    Reading the comments, I thought, "it can't be that bad. Lemmy's ocerreacting." I figured, let's give him the benefit of the doubt and read what happened. It took one fucking sentence and knew I was in the wrong. And it gets worse. I decided to keep on reading. Mistakes were made. What was he thinking? Why did I read on!?!

    First time I saw this I had taken an edible too strong for me and had it recommended. Only made it through because I couldn't get up to turn it off. Great short film though, very well made

    Interesting! Though it's not actually Russia specific, they're just the most recent ones. The exact same thing happened before the American revolution. Everyone blamed the administrators working for him in the new world thinking they were deceiving the king. Actually, the king making his distain for the colonists clear was a major motivator towards revolution for many people Point being naive monarchism happens anywhere people believe their leader is divinely inspired or otherwise perfect and loving of them. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug

    Don't think it was bad info, it looks like the next Hands Off protest is May 1st, but Indivisible has a protest planned for the 19th.

    I believe so yes. There's an add value button to add additional entries. I haven't tested it but it should work. [image: 554e462b-c6a6-4669-84ee-066af795acf6.png]
