In my mind, this is the only correct backdrop for that bowl.

Usually civilian targets are avoided because it galvanizes the population’s opinion to pro war but in Russia’s case it doesn’t seem to matter much anymore.

Vance doesn’t know that

Insult Musk on Twitter, wait until posts are censored, sue X for not having freedom of speech. How’s that for American values?

It’s from the movie Idiocracy.

but this is really about predicting what trump will do

Trump plays pigeon chess — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.

It’s football. Attacking civilians because they wave around the wrong flag, or just wearing the wrong color of t-shirt or scarf is reason enough for a beating.

Robocop tube begins playing. OCP starts construction of Delta City.

The only winning move is not too buy

Alright, what are the best options for blocking mentions of Trump? Last term there was so much noise from that guy or about him.

There are plenty other wacko ways people got themselves in the hospital if that’s your kink. The one with the girl that overdosed on gummies because she wanted spicy food was fun.

“But he tells it like it is!” they say.

Then you listen Trump giving s speech and telling 4 outright lies in the first 3 rambling sentences.

USA is a country with a lot of inequality, if not rising inequality, so a fertile breeding ground for populists. And it has an ancient voting system that always gives a two party system so perfect for this kind of polarisation. The system with campaign contributions will also make sure nothing changes about inequality and is making things worse. Yeah, it’ll happen again.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to subject any vehicle coming from a country that deals with Russia (cough China) to some additional time consuming bomb checks. They can’t say it’s tarrifs or unappropriate as there is a legitimate threat made.

Sounds like a good time to rewatch the Tom Scott video about timezones and the descent into madness again

It’s a bit of a shock after years of hearing that this thing will happen in the future, to realize that the future has arrived and it’s within our lifetime. Kinda how you look back and suddenly realize that your favorite movie is now closer to world war 2 than it is to present time, but it still feels like last year.

Engineers: we can’t make transistors smaller because they wouldn’t work because of those quantum effects

Different engineers: but what if we use quantum effects as the basis to make smaller transistors work

A consequence of Ceaușescu’s natalist policy is that large numbers of children ended up living in orphanages, because their parents could not cope with looking after them. The vast majority of children who lived in the state-run orphanages were not actually orphans, like the name implies, but simply children whose parents could not afford or did not want to look after them.

So it often comes back to the economics of the situation. Kids used to make money, helping on the farm and stuff. Now kids cost a lot of money and paying women a substantial amount (and not the pizza party amounts) to have children is deemed economically nonviable.
