I don’t think anyone has been a victim of demonic possession, ever, actually.

If I had half a billion dollars I can promise you I would be spending zero seconds of the rest of my life screwing in door hinges.

I’m located in the same country as my instance. Nothing complicated.

Contrarianism can be taken to the point of a mental disorder.

Boy, when that AI bubble pops it’s gonna pop like a nuclear explosion.

Uh, no…? You are aware the USSR collapsed in '91 and the modern Russia is very much not left wing in any sense? Ostensibly or otherwise. There was that whole Shock Therapy thing where they went capitalist in the most destructive way possible.

41 years old. I generally catch a cold once every couple of years. It will last a couple days to maybe a week if it’s bad. This is about the same as it’s been since I quit smoking 15 years ago. I haven’t noticed any change in injury healing time.

In practice, liberals and anarchists call anyone who defines themselves as a communist a tankie. Liberals will frequently use it for anyone who claims to be any sort of socialist.

I know your country produces some pretty good olympic weightlifters.

If Japan and South Korea go through with this perhaps we could purchase some from them (or elsewhere, UK, France, hell, even China) to cover us while we work on a domestic program.

I don’t trust them not to invade us without that protection, anyways.

Hey Canada…We should be thinking about this, also.
