Look mate, start investing into Chinese weapons manufacturing stocks. It might not pay out big next month but I PROMISE you will see sustained returns on your investment in the near future!

Come hell or highwater your profits will increase!

Hooligans yelling slurls in a brawl is not the same as a lynching. Give it a rest.

What do you call singing for the murder of children and assaulting random locals and the media? Absolutely absurd victim mentality.

I’m from Canada, only been to Minneapolis once but absolutely loved the city. Would certainly consider moving there, but it being smack dab in the middle of buttfuck nowhere is so sad.

Good food man. One of the best designed cities in the U.S. imo.

Sparse, but underrated.

People hog the left lane and don’t respect flashing to pass. Fuck is up with that? Some of the most inconsiderate, yet slow drivers in America.

arm crossing and squinting intensifies 😒

While we’re at it, Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine opened up akin to the shock and awe campaign in 2003 Iraq.

Of course it does not justify the invasion, but the world still remembers WMD’s that weren’t found. American leadership didint think those through too well.

Well those Jehovah witnesses weren’t going to ship themselves to Siberia.

Some call it divine intervention by the state.

Surround the thing with solar panels and then you’ve got yourself an environmentally friendly peice of space debris.

L.A. is fuckin crazy lol they will blast on anyone. The fact they drove off in a G35 is icing on the cake though. Mfs will probably be flexing the secret service bag at the takeover later 😂🤣

We are reaching the final logical conclusions of capitalism with Canadian characteristics.

They will allow Amazon to build their " all inclusive " worksites where the workers can’t actually leave. These megacorporations are more powerful then the state is.

The classic 4chan cars for under 5K chart still largely holds up today.

Take it with a grain of salt and perhaps bump the years up by a decade or so.

Personally i would take a 20 year old car with low milage that still has solid saftey features and a comfortable interior vs a newer car with better technology, but arguably worse saftey features and undoubtedly worse privacy.

Not to mention it’s going to be cheaper to break some shit on an old car vs a brand new one that’s loaded with sensors and computers. My 2 cents anyways.

That and ring doorbells being used as a big data harvesting point for the police.

The surveillance culture we have is so normalized now people don’t even care that their security camera is more of a corporate livestream then a secure loop. But hey, how else an I gonna pust pictures of the guy stealing my 3rd Amazon package of the day.

Tucker Carlson don’t got that Seth Rogan build type for a mission like that…

Damn, this mf really found a way to use Lemmy to fulfill their abusive message fetish. I respect this deeply.

It’s the opposite. The pool of young people to pull from is smaller everyday.

In this regard, Russia has the advantage where they can just keep throwing more and more bodies into the war without major unrest. Luckily Wagner is gone, as they had the human wave then special forces combo down to a science, but the problem of Russia having exponentially more manpower at their disposal remains unless they begin drafting all Women between ages 18 - 60. Which will likely never happen.

Uzbekistan supported the US against Al-Qaeda despite being Muslim and them,

So did Iran, Russia also helped the northern alliance and allowed NATO to use her airspace to attack the Taliban in the early years.

Chile supported the UK against Argentina despite neighbouring them

Shocking that Chilé under an American backed military dictatorship would support the U.K. over Argentina.

Spain supported the Nazis despite bordering France, the UK and Portugal

Well the U.K. and France sat on their collective asses while the Axis countries sent armour and their air forces to help fascists in Spain. The allies easily could have had an allied Spain but they were more concerned with short term political gains and appeasing fascists rather then outright confronting them, or at the very least arming them to a level sufficient to defend themselves. Sounds kinda familiar…

There’s lots of examples of neighbouring countries risking a lot to support their neighbours’ enemies

Well yes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend but that’s not a sufficient analysis of the postion Oman is in to explain why they did not allow open skies.

Oman hosts American troops, logistics hubs and aircraft. Oman is definitely not " aiding" Yemen as much as they are trying to keep the war out of their borders. If it benefited them in some drastic way to support the air war, they would. Its seems like a pretty high risk low reward scenario.

The Houthi’s aren’t going anywhere, and if anything will likely be better armed rather then poorer in the next few months and years.

" Siding with Yemen " is a bit rich. The writing is on the wall for the current regional war to expand into a proper world war. They don’t want their infrastructure, be it shipping or oil related to be hit by missles.

It’s one thing to carry out an air campaign halfway across the earth where your enemy cannot reach your homeland. It’s a bit different when the war is in your backyard and not on the television.

Same reason why Saudi Arabia is so squeamish about this whole air raid campaign. Both nations host American bases and troops. They are the logical first targets for the Houthi’s to attack. Signing off on this would be stepping foot into the ring as a meatshield, with little to gain from this charade.

Yemen has already been bombed back into the stone ages, infrastructure wise. More airstrikes will not break them.

We won’t ever know the full extent of how many people have died of/ crippled by long covid. It’s in the interest of corporations and states for people to not care, to tell them to relax and pretend as if everything is normal.

Covid will also cause massive issiues for entire generations a few deacdes down the line, which these same states and corporations will refuse to acknowledge their own role in forcing sick people into work again en mass.

It’s tomorrow’s problem, and we pretend that tomorrow never comes.

You do realize many of the women raped were probably Muslim too? Its not religion that brought that rather then racism… people keep failing to understand this. Or rather it makes you feel justified in your own hatred rather then reading the actual fucking article.

Its part of the propaganda machine, Mom working a second job as a sex worker = criminal. The wealthy fucks who have done nothing but hoarde and steal more wealth from the working class = intelligent business people.

Absolutely vile how they manipulate the people like this. The media’s lack of scrutiny and questioning the states narratives and laws only make this problem worse.

As much as we let them keep making.
