It's brilliant on the Chinese side of things. Think about the PlayStation 5. Imagine they only released 49000 of them. Scarcity can build demand if they send top quality cars at great prices.

Also, their night vision is terrible.

Invading or pissing off Japan, China or Canada. All of whom own a sizable amount of the US national debt. Any one of whom can dump said debt and cause a default on the US debt causing hyperinflation. With hyperinflation, they can't pay for their military and thus are dead in the water.

Like the early internet. It gatekeeps by requiring a certain level of technical know how. I like it, it keeps out a lot of stupid.

I'm here because I like the way the upvote/downvote feature works on here better than Reddit. Theoretically you could have equal upvotes and downvotes on a post on Reddit and it would look like there is almost no engagement at all. Here it's far more honest.

Ordering pizza and playing a game with my wife called "can we stay awake until midnight?" I won last year, it's about 50/50 this year.

I would love this. I'm a huge fan of their chip shop curry gravy and I don't have a gravy boat.

Agree with her. Then say all these old and retired people aren't contributing to the economy anymore and don't deserve to live. Then you ask her how old she is, for effect.

Algeria votes to declare French colonization a crime and demands restitution ( abcnews.go.com )

ALGIERS, Algeria -- Legislators in Algeria voted to declare France’s colonization of the North African country a crime, approving a law that calls for restitution of property taken by France during its 130-year rule, among other demands seeking to redress historical wrongs. ...

Taking in past history of colonization, I believe the French response will be something along the lines of "mange le merde". Not saying I agree, I just know that they typically don't face up to the consequences of colonization easily or quickly.

It depends upon the job you are pursuing. I went back to school at 35 to pursue a trade in HVAC. I don't recommend doing that much later. I ran into a lot of age discrimination when attempting to find a job.

A definite exception would be the Newfie accent from eastern Canada. People in the same country cannot understand them.

Quebecois is definitely difficult. I can understand people the next province over (New Brunswick) no problem as they tend to speak slower and many of their dialects like chiac have a lot of English words in them. But Quebecois tends to be spoken very quickly, and in some cases words run together much more. I'm a bilingual French Canadian and I have a lot of issues with that accent, which is strange as my family mostly came from Quebec originally. My grandfather, whose first language was French could watch tv from France and understand it perfectly, but had a lot of trouble with Radio-Canada reporters.

olbaidiablo ,

How are you with New Brunswick French? I find it significantly easier to understand than Quebec French. Partially I think it's because they speak slower in New Brunswick.

I have distant cousins out that way due to one of my ancestors having 2 families at the same time.

I played Super double Dragon for SNES earlier. I also played super Mario Bros 2 for nes this week. Platform games are a great way to pass the time on the go when you have a phone and a Bluetooth controller.

I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐

I read a news story about a guy who died from rabies after receiving a kidney transplant. Although nobody was aware when he died, the donor of the kidney had contracted rabies after being scratched by a skunk several weeks before he died and his organs were harvested. ...

Today I learned that 37% of Americans are barely functional morons.

We know. He is a dickhead. His "whiskey" is shit, his "wine" tastes like his "whiskey" (also shit) and he is shit.

That one is easy positive, negative, nipple, nipple.

The right one

I've been using Android since gingerbread, does that make me an "experienced user"?

This reminds me of this idiot manager we had at work once. He said he was going to lean on our vendors to get better prices. What ended up happening was the vendors one by one decided it wasn't worth it until only one was left, they realized they had a monopoly and doubled their prices every quarter for the next 3 quarters. This is the problem with idiots who have never had a real job, they don't understand how regular people think or what their motivations are.

Get a decent set of exercise bands. I have 5lbs all the way up to multiple 100lbs ones. They are relatively cheap, light and highly mobile.

I learned that no matter the diet, spices can compensate for the stuff that is nice for the tastebuds but bad for the diet.

He isn't wrong. All it takes is the right amount of people to be pissed and revolution explodes. If the oligarchs think they have it rough now, wait until they are being lynched in the street by people who haven't eaten a decent meal in recent memory. Look up 1918 Russia if you don't believe me.

olbaidiablo ,

That's where the pinebuds would be a decent substitute.

I don't think there are enough hillbillies to vote for her.

It's a good thing that university funding is provincial. Maybe they should stop cutting the funding and giving it to rich people, I'm looking at you Doug Ford.

He looks like a necropedozoophile.

This guy has definitely fucked a chip reader.

Try the pinephone pro?

What's with these top union people being so blatantly stupid, näive and gullible? The conservatives of pretty much every western country are liars, all of them. How stupid do you have to be to believe the word of people who lie so much it's basically their brand at this point.

olbaidiablo ,

So he can be head of the American equivalent of the Deutsche Arbeitfront when he finally abolishes the unions?

olbaidiablo ,

Can his official title be "Randy Andy of Epstein Island"?

Thankfully I don't think we have Walmart store brand milk here in Canada. We also don't allow hormones either.

Mostly without pus in the milk.

If you want to stretch out your ground beef use 1/4 lb of medium instead of lean and use TVP to fill in the rest. The TVP will absorb the fat and flavour, is quite a bit cheaper than ground beef and is shelf stable. TVP also has more protein than ground beef.

He can eat fuck and go shit himself.

Why do hotels not have full shower curtain/enclosure?

I've stayed in hotels throughout Europe and have found that shower curtains are almost non-existent, and glass shower enclosures don't cover the entire shower. Why is that? Is this one of those weird things like the gap in the bathroom doors on North American bathrooms? How do you shower without getting water everywhere?

Want a smart display? Get an open source magic mirror kit, not a corporate owned pos.

Obama. Mostly because the orange one would have a stroke if that happened.

There used to be 2, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Montreal Expos.

I use an app called eternal which is based on my favourite Reddit app (back when they allowed other apps). Plus they perma banned me for a bullshit reason.

The Japanese return to right wing nut jobs is kind of hilarious. Double down on the racism that is causing their population to collapse.

olbaidiablo ,

You have to be full blood Japanese to be considered Japanese and to be a citizen. So any Japanese who marry someone not Japanese is a large net loss for the society. Plus it's impossible to become a citizen through immigration unless you're somehow full blood Japanese.

Publish my book on surviving office politics. It's sort of a cross between the art of war with the pragmatism of Machiavelli and leaning towards an espionage theme. Eventually publish my memoirs, which started off as a completely different book. Other than that, build more reclaimed wood projects and start selling them after creating an Etsy store.

olbaidiablo ,

Their society will collapse from this racism in a generation or so. No point in correcting people who can't see the writing on the wall. As much as the current regime tries to deny it, immigrants have been the strength of the US.

olbaidiablo ,

I know for a fact that there are well meaning Americans too. But, sadly, they elected the current fascist regime.
