There's no way this isn't parody, especially with the Langley, Virginia thing, right?

Fair. I was referring to the Middle East specifically though, as in literally using the same image without changes.

getting mad if it has even the slightest bit of liberalism or yankee propaganda
Unless you have lots of communist media to enjoy, you might want to save your anger for the things that matter more, because there's way too much media that is excessive in the liberalism, let alone slightest bit

That by itself doesn't necessarily mean too much — the laws on consent/marriage in the US are really weird. Some states have no minimum marriage age as long as you can find a judge that's cool with it

Danjiangkou is mentioned by name in the image (丹江口).
This reply in Chinese suggests that these things are in fact produced there:

Information about the global market size seems to be difficult to find to be able to ultimately verify or deny the claim, but the publicly available information on this site suggests that Chinese companies may be responsible for at least a significant portion of it, even if not based there specifically.

Admittedly, it does do us well to remember that they aren't really all 
— lots of average citizens have fallen victim to it
Don't forget the old Cold War joke:
An American says to a Soviet comrade, "Your propaganda is very effective." The Soviet replies, "Yours is too." The American, puzzled, asks, "What propaganda?"
Is this more of a dunk tank post? This just infuriated me that even the companies producing the vaccines don't even mention they exist when they're literally advertising about COVID-19. Oh, and just acting like long COVID doesn't exist is nice too... Edit: If you click the link, which goes to https://www.pfizerforall.com/respiratory, vaccines are mentioned only near the bottom of the page. Still no mention of long COVID

Edit: The fictitious equivalence in the word "totalitarianism" matches the libs here — obviously "fascism" would be preferable to insert here regardless of Orwell's stated intent

Why the hell am I teaching 11-year-olds how to blow their noses and wash their hands?
That was the most depressing part — I thought this was a kindergarten (5-year-olds) when I was reading this where they'd at least have an excuse for not knowing better.

you have to get boosters to be fully covered for variant strains.
Speaking of boosters, friendly reminder that at least in the US, 2024 updated Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been out for a few weeks. If you haven't already, look into getting your updated booster soon :)
To be upfront, I'm not OP of the Lemmygrad thread. Masking obviously is important and a good thing to do for your community. Personally, however, living in a place like Texas where almost nobody still masks though, 54 months (4.5 years) after the initial declaration, and everybody says COVID is relatively a non-issue like the flu, I understand why the OP would be demoralized. クロスポスト: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5723508 > Basically, wanted to know where people are at with mask wearing (as it relates to containing covid and all), I know it's been a while since it started. And I've seen people who say covid can still be threatening, like through long covid and such, even if the initial impact doesn't tend to be as bad. Being in the US, it's especially hard to tell what makes sense because the gov sorta gave up on containment a while back and only ever half-assed pushing mask wearing. And wearing a mask alone was a controversial thing in some places, even in the very beginning. Then there's vaccines, which of course help, but seems to be a thing like the flu where you have to get boosters to be fully covered for variant strains. > > So in general, I'm wondering stuff like: > > 1) Do you still wear a mask or not and why? And do you have distinctions like large crowds or anything like that? > > 2) How does mask wearing compare by country, from what you know? For example, I'm sure China has a more pro-mask-wearing culture and policy overall, but I'm not clear on where they're at this late into it. > > Partly asking cause I want to re-assess my own position on it, see if it makes sense to change it at all by now. I've still been doing it, in part out of inertia, but the US management of it is such a mess, in gov and culture, it's hard to tell when it makes sense to stop vs. just caving to peer pressure of people who were never acting responsibly to begin with.

: "Look folks, I just need a small loan of a million dollars. America never had a president with a 5.0 GPA. Even Lincoln had maybe a 4 or 3"
(For those not in the US, Lincoln was mostly self-educated, having less than 12 months of formal schooling, yet received an honorary doctorate.)
It's been linked occasionally in mega-posts about the topic but worth mentioning specifically since the aforementioned assessment is probably the best evidence of human rights issues that libs can point to
I know what critical means in critical support, but I'm curious what Russia's motivations are here if true. Telgraph claiming this: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/04/taliban-trusted-ally-against-terrorists-putin/
