also agree, a trump equivelant would have executed not sure the second the IQ test came in.

Honestly the most unbelievable part of that movie is, the president seems to be one of the smartest people born in that generation. Yeah he seems dumb by our standards, but you put him next to the lawyers and everyone else in that society... he actually seems pretty brilliant.

I'd say it partly depends on where you live.. or where you plan to live. Bottom line is in the US anywhere that isn't a big city. Being able to drive is basically going to be a pre-requisite to having a job.

Want to add in a potential extra as well... even if you DO find a service good and worth continuing to use, It's a good idea to try and cancel it anyway. Why, because a lot have special automations to attempt to retain you by offering you deals.

"are you sure you want to leave, what if we gave you 3 months at half off?".

Rimworld does pretty well on not just "money trader has" but specifically that traders don't deal in, well things they don't deal in.

Elder scrolls to my knowledge, the blacksmith will sell you a sword... and literally buy cheese wheels down to his last penny.

what's he going to do then... flip the sign from black smith to cheese shop, until he builds up enough cash to restock on metals, why isn't everyone a general store at that point due to customers selling and buying random stuff.

More dumb to me is, just simply the concept of nations changing drastically over time. It was the communist party of russia that fought along side us in WW2, it was the facist states in germany and japan that we fought against.

Obviously it's not the land mass and the name that people have problems with, it's the actions, people don't like the authoriterian regime that's attempting to take over the nations around it. People like the nations that show no signs of attacking other nations and look for mutually beneficial agreements.

This is so much like the confusion when he thought the german leader would think of D-Day as a bad day.

Well yeah but I believe the idea is in short the uncertainty, why it's saying "in 10 years". Think of it now as you have a kid graduating high school this year, and asks you what to major in in college that's likely to make enough to pay off those killer loans it's going to take.

and, same wording as the US is liberating california, from... itself.

Good fucking grief... Have they not watched trumps negotiations and the patterns

  1. Trump makes impossible unreasonable demand.

  2. Other nation gives half as a compromise

  3. Trump takes the half, then attempts to take the rest by force.

Denmark now needs to be ready to get bombed, by fucking planes launched from their own god damn airbases.

Was going to start with thinking that, but then watched the video. I'm hearing far more "My friend runs a land scaping business, and he lost 10 or so, he's going out of business". Then comments on how they don't live in a big city and they don't know how they are going to find people to hire. Finally in the last 15 seconds he tears up and says he got to know them as friends and he hates seeing what it did to them and their families.

So yeah... feels like "I won't make money", "I'll lose my business", and "oh yeah they were good people who I hate to see their lives ruined".

  1. Because most internet arguements wind up as bullet points
  2. Because we suck at grammar.

Well I can agree with the general concept, we are closer than ever to the brink of a nuke being dropped on US soil. Because the only time anyone has considered a situation important enough to drop a nuke, it was to stop an alliance of facists from wrecking the world.
