This. They believe in a lot of the things we do but don't want to believe their heroes are fucking monsters. Their unwavering support of the trans and gay communities is great, but Marx help you if you bring up the USSR and CCP didn't take kindly to them. They could be allies to other leftists but end up being insufferable.

Same in Mexico though in El Salvador it's referred to beating someone up if spoken as a verb. I got really confused when a Salvadorean guy was telling me he fucked another guy only to find out it was actually in the context of a fight.

I wouldn't mind if they passed the savings on to the consumer... But they won't.

Easiest way to address this is to wear a metal Casio watch and have it touch anything metallic attached to a wall like door latch guides or maybe even coat hangers to dissipate any static electricity. Another choice is to grab the metal part of a key and tap them as well.

Someone who's already cheating on a partner of their own. The relationship is likely to be a self fulfilling prophecy.

At least in my case that kind of setup is a somewhat isolated train line with few interconnects with stations that end up too far away from places of interest to the common rider.

Careful where you speak such truths friend, the Pronoun Patrol would've thrown you to the gulags if it was in their instance.

I can't read the first link as it's behind a paywall. The second link talked about how Roosevelt tried to establish cordial relations with the Soviet Union but was hampered by their refusal to acknowledge debts owed by the Tsarist government, refusal to stop spreading propaganda within the US, and the killing of Leningrad Communist party boss Sergey Kirov which " launched the first of the “Great Purges” that led to the death or imprisonment of millions of Soviet citizens as the Stalinist regime liquidated any potential critics of the government. The wide scope and public nature of the purges horrified both American diplomatic personnel stationed in the Soviet Union, and the world at large."

Gee I wonder why the USSR had such a tough go at getting allies...

Last I checked the "tankies" signed a non-aggression pact with the Nazis and only became a reluctant ally because they were betrayed.

Okay I'll bite for the sake of conversation. How is it more complicated than an ex-KGB authoritarian wanting to take over the country next door?
