Socially it is moving pretty fast to the right in many places. They still have trains and healthcare. For now. Most US cities are as left leaning as Europe is.

Also PCAM should be required by law in all new cars.

Don’t worry they’ll be out of business. They’re a billion in debt. Their stock has lost like 98% of its value. Their ceo is a dickhead. They’re diluting shares like crazy.

Hitachi still top dog. And is 150.

But the vim is nice for people who want to be able to start at a lower speed.

Def worth the cost.

I got a notification for it from Washington Post. Reuters and nbc has it on the front page.

Well and most people retirement plans too.

Tell that to my two infrequent user friends who decided to share some cocaine at home, after going out the bar, catching up after not seeing each other for a while who both died from fentanyl overdose.

Inert cutting agents that simply dilute the product are not type of impurities in the sense that I was talking about. And I think there’s clear.

Also. when inert cutting agents are used without the user knowing the potency they are more liable to overdose. Legal and regulated cocaine would not have fentanyl or levamisole etc, and the potency would be printed on the bottle.

The NATO budget is a minuscule, tiny fraction of each member’s GDP(0.3%). And it gets cheaper and more effective the more members it has. Collective defensive alliances are probably the most cost effective preventive measure a country can take.

If anything NATO has allowed for a much smaller a militarization of each member state.

That said, America definitely is overdoing it with their individual military.

Can’t really expect that any more than you expect that Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone personally made sure the paint buckets he swung at Joe Pesci were actually empty. It’s just not how it works.

It’s up to the props people, in this case the armorer.

Wouldn’t Jews be the majority still? Maybe my math is off, and I’m completely and embarrassingly omitting something in the count, but it seems even if you include Gaza, the West Bank, and the Israeli occupied territories Arabs would make up 20% and Jews would make up 75%.

I find that many of those brands are impossible to avoid. But I’ve always done my casual best. But holy shit it’s crazy how hard it is to avoid certain things google and Amazon completely. They’re services are imbedded into everything. Probably this websites services are paying google or Amazon in some fashion.

Sometimes I wonder: Could a president forcefully standup to Israel and live out a term? I seriously feel that between the insane volume of lobbying by AIPAC and the implication of having caused such a rift in the political paradigm that no politician would ever dare be as firm as I’d hope they would.

And the GOP alternative will say to Netanyahu:

Stop being a bitch and finish them already.

I’m not being an apologist. I just have become really sad about all this. Feeling pretty hopeless since this all started. Not that the feeling is new, just really turned up.

Serious question, without trying to stir shit up:

Other than international outrage or intervention what would prevent Israel from occupying all of Gaza? Doesn’t Israel outnumber 20:1 in terms of population, and outgun 2024 to 1970 in terms of technology?

I did. Wasn’t very funny. Sounds way off. And it’s missing that gravitas and authenticity you get from a human. It’s hard to describe. I don’t like it in principal. And I don’t like the result. And the AI from a topics point view sounds like a grumpy edgy boomer. Real Carlin didn’t.

China’s own megaconglomerates aren’t doing any better. They openly steal from their populace, and exploit their workers in inhumane ways. Just look at the mass embezzlement of peoples life savings in the housing market by ultra mega sized publicly traded corporations. China is basically a hyper capitalist corporatocracy, with extra authoritarianism sprinkled in with no upside.

AMC will be bankrupt before the first hearing anyhow. They’re massively buried in debt, and just diluted stock, again, by quite a bit, while barely making my a dent in its debt.

$AMC has lost 80+% of its value in the last year. 98% lost since 2021.

Hybrids also last longer than EVs. And it’s not even close:

As per the results, on average, EVs are 79% less reliable than ICE-powered vehicles - despite having fewer moving parts and simpler drivetrains. The results also show that plug-in hybrids fare even worse and are 146% more problematic compared to conventional ICE models. However, traditional hybrids were ranked the best - producing 26% fewer problems than even ICE models.

Call me selfish, but I like really expensive purchase to last as long as possible.

The best way to reduce harm with this drug to users and the planet is to get rid of the deadly impurities and high cost.

Where would he go? Even countries without extradition treaties can still extradite. There’s no hiding. His options were grim either way.

Yes he lives in 4 seasons.

Landcaping.
