I miss mine so much, my dimwit brother threw it away like 2 decades ago along with our Megadrive, and I occasionally remember that and get sad all over again

This hurts me. Here’s an upvote

I’m no expert, but I’m pretty confident it needs a new drive belt.

From the article:

Restaurants and bars did robust hiring in September, adding 69,000 jobs last month, more than quadrupling their monthly average of 14,000 over the past 12 months, the Labor Department said. The healthcare sector added 45,000 jobs while the government contributed 31,000.

Other sectors adding jobs in September included social assistance (27,000) and construction (25,000).

I’m curious about the healthcare jobs, and if these include insurance paper pushers.

You guys are absolute stars!

They’ll flap their arms for propulsion

…Lisan al Gaib.

Hehehe. Thanks for the chuckle!

Well, not “kind” of dark, but really dark. I mean, the cartoon couldn’t be more direct in comparing the “haitian Simpsons” to the jews and other racial minorities in Nazi Germany, with the last panel being a page from the life of Anne Frank.

I think some economists would blow a gasket at that thought, since limiting spending power is the best way of controlling inflation without hurting the big fortunes.

Wonder what else these trusted media sources aren’t telling you about?

Interesting times we live in. The “trusted sources” are by now arguably deeper into the pockets of big capital than ever, while there’s a whole cloud of alternative sources that will cater to anyone with an agenda and money to spend…

Also, this happened 4 years ago. Why is it being posted like it’s news?

No, but 1kg of pasta? Are you feeding a battalion?

It looks like a fun chair.

The US is a net exporter of oil, and has been one for the last several years.

Why do you want to increase production if you’re not going to export?

I saw an interesting stat today that relates to this.

I’m in the EU, and this year for the first time my country spent more money buying Chinese solar panels than it did buying gas from the US, which has traditionally been a big national expense.

Putting it another way: the Chinese are selling us fishing poles, while Trump wants to keep selling us fish. Sure, we’ll keep buying fish for a while yet, but not for much longer.

I’m not even considering the climate and all that. It’s just a better economic investment.

But sure, you pump up those barrel numbers as high as you can, up until it comes crashing straight into the ground.

As for immigration, sure whatever. Kick out all the immigrants, but be honest and let me know how many people do you personally know that want to spend their life working the fields all day, or spend days at a time out at sea on a trawler, or mowing lawns for pennies on the dollar.

Because as a dev, I really enjoy my air conditioning and nice comfy office, and probably make more money than half a dozen of those pesky useless freeloaders combined, so you won’t be seeing me doing those jobs anytime soon.

This sort of campaign isn’t designed to sway your average undecided Joe.

It’s meant to reinforce the indoctrination of those already mildly radicalised, pushing them to the extreme. They will inevitably pull along some other inbred imbeciles along with them, and if they’re extremist enough and numerous enough, something like the invasion of the capitol would have worked.

Note: it’s not only morons who get swayed. Elderly folk are especially vulnerable to this sort of explosive statements, they have a tendency to believe what they read or see (on TV or other platforms) disregarding their own better judgement…

Wait wait, hold up. So Disney is providing trips to homeless kids to visit their amusement parks? Couldn’t they think of another way of changing these kids lives in a more… lasting way?

But in case screw those scumbags who took the trips.

If you mean “someone” as in an individual that is posting something they made that happens to contain the song, then I agree with you.

But there are many other uses where there should be restrictions (and need to pay royalties/get licence), like here where it’s being used in a political campaign, or for commercial purposes, or if being posted by a corporation, etc.
