China has been doing that for years. They have invested heavily into African countries and built tons of infrastructure there that they then claim they own if the country defaults on debts.

The difference being that a lot of millennials know how to figure out how to do stuff on computers by doing basic research. I’ve found a lot of my Gen-z friends to be more helpless in that regard.

You can usually tell it that you want to skip bagging up to a certain number of items, at least at the stores near me.

Could also be the thousands each week he was receiving from his anti-vaccine non profit.

One side hates this country for how it has oppressed minorities, and committed atrocities in the name of profit. The other side thinks the country isn’t committing enough atrocities against minorities. So I would say equating the two is disingenuous.

It’s worse than that. As all international airports count as “the border” so any place within 100 miles (might be 200 actually) falls under that purview.

Doing it while they are actively commiting a genocide is tantamount to a war crime. No one should care about technicalities in a situation like war. These are real people, children, losing their lives.

You can buy one printer and make a labs worth of microscopes for a school or business.

My sister when she was younger loved sitting in front of the fireplace and warming her back, and burned herself multiple times without noticing. Not saying it’s common, but it’s certainly a possibility.

And all of the money they have is still dwarfed in comparison to only 400 people. I’m not saying their wealth isn’t extravagant but most actors didn’t receive their wealth from exploiting millions of working class people.

Oh shut the fuck up. You can be fine with Jewish people and recognize that Israel is commiting a genocide at the same time. Well, I can because I have more than 3 functioning braincells, it might be harder for you but I’m sure if you try hard enough you might get there one day.

I’m sure many Jewish people felt the same way in 1940s Germany.

Light cones aren’t exactly literal cones of time, they are an abstraction to help us understand the mathematics of time and space. (Assuming you are talking about Penrose diagrams.)

Ahh yes I’m sure the people whose cars were burned won’t simply get a new one. This effectively released lots of bad chemicals into the air and did nothing to reduce the number of cars on the road.

This was 100% me this year. Had a bit of a mental health crisis followed by a huge string of bad luck, including COVID and then contracting RSV a month later. Thankfully I also found a good therapist and got an amazing dog so even despite all of that I feel stronger mentally than I have in a decade!

Yes? Do you think all the people in every magazine you’ve seen, or product advertisement, was rich? It’s rare for a model to actually be rich, usually modeling has to be a side gig that they can use to support themselves, it’s rarely a full time job.

Boeing has like 40% of the commercial airline market. It being a Boeing plane does not automatically mean it’s Boeing’s fault. Now I won’t defend Boeing here, they’re a shell of their former self and a piece of shit manufacturer nowadays. But this plane was made like 15 years ago. It could easily be up to maintenance from the airline, or other circumstances like bird strike.

Is that including all known deposits? Or just the amount in current mines?

I feel like it’s even bigger than that. Since the AI boom it’s become increasingly clear that our society has completely devalued humanity as a social concept. Companies acting like it’s terrible to ever interact with another human. Schools acting like teaching is something to be automated. Dating apps trying to integrate AI to message people for you. Our society is going insane.

Seriously. Teachers aren’t just some machines spewing out lessons. They are meant to be a trusted adult in a kids life. Someone they can learn social norms from and someone they can go to if they need an adult they can trust that isn’t their parents. I can foresee kids who go to this school having a much harder time getting away from abusive parents.
