Yeah this definitely feels like they’re just trying to bring them out of hiding so they can start exterminating them again.

Nostalgia is a nuanced word that takes some thought to explain, and we can’t really communicate with them to ask the kinds of questions we need to in order to get that answer.
But it’s well documented that dogs remember humans and other dogs for their entire lives, and that in my opinion does indicate some kind of retrospection.
Whether they feel it the same way we feel it is something we can’t know. But they probably think about it from time to time if it’s not overwritten by new memories.

Ragebait.
People are more likely to correct someone else on incorrect information or call them out on low effort content because it satisfies an innate human need for validation.
In this case validating one’s own intelligence. People like to feel smart and the easiest way to achieve that feeling is to make someone else look less smart.

If he did it once, it would have been an extremely low but still non-zero chance that it wasn’t a Nazi salute.

He did it twice though, it’s now firmly a 0% chance of any kind of coincidence, misunderstanding, etc.

Thus far he’s made no comment, not even to deny the Nazi intent.
No apology, no backtrack, no denial, he did it twice.
It was exactly what it appeared to be and nothing less.

I’ve seen this posted a few times and there’s always comments explaining how this is actually Biden’s fault.
Don’t get me wrong, I know he wasn’t the best president but if anyone thinks he was as bad or worse than Trump, they’re delusional.
I wish I was disappointed with another 4 years of an ineffective centrist who didn’t do enough to prevent the genocide.
Instead we have to watch as we actively participate in, and facilitate, the acceleration of the extermination.

Ask them to pay you for the holiday and overtime for your time worked, they’ll suggest you take a day off real quick.

The article is three short paragraphs and has the answer at the bottom.
If people cannot be bothered to read beyond headlines we are truly fucked.

That’s the point, planned obsolescence.
Shut down the Wii U online services to force people to buy newer hardware. If people create their own “unauthorized” services then, in their eyes, they’re losing sales.
I imagine it’s not too long before the software starts including an end of life date that bricks devices after a certain date.

As a cornfed brick-shithouse built Midwestern hairy dude in my late-30s, I’d do it right now if there were a market for chubby hairy dudes but I know better and I’d rather not embarrass myself.

When you were thinking about buying $100 of Bitcoin when they were $0.20 a piece, fucking do it, then sit on it for a decade.

I seriously thought about it, and talked myself out of it because it sounded like a good way to lose $100 and it would probably only lose value anyway.

It would be worth $50 million today.

The best time to get into crypto was at the very beginning, it’s not even worth gambling with now.

I had a job once making plastic handles for garden hose sprayer nozzles, we had cheap aluminum Chinese made hose nozzles that we plastic molded a handle around that said “made in USA” proudly on the side and completely covered the “made in China” stamped into the metal.
This was legal because the handle was indeed made in the USA, but it was advertised on the packaging in a way that implied the whole thing was made in the USA when it reality it was just the plastic grip.

The only thing that is going to accomplish is increasing profit margins for the people importing the goods, because they’re absolutely still going to hike their prices by the same percentage that the tariffs are set at.
So consumers will be paying more but corporations will be reaping the benefits of the 25% increase in profit margins without paying extra because they’re skirting the tariffs while telling everyone that they have to pay it.

I don’t have kids myself, but I understand that it’s the employers fault they don’t extend the same privileges to me, not the parents fault for receiving the privilege.

It just depends on how you say it out loud.
Here in the us, we would say today is December 11th, so we write it the same way, 12/11.
Other parts of the world would say today is the 11th of December, so they write it that way, 11/12.

Mike Johnson makes me wish God were real. He’s an Evangelical Christian and he’s helping the literal antichrist come to power. If God were real I’d love to see the look on Mike’s face when he’s sent straight to superhell for the harm he’s caused on earth.

Do you want to see the people who killed Osama Bin Laden prosecuted?
Because the United Heath CEO killed far more people, including many more children, than Bin Laden did on 9/11.

The next biggest economy would likely fill the power vacuum, which at the moment would be China.
European countries would likely band together but still align their policies closer to Russian polices because they’re a more imminent threat than China.
There would probably be several small brush wars as countries try to to consolidate power amongst regional areas like North America and the Middle East.
Fragile ceasefires backed by American influence would pretty quickly dissolve like between North and South Korea.
And in a few decades everything will settle into a new “normal” just like it did when other great empires have lost their influence.

Absolutely.
There are two ways to make sure nuclear weapons are never used in war:

1. No one has any nukes
2. Everyone has nukes.

#1 is never going to happen. The US, Russia, and China are for sure never ever giving up their nuclear weapons.
So #2 it is, level the playing field and give everyone nuclear weapons. A nation is far less likely to use a nuclear weapon if they know they can and will get nuked back right away.

The opposite. Google won’t be able to leverage chrome to drive website design and Internet policy anymore and it’ll give smaller companies an opportunity to get a better foothold in the market. That’s the whole point in breaking them off from Google in the first place.
