Jesus wasn’t telling the poor destitute to sell everything, he told the wealthy that it was their only way to salvation. A guy with a pair of shoes, a few sets of clothing and a phone is living as bare bones a life style as is possible in any modern society.

You are doing the Fox News bit of complaining that food stamp recipients have cell phones and refrigerators

Someone promoted Grok to write an apology in a thread about it

I didn’t have healthcare in 2024 either. And it was Democrats who caved agter the 2025 elections to allow the government to reopen without getting the Republicans to extend the subsidies. The Democrats also don’t care if you can get healthcare and that’s the problem.

I’m in a semi rural area and you can tell our store is the end of their supply line. Produce is always horrid and worse than walmarts Even their canned goods are of a noticably lower quality than the store brand at kroger or Walmart. I’ll stop by there for a handful of specific things every now and then, but only for snacky things like Knoopers.

Admittedly though, the Aldi by my parents’s house in Houston has much higher quality produce, so that seems to be very location dependent.

So Americans make food that was popular in China when the largest wave of Chinese immigrants came to the country? It’s recipes that were created my chinese immigrants adapted to the ingredients they could get. Same with Tex-Mex and American Italian food.

Dude, they gave it to fucking Kissinger

My brother’s first character was an Argonian and he used to hide in a Whiterun shed, take his clothes off and say “Hey Lydia, wanna see my little lizard?”

It’s cool. He married Lydia

I think you’ll find it was Pol Pot that targeted people wearing glasses

Don’t worry. Your career was getting torpedoed anyway since the main economic driver in the west for 20 years has been how to outsource all work overseas.

“actice government steps to ensure stability” probably means banning anyone in a “critical” industry from leaving the country.

They will have the patent on the corresponding driver for the screw, and i doubt they will allow third party shops to purchase the drivers for anything resembling a reasonable price. Meaning that you will be forced to take the car to a BMW authorized mechanic. It’s taking away the consumer’s right to repair.

Whovis going to take care of all the 80 year old Japanese people in 50 years when they have less medical staff? What happens to all the empty and decaying buildings that have no one left to maintain them all? What happens to the smaller rural cities with a current population between 75,000-200,000 people when the only job options are hospice care because the local employers can’t operate anymore? Decreasing population by 50,000 a year over a few decades is manageable. Japan and Korea are way past that point and there simply won’t be enough people to care for the ageing population and shrinking pool of working people and children.

Face is way too big to be Charlie Kirk

People are absolutely not PC literate for work. I am 30 amd i was never even taught typing in school, i had to learn from playing RuneScape back in the day. I have a willingness to learn new things, but i have worked with plenty of people that couldn’t even figure out how to open their Outlook after their computer had to restart.

Maybe US firms shouldn’t have sent all their design specifications to Chinese factories if they didn’t want Chinese firms to use them

Because they were never allies, they both just want to end US hegemony over global finance. They have veey different and often adversarial long term domestic and foreign goals.

Sanctions don’t mean you cant trade. It just means you can’t use the sanctioning body’s infrastructure to do so. Just because you don’t agree with the trade doesn’t mean it is illegal or even illicit. Or do you think the US should have full control over global trade?

Is it smuggling when Cuban cigars are sold in the EU or Canada? Would the Saudi government call it smuggling when Irish Whiskey is shipped to Nigeria? Countries have no control over what other countries can trade with each other, especially if both countries have already been effectively cuttoff from saod country’s financial institutions

Doesn’t change the fact that mutual trade between neighboring countries is the opposite of smuggling.

Everything is PDF flow for printing. Typically i just export the word doc out as a PDF and tell the customer that we will print it as is unless they want to pay a $20 set up fee

Damn, i hope that isn’t going to interfere with all the micro plastics floating around in my balls
