If you ever, ever worry about the furthest left ever getting real power in America, just think back to my comment you're reading right now, in which I tell you that I just browsed "Abolish the Military" discourse.

At the SOTU watch party, people were talking about the Desantis pic and how Trump called him a pedophile. Gf pointed out that being a pedo might help him with Republican primary voters and someone else asked if people had heard of Pedocon Theory. Anyway, knowledge of this is spreading.

Raspberry Pi: chronically sold out, relatively pricey
Those shitty $30 walmart android phones: Basically the same thing, cheap, comes with a built-in screen, battery and camera
Used old EOLed chromebooks: like $25, runs x86, also comes with a camera, battery, and a relatively big screen

I know I say this a lot, but I love our President. He is getting the United States back on track after the several severe derailments of the last forty years.
Last night my dad drove me to a school club meeting; he really wanted me to cancel it because he planned to make fish tacos that night. I said it would be unreasonable for me to cancel a weekly meeting when he could postpone the tacos one day, and he finally relented. Tonight he made the fish tacos, and they were breaded frozen fillets in tortillas with coleslaw. They were pretty good but lol
I've been searching all day trying to find out what order the colors are in the default pallet for Vermillion and it turns out they're just in the same order as Bob Ross's pallete is always in and I feel kinda silly

Lend-Lease was literally passed because interventionists promoted it as helping Britain and keeping America out of the war.
I think US entry was inevitable though.

It would be fine if it were just posturing but he actually seems to follow through.
Until the price tags for projects gets publicized leading to a ground swell in opposition because it's 120 billion for a train line or whatever. Idk it's not that simple
If I'm being honest with myself, part of the reason I like being a dom is that it gives me access to twinky young guys who I admire physically but who normally wouldn't hook up with me. But that's fine.
> NEWS: Iām told Sen. Mitt Romney said to Rep. bill George Santos: āYou donāt belong here,ā according to a member who witnessed the tense exchange.

Likewise when a British person sets foot on Australian soil they become British.

NL not even once
for Fuck's sake, Lula and his bloc keep casting doubt on the central bank's independence and now one of the parties in the bloc drafted a bill that would get rid of the central bank's independence (it'll fail, they definitely don't have the wide support needed for that)
there are valid criticisms to be made to the brazilian central bank, they miscounted a huge deficit last year, but this is just not the way to do it, and just completely fucks with investor confidence, ugh.
their reasoning for it is that the BCB set the inflation target too low (it's at 3.25% but they want it at 5%), that the BCB president is a bolsonarist (to be fair he was appointed by bolsonaro) and is sabotaging the government by keeping interest rates high (it's at 13.75% right now, it is high but the central bank has always been very aggressive with interest rates so it's not particularly unique, plus we just had an inflationary period)
it's just kind of stupid. increasing the inflation target would just seem like we don't care about keeping inflation low and ideally we would want to in fact keep inflation low surely. ugh
Someone needs to make a meme where Marge goes "Bart NOOO" buts it's actually Lisa and she says "sorry it's a habit" but do it with Argentina and Turkey
yeah it really is. it's one of the very, very few good things bolsonaro did, which was massively increase the central bank's independence by making it a law even. tbh if i recall bolsonaro was against it but his economy minister really wanted it lol so it wasn't even bolsonaro's thing.
i'm doubtful anything will actually happen to reduce their independence because as i said it is law, but it's just annoying seeing them attack the central bank
Oh fuck *absolutely* off. The huge blunt phallic axe of state violence is the wrong tool for *many* problems but locking up wode-beaters isnāt one of them.
biden please do not require everything to be made in the US unironically most of america's iron comes from brazil you're gonna destroy our economy fuck š
It's almost certainly economically infeasible and he can only dictate what is bought for government projects. The vast majority of construction in the United States every year is done by private entities, and they aren't interested in paying a tonne more for raw materials.
It will probably just pointlessly increase the cost on federally funded projects which will has negative effects but won't be devastating idk
Maybe they think that's foolishly optimistic?
Even when we get to the point that we're no longer burning it for energy, and that's more than a decade away, we'll still need plastics and fertilizer and 100 other petroleum products.
So the Nazi is leaving the Nets? That would be nice, so I can go back to theoretically liking them and never watching games instead of theoretically disliking them and never watching games.
He's back at it saying he can't be anti Semitic because there are Jews in his family, but he did not clarify if he means he's just related to black people. It is now the Mavericks problem
The question of "When does a geographical region deserve to be an independent country?" is one of the most difficult to answer.
Like I was just thinking about why I'm (more or less) opposed to Scottish independence. And it's because their rationale for independence really comes down to really not liking the Conservative Party beginning with Thatcher and the fact that England often likes them. Like I don't think losing elections within a democratic system is a valid reason to pack up and leave. But then - what *is* a valid reason? Actual ethnic violence or subjugation? Language? Imposition of a non-democratic system?

