Serious question, why are those who hit a bully get punished instead? No wonder there is rise of authoritarianism because the bully are practically worshipped and given a pass. Bullying is embedded in the culture.

you guys are in this mess because of “experienced candidates”. Experienced doesn’t mean good.

So much for lesser evil!

Well the US oligarchy is trying to recreate feudalism for the modern age. So you’re not far off.

It’s a catch 22 for Putin. If he quits the war now, he will face domestic coup because it showed how weak he is. If he continues the war longer, it will jeopardise the entire future of the Russian country even further.

They are undoing New Deal. It’s all part of the plan.

Humans are strange in even assigning plants for specific genders. Just grow whatever the hell they want.

Tbf, primaries are carefully orchestrated by elites of both parties to make sure only their preferred factions dominate the primary ballots. Signing up to register in Republican and Democratic parties are intentionally made to be hard.

I, too, am tired of these “any minute now” nonsense about Russia’s potential fall. The problem with people is the craving for instant gratification and results. We’re so pathetic in that regard.

People with longer optics will say that Putinist Russia will fall, but it will be at any time in the coming years. It’s always a slow burn just like US decline since Iraq and Afgan war. Imperialist escapades will always have negative consequences to the imperialist state which reverberate across time. The only winner coming out of both US and Russian declines is China. Maybe India and Brazil will benefit from this as well. Perhaps Europe as well if Europe could decouple from the US in due time.

Anything but socialised housing!

This is feudalism in another name. This is precisely techno-feudalism to give it a more updated term.

And being fed by humans is amazing.

Mmmm…mammoth fillets…

We laugh at this, but the older generations still remember when the mortgage interest was this high. I don’t know where you guys are from, but there is an old news reel from the 1970s here in Ireland when young families at the time complained of “high” house prices of up to 72,000 pounds, with mortgage interest of 14%. The folks on social media had their jaws dropped on learning of how high the interest rate was, but how cheap the overall property value was back then. Now how much are those said houses at the moment? They are now worth between €690,000 to €1.5 million. High valuation but the interest rate is down in proportion. In any case, only few could afford to buy houses these days due to inflation and wages haven’t kept up with it.

WHAT’S IN THE AIR FRYER?!

Someone probably tried to teach him how rare earths are important to manufacture electronics like he is five years old. And like a five year old he is, he of course didn’t understand.

Companies go along where the social pendulum swings. Only few companies genuinely care of social progress.

Apparently Chuck Schumer already knew those 8 Dems will cross the aisle.

I would probably just consider an old mate a Facebook friend now, not a personal friend anymore, because keeps posting far right stuff online even though he is a brown immigrant. And at the very least, I hope he isn’t a pedophile.

Roosevelt was a social liberal. He believed in state intervention on economy only if required. He went hands off sometime after his first term when when the economy improved. But when US had a mini-recession during the Depression, he put his hands back again on the steering wheel.

Reactance is weird. When I was in school my parents telling me to study actually puts me off from studying. But now I am a working adult, I had to let being bossed around by peers from another team that I support so that I don’t get into trouble. Good thing I got a promotion so I don’t have to deal with them eejits.
