All extremist sides are just everywhere because extremism tends to be the best way for populists to gather votes and attention. Democracy is completely useless when the population is uneducated and cannot choose what's best for themselves in the long, and even in the short term.

Here in Mexico things are getting wilder every year, people choose influencers and tv/sports stars just because they are famous, the president from 2012-2018 was chosen by a big percent of the population just because he was handsome lol

But now the best selling point is extremism, blaming x because of y since you are a victim but we can do z, z being whatever nonsensical and irresponsible measure that would change things.

I was just seeing the access ramp to the municipality office yesterday and it looked so steep and I just wonder how the hell are you supposed to go up lol

I recommend it a lot, it's very entertaining for team fights and quick tactics, rather than waiting 20 mins for the fun to begin or waiting for your JG to do something in SR

It's somewhat better but heavily depends on what you play and how you play it. Empirically, it's better as now I only find toxic players every 20 games or so, when before it was like 1/2. But I also recommend to just mute everything and everyone and stick to ARAM if you don't like toxicity.

I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:

Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.

Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world....

It's a very common word in other languages (Spanish) but my brain didn't even process it correctly the first time I saw it in English lol

Not quite a gadget but I bought a sleeping mask some years ago and it has definitely made sleeping much easier.

I used to struggle a lot to sleep and having total darkness helps a lot, so I recommend giving it a try.

Catholicism spread their regionalized interpretations of Jesus and other important figures, for example the virgin Mary is represented with attributes similar to those of the locals as well as the colors of the country flag.

In Mexico we have the Virgen de Guadalupe, she's "morenita" (light brownish skin) and she's wearing a green robe, she has a red aura around her and she's on a white ish background, similar to the Mexican flag 🇲🇽

In Argentina they have the Virgen de Luján, she's wearing a light blue robe and her hands suddenly pop out of her robe right in the middle of her body, simulating the structure of the Argentinian flag 🇦🇷

In Venezuela, they have the Virgen de Coromoto, wearing a blue robe, red pants and she's under a yellow structure, once again, similar to the country flag. 🇻🇪

They used the virgin here as LATAM countries are centered around respect for one's mother, so normally you can find people calling the virgin as they would their mother, and then you sprinkle the flags colors for further identification.

They'll likely charge a small amount for a subscription to access your free games.
