It’s got dat alliteration on its side though!

I’d upvote you, but you’re at 69, and it’s your birthday, so …good luck!

Hey, I understood some of that!

Seriously though as a frequent flier thanks for the insight. Airbus for life. Um, maybe literally…

Otherwise on the current track the US will be unable to service it’s debt.

Not as long as virtually all commodities trade in USD and USD remains the world’s reserve currency. I do get your broader point about any “revenue” raised by tariffs.

Hey, if they get traction, it’s a start.

The ironic thing is that all we in Europe have done is wave a carrot in front of Turkey’s face saying “reform and join us” when the reality is once we admitted CY, there was no fucking way Turkey was getting in without giving back the land they stole (and by stole, I mean stole wholesale.)

Turkey was in Russia due to its strangle hold on the exit from the Black Sea.

We have misses now…

This is the way, draw one enemy on one track, and many on the other…

I agree with the other commenters that Hitler was extra, super “special” evil. But Black Autonomist has a point. Popular history is a bit selective sometimes.

Close your eyes and think of England…

Unfortunately, fair point, yeah. I wish it weren’t like this. I’m here, and both those places, and I have to say that my engagement with BlueSky is far higher. That said, Lemmy and Mastodon have the potential to be something very special.

Bold of you to assume there will be free and fair elections in four years.

There is one thing this orange demon gibbon could do, and OFAC knows it: make it illegal to bunker these ships. Wilbur Ross was the shit monkey’s Sec Tres for a while, and he was a major ship owner and taught OFAC how it works.

It’s a nuclear option though, and nobody actually, really, wants to cut off this much oil from the world’s supply. That would cause inflation even worse than the dickcheese asshole’s deportation plans. So, I’m betting it won’t happen.

What will happen is he will give Israel permission to go full warfare with Iran.

You can also search for “starter packs” of helpful people to follow in whatever you are interested in, e.g., history, cooking, overthrowing the government, etc.

Um, you know those companies can sell weapons and craft to other countries right? Trump will still be happy for Europeans to buy weapons.

You called?

…and they are BIG!

Great. Now how do I get them to delete my data and account?

Eh, there are a few spots that it certainly feels like it, especially the Frisian islands.

This is the second thread I’ve seen today with contentious talk about sharpening knives, and I have to ask both sides: do none of you live near a knife sharpening place? I pay EUR 5 per knife two to three times a year, and my knives are always sharp.

Dull knives are dangerous and make prep real chore.
