If it wasn't for the whole:
Being an introvert doesn't excuse or explain unanswered texts. It's a shitty thing to do regardless.

"When you grow old who will care for you?" A trained professional who I'll be compensating fairly, that's who.
If an older person claims their kids won't speak to them because they won't give them money, they're almost certainly lying. This doesn't pass the smell test.

Because it's not profitable. Modern versions of cathedrals would have corporate sponsors.

I understand the point this is trying to make, but comparing American imperialism and Chinese imperialism is absurd. It's like comparing a firecracker to a patriot missile.

Cost of Living in Oslo vs Seattle
Holy shit. I make less a year than these people pay in taxes. And I live 30 miles from Seattle. I fucking suck at capitalism, lol.

Awesome. More of this, please. Playing music in a public place is a consent violation.

Interesting point. I live in America, unfortunately, and we have giant multi billion dollar stadiums in most major cities that are almost entirely funded by taxpayers. The corporations who's name goes on the front don't pay for most of the costs, it's taxpayers. And most of those taxpayers will never see the inside.
Although to be fair if Americans ever were to riot I would hope it would be about the rise of fascism and the comically large wealth inequality gap rather than taxpayers funding buildings.

The performance - by Rick Amor , 2024
I find this kind of.... spooky, for some reason. There's something ominous about this person pointing at a ladder on fire. Interesting composition.

Still much better than a pic of that asshole Richie Torres. He takes an absurd amount of money from AIPAC.

That makes sense. The people who are the most vocal about their support for China (online, anyway) tend to refuse to criticize China at all, even when it's deserved.
I am particularly disgusted with the US and our monstrous actions everywhere so I'm sure I'm at least a little biased about this. Comparing Chinese and American imperialism in the current year will inevitably feel like downplaying American atrocities to a lot of people. It feels like my government is a serial killer.

I think the look of the spirit world in The Medium was also influenced by Belsinski. Bloober Team is a Polish developer, after all.

Y'all can still watch Depp? He's an abusive asshole. JK Rowling likes him, for fucks sake.

Best protest pics!

Good point. I wonder how many of these disagree with the "no civil disobedience" stance that Indivisible has. I do think these protests are helpful overall, even if the organizations running it are doing it for the wrong reasons.

I definitely agree that Chinese imperialism sucks. There are a handful of genuine criticisms towards China that even people who admire China must admit are very bad policies. The treatment of the Uyghur Muslims is particularly heinous, although I don't know if it's considered imperialism. It's just that the shit the US gets up is orders of magnitude worse.

ICE will keep getting worse
I read that it makes ICE bigger than the fucking Chinese army. It's beyond obscene. One thing that I wonder about is... are there even enough racist sociopaths in this country to fill the ranks? You need a specific type of person to be willing to join ICE. It's possible that there simply aren't enough Americans who are willing to brutalize immigrants to use the $200 billion they were given.

'I don't care about Direct File': IRS chief says agency plans to end free filing program
Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.
