The spending number is nominal.

It's also not adjusted for population or GDP.

Completely useless.

I don't even understand the words. I'm trying to figure out if he thinks it's bad that they put something special in a generic carafe, or good that they used something "modern"?

I'm leaning toward the latter (and disagree, seems like it would detract from the experience, but in the end, who the fuck cares?), but I'm not sure.

It sounds like your asking the question from the perspective of someone with a parliamentary system where the prime minister is chosen by the majority party or coalition. That is not the case in the U.S., the president is elected completely independently from our legislators.

While there is a provision to remove the president due to incapacitation, and there has been talk of applying that to Trump's mental decline, the bar is high. The vice president and a majority of the cabinet (which were chosen by, and serve at the pleasure of, the president) have to petition Congress and if the president says no disability exists both houses of Congress have to agree by a 2/3 vote to remove him for disability.

The more likely route is impeachment, but this is also a high bar. A simple majority in the House of Representatives impeaches the president, but that just means sending him to the Senate for trial where a 2/3 majority is required to convict and remove him.

Don't hold your breath for it.

Word. I am very much not a fan of Iran but the attack was unprovoked and killed a fuckton of kids. We deserve every "bad" term in that deal, and then some.

Daytona has a long racing history that goes back to before the speedway was there. Back then they used to race on the beach because it's long, straight, and flat. That's where the tradition of driving on the beach comes from and it's considered part of the local culture and a defining aspect of that part of Florida. That's why there is so much resistance to getting rid of it.

The site appears to indicate edits. The first post shows edited a week ago.

I don't know how hard it would be to manipulate that at the admin level, if it's even possible, or if any of the users in the screenshot are admins. Maybe someone that knows more about whatever platform they're using can help.

Edit: You can go to nicecrew.digital, where a couple of the posters are from and without signing in, hit explore, search posts for the exact wording for Classic Tyler's first post (I'm sending Johnny an invoice), and you'll get this thread.

You only get the nicecrew replies, the rest won't load, maybe because poa.st, where the OP is from, seems fucked up right now, maybe due to all the traffic caused by this investigation, lol.

Nicecrew.digital indicates edits with an icon. None of these posts have the icon.

Unless this is a coordinated cover-up by admins of multiple instances removing indications of editing (and I don't even know if that's possible) what you can see right now on wayback, annihilation.social, and nicecrew.digital is legit. The feddit screenshot is a fabrication.

Edit#2: You can also go to detroitriotcity.com, search for alexmussolini88's (jfc, these people) post, and get the whole thing. Again, with no indication of edits outside of the OP.

No, no, not a capitalist dictatorship, socialism with [insert name of high school] characteristics.

When I've traveled internationally, both during his first presidency and recently, people would occasionally ask me what I thought about him. I would tell them and they would often say something like "that's what everyone I've talked to seems to think," in a somewhat accusatory way (or maybe my embarrassment makes me a little paranoid,) like we are not being honest.

And I basically say what you just said. Sure, there are probably a few trump supporting liars among those you've spoken to, but for the most part, trump supporters are incurious people, scared of everything, and not interested in experiencing new things and places.

A trump supporter (he would just say Republican, but there is no difference imo) I work with just took his family on an international vacation for the first time about a month ago. He went to Costa Rica and stayed in a resort. When he got back and people asked him about it he would say "it's great, the resort had everything you need, there were lots of English TV stations with American programming, tons of 'normal' food, and everybody in stores spoke English" (in the little strip of stores right outside the resort designed to give just the right amount of 'local flavor' without being scary). That's about as adventurous as I imagine the average magat to be.

I'd want the powers of the Jessica Jones villain played by David Tennant where you can make anyone do anything. But instead of using it to rape and shit I'd make rich people turn their homes into homeless shelters and give their wealth away and I could just walk out of any bank or store with whatever I wanted.

Get a shower drain with a removable catch basket, even if it means having tile work done. It will pay dividends in the future lack of plumbing bills.

Unless you rent, then encourage her to brush her hair in the shower.

Outstanding

Apparently the term "long pig" for human flesh originated because we taste like pork. I wonder if butchered cuts of human look like pork too.

That's where making them give their wealth away comes in. The homeless shelter thing is more of a "fuck you" than a practical solution.

You ain't wrong, but this is shit done within the settler communities to other Jews, not the Palestinians.

I don't disagree, but it is the symbol the honored dead fought under. In context I think it's fine, but if you're using it today, that's different.

I read this and for two seconds I thought "Oh, someone with some empathy and morals that shouldn't be doing this, how nice," then I remembered what species I'm a part of.

If the sun passes in front of the moon, we've got a fucking problem.

Russia has been one big slow societal collapse since forever. In The Big Book of Russian History every chapter starts with "and then somehow things got even worse."

Why, what did they...ooohhh

You have to oversignal in modern BMWs or the wheel vibrates and tries to correct the other direction. Forced merges, lane splitting, any deviation from straight down the middle even when it's obvious that you have to do that thing, the car bitches at you if you don't signal.
