The reason for that is many of us feel the primary roadblock to socialism is American Hegemony so states which actively resist America receive critical support. Other common examples are Al-Assad's Syria and Ghadaffi's Libya.

Due to the tendency of the circlejerk the critical part tends to be silent, also as no other state has the same global influence as America, their flaws frankly matter less.

I think you're missing the Dem Soc perspective; arguing that AES isn't "true" Socialism/Communism let's them ignore the imperfections of reality in favor of the ideals/positives which is an easier sell to an electorate. Its also a lot easier for political hopefuls to go along with the red scare rather than fight it.

Ceiling fans should be set to warm weather mode (there should be a switch on the base which changes the direction of spin), you want them to ~~pull hot air up (so the lower edge is the leading side)~~ push cool air down, had it backwards

Cotton/baggy clothes: cotton loses all insulation properties when wet so its nice on a hot day, baggy clothes are generally more breathable

Self-misters are fine, but do not use humidifiers, lower humidity = faster sweat evaporation = cooler you

Drinks w/ ice and/or icecream: cold stuff inside your body will cool you down

Avoid the outside at 1-2pm: this is usually the hottest part of the day

For your laptop: buy a desk fan and point it right at your laptop, has the bonus of cooling you down too

we've had generations of Americans come and go without the need* of unions, I think the positive communication aspects are outweighed by the negative culture ones

*unions are good for everyone, by need I mean the effects of neoliberalism hadn't kneecapped the (white) working class until 2008

Mythbusters had an episode about it

Judging by Goat's video "The Wiggle Which Ruined Tarkov", people just don't recognize/remember the western players

If you haven't yet id check to see of there is a local PSL chapter

Its a political position as described by the Political Compass website. The Political Compass is an attempt by to map polotocal ideologies onto 2 axis (economic, social) rather than 1 (left-right). The primary complaint (other than reducing politics to two axis is reductive) tends to be that it describes fascism as Authortian-Center (auth center). Their justification was that the economic controls levied by fascist governments is neither leftist nor liberal (free market) in nature, for example they described Hitler as (3,10). This test got picked up by the online alt-right discourse as a way to legitimize their views in places like r/PoliticalCompassMemes.

Tbh so were Carnegie and Nobel

I did the main quest line with only minor exploration and + sidequesting and ended up slightly underlevel for the final quest, but it was completely doable

Bay area, one of my co workers can't get any of her addy, apparently none of the pharmacies stock it right now. Vyvanse seems to be unaffected so far, but my doctor does not expect that to last.
