You now remember China Launched a space station in 2021

if you're pro-America you oughta praise the presence of other nations in space, whether they're gov't funded or private, as that might get the competitive spirit out of america that's been so lackluster since reaganomics did its thing

also lol because the private rocket launch from norway was a failure, but the istar folks are framing it as expected, yadda yadda. i am no rocket scientist but that's pretty far north of the equator. at least nobody died.

any of you goobers like For All Mankind? i would love to see a season 5 someday.

Ah, Paul Krugman’s notion of "Billionaire Derangement Syndrome" is a curious one, isn’t it? He’s got a bee in his bonnet about the super-rich, calling them narcissistic and accusing them of bending the political system to suit their own whims. Now, there’s no denying that money talks in politics, and Krugman’s point about its influence is fair enough.

He leans on research by Paul Piff, a psychologist, to back his claims. Piff’s studies suggest that wealthier folks might be a tad more self-centered or prone to bending the rules.

Krugman’s beef with money in politics is valid. Wealthy donors can sway outcomes, and that’s a conversation worth having.

Life should be about finding the middle ground, best known by the average man, like a good pint of Guinness—not too bitter, not too sweet?

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 was a cracking game, wasn't it?

Now, if I were to rank the Allied Nations and their boosts, I'd put them in this order:

Turkey
Germany
France
England
Greece
Spain

What do you think of this lineup? Any favourites among these nations?

nah, editing out all of that shit, fuck fascism though.

Being an independent or centrist is often criticized as fence-sitting but it really just means resisting the temptation to side up. Sometimes the super outlier extreme position *is* the correct one, it just usually isn't.

If bernie wants me to hate "the billionaires" he needs to tell me why or how or under what circumstances it's wrong or bad to be a billionaire. He never ever does that. And I also noticed he's way richer than I am so it sorta falls on deaf ears.

You don't wanna be one of these rich guys do you?? Yes I kinda do bernie, thanks.
