I’m someone’s favorite.
Oil companies and the ICE manufacturers that rely on them.
Changing production lines to EVs is expensive, and they want profits now. Not later. Line must go UP
My hope: increased costs make people demand domestic manufacturing, companies and governments actually listen and decide import costs aren’t worth it and move all manufacturing back inside their own borders.
Politicians like to bullshit about “job creation” all day, but this, massively expanding domestic manufacturing capabilities, would create more jobs than any program put out since WWII.
You don’t even have to criticize them. They literally block the word from getting used because they refuse criticism
THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPIONS
THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPIONS
Well, I could have gone into detail about their scientific and industrial value, but those aren’t what massively inflates their perceived importance and price.
Cool, I can burn it to ash with the tools in my garage.
Diamonds are shiny/glittery and hard, that’s about it.
I always confront those people with “and what do you think would happen to YOU in such a place? History doesn’t think it will be good” but then they double down or make some mental gymnastic leap to why it’s okay.
Surely the leopards won’t eat THEIR face.
If all the joint chiefs and secretaries of [thing] said “we will be marching in Ottowa in 3 days” it really doesn’t matter if the president said it. Because even if he hasn’t said it in a press conference to the world, he most certainly agrees with the people who DO think it’s a slam dunk.
I’m sure anything you said or linked would have been met with “that’s western propaganda” like they’re not shaking hands with MAGAts screeching fake news at things they don’t like.
My 6th grade teacher did exactly this, but went beyond normal nicknames and said if there’s ANYTHING you want to be called she would use that name instead. Granted, every teacher before that would hear the nicknames and just use them anyway, but this one went a step beyond that.
Not a single kid used their birth name. Some used regular nicknames, some used their parents nickname for them, and some chose something else. I went the cringier route and chose “silent hill because I like that game and I’m usually quiet” and sure enough she called me that all year. Had the nicknames down by the end of the week and still knew each child’s real name for when she’s talking to other adults.
I don’t see what the big deal is with using someone’s preferred name. Legitimately the only reason to not use it in this context is to be a piece of shit.
Never heard of it before, but now I know what I’m doing this evening.
All I’ve seen in response is “hurr wouldn’t happen without US military industrial complex”
I’ve been missing that one.
Which just tells me you’re right, no response to this so they default back to old rhetoric.
He said “communications platforms” not “misinformation, social engineering, and mass data collection platform masquerading as a social media platform”
So my nephew was talking mad shit the other day about gymnastics and how it’s “not a sport” and it’s “for weak girls”.
I asked him “If it’s so easy, why don’t you go do a couple flips and prove how easy it is?”
His sister answered saying “Last time he tried that he broke his foot!” and started laughing.
My nephew immediately glared at us and started crying.
Russia acts like my 10 year old nephew.
You would need a shovel just to find the bar.
My dad thinks climate change is a scam and “someone [i]s making a lot of money from it”
My dad also laments that the local lake doesn’t freeze over like it did when he was a teenager, DRIVING on top of it with his brothers.
Totally unrelated to climate change though. Cause that’s totes fake.
Also storms are more violent and frequent, winters are basically spring 2.0 now and the local river has flooded way past historic levels and could threaten the downtown area of their city within the decade.
But all that is SOOOOOOO unrelated.
I’d love for the US to go completely hands-off the middle east if only just to stop comments like this up that seem to think one country can somehow be responsible for tons of other countries meddling in the same area.
I mean, I want that so people will stop being ripped apart by us-made explosives, tax money stops being wasted, and focus more on improving things for the people within it’s own borders and making it more inclusive to outsiders, but stopping comments like that is a nice little bonus.
What percentage of their DNA is from Homo Neanderthalensis?
At this point, I’m almost positive that a republican US president could sign a treaty with north Korea, China, Russia, and Fucking Thanos, and everyone launches nukes, and world leaders and media outlets alike (that survive the ensuing shit show) would STILL beat around the bush and ask “What’s all this, then?” like things aren’t glaringly obvious.
“Well we can’t report reality, or we might get accused of bias…” is getting old.
Even SSTO is still ONE STAGE
But they inconvenienced people! Mutilation is a MUST!
Yes, why don’t these poor farmers who have nowhere else to go simply BUY large plots of land?
Let them eat cake.
