Qtotonibudinibudet posted:to be fair i would be surprised if a significant proportion of the US population knew what Dagestan is. it doesn't have a whole lot of relevance to people outside of southern Russia, and doesn't even have the name recognition of Chechnya from the war. internal administrative divisions of distant foreign countries aren't really something most people have a need to know Random jerkoff? No. Member of the House Intelligence Committee?

Qtotonibudinibudet posted:internal administrative divisions of distant foreign countries aren't really something most people have a need to know I live in Japan, and one of the first things people ask me when they meet me is where I'm from. I tell them I'm from the US, and they ask what state. I tell them I'm from Nebraska, and they're like "is that close to California, or New York?". I think I've only met one person who knew where it is, and that was a coworker at my last job that for some reason did a student exchange in Nebraska for a month back when he was in high school.

Handsome Ralph posted:Starting to think Dan Crenshaw is a loving moron. This is worse than when Gary Johnson did it because Crenshaw went out of his way to let us know he hadn’t heard of the place. I wonder if we’ll have a repeat of the guy’s fans trying to make it look better by letting us know that they, too, had not heard of it.

Not a fan of Crenshaw, and also not a member of the House Intelligence Committee, but if you asked me if Dagestan was a real place or a scene from Borat I don't give myself good odds of answering correctly.

Suicide Watch posted:I might only know of Dagestan because it's where the Boston bombers were from funnily-enough, my impression of the US reporting on the identity of the Boston bombers was that news anchors were pronouncing Dagestan like it was a made-up place from Borat But my list of groups I would bet have heard from Dagestan, in order of group size, is the following: - MMA fans - People who know Conor McGregor (because they know he's the "GOAT" and how could he get his rear end beat from a made-up place) - People who are aware of the Boston bombing I'll give folks a pass of never having heard of it because it's in the category of "places that have something to do with Russia" that aren't an actual country, like Georgia. Dan Crenshaw is someone that should at least be aware of all categories of "places that have something to do with Russia", he should drat well have heard of Dagestan, and he can go gently caress himself in general.

If I were a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I'd certainly know about Dagestan since a terror attack that was carried out on US soil was perpetrated by two people from that region. Marathon bombing EFB

If you haven't been paying attention to the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, you may be delighted to learn that he took the stand in his own defense and got shredded in cross examination today. A sample: https://x.com/innercitypress/status/1719058098973737130

Vaccine rates this time around are like 7% of eligible adults, due in no small part to how difficult it's been to find the vaccine even with an appointment. I was finally able to book my appointment for Thursday afternoon, but it took a lot of looking around to do so. Fortunately, it seems like the strain that's going around is mostly chest congestion and fatigue, but I'm really in no hurry to catch it again. Getting it in January knocked me on my rear end for the better part of a week.

I had something similar in August, felt exactly the same as when I had it summer 2022 and my symptom was fatigue. Then I got it early October and had a lot of symptoms and a near 103 fever. Thankfully I tested negative a couple Fridays back and oh my symtpoms returned that is a positive test again I got rebound COVID. Can't wait to be better and go to the VA and get boosted. Not happy the fed decided lol lmao and won't fund getting shots in arms, though. Hi five A.o.D. rebound COVID buddy maffew buildings fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Oct 31, 2023 |
