Uncut Gems, for pretty much the same reason a lot of people liked it.

The word itself is ancient, and cognates in other European languages are used the same way. To go outside the region and language family, the Chinese version is "fuck your mother".

Sex is a common topic of profanity around the world, and the way things are referenced in a set expression often won't make literal sense. So in other words, it's probably a phrase that's appeared over and over again since we evolved.

Other languages have very different profanity, though.

74? That seems like an example is being made.

Hey, they never said they had a problem with it. They just asked for a connection back to the subject.

Yep. All of the sudden, the "great satan" stuff seems a lot more credible, and anybody who was calling for detente with the West looks really foolish.

On the other hand, there's a lot of fresh faces at the top of the hierarchy now. Maybe gradual reform will be more possible, whenever this chapter of history ends. For now, 74 lashes for the celebrity, so nobody forgets who makes the rules.

Yep, it's definitely not in the American national anthem, and they definitely don't like calling people redcoats still. /s

Well, that's an interesting response. Good job.

Ah, but the Americans are only there because of the British. And the British, only because of the Normans.

Or were you hoping to stop history wherever supports this conclusion?

Depends how you use it. And which coin - before Q day comes Monero is pretty private, but Bitcoin is transparent.

Bubbles always burst eventually, just wait for it.

Although, without the grift, it would be super illegal, so should we really complain?

Fake money for criminals is unironically a decent addition to the world, although it's coded in a really dumb way. Plagiarism machine is overhyped right now, but it also has some legit uses.

So, the poll actually seems about right.

It was, but tech lawlessness swings both ways, or has so far, and it's worth mentioning.

Don't forget the auto industry, people who work in the auto industry, and China hawks.

Like, sure, it's a very guarded concession to China, but US pressure is hardly the only motivation for that.

Except I'd bet better off people are still less likely to have kids.

Part of it is going to be unrealistic expectations on parents. Part of it will just be that people kinda want kids, but not to the point they're willing to give up a giant chunk of money, and there's less and less cultural momentum to do it anyway.

However many thousand auto workers would disagree. As would a look at margins on auto manufacturing, and the difference between US and Canadian prices.
