One empire to collapse, but for another few to rise to fill the void it leaves.

And those few are not so much more merciful. I’m trying to imagine what the world would look like if it’s only Russia and China on top, while the US implodes like the Balkans.

It also does help to check the app if it uses ads and it’s not crippled. Unfortunately most people tend to just jump in because the app looks shiny or because their favorite celebrity uses it.

You’re looking at a Jollibee product.

What in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?

This is so mundane fried chicken for me, just comfort food in the Philippines, but no thanks to some influencers, tourists flock to this specific fast food restaurant expecting it to be some culinary treasure.

In his essay, Umberto Eco is correct in his assessment that fascists will never be satisfied until they get rid of all of they hate, and achieve their own absolution and realization of their power fantasies, a world shaped by their warped concepts of purity and ego-driven heroism.

Eugenics, segregation, Ford’s assembly-line technique, and manifest destiny.

I betcha he must be getting bank from those dozens of snake-oil MLMs trying to get their product sold.

Once an ardent environmentalist who took on big polluters, RFK Jr. has been silent on Trump’s dismantling of efforts to combat climate change and pollution.

It’s run by a fucking dickhead worshipping Musk.

Yeah, and Reddit will permaban anyone talking about “political violence”, ideas like punching Nazis and harassing MAGAts, all the while giving the bastards a free ticket to do shit they want over there like destroying LGBTQ symbols.

Fucking stupidest idea I ever seen.

The US has more guns than its total population. Real GUN CONTROL is needed.

Forgot where I read because it’s been years ago, but someone said that humans should be blessed being born human and not as sheep, as sheep can be led anywhere without question including for slaughter.

The suits always dictate what sells, and they’ll look for anything that would keep revenue coming.

Fucking bastard is the convergence of all evil going on in the last few years. Unless one morning they wake up to their neighborhoods patrolled by “militia” in their brodozers, what’s gonna take people to shock them up into outrage, and it’s not just the minorities or the progressives?

Also known as profiling.

Where I am and due to its greater practicality, nursing is more popular as a college course than compsci.

I once started as compsci, but instead got a job fixing PCs. Also self-learned basic carpentry and plumbing. Looking at raising livestock in the near future.
