Look, if you want your drugs that you need to live to be available, then they need to be so expensive that you can't afford them. That's just how the world works.

The effeminate woke US military is mad at the Russians for dumping fuel in the ocean not for attacking their equipment. It is Bok, who is a far right dumbass. Given the current trajectory of the MAGA crowd, he'll likely start making strong manly Putin propaganda in an other month or two.

Putin shirtless, glistening, standing astride the ocean like Colossus, great brimming barrels of petrol pouring from his muscled arms into the churning waters below. Sinking in the inky morass, pleading for the strongman's mercy, a thousand wokester sailors, their hair shocking ugly hues, each wearing dresses and thick full beards.

They look the same (the reaper is just bigger and carries more) and really the easiet way to tell them apart is if the rear stabilizers (lil wings on the tail) are pointed up (reaper) or down (predator) Anyways, Bok is wrong.

Trapezium Dave posted:Spooner: "SVB gave 74 million dollars to BLM" is a right-wing media talking point that's making the rounds. It's a complete lie. There are multiple organizations with "Black Lives Matter" or "BLM" in their name, but SVB never donated or loaned money to any of them. What did SVB give money to? Causes and organizations that some right-wing media classify as "BLM-adjacent" like... the NAACP, United Negro College Fund, the ACLU, college loan scholarship programs, programs to encourage diversity in tech fields, COVID-19 related programs, etc. Not all of that money was donated, some of it was to be spread out over five years. Those five-years charity plans are probably bust now. Also worth noting is that 74 million is a tiny percentage of the bank's total assets when it failed (200 billion). https://apnews.com/article/silicon-valley-bank-fdic-svb-california-d84764deb458371667ac7f850f430f22 Quote from AP news: "The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, in its own statement, confirmed it did not receive $70 million from the bank. “Even if we did, the idea that this type of contribution would be controversial is rooted in a pathology that Black organizations don’t deserve to be funded,” the organization wrote. “Contributions to a variety of progressive Black causes is irrelevant in the conversation about what led to the bank’s demise.”" https://crooksandliars.com/2023/03/did-svb-really-give-74m-black-lives-matter https://www.thenation.com/article/society/silicon-valley-bank-black-lives-matter/ Victar fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Mar 17, 2023 |
