B) he doesn't think it's a good idea, Putin does. It will destroy the US's soft power abroad for decades and will give the US's enemies/competitor states a huge leg up in developing nations. China and Russia have already been carving up any parts of Africa that the US doesn't have strong enough diplomatic ties to with asymmetric trade agreements that are sweetened with humanitarian or infrastructure-building 'aid' that's really loans. Expect that to accelerate as the US withdraws these programs and good will evaporates.

The modern anti-vax movement started in the UK with Andrew Wakefield, I wouldn't be quick to square the bulk of the blame with the US.

It's a global phenomenon of the gullable, the willfully ignorany, and the vulnerable (usually through personal loss or trauma) - and the fraudsters who wish to take advantage of them.

Ain't what happened.

Somebody: uses redundant "nobody:" meme format

Someone else: that was redundant, why do people do this?

Flame-baiters: quotes meme back at them

Shingles is apparently one of the worst chronic pains a person can endure. Adult chicken pox can be deadly.

Worth looking into if you've never been vaccinated against chicken pox. There are options for adult vaccination.

Or don't. Just don't say nobody ever warned you.

My local public golf course was closed and sold to developers a few years back.

Promises were made to the community of keeping all the trees and lots of green space, as there was vicious community opposition.

The developers have of course instead done what you suggest, and every house is crammed in next to each other just like every other new suburb. Its still in progress but it looks like once they're done you wouldn't even know it used to be a golf course.

This meme is so stupid because it doesn't present an even remotely possible outcome. A far better option is to keep the public golf courses for people to spend time outdoors and to provide homes for wildlife - and then remove regulations limiting building heights to encourage multi-storey development.

Build up, not out - because once green space becomes houses it never changes back.

He's not used to typing in English - Russia keyboard.

Good idea. Pizza's not topical - everyone likes pizzas.

Here's the logo of one of my favourite pizzarias for you to use.

Imma quote from the article.

Abramson noted, “It is also a particularly American disease to confuse wealth with intelligence and corporations with those who own them."

Hi, you took the time to respond i feel i owe you the courtesy of a reply.

Reading your website initially I could see a lot of pro gas-vehicle articles and negative EV articles, I didnt really focus on brand - not a fan of Tesla myself, and obviously the CT is a piece of crap. I'll take you at your word that you dont hate EVs but I think if you got a few people to review your site they may also walk away from a quick look through it as 'oh this is an anti-EV site'; lots of loaded language that's positive to gas cars and lots of Tesla bashing. People are not going to read every article and notice that there are a few EVs that you're very fond of before deciding if your page contains useful objective info or if it's a just another biased source.

Regarding your About page (I'm on mobile), if I click the Menu button I get a drop-down that shows an 'About us' with a little down-arrow on it -> if I click 'About us' a menu drops down showing: drop us a line / best of / search / subscribe.

I checked each of those options and couldn't find any info about the organization, or you the writer. Now you say you have an 'about page' so I go back today and I find if I click on the 'about us' drop down menu a second time, it opens a new page. Friend, congrats, you have made a secret About Us page. I have never seen this kind of design in a very long time browsing the internet.

Anyway, now that I'm here there's no credentials or references (some mention of being published on other websites - but no links to those articles), beyond saying you have driven a few hunded thousand miles - and your name is still clearly a pseodonym. Journalists generally build faith in their audience by using their real name, it's a red flag is all.

I hope that clarifies my statements, they were not arbitrary or intended to be malicious or unfair. Even negative feedback can be constructive and that's the spirit of this message.

What? Maybe you should just stop trying to guess what people think or tell them what they know.

You're welcome to your opinion that it's only been a dozen years of bad behaviour but I do not share it and nor do many, many others. Feel free to have a browse, much of this goes back to 2001, many lawsuits filed in the early 2010s had evidence going back a decade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Google

I'm not responding any further.

MAGAts are honestly too ignorant to define republic.

I've been using Google since 1998, and everyone loved them because their search indexed sites quicker than others and the search results were more useful than the competition at the time like Yahoo and Altavista and AskJeeves. They started turning nasty as soon as they gained steam & commercial success with AdWords.. around 2003-2004. So no, while they get worae each year they haven't been 'the good guys' for decades.
