They (you) try to make me hate you but you look at me like this

@sarasoli grateful for you

Grateful for any sunny days

not an economist but I would think that would be a bit cheaper for the government and for the commuters. Correct me if I am wrong

Genuine question and I am not trying to be funny: the country spent a shit load of money the last few years into developing areas east of Cairo along with roads and bridges (for whatever reason) Why not build a strong bus network for that area instead of the monorail?

Rice relegating us

film noir rules bc there's like 5 jobs. detective, mobster, insurance salesman, secretary and/or lady who kills people

This is basically the ending of heat

Wrote entire books about how people who believe fairies live in gardens are idiots only to fall in love with a calculator that calls him smart

fish probably love being made into a soup... "brings me back" type shit

I think more than “terrorist” the word “authoritarian” has become the central load-bearing cliche of our time. In this worldview genocide is not authoritarian but qualified praise of China is. I think to most morally healthy people this cheesy Atlanticism increasingly rings false

في فيديوهين انتشروا النهارده، وردود الفعل عليهم كانت دالة على حاجات كتير. الأول: شاب شغال ديليفري، بيوصل أوردر ساندوتشات بـ٩٠٠ جنيه، وبيساءل في الفيديو الظروف وهو بيقول الحمد لله، وبيقول إن قيمة الأوردر ده شغل ١٠ أيام. وطبعاً الناس مسكت الفيديو تقطيع في الراجل وإزاي هو حاقد وإزاي الفقراء بيكرهوا الأغنياء. التاني: ست غلبانة بتعد رزمة فلوس كلها فئة خمسة جنيه، يعني الرزمة كلها مش هتكمل ٥٠٠ جنيه يمكن. واللي نشر الفيديو افترض إنها “شحاتة” وإن ده إيراد شغلها ، ومعظم التعليقات بتتكلم عن قد إيه الشحاتين بيكسبوا فلوس وبتساءل الشحاتة أصلاً، وفيه حد كاتب إن دي فلوس حرام. 😥😥 مفيش كلام كتير يتقال، كل حاجة شارحة نفسها، احنا عايشين في مجتمع اتعلم يكره الفقرا أكتر من الظلم. الراجل مش بيشتكي، بيقول الحمد لله، بس مجرد بيساءل العالم، الدنيا، كأن الفقير مسموحله بس يكون فقير، مش مسموله يشوف الفقر. ولا يساءله او يتكلم عنه. مش مسموله يحسب. والست، الناس محتاجة تقنع نفسها إنها “بتكسب كتير” عشان تريح ضميرها من غير ما تسأل إيه اللي وصّلها لهناك. الحزين، الناس اللي بتهاجم الاتنين، غالباً مش أغنياء. هم ناس من نفس الطبقة أو قريبين منها، بس اتعلموا يتمايزوا بالنظرة للأسفل بدل ما يتساءلوا لفوق. ده اللي بيخلي الغضب الطبقي في مصر ميتحولش لضغط على المسؤولين عنه

The rub with this squishy claptrap is they can never define what they mean by a “Palestinian state”. Ilan, tell us: - Does this Palestinian state get a military? - Can it enter bilateral alliances with Russia or China? - what mechanism prevents further Israeli expansionism?
