I disagree about Taiwan. That’s a thing that goes back to the founding of modern China, it is, and has been a cornerstone of their policy. But otherwise ya, they seem to make rational economic choices.

I would be very interested in an answer to this as well. Also any how to guides that would be useful for a guy whose technical high-water mark was getting mint set up on my laptop.

Lol I forgot about jeeves, the Internet butler! Oh how he buttled!!

It didn’t sound high and mighty to me. She left a position of influence and (some small amount) of power just when shit is starting to get real. Fair weather patriot. Best of luck in Toronto. I’ll stay here with the hundreds of millions for whom leaving isn’t a viable option.

Now who’s the arm chair captain?

My sentiments exactly.

That’s a shit lesson to take from 33. My takeaway is don’t let the brown shirts win. I’m not running from my country with my tail between my legs.

Fascists can fuck off, in fact 70 7 millions just assembled to say just that.

Edit: I didn’t think staying in my country of birth and fighting for freedom and decency would be such a hot button issue.

To all of you who felt the need to be condescending I’d just say tighten up and show some backbone. Real disappointing. So you may be shot and sent to a gulag. You wouldn’t be the first, probably not the last. Try not to let fear and righteousness dictate your feelings.

And the guy then “escaped”

When they’re fresh, have been kept on ice, boiled in clean water, and served up with garlic butter they are.

When you send the scullery maid down to the shore to shovel up whatever washed up, throw it in a pot and boil the shit out of it… Well I imagine it’s marginally better than starving anyways.

I did just that when I finally accepted I was balding, and in time would become bald. It was glorious! I had a luxuriant mane! I should have been in shampoo or “I can’t believe it’s not butter” commercials.

To a t!! Happy Lemmy day you glorious nerds!!!

This is the way. All beans, no bs sugar

You know shits getting real when the cops will shoot at a blonde white girl.

All this woke ass anti cigarette shit! Y’all have obviously never enjoyed a cup of coffee and a smoke on a still summer morn. A post coital puff as your lover plays her fingers through your chest hair like smoke on the water. Good lord I miss cigarettes!

But seriously never smoke, it smells terrible, will ruin your health, and is an all around terrible proposition.
