US riots will always be localized or at least treated as such by the media, and thus isolated from the rest of the country. It’ll just be more city riots that further divide both sides, giving one justification for cracking down on the other

As in, it is perpetually 4:20 PM on the moon?

Why does Xi think he gets any say? He’s showing his full hand already, and it’s actually pathetic. Already saying that it will have to be taken by force. So he’s admitting that the people of Taiwan, if given a choice, may not choose to join China. Let’s give everyone a vote guaranteed by international overwatch, none of those mainland representatives.

This is just another dictator having a whiny shitstorm threatening to take territory by force just because they want their historical empire.

That’s why they play a whole different game than us. He isn’t worried about paying back that interest or loan, he’s trying to find a way to make that $2m pay him back 1% or more per interest period. They never have to consider the loan amount, because those interest and payments will be done in 10 years while the profits from that loan will explode into hundreds of millions.

See? Anyone can do it, it’s honestly really fucking easy to come up with a million dollar idea. The hard part is that first couple million dollars. If you aren’t born with it, you will literally never have access to that type of wealth.

There’s some real vitriol packed up in this comment. Try not to take it out on the cashiers :)

No but we can estimate the total age before cosmic inflation renders the universe cold and so far spread out so as to be considered “dead”

That timeline is around 10^27 years, of which we only right now have been around for about 10^9. So we are VERY young compared to the max age. On the cosmological timescale, we are still “being born”

We do! Ants have been involved in millions of experiments, and that is how we know so much of their society and entomology. We CAN communicate with them using pheromones and food sources. It’s actually quite simple, really. They just don’t have much to say beyond what we observe. It’s not like we suddenly start seeing unique chemical trails so they can communicate with their overlords, so I suppose they don’t perceive us as other beings in the world.

Sylver ,

Oh yeah, filled up dump trucks of it. Every year in the fall my grandfather would order a ton (probably more like 10 tons) of coal and it was up to all of us to shovel it out and divide for everyone to use and share

Sylver ,

Seriously, this should just be one hand. Obviously all anthropologists are gothic bikers.

Sylver ,

There was some Morgan Freeman movie about this exact thing, only they were bracelets. And the ring, in the movie, had some kind of 10-second recall time travel quality. Weird movie. But same thing!

Whatever this was needs to be re-uploaded

Edit: It has been fixed!

YouTube did it when Google bought them and changed everyone’s unique username to their Google account (real) name

This is what happens right before the major money holders abandon ship. There’s no way they don’t know this is business-suicide. I bet they got a big payday from some companies that paid Glassdoor to shoot itself in the face!

Sylver ,

But how is my money supposed to trickle down to me if it’s not in the hands of the few? :( now I just have all this money… and affordable inhalers!

Sylver ,

If I lose $10,000, that’s on me and my own situation. Musk has essentially wasted resources, time, manpower, and the very blood/sweat/tears from who knows how many humans on this planet. We need to eat the rich, not let them drag us down with their own poor decisions

Sylver ,

As someone working for a small business owner, I sure as fuck wish the economy would boom so my wage could go up as well. We just don’t have any customers with expendable income, and our products are on a “wanted not needed” priority. If I had the capital to start my own, more successful, business, I would.

As someone from Central Pennsylvania with only 300 total students from K-12th grade, we are simultaneously drowning and shooting ourselves in the foot with the local R’s we put on school boards

Sylver ,

I wish to share my most sincere gratitude and love with the service member and their family. According to the article this is the second self immolation outside an Israeli embassy in the US.

Israel is committing genocide, and the US is complicit. Don’t let anyone forget that.

Sylver ,

Does that count though? If it isn’t even legal to live in yet, I think we should add rebuilding costs to be accurate. I could afford that $10,000 with help from the bank, but wouldn’t have the first idea how much it would cost me to make it livable. Can you still get a mortgage or house loans on materials to rebuild?

Sylver ,

By their own definition, anything that happens DOES happen through God, so IVF and scientific breakthroughs should shed even more beauty on God. But… no, they spit in the face of science. I’m pretty sure God would be the biggest space/science nerd in any room.

Sylver ,

That was the Soviet Union and their scientists. Russia WISHES they could claim that invention!

Sylver ,

Not to mention the horrific consequences of Kessler Syndrome when space is weaponized with any explosive ordinance…

Sylver ,

By law, no. In effect, yes. Putin has very little stopgaps in his power, very few who can bring up bureaucracy and regulations to slow down his power train.

Sylver ,

Spoken like someone who hasn’t tried applying to degree-mandatory industries

Sylver ,

Then you should know that you can’t just get a degree from reading books at the library, right? You can teach yourself everything, but that doesn’t mean society will recognize it unless you build your own business from the ground up and earn an “honorary” degree.

And if you can afford to do that, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

Sylver ,

That could be misinterpreted to mean “turn around and go back the way you came”

Sylver ,

The article shows that the lists are made via birth date, not chronological age

Kinda like how I was let into Kindergarten (5+) at age 4, though we didn’t have any old-lady races :(

Sylver ,

Five years should be enough time for a bullet to find Putin. If not, just start a couple fights and hope they let you stay longer

Sylver ,

The world is MUCH larger than 50 states and 300 million people, and Palworld specifically is an international game with Japanese publishers

Sylver ,

If you’re on the side of black market drugs and oppressive violence, it is very effective at farming those negative qualities in a society.

I would wait for the cold months to pass. You’ll be paying more for heating, but if you play it right you can save on air conditioning this summer.

On one hand, this has got to be public trolling. On the other, it’s still a bill calling for a classification of people to be removed from society. If it weren’t so scary it would be funny.

US seizes more illegal e-cigarettes, but thousands of new ones are launching (apnews.com)

Federal officials are seizing more shipments of unauthorized electronic cigarettes at U.S. ports, but thousands of new flavored products continue pouring into the country from China, according to government and industry data reviewed by The Associated Press....

My tri-town area has 32 smoke shops for under 50,000 people. It’s strange.

Sylver ,

I’m in the unique position of being one of those smoke shop owners. We don’t deal in any nicotine, though we did sell those “ELF bars” for a few short months just trying out the market.

I want no part in selling nicotine after that experience, the customers are an entirely different breed. It’s actually quite easy making a business out here based on trust and transparency; I only source from 3 well known companies that use third party testing, and I LOVE educating people about the different forms of THC found in cannabis.

If we didn’t do anything special to distinguish us, we would have failed like the last 50 smoke shops around the area.

Sylver ,

Nope, any vape stuff I sell is now only cannabis CBD/THC related. No nicotine, no flavored nothingness, everything must be purchased by 21+ years of age. (Pennsylvania). Those box vape mod kits and vape juice shit take up so much shelf space that I can’t justify trying to compete with all the other stores that DO sell that stuff. I stay in my lane and offer the best deals on what I know.

So it just boils down to those products being on a shelf don’t make as much money as THC vape products on the same shelf. So much less, that I probably would have to downsize other inventories

Sylver ,

At $20 a pop, with some nicotine addicted habits of buying a new one every other day, that’s over $3,500 a year for just one customer.

Sylver ,

You are wishing for so much death and destruction, you know.

That little comment is really damning of your morals. I really hope you get some help. Fuck you.

Sylver ,

I reported it for terroristic threats. They were basically wishing for more bombing, with specifics.
