Also on December 7, the United States Senate defeated bipartisan effort to stop the $650 million arms sale to Saudi Arabia that would supply the latter with air-to-air missiles and missile launchers. The deal was criticized by progressives in Congress due to Saudi Arabia's heavy involvement in the ongoing Yemeni Civil War and contradicted the promise to end all arms sales to the Saudis Biden made while he was a presidential candidate.
Should the United States and other Western democracies be selling weapons to authoritarian regimes with poor human right record?
First things first, I am happy that I was born in Canada. I have access to great education, great health care, and freedom. But this country has gone down hill, and so has the US.
The average house is around a million dollars, the job market is bad, wages are low, and itβs just not the same country our parents grew up in.
Whenever I bring up these issues, people immediately become defensive, saying things like βif you hate this country so much, then why donβt you just leave?!β. Itβs frustrating because you canβt even talk about the issues your country has without people attacking you, and itβs got so bad thatβ¦ yeahβ¦ I do want to leave.
When I tell people this they call me ungrateful and assume Iβm some type of radical, saying that Iβve taken my freedom for granted and that I donβt realize I live in the best country in the world.
I think weβve all been brain washed into mindlessly defending our country and believing that we have it good even though things have become terrible.

... keep reading on reddit β‘I just thought about it, and I think it's because it has two adjectives (?). It feels like an incomplete sentence.
"This object is extremely dangerously".
"Extremely dangerously WHAT?"
It doesn't apply to say, the Western Bulldogs in the AFL, because that name resolves with a noun.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
EDIT: I also appreciate the fact that there's a typo in my title. Muphry's Law in action.
First of all I assure you this is not a joke, trolling, or anything but a recognition of a very light-hearted religion.
Dudeism arose online decades ago as people began to be influenced by a popular movie.
Perhaps the first internet faith it quickly became a recognized religion based in California with the power to mary, bury and all of the other standard religious activities for ordained people.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudeism
In my youth, I completed the open book test and became an ordained Dudeist minister. In fact it was my first ordination although I had previously qualified for another.
The entire faith, from concept to Creed, is based upon one movie and the philosophy of Life of one individual named the dude, otherwise known as Jeff Lebowski.
Dudeism can be expressed in one sentence:
"The dude abides, but don't piss on the rug Man."
Here is the Wikipedia link about Dudeism;

The whole reason for taking time off was to go to big bend in Texas. But . . . Iβm burnt out. I do contractor work and have been working at least sixty hours weeks over the past year, and am going to keep doing that until spring now. So, I asked for more time off and got it.
Iβd like to go to Zion, and Death Valley. Opinions on visiting in winter?
Like I said, Iβm leaving work tomorrow and going on my planned trip to Big Bend. Where would you go from there, if you had a few weeks off ahead of you to travel? I have a 4x4 vehicle and a lot of off roading gear (I hike, camp and go off roading regularly), so places with more rugged terrain would be doable.
Where would you go and what would you do?
