Oh you’re good. I’m aware of my lack of knowledge on VZ so I was teeing up for someone(s) to come help out because the little research I did before posting didn’t give me the answers I was looking for.

And to be clear I completely agree that nationalizing the oil industry in any capacity is a socialist policy, I just wasn’t sure that was enough to call a country “socialist”, though also I completely agree that by and large trying to nail down entire complex countries and systems to 1 of 2 boxes is probably a waste of effort in and of itself.

For me in general I feel like it comes down to a matter of degree. I know that the Chinese government has the majority stake in just about any relevant industry in the country , and their political reforms seem to work well and get people involved and keep power in the hands of the socialists, so I feel like it’s safe to say they are socialist by and large.

I was not aware until someone replied, of the neighborhood / community councils and other projects that were being setup which I feel like definitely bolsters the argument that they are socialist.

Oh well yeah 100%. I actually had an argument with my friend a while back and he was flabbergasted when I mentioned this happened decades before chavez. Chuds stay ignorant as fuck about history

I mean, someone correct me if I’m wrong, but most of the success in Venezuela was due to nationalizing the oil production and using it to fund social welfare right? I genuinely would love to be further educated on the topic, but I don’t see how that’s much different from Norway and most of us here wouldn’t call Norway socialist.

Mmm I think it’s a little more granular than that. Baptists believe anyone who has faith in Christ and seeks his forgiveness will go to heaven.

That’s honestly the last thing I would have expected

Yes and no. Technically your chances of getting ill from raw tofu is almost 0, but there’s been cases of cross contamination and different stuff, so if you want to be absolutely sure or you’re like already immunocompromised, it could make sense to cook it to that temp.

Yeah that’s him

I spent time carrying a Nintendo switch in my pocket back in the day

Yeah buying used is only viable if you can actually do all of the maintenance required. Not really an option for most people so car ownership just becomes another place to fall into debt forever.

Tyty! Yeah I’ve been playing since it came out and pulling packs every day lol

Yeah

Ive not looked it up, but I’m 100% convinced there’s no shot you can do that. They would definitely make you pay it back, assuming the signing bonus itself isn’t just additional wages for like a year or two or something

To be fair this chart is terrible

I think I don’t know my Russian history enough

Been struggling to get my doctor to get me a prescription for a vaccine. Probably going to have to doctor shop unfortunately

I just sold all my stuff on csfloat. There’s like a 5% or lower fee depending on how much you sell, but I felt like the experience was very smooth

I mean I haven’t even seen the video to be fair, but if I got separated from my child on the plane I feel like the least people could do is wait 15s for me to get my kid like wtf.

The way these people talk out their ass is something I will never miss about reddit. Just pure drivel with so much confidence

This seems like a leap to say “the research is clear” when the source you cited says itself that more research is needed.
