In his letter, Trump said “unsustainable Trade Deficits against the United States” also contributed to his consideration of the high tariff rate. However, the United States has a good trade surplus with Brazil — more than $7 billion last year.

What a clown. It will never happen but I would love to see Brazil slapping retaliatory tariffs on American imports like China did.

I really hope it does the manga justice. It would be a tragedy if people ended up dismissing this series because of a subpar anime adaptation.

If you think you can stop deforestation in the Amazon by not buying soybeans I have bad news for you. Not only because soybeans are grown everywhere in Brazil but also because there are multiple other reasons why deforestation happens, like illegal logging, mining and cattle raising.

Is someone keeping track of everything they’re trying to erase from history? I really hope it’s all been archived somewhere so it can be put back into the records after these nuts are no longer in power.

That cursed post has forever ruined jars for me

There should be a way to see the content from different communities with the same name but from different instances in the same page, like some sort of automatic multireddit. The content would probably be limited to instances federated with your home instance but even then it’s something I would like to have.

Here’s the quote, for those like me who had never heard of it:

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."

I, for one, welcome our new Iberian overlords

It was, indeed. The group has grown a lot since then but the original name has stuck.

That doesn’t mean much. Iran and Saudi Arabia also are in it and they hate each other.

Cat does it because it knows it is cute and therefore can get away with it.

Yt-dlp. It’s basically the only way I download music nowadays.

Chuck has a great shot at becoming the messiah of a new religion then cause the holy book of Norrisism has already been written, it’s called Chuck Norris Facts.

Speak for yourself.

ConcernedApe comes to mind. I think he has actually said that a big reason why he made his game is so people would listen to his music.

You didn’t have to do us henpeckers like that

They’re talking about Dungeons & Dragons, it’s kind of a tabletop game where one player (the Dungeon Master, or DM) basically creates adventures for the other players. It’s very nerdy but very fun and also takes a lot of time.

Did I use the wrong word there? I always assumed till and until were synonyms
