US riots will always be localized or at least treated as such by the media, and thus isolated from the rest of the country. It’ll just be more city riots that further divide both sides, giving one justification for cracking down on the other

At the pay-to-play rate our society is going, I fucking will

As in, it is perpetually 4:20 PM on the moon?

That’s why they play a whole different game than us. He isn’t worried about paying back that interest or loan, he’s trying to find a way to make that $2m pay him back 1% or more per interest period. They never have to consider the loan amount, because those interest and payments will be done in 10 years while the profits from that loan will explode into hundreds of millions.

See? Anyone can do it, it’s honestly really fucking easy to come up with a million dollar idea. The hard part is that first couple million dollars. If you aren’t born with it, you will literally never have access to that type of wealth.

Why does Xi think he gets any say? He’s showing his full hand already, and it’s actually pathetic. Already saying that it will have to be taken by force. So he’s admitting that the people of Taiwan, if given a choice, may not choose to join China. Let’s give everyone a vote guaranteed by international overwatch, none of those mainland representatives.

This is just another dictator having a whiny shitstorm threatening to take territory by force just because they want their historical empire.

Can you imagine any of the current geriatrics taking anything more than a 6th grader’s punch?

There’s some real vitriol packed up in this comment. Try not to take it out on the cashiers :)

Oh hey, I just spotted another one!

No wonder data breaches are a when and not if…

And you are acting in bad faith. You set up a straw man argument so you can bash people for whatever their choice is. If you really meant to have actual discussion, you would. Instead you spout right-wing bullshit about “Biden bad boohoo”

You say he is the genocidal one, while he is actively being pushed to change his ways and taking responsibility while correcting the behavior. Slowly but surely. As opposed to the other side, which literally just wants to drop a nuke on the situation.

When people call you a bad-faith actor, it’s because you’re acting in bad faith.

We do! Ants have been involved in millions of experiments, and that is how we know so much of their society and entomology. We CAN communicate with them using pheromones and food sources. It’s actually quite simple, really. They just don’t have much to say beyond what we observe. It’s not like we suddenly start seeing unique chemical trails so they can communicate with their overlords, so I suppose they don’t perceive us as other beings in the world.

No but we can estimate the total age before cosmic inflation renders the universe cold and so far spread out so as to be considered “dead”

That timeline is around 10^27 years, of which we only right now have been around for about 10^9. So we are VERY young compared to the max age. On the cosmological timescale, we are still “being born”
