I don’t think that’s what the elites intend. I think their arrogance will lead them to think they can control something they don’t understand and that will bite us all in the ass

I’m fully convinced that AI will destroy our ability to process financial transactions through the internet. The digital economy is toast. We will be back to paying cash in person for everything.

How about bananas? If you can get yourself to eat a banana some time during the day separate from your main meal, that’s all bonus. Plus it’s got lots of vitamins you definitely need.

Corn and corn meal are also cheap and high energy. Grits are a poor person food staple in parts of the world for a reason.

Onions aren’t the highest energy density veggie, but they are cheap and make other food taste MUCH better. Green onions in particular are one of my favorites. The best part is you can take the green onions and put them in a glass on your window sill with an inch of water. Trim the tops and cook with them. They will keep growing back for quite a while, so very cost effective. Just make sure you change the water every couple days so they don’t get slimy.

The tricky thing with continents is how the ocean currents affect the weather. For example the current flowing north from the equator past the UK keeps them relatively temperate while they have the same latitude as Canada.

The cycle of nutrients in the ocean is also temperature dependent. The cold water on the sea bottom concentrates the nutrients from decaying matter. Currents are needed to spread these nutrients. If cold water was trapped in circumpolar currents, warm waters could become depleted and unable to sustain much sea life.

Are they this quick to resort to lethal violence though?

Nineteen seconds elapsed from when Stillman got out of his squad car to when he shot Toledo.

There is also the gun factor. Self defense is not generally accepted as a reason to own a gun in France, so there is no self defense carry. That automatically makes the cops less likely to react suddenly and violently.

I wish people would realize that the ability to protest is directly tied to social safety net.

You get beaten by a cop, you will get free healthcare that is not directly tied to your job. In the US, if you do have healthcare, it is tied to your job and your job can fire you for protesting if they want (unlike France we have no protection for being fired for political opinion).

Hell, we all pay for other people’s healthcare now! When people go to the emergency room and can’t afford to pay, the hospitals crank up the cost of everyone else’s healthcare to make up for it. We have literally the least cost effective system possible.

See, I think after the midterms they are going to kick him out for Vance and try and parlay the next two years into 2 presidential terms for him.

I grew up fishing using lead split shot sinkers. The common practice is biting down on them to crimp them onto the line. Lead is still the standard. I don’t want to think about how much of that is in my system.

I live in a two party consent state same as Maryland and the law only applies if you have an expectation of privacy. There is no expectation of privacy in a public place OR in a crowd of people.

“Nothing good lasts, nothing bad lasts. The only constant is change.”

It’s definitely a love letter to black music and culture in general. Putting two goofy white guys in front of it all made it palatable to white audiences. Also, the big villains were racist hicks and white supremacists.

Antidemocratic revolutionaries, aka fucking fascists.

Go back to your own country. Quit fucking with ours you fascist fuck.

I was banned by GodlessCommie just the other day after I caught him admitting he isn’t American.

Ugh. I hate how right this is

I do have a wisdom tooth coming out next week …
