacies for an hour and see for yourself.
