First of all, who the hell opens a can like that?! I guess you get your lips pierced for free...

Anyways, I exclusively buy coke in 1L bottles so that I can always ask for "a liter of cola."

The news has been captured by monied interests for decades now. Stop expecting it to televise the revolution.

I can't even begin to imagine what an American tech company was doing 1 hr away from Gaza.

They are not operating based on what's intelligent, they're operating based on a weak ideology. That ideology (neoliberalism) is full of contradictions because it exists exclusively to maintain the status quo and grow the wrath of the elite. Therefore, their actions are and will become more contradictory. It's not a bug it's THE feature. Their actions will never match their words because their words are a means to an end and not an end themselves.

They are "fiscally responsible" because they are maintaining the status quo of the economy.

I convinced my inlaws to stop bagging or raking their leaves a few years ago, and they're everywhere now. Not as many as if the whole neighborhood has done it, but more than when I met them.

Good news! Up until relatively recently, that was most humans!

The political climate in America is deeply imbalanced. Right-wing violence is so common because it is tacitly or openly sanctioned by the state—it aligns with existing power structures. This is why, historically, regular Germans didn’t rise up against the early Nazi movement: the violence was coming from those the state favored. When left-wing groups try to mimic these tactics—like impersonating secret police or kidnapping elites—they invite swift and deadly repression. The government does not treat both sides equally. One is shielded; the other is crushed.

In some situations, it's hard to tell if correlation indicates causation. Why the right wing doesn't win Nobel peace prizes is not one of them.

"The phenomenon revealed difference in human color perception..."

Yes, you're becoming a part of the joke. People LITERALLY see the dress differently. It doesn't matter what the objective facts are. TBH, it says a lot about humanity. Even when we have evidence that subjective experiences can vary, and even contradict each other, we still end up arguing over whose viewpoint is "correct".

How the fuck does it cost money to keep businesses closed.