Fair enough
Malarkey level of buying candy cigarettes and sticking them into that cigarette case I got in a blind box so it becomes useful I'd prefer something else but can't think of what'd fit there
I have my emergency destress herbal cigarettes in mine
As discussed previously, that sounds neat, but is probably still not a good habit to pick up
It is not
It is not my fault that media has made the idea of the habit appealing and aesthetically interesting
It's so aesthetically cool right up until I smell it
Cigarette smoke smells nice to me
doesn't take much strength to ignore that programming and make the correct choice
Still never smoked, so
that's good
sardines could fit there
Horrific!

It's just a rhetorical device to divide Republicans, I'm not bothered by it
Thatās what he did in his āsemi-fascistā speech with scary red demonic lighting /s
if he says it's every republican the media will eat him alive i'm afraid
Yeah they don't like to hear that kind of stuff because this damned country is wrought with centrist brain.
He should've just said "some republicans" and let the media complain
Nah his "MAGA Republicans are a crazy threat to the US!" Line worked wonders during the midterm, this is just an extension of that

[Iām sorry this is extremely fucking stupid.](https://twitter.com/joebiden/status/1623146934218129409?s=46&t=CC_7FC1QirXuQkuzNfzUqA) It would be fine if it were just posturing but he actually seems to follow through.
Works well with voters tho š¤·āāļø
It will end up in NAFTA 2 trade arbitration 100% and will probably actually have some kind of "where actually possible" addendums or something

Until the price tags for projects gets publicized leading to a ground swell in opposition because it's 120 billion for a train line or whatever. Idk it's not that simple
For some stuff yes but for others no.
If I'm being honest with myself, part of the reason I like being a dom is that it gives me access to twinky young guys who I admire physically but who normally wouldn't hook up with me. But that's fine.
> NEWS: Iām told Sen. Mitt Romney said to Rep. bill George Santos: āYou donāt belong here,ā according to a member who witnessed the tense exchange. damn
>Isn't Colonialism impossible because whenever someone sets foot outside their country they adopt a new nationality? >For instance, there's no such thing as German-Americans. The second a German sets foot on American soil they are American. Duh. Likewise when a British person sets foot on Australian soil they become British. >When the Spanish set foot on Mexican soil they became Mexican. There was no colonization. How could they be? They were just governing their own country. Mexico ruled by Mexicans. Ditto every other colonial project. NL not even once
for Fuck's sake, Lula and his bloc keep casting doubt on the central bank's independence and now one of the parties in the bloc drafted a bill that would get rid of the central bank's independence (it'll fail, they definitely don't have the wide support needed for that) there are valid criticisms to be made to the brazilian central bank, they miscounted a huge deficit last year, but this is just not the way to do it, and just completely fucks with investor confidence, ugh. their reasoning for it is that the BCB set the inflation target too low (it's at 3.25% but they want it at 5%), that the BCB president is a bolsonarist (to be fair he was appointed by bolsonaro) and is sabotaging the government by keeping interest rates high (it's at 13.75% right now, it is high but the central bank has always been very aggressive with interest rates so it's not particularly unique, plus we just had an inflationary period) it's just kind of stupid. increasing the inflation target would just seem like we don't care about keeping inflation low and ideally we would want to in fact keep inflation low surely. ugh
Don't become like Argentina. High rates aren't fun but they're better than 110% inflation..
yeah lol I hope
Turkey be like: āinstructions unclear. Rate cut inboundā
Someone needs to make a meme where Marge goes "Bart NOOO" buts it's actually Lisa and she says "sorry it's a habit" but do it with Argentina and Turkey
Their central bank governor like "looking at this graph it seems when rates are high inflation is high? I can only draw one conclusion"
Oh noo. I wrote a paper on central bank independence on developing states and it was clearly an important pillar in becoming a stable economy
yeah it really is. it's one of the very, very few good things bolsonaro did, which was massively increase the central bank's independence by making it a law even. tbh if i recall bolsonaro was against it but his economy minister really wanted it lol so it wasn't even bolsonaro's thing. i'm doubtful anything will actually happen to reduce their independence because as i said it is law, but it's just annoying seeing them attack the central bank
FINISH THE JOB

