American here: I don't get it. Is the traffic really bad? The weather? Why is a 13 hour drive so bad?

Does stevia contain sodium cyclomate?
Expensive and dedicated infrastructure.... Like the Eisenhower Interstate System
Like, the music video was a birthday present to her, and was published by the producer. Iirc she didn't even make any money from it
From what I read, in the 60s there was this idea that intestinal flaura would break it down into sulpher compounds that could cause cancer. A bunch of countries banned it, but later research suggested that it's not that big a deal, so a lot of countries unbanned it.
The US was not one of them.
It's still banned in the US, so brands that want to use it would have to have US specific formulas or not desire to sell there.
That's a lot of brands, for sure, but depending on where you are, they might not be the brands you see.
It's not a pyramid scheme. It's a pump-and-dump scheme. There's more than one kind of scheme.
Agreed. The function of the down vote is to deprioritize that post/comment. People should use the down vote when they want to deprioritize that post/comment.
This would work if Nazis were smart enough to know how to draw a swastika. They fuck it up half the time
Great, now they can try zoning for anything other than single family with yard. Scottsdale's growth patterns are stupid and unsustainable,and cutting out grass lawns is a tiny but significant step
Disrupting the economy is the point!
In January 1968, a progressive faction was able to gain control of the government in communist Czechoslovakia. They proceeded to liberalize the country. Czech media was allowed to be critical of Soviet-style communism for the first time, and many restrictions on individuals were eased. This was called the "Prague Spring"
Fearing a weakened position in the cold war and a spreading desire for liberal reforms in other countries, the Soviet Union, with the aid of other Warsaw Pact countries, invaded Czechoslovakia in order to install a more friendly regime and bring the country back in line with Soviet policy.
For many western communists and socialists, this was the final nail in the coffin for support of Soviet-style communism. A small minority, however, supported the action. They were labeled as "tankies" because of the imagery of tanks rolling in to Czech cities.
Today, "tanky" is used to label a spectrum of people. At one end are those who have large support for marxist-lenninist/marxist-lenninist-stalinist/marxist-lenninist-maoist Communism (different philosophies of how to accomplish a communist revolution) at one extreme. At another end are people who support the current Russian or Chinese governments because they oppose American imperialism. Most of those people do not really identify as "tankies". The current usage also doesn't really relate to the original, as most people don't have a stance on the Soviet response to the Prague Spring today.
Lemmy.ml is understood to be friendly to marxist-lenninist thought, since the founders subscribe to that philosophy. Thus, users of the instance are often labeled as "tankies".
