They’re about 25 years late with this nonsense. Yeah borking trade will slow China down a little but not very much. And at insane expense to everyone involved.

Raise a generation or two on non-stop propaganda and that’s what you get. From very young age they get taught in school that the whole world hates all Jews for no reason. Even allies are just pretending and should not be trusted.

Now do one about dictatorship and judicial independence. See how the map looks. These are just bullshit virtue signaling resolutions that have no impact on anything.

Meow >:)

Man haven’t seen old Zippy in years. Good to see he’s still going strong.

No, someone else is doing something worse than me so I’m absolved. I can do what I want.

I mean I’m no fan of the Musk brigade, but I’m not ready to “pink mist” people based on a list of names someone I don’t know spread on the internet.

6 years of evil medical school doesn’t qualify as professional credentials? Also I’d put Dr. Phil below most of these guys, although maybe slightly above Hannibal Lector still.

I don’t understand this article. Just last week the news here was that our prisons are overcrowded and we are considering leasing prison space in Eastern Europe. Maybe it’s only certain types of prisons that have shortages? Guess I should look into it a bit more.

Yeah agreed, all life is sacred except the ones we don’t like.

Not really all that strange. I’m not up on how this particular vote went but if 39% is in favor only 23% needs to abstain for the ‘against’ vote to be in the minority. Also counting by percentage of the total population is misleading and kind of dumb, we’re never going to have individual referenda for this type of decision making and thank god for that. That’s how we got Brexit.

Aside this form of Musk style “interesting 🤔” rhetoric really raises my hackles.

Taiwan is incredibly pro-US, one of our staunchest allies in Asia, together with Japan. Great idea pissing them off.

My girlfriend lies on my right arm, so she’s on the right side of the bed and I’m on the left.

Scientrix?

It might not work eh? Might it though? I hate this kind of weasel headline almost as much as the constant “slamming”. Just say what you’re going to say.

What will keep you safe is not selling your business to a mega corp.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I’m concerned, scrolling purists be damned.

As opposed to the right which is extremely adept at sending its own people to the poorhouse in order to slave for the super wealthy. But hey the economy is flying!

The trouble with our left is that they are incredibly ineffective and increasingly have no idea how to promote their ideas to the population. We’re lucky to have a fairly strong socialist political heritage to live off of but it’s dwindling quickly and the current left has not been able in the least to gain new political capital.

In the last elections in my country the key issue was considered to be living wages, in light of the extreme inflation as a result of the Ukraine war. This is supposed to be the left’s wheelhouse. The previous center-right government made a huge mess of things, ended their run with a few major scandals right before the election. This should have been slam dunk for the left.

But they made no concrete statements about anything, presented no clear party program, just some generic polite and well-meaning “we should take care of everyone and oh yes racism is bad” They got absolutely hammered by a coalition of center-right and extreme-right.

Shareholders: you doubled your profit last year, so I expect you to do it again this year.
