Dude, we have that in Europe already better than China and America combined.

China seems to be taking over the US in a lot of areas…

Yes.

I’ve always liked Dr. Doom a lot. Never had a good adaptation in movies, but he’s great in the comics.

And I will continue pirating all the series I ever want to watch.

So… Um…

Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, and Greenland will get merged together to become America’s 51st state?

Dumpster diving.

You’ll be distressed to find out how much shit your local supermarket throws out.

I guess I still use Bluesky?

Issue for me with social media is it feels like such an awful chore. I don’t understand how people basically live on a platform.

The guy is really well off. Works a desk job pushing finance papers for the American military. He believes his well paid job secures him from relying on anything at all.

I argued at length with an American who used to hang out in my friend group for a while. He couldn’t stand the idea that his taxes would pay for anything other than his own problems. He called it “giving free handouts”.

He’d repeatedly use arguments like “but if my taxes pay for healthcare, I’d be wasting my money on morbidly obese people who created their own problems”.

He also loved status and exclusivity.

Yeah, I don’t understand why those red boxes were added in the first place.

Low effort, badly kept, poor quality. Some combination of those three.

Ooh, thank you!

Everything about the creature is shadow, fire, and ash. So if his shadow extends like wings, then they’re wings, as shadow is literally part of a Balrog’s body.

This is the kind of shit that eventually leads to leaked classified documents on Warthunder forums.

This is honestly fascinating.

Can I get an unpaywalled link/article?

It got my timezone and location pretty spot on, though.

In my case it was incredibly accurate, except for one detail; the wire said I moved my finger over 600 times which… Seems hyperbolic.
