That's why it used to be not orange, obviously.

At this point I'd be shocked if he was able to act like a human for five minutes.

Only Jerry can answer that question.

What's this woke nonsense? Most of those helium atoms started life as hydrogen atoms. Therefore they shouldn't be considered to be helium atoms!

"Ladies and gentlemen, with great pleasure, I give you RoboCop 2."

Oh wait, are we doing quotes that aren't in the actual movie?

Well that was quick. Kinda get the feeling Carney didn't outright reject the invite knowing that Trump would revoke it out of pettiness sooner or later. Now Trump feels like he "got him" while really he did exactly what we wanted him to do.

Adopting the Euro isn't required for being a member of the EU. UK used to be a member of the EU after all, and they never used the Euro.

He did... but just one sentence: "And on AI, we’re co-operating with like-minded democracies to ensure that we won’t ultimately be forced to choose between hegemons and hyperscalers."

And Carney was only invited to be on the board, but it seems we're not going to be paying the billion dollars Trump is demanding. So it doesn't seem likely that's going to happen.

I legit think streaming sites have become worse than video rental places.

It seemed like a big advantage that you could have unlimited number movies on a streaming site while a video rental store had limited shelf space. But it turns you you have to scroll through endless pages of crap to try to find something you actually want to watch.

Also the shops would eventually have any movie you want to watch. With streaming sites many things will never appear there because the corporation that owns the movie owns their own streaming site and will keep it exclusive to them. In the past it wasn't a thing where you'd have to keep track of which video rental shop had the rights to rent the movie you want to watch.

There was a time when it was just Netflix and pretty much anything would come on there eventually. That killed video rental. But it's been a long time since you could find everything on one streaming site, and it's gotten to be more expensive and time consuming to find a good movie to watch, so going to a video rental shop might actually make more sense now. But they're all gone now.

Luckily there are websites with dubious legality you can find everything on. I'm willing to pay for a streaming site that's actually convenient, but they don't exist anymore, just like Blockbuster.

Whenever I hear news of China, they built a new electric railway, invented something new, or made massive tech progress.

A lot of things in China fall apart in a few years. You can build things fast when you don't care about people's rights and just force them off whatever land you need, and make people work insane hours. A lot of the amazing things China brags about is a Potemkin village, just made to show the authoritarian leaders they did got the project complete on time and they in turn use it in their propaganda. Authoritarians always love to brag about making the trains run on time, right? The reality is often different from what the media portrays it to be in an authoritarian country.

But still, China is slightly preferable to the US at the moment.

Summary of white nationalism: You're special because your race is the best. The reason why things suck for you isn't because you're a loser. It's because the bad races made you feel like you're not special. But they're liars. You don't need to improve yourself, you're special because of your race.

My grandparents killed Nazis and were willing to nuke the Commies if they crossed the line. They had a lot of experience in fighting in urban combat so nobody dared to fuck them over. They were radical centrists were they not? Under radical centrism we achieved the peak of human prosperity.
