Catholicism, people still give a percentage of their paychecks to an autocrat of a foreign city state so he can tell them what God wants. You’d figure after 1,400 years people would figure out they were getting scammed.
That’s not too say protestant churches aren’t guilty of the same things, they just haven’t been at it as long.

People who root for the tanks when pictures of tiananmen square are posted.

The joke is that the genie interpreted it as the letter I rather than the concept of “I” as in oneself.
So, with that interpretation, all the letter I’s in the remaining dialogue have been removed, but the character themself has not.

She’s playing the long game, no matter what she’ll get out of the prenup she’ll get more as a widow.
Trump’s 77, eats like shit, never exercises, and he has an Adderall addiction. She won’t have to wait too long and the payoff will be better.

It’s a buzz word.
ChatGPT came out and all the other tech companies like Google freaked the fuck out because they weren’t first to the market.
In response they started adding AI to Google search.
Well, Microsoft can’t let that stand either so now they’re both in a mad dash to put it in fucking everything before the other guy does.

Only 39 people in the US have been tested for H5N1 over the course of the 2024 outbreak.

I know that they’re only testing people who show symptoms and that it would be a waste of resources to test thousands of dairy workers that almost certainly don’t carry the virus, and the R value at the moment is basically nil so it’s not like they’re contagious, but my Covid PTSD is screaming in the back of my mind that there’s no such thing as overkill and if we don’t go nuclear on it, we’re gonna be mega fucked.

And every capitalist country slowly removes these benefits until major uprisings.

We figured out a long time ago that there’s only two things people need in order to keep them happy:
Bread and Circuses.
As long as people have food on their table and a source of entertainment you can take everything else away and they’ll be content enough to not revolt.
But it’s important to not take everything else away at once either, that’s why they chisel away at them until only those two are left.

Brightly colored plastics may break down into microplastics faster but they’re also drastically more visible, meaning they may get spotted and picked up before other colors.

They’re not going to remove her without a formal request to have her removed.

Parrots and Crows talk and we don’t employ them.

That explains why I didn’t get it at first, I thought she was holding the hungry hungry caterpillar.

I’ll wish badly on them for you then.
Good riddance!

No, I would support it being locked to the national retirement age though, which would be 67 at the moment.

$30 million when the appetite court cuts it by 2/3.

So, if this is the “start of [the] mission to ‘eliminate’ Hamas”, what the hell have they been doing since October?
I mean I know what they’ve been doing, but what was the goal?

Looking young is very different from feeling young.
I could never look at myself in the mirror ever again and it wouldn’t make my knees feel any better.
