Loyalty to the flag

Such a creepy thing, getting children to chant in devotion to a state flag in schools.

It's the sort of thing they probably do in places like NK, or the Third Reich, you don't expect it to come from a supposedly modern, non imperialist nationalistic nation, ya know? :-(

It's literally the guy's actual face

Why does everybody insist on calling enemy occupiers, "settlers"?

When Russian civilians move in to annexed Ukrainian lands they're not called settlers. Settler suggests peaceful civilians moving somewhere they're allowed to inhabit, to start a new life.

They're invaders. Occupiers. Thieves.

Settlers my arse.

Do butterflies infest homes and destroy property?

I feel like it's less what they look like, and more how they impact us. It's still very human-centric, but ya know, not so much a beauty thing as one might think at first.

Ikea

It absolutely does not cost the same price as the properly made alternative. Noooo way.

Flat pack stuff like that is way, way cheaper, thus why people buy it.

Precognition proven! Parapsychology vindicated!

Judging just from the image and title, I'm guessing they're demonstrating this as evidence that there's insider trading going on, as just prior to the US President making a huge announcement that rocked the economy, a sudden unusual spike in activity was recorded.

This does not seem likely to be unrelated, given what this graph shows as normal activity.

The author suggests humourously that this is evidence of precognition - of being able to predict future events using magic.

Has anyone else noticed how dead most bars/clubs are now?

...Might help to mention what hemisphere you're in, or continent you're on? Or country? Or city?

The reason for your local change in nightlife could be anything from a wide, wide range of reasons, almost all of which depend heavily on where you are.

Let's not be like the uncouth Defaultist Americans that assume everybody in the world lives where they do. Let's be better, and let's provide a location when it's key info.

New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring ‘terrifying’ ordeal

Don't go to the USA.

Even if you're convinced their jackboots will spare you. It's not worth the risk, they'll target you for anything they like.

Maybe you're not quite white enough, maybe you liked a Facebook post criticising their government, maybe you've got an unamerican sounding name. Maybe you just weren't deferential, weak and obedient enough when they spotted you trying to come through the airport.

They will target you and send you to their concentration camps. If you're lucky you'll eventually be sent home with no physical injuries and just PTSD.

Don't go to the USA. It's just not worth it. There are far nicer places to visit that aren't fascist hellholes.

Good thing you censored those naughty words, everyone on the internet are children and it's not appropriate for them to know such no-no words.

I'm glad no child knows the word "kill". Phew.
