Converted to USD, a lot of that processed crap is really similar price here. I've seen frozen pizzas that price for sure and I've never looked at Hungry Man in ages, but whatever they sell here now that's "diet" slop meals with a few hundred calories of garbage is easily $6 US.
Produce isn't that high here though at all. I just bought an apple for a recipe and I know it wasn't $2.50 I don't even think it was $1 US. I haven't bought bread in a while. The good Irish butter is probably $6 if I remember right. If you buy that solidfied oil garbage "I can't believe it's not butter" crap then it's cheap. Meat might be, you could certainly find ground beef for that. I cook a ton, and I use cheap beef cuts a lot, they can be made nice in the right dish.
They don't ever notice it, and the real voting power is in the Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street, who tend to own about 25% of the voting power in any S&P 500 stock. If you are invested in their funds, they are voting that with YOUR money. So it's as simple as if they want the Indian idiot, they only need another 25% to make it happen. AND their people sit on the boards too.
The push towards mutual funds, index funds, and the requirement for many advantaged retirement accounts is the reason for almost all of this corporate mess, as it did nothing but consolidate power far worse than before. With YOUR money.
Funny enough probably true. I mean a lot of their wins were against highly inferior foes. I'm not sure it would be an accomplishment for a military power to march up and conquer the spine of Africa today except for they'd never get the political will to do so.
Oh yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of things that border more on blasphemy, for example a Christian writing "Allahu Akbar" on their hat in defiance. I mean I'm sure it can be argued as a gray area, it's just not one I'd go to.
Mockery, that's entirely different story. I even almost lump "Synagogues of Satan" in that category and those were Jesus words, although probably not meant as mockery.
Yeah I don't think there's any provision anywhere in the bible allowing you to covertly or directly bow to other gods as trickery. It's just not allowed.
The Christian balls would be walking away from MLB over it, and doing your best to convince any other Christians to do the same. There's actually enough Christians in MLB I bet it would work if they all did, but the reality is the love for money is great and I don't think they'd ever get a big enough group to risk it.
They've turned so hard to being the Israeli news network since Trump's second term it's insane. It's the boomer cons mostly that watch it though. My mom is so trained she just can't bear the thought of even disagreeing with anything the great state of Israel does. I've been around her house when it's on, they repeat themselves so much it's basically brainwashing. Leave it on for four hours and you'll be chanting anti-Iran things by the end of it.
I never liked the whole model of having my opinions screamed at me anyway whether it came from Fox or CNN or whatever the hell MSDNC calls itself now. I'd also rather read than watch videos.
How did the British get so weak? This little island once controlled such an immense part of the world, and that even well after the Americans had kicked them out. They didn't just dominate it either, they built it up. Most of the infrastructure in Africa was built by the British as one example. They kept India in check. They controlled today's big problem in Israel.
At some point, they just decided to give it all back slowly, and now they are letting their own island be conquered. It's insane.
That is such it. I remember during all the Floyd riots seeing these cute little white guilt letters to the blacks, "Oh I am soooo sorry you lived on the other side of the bridge from you poor black people, oh it's all my fault I never loved you I'm soooo sorry." I'm just thinking, what the hell I lived with these people my entire life. I have no memory of a school without a notable number of blacks, a job without blacks, maybe I lived on a street without blacks at best. The funny thing is, I wasn't all that super racist either, I developed most of that seeing how they acted once the powers that be started riling them up. There was rarely a race thing when I was in school with them.
I'm totally done with atheists too, maybe I explored that in the past, really more of a Christianity is broken than atheism is right path. The way so many atheists carry themselves puts them down, and the historical reality that really an atheist society has never built anything.
I would expect that to be terrible anyway as my understanding and recall (it's been ages since I read the books) is that really nothing more than the premise itself comes from Tolkien's works and the writers are making up the rest of it. They can totally add gays and frizzy haired black women now.
That channel should really be called Fox Jews.
I've said for years the best kids are the ones I can give back. I get along super well with most older kids, my nephews, cousins kids, friends kids. I'd still never want to take over any of them unless it really was like to keep them out of the orphan system or from just some terrible gay or drug addicted family member. That's only for the ones I already know. If some kid random kid just showed up at the door I'd be trying to get rid of immediately.
