Rule of law at its finest
Market competitive even with the 100% tariff. Incredible.
This is the logical conclusion of seeing raw GDP per capita as the most important metric.
They have no choice but to double down at this point.
would still get restricted because they’re contentious. Like if you start talking about how you believe in equal rights, that’s something most people agree with (at least in principle,) and it shouldn’t be political. But it’s going to ruffle some feathers anyways (especially if you get any more specific than that,) so it’d be restricted.
If this is the best example you can come up with, it is fairly unconvincing that any mainstream political will be restricted.
I never thought that I'd agree with the Israeli government on any issue.
But now I'm forced to agree that Israel should voluntarily cutoff their own arms.
I just googled to see how big Kharkiv is and it's the second biggest city in Ukraine after Kiev.
I thought that it was another regional center but it seems like it's actually a big deal this tume around.
Tariffs are okay when emerging economies use them to protect and nurture their budding industries.
It's kinda the opposite here.
our sacred constitution
Israel truly is America's little brother. Founding documents never trump the will of current members despite what constitutionalists believe.
To be fair, they do it to Native Americans too complete with tipis, headdresses and all.
Cultural appropriation is their culture
GDP per capita is the only metric that matters. There's absoutely no problem with it whatsoever.
This is the best America has ever been.
Please heed our call Mr. Kelogg. People are demanding sawdust-enriched cereals.
My standards are getting lower every year.
I'll settle for regular rail and decriminalizing homelessness at this point.
If they need any more motivation to ditch the fork, they are a Chinese invention. Evil CCP can spy on you through this piece of critical technology.
I once saw a survey done in Seattle asking people whether they would prefer to eat feces raw or deep-fried. Based on the result of that survey, I have concluded that people in Seattle like deep-fried feces and are actively choosing to eat it.
That is bigger than half the world's per capita military spending only on additional policing.
The anti-war student movement that has occupied campuses across the United States spreads with the birth of Latin America’s first pro-Palestine camp at UNAM, the storied Mexican university
A Jewish professor and the former head of Jewish studies. Arrested for being anti-zionist. The contradictions still hasn't set in somehow.
I see that you conveniently forgot to account for college football. Keep bathing in your own inferiority, carpetbagger.
Hit 'em back with a liberal classic - whataboutism
Even Ilhan Omar and Tlaib? I can't believe that there isn't even a token member left to pretend that the public can push democrats slightly to the left anymore.
Whoa whoa what do you mean other games are all poo?
You aren't including Final Fantasy Tactics in your denouncement surely.

Hokkaido resident interviews below regarding the phenomena
>When the stock prices go up abnormally, there are repercussions so I'm cautious
>Hourly wage nor salaries will rise up and we cannot go on living like this. Only (stock) prices that are unrelated to daily living are rising.
>No one feels that the economy's doing well. The rich gets richer while the poor stays poor.

