I wanted to post a quote, but the whole article was worthy.

They recognize it. They just want to protect themselves while others take risks.

Much like .. Everyone else.

Oh, I see. It's different when it's us.

It doesn't take a tankie to recognize rank hypocrisy. It does take honesty.

I don't want another enlightened Westerner to say anything about DPRK or Stalin when they excuse our own complicity in this.

I'm pretty sure it's not, but I'll eat that before rushing gastroparesis.

But wait! There's more!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah_(Leonard_Cohen_song)#%3A%7E%3Atext=11+External+links-%2CHistory%2Cversions+of+the+same+line.

Cohen is reputed to have written between 80[7] and 180[8] draft verses for "Hallelujah"—a number affected by having many versions of the same line.[9] He claimed 150 draft verses, substantiated by his notebooks containing manifold revisions and additions, and by contemporary interviews.[10] In a writing session in New York's Royalton Hotel, Cohen is famously said to have been reduced to sitting on the floor in his underwear, filling notebooks, banging his head on the floor.

I know this because I love that song and was obsessed with it for a year or two.

This is unfortunate. WW is hard because they help you lose in a healthy manner. Drugs will kill ya faster than fat, but at least ya look better faster.

We all wish there was a safe, easy button for life's challenges. At best, pick one.

The same president who claimed he told Bibi to cut it out, then staffers said he didn't.

We already know and various users from other countries have very explicitly told us. We're just waiting for more answers palatable to us because most of us aren't willing to risk anything.