I used to work with a black guy trying to adopt an older black kid. I mean that should be nearly as easy as picking up a dog from the pound. Older black kids aren't exactly the choice bunch.
He spent over a year going thru some sort of "licensing" process where the training courses being a huge chunk, then the inspections of his house that got to such detail that they were requiring him to fix some of the most asinine things in his house as "safety" issues. He gets through all that. Gets sort of a kid figured out. The best idea I could get is the foster who had the kid was going to have to give up some kickbacks so they basically manipulated the kid out of going along with it. So it all falls through, and then the government says his license is expired and he has to start all that process over. He just quit at that point.
I was just talking to someone in person last week about someone else not only who look very similar but have the same first and last name. Funny enough the one I saw on TV was in trouble with the law. There's no way AI facial recognition wouldn't match those two up. It's all bullshit. Tons of people look the same.
Another sickeningly ugly face. They really do hate anything but just the ugliest faces possible.
Wow, you sound so intelligent! Oh please tell me how I can also become superior arrogant atheist scum too.
That's totally what I was reading into it. I mean the guy sounds like a piece of shit, punish him for something. I'm not buying he forced women to the crown princesses home to force sex on them. They went willingly, partook of whatever drugs and alcohol willingly, etc.
What I've seen of them remind me of slightly nicer versions of the American public schools I was sentenced to endure for 13 years of my life.
Curious though what they'd do if their prisons got full of blacks where none of that structure holds up anymore. I guess their current answer is let them roam free.
Since they are of the faggot class, they could probably go into wherever adoption center, claim they want the baby for nothing more than to test out a live sex toy, and be given one because you're a bigot if you don't accept their ways.
It's a good deal because it gets us out of some bullshit we never should have had anything to do with to begin with. We can't go back and have never started. We aren't going to go flatten Iran with sheer military might. The only other answer is to piddle around for years shooting bombs at each other and fighting over some water passages. I'd rather take a weaker deal, call it a good deal and move on than that.
I'd probably argue back a bit that most American stadiums don't even have the facility available for everyone there to neatly dispose of their trash as it would just massively overflow the bins with the expectation that trash is left at the seat.
Granted, I tend to like the Japanese way better, and there's also a line between leaving a neat pile of easily picked up trash at a seat and absolutely abhorrently trashing the place.
One of the biggest problems going in I had with it all is there wasn't a reasonable win condition. I'm not the lefty non-violence is the answer type on being against it. If I throw out trusting Israeli intel about as much as I trust an Indian scammer and just assume we are in this war, then it comes to what? Could we go over there, flatten them, and win? Sure. If the claim is we are out of ammo reserves, I take that more as we are out of reserves that we are willing to use. If we went into a real war against Iran, the sheer resource might of the US crushes Iran. The problem with that is there's pretty much zero political capital to go start a real war over there. The only ones that even want it are the Israel-first fake Americans.
So it comes back to we don't have a win condition. The win is crushing Iran, and the cost to crush them is more than the political capital the war has. Whatever I've seen in this deal is probably a good deal for us, and puts an end to it all, and honestly I think those it stands to piss off the most are the same Israel-first fake Americans.
It doesn't have to be sold. Most of the news cycle will flip quickly. My biggest concern with the whole deal as I've seen is there's no chance Israel goes along with it, and we won't tell them to piss off.
So there's no provision that Netanyahu is named king of the new Iran East Israel? We might make it through when most of us stateside are sleeping tonight.
Is the GoFundMe for his family’s Escalade open yet?
If someone said openly they didn’t want to work for a Christian or a Christian company, the response would range from indifference to applause. Anyone who didn’t like it would be mocked. So they can fuck right off with this bullshit.
I think it drives away the very ones who built it and were around before it was ubiquitous. Which is probably a lot of the people here.
I don't like to be too rough on the youth in general, but something I notice that is really concerning is they have absolutely zero instinct for an expectation of privacy. If there was any one thing I had to point to different between my generation and that age now, it's not that they are lazy or stupid or any of the normal stuff, it's they don't even expect, much less demand privacy. These are whose parents tracked their every move once they were old enough to have any freedom at all. I find that alone appalling. They find it normal. They willingly trade secure information, will easily give out data to apps, and hell a ton of them share pics of their genitals damn near as easily as their face.