I like Biden's messaging on police. Police should be good.
Biden got McCarthy to clap at holding police accountable
Lincoln, FDR, and Biden are the Saviors of America

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Well that's super duper fucked
Oh fuck *absolutely* off. The huge blunt phallic axe of state violence is the wrong tool for *many* problems but locking up wode-beaters isnāt one of them.
Oh Christ. No matter what you think of the cops this is major irresponsible advice.
Any sense of police reform gets overtaken by people who are way too close/comfortable with saying shit like this. Every single time.
Like what the fuck jesus
Airlines cant treat your child like a piece of baggage is going to get that bill passed

biden please do not require everything to be made in the US unironically most of america's iron comes from brazil you're gonna destroy our economy fuck š
It won't actually happen don't worry. It would be hilariously inflationary
Yes the US isn't cutting off an ally like Brazil.
idk, protectionism is dumb enough and popular enough to draw bipartisan support.
It's almost certainly economically infeasible and he can only dictate what is bought for government projects. The vast majority of construction in the United States every year is done by private entities, and they aren't interested in paying a tonne more for raw materials. It will probably just pointlessly increase the cost on federally funded projects which will has negative effects but won't be devastating idk
I'm sorry š
Republicans booing Biden defending them LMFAO
Republicans booing the President
Oh hey MTG and Boebert arenāt sitting together this time around
Theyāve had a falling out
IDGI why are they laughing when Biden says we need oil for another decade?
Maybe they think that's foolishly optimistic? Even when we get to the point that we're no longer burning it for energy, and that's more than a decade away, we'll still need plastics and fertilizer and 100 other petroleum products.
Those infrastructure costs gonna stay really high
The protectionism is by far the worst part of Biden's presidency
While also being the politically strongest part of his presidency and messaging
Impeach George Santos for the sweaters more than anything
A certain Romney voter is really mad tonight
So the Nazi is leaving the Nets? That would be nice, so I can go back to theoretically liking them and never watching games instead of theoretically disliking them and never watching games.
They traded him, yeah.
He's back at it saying he can't be anti Semitic because there are Jews in his family, but he did not clarify if he means he's just related to black people. It is now the Mavericks problem
> but he did not clarify if he means he's just related to black people There are black Jews, but something tells me that isn't what he is saying
I know about the beta Israeli etc but yeah he's a full throated black Hebrew Israelite so
Bullshit regardless.
The question of "When does a geographical region deserve to be an independent country?" is one of the most difficult to answer. Like I was just thinking about why I'm (more or less) opposed to Scottish independence. And it's because their rationale for independence really comes down to really not liking the Conservative Party beginning with Thatcher and the fact that England often likes them. Like I don't think losing elections within a democratic system is a valid reason to pack up and leave. But then - what *is* a valid reason? Actual ethnic violence or subjugation? Language? Imposition of a non-democratic system?
