Rainn Wilson says "The Office" probably wouldn’t be made today, telling Fox News Digital that media trends have shifted left and that cancel culture makes it difficult for edgy comedies to thrive.

Theoretic question. Do you think if Jews made a moonbase and lived there people would leave them alone? Or do you think we’d start hounding them through the far reaches of space?
Because I think mankind would fixate on it and try to destroy them there too.
When your statement is so silly even Matt Yglesias can't go along with it.

There are tons of unhinged anti-Israel takes out there but it’s clearly the case that the presence of millions of Palestinians living under Israeli rule is a major factor in external perceptions of the Jewish state — paranoia is not helpful.
Since so many of you wanted to weigh in on The Boys
I don't know if I should actually link cybersmith

'The Boys' S5 finale is at 6.7 on IMDb
The final two episodes are the lowest-rated in the show's history
Cybersmith responds:
The writers really destroyed their own art out of a pig-headed refusal to look beyond their own political biases.
Homelander should have killed the nonbelievers and ushered in Heaven on Earth.
THAT would have made the show an all-time great.
Now? It'll just be remembered as a disappointment.
No they're talking about general reduction of bed rest after birth, not that c sections have shorter hospital stays. It is also describing a process that originated in the 19th century, not a recent phenomenon.
That sentence is wrong. Women stay longer in the hospital after a c-section. You are right to question the article if that is what it says.
The fact that there is a profit motive behind the overuse of c-sections is a settled issue. There is. There are investigations, there are studies, and there are metaanalyses of those studies.
C-sections are a relatively easy procedure with predictable results that minimise litigation risk. It is frankly absurd how high the incentive is for a hospital to perform one.
I can't comment on your baby in particular. I don't know the relevant facts and it would be wildly unethical to comment on it as a result. But with regards to whether there is a financial motive to perform c-sections in general the science is in.
State capitalist does not imply such a thing. State capitalism is whem the state does capitalism ehich it is perfectly possible to do in a way where it is attenpting to forward a communist aim. This was the case in the ussr.
Then your argument is not about whether or not china is state capitalist but about whether or not the Communist Party of China is earnestly communist and truly represents the working class in its political aims. That is an entirely sifferent question and is not much affected by whether or not they have state run enterprises.
These are not arguments against accusations of state capitalism. State capitalism doesn't mean that stuff isn't state owned, or that the state doesn't crack down on billionaires.
State capitalism refers to the idea of a state owning the means of productions and engaging in capitalist practises through state owned or controlled enterprises. Saying that the state owns companies in china is like... perpendicular to the argument to whether China engages in state capitalism. These links are mostly irrelevant to the question.
But the two arent connected. If anything having a competent and powerful anti corruption investigative tool would help them fight Russia given the problems with corruption faced by the Ukranian military. Like do you think the Russians have every news agency in the west questioning this by the balls so they'll say that making an corruption agency less independent is bad?
Are you not taking it seriously as in you dont believe its happening, or not taking it seriously as in you don't believe its a big deal?
It would be cool to see some anti colonialist solidarity in the region again. Although it being theoretically aligned and spearheaded by an organisation created in part to destroy anti colonialist unity is iffy.
The label covers a set of symptoms (Pain, tiredness, depression, stiffness, and lack of rest from sleep), united only by being idiopathic. (Without a known cause).
From a diagnostic standpoint fibromylagia is throwing your hands in the air and going "Something's fucky, but we don't know what it is". Which doesn't mean that the person doesn't suffer, some people with this diagnosis are basically bedridden and in agony (Others have mild aches and pains, which still sucks)
