I dunno. Until very recently Europe at large benefited quite a bit from America’s pro military attitude. I could see European psyops designed to stoke that particular flame.

Stop, no. Don’t do it. You’ll make billionaires mad bro don’t do it.

And the US depends on China.

If you rearrange them you can get Neergdanl. Which sounds like but isn’t a Scandinavian word that means “Epstein didn’t kill himself”

That presumes the law works for you.

The police state loves that they can just buy the data the big tech companies are happily farming. No warrants, no judges, no pesky civil rights to get in the way. Just full time monitoring.

Video is posted to Bluesky. The agent walks up to her car window and starts shooting almost immediately. One through the windshield the others through the driver’s side window.

“hey know how we cut a few developers loose and they created an iconic video game without our oversight? Should we do that again and forsake all profits and consumer goodwill a second time??”

That’s certainly an interesting take

For whom

Sell them to who?

Well see, they’re going to vote blue again this year and again in 3 years. Because that’s worked so fucking well the last 8 times

Now is maybe not the time to throw “not all men” around.

Now is the time to actively resist and prove to the rest of the world yourself an ally in a global fight against fascism taking command of the largest military on the planet.

the only reason they haven’t taken Taiwan is because they wouldn’t have been able to hold it against the west

Eeeeh I’m not so sure about that anymore.

I suspect losing trading partners is the biggest deterrent. As soon as controlling the supply of Taiwanese microchips becomes more financially viable than making billions of tons of cheap goods every year, China will take Taiwan. And the US naval fleet will either be cruise missiled to the bottom of the ocean or we’ll just quietly walk back our threats to defend it.

They literally can’t. Nor can the US dump theirs.

The US, the EU, and China are economically tied to one another. One of the reasons there hasn’t been a shooting war between the East and West is how much we depend on the other’s economy. Without foreign backed assets, there’s nothing to trade against.

Chinese made goods are bought with American dollars. If they’re not putting them back in to the US, there’s no need to take them in the first place. And then who, exactly, would China be making all that crap for?

5k ish negative reviews and they seem to come in two flavors, multiplayer bugs and too repetitive.

Okay boomer

Sounds like something someone who would want to hide the Epstein files would say

Lobster is only ok. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything with lobster in it that wasn’t independently good, or improved in any meaningful way with lobster.

That said, when lobster was viewed the way you’re describing, it was seen as more of a pest. There was so much lobster freely available, it was literally piling up on beaches. No one was fishing for lobsters, they were just scooping them up and then making a rather revolting stew with them. That was being served to prisoners as a form of penance, meant to be bland and unstimulating. Sandy guts and all.

You can just put them in the fridge. They don’t need to be in the freezer.

Then drive a knife through their head. Dead before they know what’s happening.
