It's gonna grow slowly as Reddit starts booting out some accounts deem as "violent".

That's why he's also called Phony Stark. Never want to give the bastard view counts, which of course feeds his egomania.

but also enriched the country as a whole

Superficially. Most of those projects were for show, much similar to Ceausescu, but kept a lot of glaring poverty hidden from visitors, some whole slums either behind tall walls or just demolished en masse. During most of the 20-year reign more than half the loans the Marcoses acquired and meant for development were instead spent on luxuries.

What kept the Marcoses from being thrown into jail was not only an army of lawyers but also their personality cult, many of them were once children during their regime (hence why the Marcoses heavily invested in some public education in addition to controlling media).

Japan has most of the bases, but half the Japanese feel like chafing while wearing the American security blanket and the other half itching to modify or repeal Article 9 for rearmament, while the PH -- no formal US basing since 1992 -- is naked in the face of Mainland Chinese aggression and needing the investments of any kind, even if they have to deal with a two-faced liar and his vicious cabinet and legislature.

 

The orange bastard thinks Junior is one and the same, except Junior is more of a Marcos family nerd of sorts, while his sister Imee is now also his archenemy and allied to Duterte, and happens to inherit much more of her father's egomania.

Nonetheless, they are both successful beneficiaries of mass disinformation and hatred. The thing is, however, in terms of political stability the Philippines now seems a lot milder compared to the mounting ongoing oppression in the US.

Sounds like an arrangement that happens in the developing world, where landowners and businessmen are down with police chiefs at weekend drinking binges and sports betting.

Rock music. Specifically during the 90s and early 00s.

A moment in time before pop music dominated teen mindsets.

If I am going to the boonies, I'd rather have an AM radio only for news and weather updates.

Man, he wants to play catch by being at the receiving end of a 500lb MK82 bomb made somewhere in the US Midwest.

As a socio-political platform Reddit is going down the drain in the last few weeks, with a lot of permabans meted out at anyone with posts considered "violent" by Reddit standards, especially comments regarding right-wing American political figures.

Keep the lights open, man.

Not just an email address and IP address, but also knowing what browser and even user behavior, and banning the alt account 30 minutes after the main account being permabanned. The fuck they were possibly using.
