Reminds me of a half-orc I once played called Sword. Sword wielded a big sword; Swords only word was sword; Swords solution to all problems in some way involved Swords or sword.
Got a surprising amount of mileage out of using the word sword combined with different tones and gestures, as well as some fun non-violent but still sword based solutions.
Chance as in gambling, so often you don’t even get what you pay for even with ‘reputable’ brands. This is particularly bad with appliances.
These days its increasingly ‘capitalism is when you pay money for the chance to have a thing’
Sounds like you could make a curved protest sign with plywood and then hide some foil between the plywood and a paper/cardboard layer for a fairly inconspicuous shield that can block and even reflect both microwave and sound cannons.
Plus regular people can get hold of drones too.
I think its a senile russian asset fighting a ketamine addict and both of their handlers are simply making good use of the natural distraction.
The main character of the world was that guy who did dumb shit like shipping coal to newcastle and bed pans to the tropics but was massively successful anyway, all of the rest of us were just NPCs for that one guy and now that he’s dead the rest of the universe has no meaning anymore.
But has he even forced anyone to the table recently? Last time Europe said counter tariffs, then China flatout said no, and now Europe is flatout saying no as well. Trump is practically a crazy man yelling at people across the street at this point.
But those bonds also prop up the value of the dollar so if existing investors decide the bonds are no longer worth holding onto…
I’d say a good loose definition is just ‘people pooling resources for the common good’ so basically all taxes and things paid for by taxes including the military.
You can recognise your own weaknesses, that already makes you more competent than most government officials in most countries.
Aren’t like half of those bullet points positives? Also in addition to what you said once you got a tree you got a tree, those tanks need constant maintenence and cycling which I doubt anyone is going to bother with for more than a year after installing them.
Honeslty he’s not even a very good conman he just also happened to be born rich which gives him a lot of free credibility to a certain kind of person.
Its weirder than that, had someone on lemmy try to convince me that deportations, purity tests and fascism are all far left policies. Its like they’re trying to shift all their own shit onto some imaginary other.
Selection bias, the people who don’t discriminate aren’t causing harm so you don’t notice them but since they don’t speak up they aren’t helping either, so the jerks are still setting the tone. The solution is to not just do the right thing but actively call people out the jerks.
TLDR?, The US is bankrupt or nearly bankrupt and Trump is trying to convince the rest of the world to foot the bill?
Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off.
Its a combination of the speed of light and how inflation has varied the size of the universe. Light’s only been able to travel about 14 billion light years since the universe began but those further regions used to be closer so light from them was already part of the way here when they vanished over the cosmic horizon.
Can confirm, not even an official tester (just an open beta tester) and have acrued a reputation for having a legendary bug aura that can cause catastrophic and previously unseen edge cases to occur just by opening the software (game)
You completely forgot:
“Actually just monetizes somethign that already existed for free”
Though I guess Ads is already the free space.
