When Trump tells journos to fuck off, he does it in a fun way that gets everyone to laugh. When Newsom does it, he comes off as a screeching Karen who can't handle having their terrible behavior being recorded in public.
 
China is actually net neutral in terms of calories, they run a giant food trade deficit by value because they export cereals and produce and import meat and animal products.
Helps that the chemical makeup of the average chinaman is 50% water 50% rice.
 
Where's the Federal Judge to strike this down and tell Trump he can't build his tallest tower in Australia, and it'll have to be sold to the Chinese?
I don't think SCOTUS realized how insanely they pissed Trump the fuck off with that tariff ruling. I haven't seen him this continually angry for a long time.
Normally, he just laughs off his critics, but he's absolutely fuming at them. One can only hope this gives him the push to blackmail them into ruling the right way on 14A and VRA, because tariffs are a pittance in the long-run compared to them.

Trump does it to their face.
Newsom does it behind his support team.

I wonder if the dyslexia reveal is supposed to give him an out should a tweet or text cause controversy? If he posts something a little too spicy he can blame it on a staffer or speech to text.
 
No, there's a hidden plot point within Cyberpunk lore that there is a self-duplicating hivemind of autonomous sea mines that have gotten big enough to be compared to Australia. All hidden underwater.

It's why the Elites in-universe created that Soma-esque escape. At the size it is, it will sooner rather than later come in contact with land and go off.
It's also why people use airships instead of boats. Also why Arasaka bringing Saburo to America via aircraft carrier was such a flex.
If you live in the NYC area after the snowstorm, Mayor Zohran Mandani is offering up to $28.71 an hour for citizens to help with snow cleanup.

However, you'll need to be at least 18 years old and provide FIVE forms of ID. (Archive.)

:story:
The best part is I'm pretty sure they need so much ID because they're worried about people stealing and reselling the shovels. Import the third world... uh, how did the rest of that go again?

Disabilities are apart of the idpol totem pole so I think it was a retarded attempt to garner sympathy.
>Hey guys, I want to be president and I can't read the bullshit that lands on my desk.
 
Why the fuck did he run for office knowing that he is functionally illiterate? Jesus Christ, did California elect a special needs student for governor!?
That is correct.
Not only he can't read, but his state has one of the lowest literacy rates in the union. The guy claims to understand the struggles of illiteracy, but has done jack shit to fix it.
California spends more money on education per year than the GDP of New Zealand, but it can't teach taco niggers how to read English.
 
I have a genuine question about western/U.S politics that I can't find a strait answer for as most popular forms of discourse are places like Reddit. Recently I was in a Youtube comment section regarding Greenland from a defense focused Youtube channel. Anyways in amongst the cringe worthy comments there's one guy that said he would support the French in nuking certain parts of florida. When confronted with this they replied that the other person must feel kinship with pedophiles because the nuking would erase them. This isn't an isolated event, I've seen it elsewhere as well. Basically someone disagrees with an insane left leaning take like Mexico invading Texas or some such and in response gets called a pedo or violence defender. What's going on in these circles where "you touch kids" has become a new go-to after "fascist" and "Nazi"? Also I can't say for certain but I feel like there's more extreme-left Trans people out there grooming minors and actually committing horrible acts than there are "illiterate Trump MAGAts" that do the same.

There is a load of disabilities to choose from that would have broader appeal. If he isn't actually dyslexic, I think he chose that one as a preemptive defence against any unfortunate texts leaking.
 
Pretending this is a good faith question. Because the number 1 goal for jews is to not have to assimilate. They get kicked out of countries because they refuse to assimilate and because they act in their self interest.

The easiest way to prevent forced assimilation is to reduce social cohesion. So they do this. Some of them absolutely want to kill whitey for percieved past wrongs. But most of them are just attacking things that will force them to assimilate and maximize the amount of things that grant minorities maximal social power. This almost always disenfranchises the plurality or majority which breeds additional resentment.

I am willing to grant that most jews arent super villians actively planning white people destruction. Though we have documented proof that some jews do in fact do this, such as the porn jews talking about debasing white society. But they do dislike white people and will shit on them when they can. Most races do this except white people. I also think they all maximize their own race to the detriment of their host nation. Jews would do the same thing they do here in Japan or China if they were allowed too.

Askenazi jews have a particular grudge against white people though.
There's a strange aversion to facts some people have when it comes to jews and accepting that some genuinely do just want to be evil.

Their playbook tells them to accuse their enemy of that which they themselves actually do.
 
Aka the stupidest lore in the entire game tbh.

It's really just a way to justify the lack of ships in the harbor.

A few million intelligent anti ship mines that self replicate would literally destroy all intentional sea trade.
It's less about lack of ships, and more that the RPG before the game had some over-the-top misery porn, to the point where little about the setting makes a whole lot of sense. For example, in game you'll hear on the radio sometimes that weather is supposed to be "survivable" on some days? The reason for that is that we fucked up the planet so badly that pretty much nowhere is completely survivable, and most of the planet is literally inhospitable wasteland akin to the surface of Mars. The vast majority of plant and animal life has been wiped out globally too. It leaves the game devs in an awkward spot where they have to make sense of all this shit and it seems like they're mostly just quietly ignoring it.
Oh yeah. Although I think it already did destroy overseas trade. Didn't stop trade through the air.

Plus, it's one of those Rabbithole ideas. Like are you telling me nobody's accidentally triggered these things at all? 🙄

I know jack shit about Cyberpunk, but wouldn't the solution to this just be to set off the mines BEFORE they reach the mainland?
IIRC the mines are super smart, to the point where you can't "accidentally" set them off, they have to choose to go off. And despite that intelligence, they're still not sapient, so they're technically doing what they're supposed to, I.E. bombing enemy ships. It's just that their terrible programming has made them totally paranoid, assuming that anything could potentially be an enemy pretending to be a friend, thus they bomb all ships and refuse shutdown orders.

The 90s were such an insane time in fantasy and sci-fi.

They went from saying Trump is a pedo because his name is in the files as the default insult to confusing that further to mean everyone who supports Trump must be a pedophile. It's the fresher "Nazi!" I also think there's an aspect of trying to "own" the insult so that any attempt to point out the rampant pedophilia on their side is less effective.
