I have a working theory that Donald Duck comics never got popular in the US because of the ever-present scathing critique of capitalism

Somehow I doubt this will affect Ticketmaster, the biggest scalper of all
How is this even legal? As a European I can't understand how anyone falls for this blatant anti-union propaganda. They are obviously beneficial to workers (that's literally why they exist) and I've never had to run anything by my union unless I believe I'm being unfairly treated by my employer.
This would only work if Republicans cared at all about logic, which they absolutely fucking don't
For real, most of the pictures I have of my girlfriend are gorgeous, but she thinks they're hideous. I wish I could accurately convey to her how beautiful I think she is.
The UI of Youtube is actually not bad. What is bad is how the search function has gone to shit, constant promotion of youtube Shorts taking up half the screen, and the algorithm getting steadily worse at recommending videos.
The interface itself is pretty easy to navigate.
USA: Spends billions on hostile infrastructure to keep homeless people out of sight from the rich
Scandinavia: Just builds lots of free apartments, turning the homeless people into productive workers, thus injecting a lot more money into society
Capitalism only makes sense if you're exclusively looking out for yourself, and if you happen to be at the top.
Wait until you hear about banks lol
They open after everyone's at work and close before anyone finishes work
Because fuck you, that's why
Good. Why not ban those oversized SUVs while you're at it? They're a serious danger to children and they're not even good at hauling stuff!
A refreshing take for sure, and even though Bernie is Jewish he sees this cruel regime for what it really is. There are no excuses for harming innocent civilians, ever!
That's a bit offensive to whores. They only sell their bodies, he's selling democracy.
I know "state-funded media" is an ominous word to Americans, but most European countries have their own government broadcaster and news organization, entirely funded through taxes.
Those generally offer high-quality non-biased journalism (of course it's always based on how authoritarian the government is). The British BBC, the Swedish SVT, the German DW etc. are all publicly owned broadcasting companies.
Hmm maybe putting in rate limits, thus greatly reducing the amount of time people spend on the app, isn't the best strategy for a platform whose main source of revenue comes from advertising?
I think Germany has actually accepted a lot more responsibility for the atrocities they've committed, compared to nearly every other European nation guilty of colonialism and genocide. I have British friends who were taught almost nothing about Britain's colonial past in school, while every German has to learn about the Holocaust in school.
In a way I understand Germany's reluctance to compare a Jewish ethnostate to Nazism, considering what they did to the Jews 80 years ago. But I think that comparison is completely justified and Germany should know better. Israel is an apartheid state, and Netanyahu is one Auschwitz away from being just like Hitler.
Runk means masturbation in Icelandic so that adds another layer of hilarity to this
But if the phones don't break every 2 years then slightly fewer people will buy the latest phone! Won't somebody please think of the shareholders?
McDonald's operates in many, many countries, several of which require minimum wage way higher than what they pay workers in the US. I'm sure they'll be fine.
You see the same shit on streaming services. "Oh this show has been out for two days and hasn't reached Game of Thrones level of popularity already? Let's remove it from existence forever."
Honestly, the fact that Calvin and Hobbes had an ending makes us all look more fondly upon it.
Bill Watterson's approach was the exact opposite of what Jim Davis did, which was selling out completely with no regard to the actual quality of the comics. Garfield is basically a brand at this point, Calvin and Hobbes was art.
