Go figure

Oh my god, he’s dead? Thank you, this made my day.

Shame it took so long.

I have a whole fucking family, who lived through the USSR. Not a single one of them misses it. Being spied on every step you take, my grandma has the “you never know who’s watching” mentality to this day.

That’s not to say they don’t hate the current regime, but it’s nothing compared to the absolute atrocities of the USSR’s secret police.

Well, I’m from a post-USSR country and a substantial part of this was the criminalization of homelessness. Can’t have homeless people, if you lock them up (be it in a prison or asylum).

Then again, just about anyone, who did not conform to the party’s message got locked up. Getting your place bugged at the slightest hint you might be up to something disagreeable and all that good stuff. The secret police could disappear and or beat you up without any real justification.

I hate late-stage capitalism as much as you, but coming from a country that’s been through this, I am extremely reluctant to give the rotten and frankly repugnant USSR regime any credit.

The Wikipedia says it comes from a French misspelling of an indigenous word that could be used to describe the people. So it might be a little less offensive than that, but still not great.

Also Sioux isn’t a native name, it was given to the Lakota people and others by the French colonizers.

Sioux is a name given by the colonizers. It’s not just the borders.

Blue-footed boobies are the only boobies, I can get behind.

I mean, the trolley obviously can’t fit under the bridge, so this seems like a mass murder/suicide scenario.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should…

I mean… The OG ambrosia “salad” has mayo and candied fruit in it.

Tajine dishes also use them quite often.

They have quite a lot of money, particularly in foreign currency slush funds (see Room 39 for example). However the Kim family has the final say in what is government money and what never makes it onto the books.

They could probably afford a FIFA championship. It’s admitting they have that kind of money, that would be a huge problem.

Ketamine is still used in anesthesia on humans in many countries. Also, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is a thing now, I’ll be having my second session next month.

Tell that to the sarcopterygii. They technically have both.

That’s all part of the problem though, isn’t it?

I live in central Europe and veggies and fruit are one of the first things, you see when you enter a store. They’re also really affordable and you can get them in pretty much every corner store all over the town as well. There isn’t a place where basic fruit and veggies are more than 15 minutes walking/public transit distance from you within the city. Never had to drive to a grocery store in my life. Some places are even open at night.

Let’s not blame the people for eating like this, when that’s exactly what the system is set up for.

Isn’t that kind of where the current system is inching towards anyways? Rent, subscriptions, bullshit jobs and all that.

I mean… I guess you could say they tried to Hideo him away, but he still Kojima’d anyways?

Then mock him for that, kind of my point. There’s a million things you could make fun of the piece of shit about. Going for low blows not only doesn’t address why he’s a terrible senator, but makes it look like our best argument against him is his cognitive decline.

I hate Mitch as much as the next person, but he fucking survived polio. He could be mumbling incoherently at this point and it would still be a huge personal and medical triumph. That’s not to say he should still be in office, but mocking his neurological condition after having survived one of the worst nerve-infecting diseases is in extremely poor taste.
