I questioned if I should add more context, but people will suffer a lot of hardship if the global economy is flipped upside down. It’s not the rich assholes I worry about, it’s the common person who will struggle to find a job or buy milk.
I definitely need to go with The Unbearable Weight of Incredible Talent. That’s the funniest movie I’ve seen in years. The LSD scene had me and my wife in stitches. I haven’t laughed that hard, and that genuinely in so long.
No thanks!
I don’t think that’s how it happened. Their logo is an apple with a bite out of it because it represents knowledge, you know, like Adam and Eve taking a bite out of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
It is. Even just the economic damage that the world would suffer is horrifying.
Is this for the syphilis?
LOL, this is so ludicrous!
It’s a good question that I don’t have the answer to, but I don’t think the USA would be able to continue funding a military 20x the expense of the next most powerful military while under authoritarian rule. We have the funds for such a military now because of a hundred different conditions that wouldn’t exist anymore under a fascist government.
It’s crazy how the global powers have handed China so much power as a result of their insatiable greed. China was hardly a concern 40 years ago, but 4 decades of manufacturing and stealing literally everyone’s IP have given them resources they didn’t have access to before.
Huzzah!
They did a great job at that. It has lasted 248 years. But they also gave us a framework for updating our constitution and government, and that has been sorely neglected for a long time. The founders were wise enough to recognize that the system would need to change as times changed. What they didn’t seem to anticipate is the insane tribalism created by technologies that weren’t even a dream at the time, and how that tribalism would grind our government to a halt.
Unfortunately the huge land owners want unequal representation, and they have a lot of power.
Not really. The fascists won in Germany, yet they’re not currently fascist. Nothing is forever.
Like a teaspoon or less. That looks like more. But someone else mentioned that this could be the sugar content from the tomatoes, which is okay.
Come on now, spaghetti always begs for excessive consumption.
Explains part of the reason why Rao’s tastes better than those other brands. I wish it had no sugar though.
Turning off downvotes is terrible. There should either be no voting, or up and down votes, with both displayed separately. This “upvote” only nonsense was created by corporate sites to make everything look popular for increased engagement, therefore increased ad views. No idea why Lemmy would follow that example.
It happens here too. This place isn’t exempt.
Classic Saturday.
Well yes, under contract that they don’t copy it, but that’s not how China works.