The US government is spending nearly $1 million a month to maintain a luxury superyacht seized from a sanctioned Russian oligarch as part of the Justice Department’s effort to put pressure on the Kremlin.
日本の人口は2070年に8700万人に減少すると推計され、「地方創生」という言葉が空疎に響くほど東京一極集中が進んでいる。「人新世の『資本論』」で知られる東京大准教授の斎藤幸平さん（36）はこの状況をどう捉えているのだろう。研究室を訪ねると、気鋭の学者は「超格差社会」の現実を見据えていた。【聞き手
-Saito Kohei is a renowned Marxist scholar from the University of Tokyo
-As a result of ignoring climate change and economic disparity, people are not reproducing anymore
-Japanese social contract has been broken down and lifetime employment has been reduced to irregular employment
-Workers are being seen as nothing more than costs by companies
-Overconcentration of population in Tokyo is happening not due to the wish of the poeple, but due to the concentration of capital there
-Population decline is happening not only in rural areas but in regional cities as well due to this phenomena
-Japan and South Korea are in a grave situation due to advanced capitalism (in their respective countries)
The car starts at just over US$11,000, lower than bestselling petrol-powered cars like Volkswagen’s Lavida and Toyota’s Corolla.
>The car starts at just over US$11,000, lower than bestselling petrol-powered cars like Volkswagen’s Lavida and Toyota’s Corolla
>The world’s largest EV maker, BYD has been ramping up efforts to make its mass-market electric cars more affordable for Chinese consumers
>BYD, the world’s largest electric-vehicle (EV) maker, has launched a new version of its plug-in hybrid model the Qin Plus DM-i, pricing it lower than bestselling petrol-powered cars like Volkswagen’s Lavida and Toyota’s Corolla.
>The company, backed by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, said on Monday that the new variant, known as the Glory Edition, aims to accelerate customers’ conversion from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to EVs amid a slowing economy.
>The new version starts at 79,800 yuan (US$11,086), lower than the previous edition by 20,000 yuan or 20 per cent. Its battery-only driving range is 55 kilometres.
>“The price will make petrol car assemblers tremble,” BYD said in a statement on the microblogging site Weibo. “The Glory Edition will become a benchmark for the Class-A [compact] car segment.”
>The new edition is 15 per cent cheaper than the entry-level Lavida and nearly 40 per cent less than the basic Corolla.
Capital One is acquiring Discover Financial Services for $35.3 billion in an all-stock deal, giving the bank a leg up in the competitive credit card market.
>Capital One announced it’s acquiring Discover Financial Services for $35.3 billion in an all-stock deal, giving the bank a leg up in the competitive credit card market.
>If the deal is finalized, current Capital One shareholders will own a 60% stake in the combined company, while Discover shareholders will own the remaining 40%.
>With a market valuation of almost $28 billion, Discover is considerably smaller than the other three major credit card networks in the US — Visa (V), Mastercard (MA) and American Express (AXP). Credit card networks are the liaison between card issuers and merchants, for whom they set fees.
>Getting Discover, which also issues its own credit cards, under the same roof as Capital One would give the bank a major leg up against competing credit card-issuing banks such as JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C), which don’t process transactions themselves.
>A marriage between Capital One and Discover, if approved by regulators, would also give Capital One a new source of revenue from the merchant fees it collects.
>Currently, Capital One issues credit cards with Mastercard, Visa and Discover. The deal would likely result in more of its cards getting switched to the Discover network, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier on Monday before the deal was officially announced.
“To have an idea of a woman as a beautiful silhouette—no!” Prada says. “I try to respect women... I try to be creative in a way that can be worn, that can be useful”
>Prada likes the word useful; she dislikes the word luxury, which she finds vulgar. And here is the rub, the nub, the dichotomy that runs through her life and her work: Miuccia Prada is an extraordinarily successful fashion designer selling beautiful, expensive clothes and accessories. She is also—something confirmed with a nod when I asked—politically left of center, with a doctorate in political science (she also studied mime for five years), a former member of the Italian Communist Party who marched for women’s rights. “I always thought there were only two noble professions: politicians or doctors,” she told me. “Doing clothes [while coming from] a group of very important intellectuals—for me it was like a nightmare. I was so ashamed, but anyway I did it…. The love of beautiful objects prevailed.” Her political opinions have mostly had to be kept private. “I work for a luxury company,” she said, laughing at the irony. “It’s not perfect for a political position like mine—this was always the biggest contradiction in my life.”
>Miuccia Prada was born Maria Bianchi into a well-heeled bourgeois Milanese family in 1949. Her grandfather Mario Prada had founded Fratelli Prada (“Prada Brothers”), a leather-goods shop, in 1913; her mother took over the family business in the 1950s.
>“When I was young,” Prada told me, “I always wanted to be different.” She immersed herself in the activist generation of the 1960s, but she always loved clothes—while everyone else was wearing jeans at demonstrations, she famously wore Yves Saint Laurent.
>And while she rebelled against the bourgeois assumptions of her upbringing, she joined the family business, taking it over from her mother in 1978.
>It comes as little surprise, given her youthful background in agitprop and protest, that Prada remains very much aware of the wider world far outside fashion—its wars and suffering, its array of crises and injustices. “That’s why I am always ashamed,” she told me. Publicly but quietly, as well as personally, Prada supports a myriad of causes, including cancer research, but she tends to be discomfited by showy fundraising galas, preferring engagement to mere charity.
Mette Frederiksen made the announcement at the Munich Security Conference and appealed to other European nations to do more to help Ukraine in its war with Russia.
>Denmark is sending its “entire artillery” to Ukraine, the Danish prime minister has said.
>“They are asking us for ammunition now. Artillery now. From the Danish side, we decided to donate our entire artillery,” she said.

It's super weird that a niche communist forum with like 100 active users is getting spammed in the first place.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Did we ban some lib who is super mad now?
I enjoyed the first one very much, but the second installation is not a top-down shooter anymore.
Does anyone have thoughts on this game?
While some decry Canada's MAID (Medically Assistance In Dying) program as the biggest existential threat to disabled people since Nazi Germany, others point to budgetary savings that the program is offering.\ \ The program continues to expand at an accelerated rate. People who were not dying were eligible for the treatment starting 2021, and those suffering from mental health conditions are eligible for the program starting April 2024. The Parliament is investigating whether children ("mature minors") deserve the right to MAID as well. Initial reports suggest that it may be our moral imperative to offer them the gift of choice. (p.54-p61)[https://www.parl.ca/Content/Committee/441/AMAD/Reports/RP12234766/amadrp02/amadrp02-e.pdf] \ \ 4.1% of all deaths in Canada were attributed to the program in 2022 and the expansion only continues.
