interest payments on the debt are expected to exceed $1 trillion this year
If my finger-counting math is right ye yanks, on average (including children), are paying ~$250 a month just in interests… I ain’t no economist but that seems like a lot.
No it doesn’t. But yours dilutes a bit the complicity of most (all, maybe) other states, many of them directly. Without them they couldn’t have done all this shit for these many years. They raised a very problematic pit bull, and when it mauls a bunch of babies the might go ‘oh! No! That’s very bad!’ But tell the parent that the baby scared the dog, and the other parent shouldn’t have approached so fast, while cuddling it. I also get your point, it very well might be that the dog cannot be rehabilitated. But states aren’t really dogs, they’re more like parasites to society. They may seem harmless or benign to a host when the conditions are right, but they can get super nasty in other context. But I agree that we should try to expel the parasite from the host whose life is in most danger first, even if at the cost of putting another parasite in its place. But sooner or later they all can become malign, even this much.
you should hate
the israelievery state and oppose its existence
There, ftfy.
If you have some fos licensed software it will be foss forever, that licence is a contract and doesn’t go away. Now the author(s) of that code can license it to other people or release the newer versions with a different non-foss licence.
They know their customers make unwise decisions. They got a bmw in the first place.
Who would build those robots? With which materials? No one is going into the mines or into a soul crushing factory production line if their needs are already met. If this survey were made to retail workers, for example, I bet it would be much closer to 100%. We aren’t getting ubi ever, not in our current society, because it literally would collapse in a few days without miserable, desperate fuckers that can’t afford quitting slowly killing ourselves to make the rich richer.
No secret at all that the rich are selling Europe piece by piece to the best bidder, with the blessing of our rulers.
That article only cites deaths due to autoerotic asphyxiation, which I haven’t seen or heard portrayed in porn, and says that are mostly men, which contradicts the stated objective of preventing harm to women. Have you even read the source you linked or the article, mate?
Well, where are all those deaths caused by choking during sex because of porn? I would bet that many more visits to er are caused by trying to emulate the sex in the bath tube while having a couple wine glasses around scenes so typical in ‘romantic’ movies/shows, than by all the kinks seen in porn together.
Parents should, and I’m aware many do, tell their children that tv, movies, porn… are meant to entertain, not teach, and they are very different from how real life things work.
Only porn allowed will be missionary position?
No. I think it’s a step by step approach, that will go further than that. After only missionary, they’ll make the actors get married before having any sex, all under the blankets and as clothed as possible, no condom or pulling out allowed either, and at the end of the scene it has to show the beautiful baby born nine months after. No gay porn, of course, or trans, interracial, more than to people (man™️ and woman™️)… sex is for procreation! How you dare enjoying it, you sinner!
fortune cookies, crab rangoon, and General Tso’s chicken
The other commenter specified ‘European’,as to remind that Europe is included in the term ‘western’, and I haven’t seen any of these here.
Also I think that calling a style developed by Chinese people, that had learned to cook from other Chinese people (and so on for many generations) ‘100% American’ is debatable at least.
I think you’re right with the kebab, I literally don’t know a single person that calls them ‘doner’, it’s always just kebab, and many kebab places where I live have dropped the doner as well.
G’day curd nerd! The cheese and desist thing was definitely a dick move by this Italian consortium, but iirc they later admitted that they had overstepped and ended in good terms with the Aussie youtuber.
they can’t force you to make food a specific way, right?
I see you’re not very familiar with the eu. They can and they do, if you want to call it some specific name they force you to do it in some specific way, or to source the ingredients or even make it in a specific place. It does make sense, in a way, but it also can get to ridiculous points some times.
You’re not far off. We don’t call it ‘federal government’ but in practice it’s exactly that, in the same line that we call the prime minister ‘presidente’.
I think it is unlikely. The us is extremely expensive compared to Russia or China, like a janitor in an American weapon factory is probably better paid (in absolute terms, not taking into account cost of living or anything) that a top engineer in a Russian or Chinese one. I don’t think they could afford them.
Well—2024, 2025—it does seem that there’ve been fewer shootings. But I can only average the 2024 total against two months, it’s possible that January and February are just slower months. Maybe some people don’t have money for bullets or even had to sell their guns to buy eggs for breakfast. Also the news and media are completely overloaded with Trump’s (and company) bullshit 24/7.
So the bad guys here are the ones preventing others to use their research… right?
Eu! Du ju habe a leucence fur dat neuf mait!?
There’s no such a thing as ‘middle class’. The working class is paying all of it.
