The war in Afghanistan has been waged for 20 years. The United States has finally pulled out of the country, leading to the Taliban swiftly taking control of the country.

Only the Afghan p...

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran has vetoed the Police Class Protection legislation.

The title is self explanatory. Abolish Credit cards. They mislead people into incurring thousands in debt. Not only this but you get a poor credit score if you do not constantly incur debt and pay it off, starting a vicious unending cycle. Fuck credit cards!

The internet has become an addictive, habit forming, and privacy destructive place. I realized I needed to talk about this after reading Caitlin Flanagan's article in The Atlantic about her Twitter addiction.
