How do I view a book with the tilted perspective in your screenshot? It’s only showing flat pages for me.

Yeah, it’s technically illegal to sell blood and plasma but they get around this by paying you for your time instead. Gee, I wonder why this loophole doesn’t work for prostitution.

lol she’s not snubbing Benji, she just can’t attend because of a scheduling conflict. Her office has reiterated that a private meeting between them will take place. Make no mistake, she is just as much of a Zionist as Biden even though she sheds more crocodile tears for Gazan children.

Where are these adults? Do you proclaim yourself the mature voice in the room with this incredibly smug reply? All while you jack off to the military credentials of an uninspiring moderate? His positions are straight down the line identical to Biden’s. The only issue where he stands out is gun control- and that’s where he would automatically lose in every red state.

Mark Kelly has had an extraordinary career. Fighter Pilot, Navy Captain, Astronaut, husband of Gabby Giffords, twin brother of Scott Kelly, who has had an almost identical career. He’s a Blue senator from a Red state; he will steal voters from Trump, turning red states into swing states, and swing states into blue states.

You think any of that shit matters to the electorate in 2024? He beat a staunch anti-abortion crusader that previously lost to Sinema. Even Kamala could’ve won that one. You spout off his military credentials as if anyone impressed by that will now breathe a sigh of relief because they won’t have to vote to for the man who said rude things about them.

lol no he wouldn’t. If you still hold fantasies that a Dem with a military background is going to outflank Trump for the blue collar white vote then you really haven’t been paying attention.

If capitalism itself has been identified as the root of the problem, what other solution is there except overthrowing it completely? Do you prefer applying temporary bandaids indefinitely?

The thing is, SUV prices depreciate, and people who would never be able to afford a new one can easily obtain them used. Gas prices are obviously not enough of a deterrent even to those living paycheck to paycheck. Some additional barriers to disincentivize the choice of driving the largest car they can afford is very welcome.

The SUVs in Europe are also smaller on average than the behemoths on American roads. The largest ones you will come across in France will be BMW X5 sized. And while they are large, they are utterly dwarfed by SUVs like the Suburban, Sequoia and Escalade. An Escalade vs X5 comparison here.

Cats reduce pollutants that contribute to smog that directly harm human health. But they do nothing to reduce the net carbon released into the atmosphere. In fact, by converting carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide they are hastening climate change (CO2 is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO).

Hold onto it long enough and it will be eventually. Home ownership is the only real cheat code we have against inflation.

Can’t expect to mimic the curbside aesthetics of the model walkable-city when you’re dealing with 100+ degree heat for a third of the year.

lmao did you just fantasize about threatening a vegan while grocery shopping?

My dumb ass assuming India’s culture of reverence for cows would lead to slightly better treatment for them but forgetting that capitalism will always demand the most profitable option.

How is the dairy industry in India? I would assume it is nowhere near as cruel as it is in the West, where sadistic practices are incorporated at every stage of the process in the name of efficiency.

Not only do they make way more per hour worked but they also get healthcare, paid sick leave, and a retirement plan. A gig worker is precariously teetering on the edge of disaster with no recourse if they are unable to meet their required daily deliveries to pay for living expenses.

It’s sobering to think that those of us with this mindset would have had kids anyway if we were born a few decades earlier. Society all but coerced everyone to marry someone of the opposite sex and reproduce regardless of their wishes.
