As a bunny, I wish my feed wasn’t 50% foxes and owls.
The sunsets and space telescope photos are nice though.

Any guess why the free world is repudiating the US?

There used to be. Here’s Orson Welles doing “one for me, one for the camera”:

He'd pretend to care about hockey if he could spend millions to show up for a photo op, going "Hello fellow sports fans" before leaving at half time or before the race.

Doesn't work for many quality-of-life things. Buy a cheap-arse bicycle and it'll never wear out coz you'll quickly hate cycling. Bargain basement audio is actively awful and drains music of all joy.
High entry level or used mid level can be a better gauge.

I submitted this once as an answer to “name a film that would be just as interesting in reverse?”
Some schoolgirls go on a picnic to a creepy rock. When they return, an extra girl has mysteriously appeared in their group. Nobody knows where she came from, or why.

I’m sure the EPA will be gutted and they’ll set to work logging whatever forests remain in the USA until it resembles Soviet East Germany, including all the pollution from totally deregulated industry.

Nor the pickers. It’s kinda labour intensive.

Also, what’s the deal with the scale? It’s like they pulled numbers out of a hat.
Maybe do quintiles or deciles next time?

Hey, it's also Australia. And NZ. UK too, France, Germany, all of Scandinavia...wait, it's the entire western world except one country.

Hey, I looked you up on here and followed you from the in depth knowledge, humour and cutting to the chase eloquence of your appearance on Qanon Anonymous, because I want to hear more of your work :)

If it gives you any consolation, I know of Homer and his works, but have no idea who TF Christopher Nolan is without Googling.

They had 1 former Soviet submarine, but lost it when Putin decided Crimea was his, 10 years ago.

I’d say tell him Australia is next to Germany and Zeeland is part of the Netherlands, but he wouldn’t be able to find them either and might end up invading us anyway by mistake.

Just don’t tell him Australia & New Zealand exist. He probably hasn’t heard of us yet.

There’s too much digging in & doubling down online. I regularly thank people for correcting poor logic/info on my part and am more than willing to concede points, or at the very least say “that’s a solid argument & I understand where you’re coming from, seems we only differ on how we value X v Y”.

Leasing it out also meets the rules.
There would have to be zoos that would be interested, or wildlife parks.

Even better than treating the symptom and using reading as a cure, make reading part of your bedtime ritual. Your eyes will tell you when to close the book. Screens won't.

Not a movie, but the procedural series Pagan Peak might be up your alley?

Sydney alone is more populous than about 27 US States.
They’re more like local council areas. No wonder the people are often so anti-government. Absolutely insane imagining local councils being legislative bodies, let alone the inefficiency and complexity of so many disparate systems.

Farsi isn’t related to Arabic. It’s in the Indo-European tree, while Arabic is Afro-Asiatic.

September 11th 1965! Graeme Obree, Scottish racing cyclist was born in Nuneaton, England...

Not even "arguably", that's straight out what happened. Same with Pinochet, Gaddafi, Hussein, the dictatorships in Brazil, Argentina and Guatemala...there are many of them.
Should look up the death count of unionists and other left wingers when Ferdinand Marcos was installed in Indonesia.

Ah, but they committed the unforgivable crime of deciding that the profits from their oilfields should belong to the Iranian people and not to foreign corporations.
Subjecting an entire nation to decades of fundamentalist religious rule (anti Israel too) is nothing as long as the $$$ keeps coming.

Exactly why capitalism killed so, so many people by installing friendly dictators over democratically elected left leaning leaders, decade after decade all across the globe.
But I'm sure you already know that.

And blame you for not pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Bad luck to you if the exact same system makes bootstraps almost impossible to come by in your community or country.

It's an $874K bribe, with an ugly hack job "artwork" used to give it a veneer of not being blatant corruption.

Yes, good not to be all/nothing about such things. Obvs all economic systems are about allocation of scarce resources. The profit motive is the strongest incentive for production but often weak at distribution. Where ppl die from a lack of distribution of surplus, IMHO it's 100% a system fault tho.

Everyone agrees the best music was from when you were going through your late teens and early 20s. Because it was the soundtrack to laying down the most vivid memories of your rapidly expanding life.

There's gonna be so much cake, you'll get tired of cake. Nobody knows as much about cake as I do, a lot of people say "Sir, you should be a pastry chef" and maybe I will one day. You know who doesn't understand cake? Crooked Comrade Ka-mah-lah. Wants to give cake to trans immigrants in prison.

True, and AFAIK the Gates Foundation does useful anti-malaria work. And yet we still have excess deaths from preventable disease and starvation in the free world. Not praising Commumism btw, only hoping that we're actually comparing (lack of) apples with apples.

Is this the part where we count starvation in China or the Soviet Union as a systemic flaw, but famines and malaria deaths in the free world as the Hand of God, while billionaires hoard wealth and shit on gold toilets?

I and a couple of dozen others climbed onto the stage when they performed this as an encore once, Pete shoved the mic into my face so I could belt out at least one line of the chorus :)

As a moderator of a quite large subreddit, take it from objective evidence that removing free speech absolutism and banning the very vocal minority of extreme bigots leads to more users, views, and comments. Because no balanced adult wants bad faith actors taking a dump in their beer.

Honestly no idea. Remembered hearing that certain specific modern human ailments probably came from Neanderthals and relied on Dr Google (Ph.D)
