If you asked me five years ago what I thought about Afghanistan
I would have said “I’m sorry I don’t know anything about Afghanistan, I have no opinion.”
The fact is in the last Trump administration reporting on the war in Afghanistan was greatly reduced. The administration indicated that secrecy was essential to carr…
Traditional literature translation is kind of boring.
You’re supposed to spend months (or even years) working and slaving away on your project. You’re supposed to spend a lot of time thinking about how certain words can be rendered in English — and you’ve got to figure out what to do when there simply isn’t a single word that fits.

He fled violent gangs in El Salvador that were threatening him and his family.
A U.S. court protected him from deportation. He got a work permit, a job, a wife, and three kids. No criminal record. Then ICE deported him anyway—by "mistake"—and dumped him into a Salvadoran prison built to house the very gangs he ran from.

“All this hate for Israel makes me feel anxious and unsafe!”
Really? Are you sure that’s what you’re feeling? Are you sure it’s not guilt? Gut-wrenching guilt about all those dead kids in the genocide you support? Or cognitive dissonance, because your entire worldview is wrong?

Incredible summary of the lawlessness of the January 6th Committee, their harassment of peaceful protestors, and the DOJ’s disproportionately severe punishment of J6 protestors compared to BLM/Antifa
Here’s a point that stuck out to me
J6 Cmte interviewed over 1,000 witnesses but only released transcripts for 200
Why? Because 80% of the tra…

I'm really interested/ impressed at how Hinge has maintained its reputation for being a 'friendly' dating app. I first used it in September 2020, and remember how nice it was to see so many new people and faces after the first lockdown. There was also something endearing about the collective sense of 'putting yourself out there'; that cocktail of slightly bashful-earnest-vulnerability. Bc essentially we're all just trying to be loved! (Full disclosure I met my partner on Hinge so my intel is out of date, and biased towards a positive experience with the app.)
I think something that might have soured dating apps' reputation is people screenshotting profiles and/ or sharing on social media. Not to clutch my pearls, but I think it's such a no! Even if the person is vile, I think it makes everyone worried that someone might do it to them, then we get more insecure, and insecurity makes us more judgemental.
Isamaya Ffrench has been talking about NAD for a while - I love her beauty commentary.
I can ask their team to hop in the comments about the tone of the app, good point and congratulations on a success story :)
Agree with the screenshot thing but unfortunately I just assume nothing is private anymore, and that's the price of having any type of life online. It sucks.
Basically complaining about all dating apps. I was hit with the headline “YOU actually swiped on ME?!?!?” with a blurred photo when I opened the app a couple days ago. So that’s the vibe usually.
Tinder came out like my second semester or year in college, and started out as this like super awkward friend hang out group thing. I’ve actually never had a “relationship” from los apps it’s always been more of a casual thing. Or people ignore and then message you at like 1am when…
