Yo, I love the idea of enlightened benevolent aliens making humanity abandon its nukes and go commie. I feel like Ive heard narratives along these lines before but can't remember where or more detail. Is this a trope or present in scifi or UFO speculation?

Plastic recycling is a scam that exists to green wash usage of plastics. Apparently it's even worse than that, actually, bc the presence of sufficient unrecyclable plastic in bins of commingled recycling causes all of it to get landfilled.
Shit drives me insane. Oh God, those tetra pack containers claim to be recyclable, but actually there's just one recycling facility for them, and it's in Mexico, so if by the grace of God your municipality actually opts in to recycling this one specific type of packaging, it all gets hauled across the border.
Rugrats holds up, I swear. It's super creative and funny. One of my favorite parts is that the babies, being babies, don't understand what a lot of words mean, misuse them, and mispronounce them. Really cute and hilarious.
Pepe reposted an article to his tgram channel with some comments:
That article's analysis is that the British elite hate Russia because the Putin government displaced Rothchild-aligned Jewish oligarchs who took control of post-soviet Russia, and that "the Rothchilds are as British as 5 o'clock tea". Laughable tripe if you ask me. So in addition to being sensational, he seems to also some combination of an uncritical dupe, an actual moron, or a reactionary.

Also I don't mean to say pepe should be dismissed out of hand. He travels a lot and seems to talk to lots of ppl and so surfaces interesting stuff from time to time.
That article is from July 2022
Bald eagles are cool but have you ever heard what they sound like? Shame that they're claimed by burger land as official bird tho.
I'm not sure if this answer provides a root explanation for the question, but in a competitive (but not prestigious) undergrad business program the answer provides is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money
Interest paid is offered as compensation for the opportunity cost the lender experiences by lending rather than immediately spending. I still don't see why this implies compound interest, except that vaguely the opportunity cost increases faster than the passage of time.
The Will to Change by bell hooks. I'm bringing it to a book club.
I think a key attribute of this article that makes it notable is that its author is Jeff Sachs. On paper he has the maximum degree of normie credibility--his only disqualification these days is mounting arguments that counter the bourgeois narratives, which is only a disqualifier to the naive. As I read this I realized there are no reasons that have been articulated as to why covid couldn't have originated in and/or escaped from a lab funded by the U.S.
- The U.S. gives no shits about treaties banning research of this type
- It's absolutely not beyond the U.S. to invest in R&D into biological weapons
- It's absolutely not beyond the U.S. to lie about something like this
- There's no reason to believe the MSM wouldn't play ball with a coverup given the coverage of other aspects of covid
I wonder if the CPC is sitting on any info regarding this topic...

Amen, comrade. BTW, here's a track I really like with samples of UFO encounters and from what seems like a report from the burger govt of first contact w/ enlightened aliens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uu6mW3y5Iw
