announce tariffs > market uncertainty > sell off stocks > value goes down > buy the dip > pause tariffs > markets recover > laugh all the way to the bank

or something like that

can we yeet all these individualistic, self-righteous fucks into a volcano already?

I'm so tired of having to convince these unempathetic, short-sighted dregs that caring about your fellow human is actually a good thing, and, y'know, kinda the whole basis to having a functioning civilization

what in the hell is going on

my mantra is "don't tempt fate"

could I e.g. jump off a 3 story building into a pool? probably. but if I'm wrong then I'm either dead or severely injured and will probably regret that jump for the rest of my life.

women's brains literally give them amnesia regarding the pain of childbirth, so they want another because they aren't traumatized and don't really remember the negative side because it'd be evolutionarily disadvantagous to be averse to procreating

getting kicked in the nuts has so such evolutionary pressure, so male brains don't help out when it happens lol

'Economic destiny'
"This will be an incredibly exciting time as we take control of our economic destiny to create a new Canadian economy," Carney said.

To this end, he promised to abolish existing trade barriers between Canadian provinces by July 1 to expand the economy, and to strengthen trade with "reliable allies".

this will be an exciting time indeed; I'm eager to see how this develops and Canada's economy decouples from the USA's and flourishes in spite of it

it's a golf course, which is, like, environmental imperialism or something. ecological deserts, wastes of water and space.

I say we repurpose it into a nature reserve, ie rip it all out and let nature take it back unimpeded, but under our protection

"I wish that none of this had happened"

"so do all who live too see such times, but that is not for them to decide. all we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us."

as hard as it to reconcile with the world disintegrating when you're coming together as a person (I'm in the same boat) I find the above quote gives me some courage to accept such a condition and to act steadfastly instead, as a testament that life is worth living and fighting for

those panels are more cost efficient because you can manufacture and then install them with poorer tolerances. the panels being smaller in general also means they cost less in materials to manufacture. and then, as a bonus, they allow the floor to be cleaned/mopped easier.

so, greed and laziness - the American way!

it's because they're sold by weight and since all the water is gone, the jerky pieces weigh so little. to then make a 16oz bag, you gotta add a lot of jerky. backtracking to make that happen means you need way more meat, which means way more money to buy that meat.

I agree though that the prices are ridiculous. I just think it helps to know why, too.

after watching that, AI is fucking weird

I read it as an incredibly insecure man can't stand the idea of having to be subservient to women. simple misogyny. although I wouldn't be surprised if there was, like, a subconscious sexual thing also

like, say, a Juul?

I heard that motherfucker had, like, thirty goddamn dicks

squish

this is the unjust wedding of 'masculinity' and 'being served'. going down on your lady isn't manly because you're serving her and her pleasure, elevating her experience above thine

this also manifests in how a man topping another man is not seen nearly as bad as a man bottoming, despite them both being homosexual acts

I wish being a good servant was seen as masculine and sexy. I mean, isn't Jesus supposed to be like the perfect moral examplar? the guy defended, and washed the feet of, those socially considered beneath him. if only more men tried to actually model their behavior like Jesus, modern society would be in a much better place for everyone, religious and otherwise

a missile headed his way. you're looking at it head-on, with black stabilizers, and the white tail is the smoke trail from being launched from the ground

when the world seems on fire
but you're told that it's fine
that's depression

well, eating anything breaks the fast, but yeah pretty much

this is just for online discourse and has no bearings on spoken vulgarity
