It's the 32 KG mop all over again

Note: Above video is marketing for an exercise plan, but it's also funny to watch occasionally when he has new episodes. As far as I know, the weights are real, but they're always loaded funny in the videos. Max plates visually for the weight the dudes are lifting

The first president of Estonia after regaining our independence, was once quoted saying "The situation is shit, but it's the fertilizer of our future."

The meaning is very similar, in that he was saying that the hard times need to be suffered for things to get better, but what's different between him and the current American administration? Well, for one, the situation wasn't shit because of his personal ego trade war, it was shit because the economy was shit in every ex-soviet nation for a time. It took time to accustom to independence and free markets. But most of all, he spoke from a place of respect, not one of disrespect. Him saying that was his honesty to the Estonian people. He didn't lie and say everything would get good quickly. This was also a man you could simply approach publicly and he'd answer your questions. Didn't need to be a press release and you didn't need to be a journalist or a celebrity.

What I'm saying is that dear Americans, your current president and vice president simply don't respect you.

Because these comments or their sentiment are usually in the style of Arrested Development

DINKs are already an entirely separate class tbh.

I feel like she's got as much right to be in this image as the other dudes

The merchiest company in my country is one that does online casino software. Worst part is, they have the highest quality merch so people actually use it. I've seen the logo on like Thule backpacks and shit.

Hasn't gotten me to go work for them, but they're damn good at reminding people that they exist.

Would YOU want to keep on living if you had to speak to JD Vance?

So is slapping all your major trade partners with tariffs, but look what happened.

I'm not saying it's a certainty, but it's now a possibility that must be considered whereas previously it would've been unthinkable.

The Vienna Convention is what the US uses constantly to keep their people insulated.

Normally, yes. But at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see the orange oaf ignore it and then try to muscle other countries into still respecting it when American diplomats are on the line.

Hell, I'm hoping that won't happen. But personally, I'd be a bit skittish about traveling to the US right now as a diplomat. I'd also be very skittish about traveling to the US as a non-diplomat.

If the fascists here take over, it'll be the local ones tbh. But don't worry, I'm already running a personal trade surplus with the USA. Trump would hate me.

Friend, I live at least 7 timezones away from you. I appreciate you burning shit down, but the people who voted the orange fascist into power are your friends and family, not me.

 

They have German and Finnish data centers, as well as American. Pricing is pretty competitive, and unlike anything super autoscalable in AWS, it's predictable.

They offer an email service that comes with their basic webhosting service, which is a bundle that costs less for 100 inboxes than Google Suite or Proton for just one user, if all you need is email.
