Promise. He’s getting ready to become the DNC nominee for 2028.

I can personally attest this actually happened, and then OOP found the light of Allah and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada on the spot.

So what you’re saying is that it’s fine to curse all the presidents collectively?

Of course not, but it would be a real shame if Biden were to accidentally disturb a jinn… or a Xi Jinn-ping

Well, if they keep using the word every 5-year-plan, I think that downgrades the rarity. Pretty soon it will only be an uncommon congress.

This has been a consistent policy line of Kim Jong Un, in line with his previous statements:

• 2012 where NBC reported he told “China that his priority is to develop the decaying economy and improve living standards”
• 2016 where CNN reported on his five-year plan: “In keeping with his pledge to improve his people’s living standards, Kim also emphasized the need to generate more electricity…”
• 2024 where the Pyongyang website Friend-DPRK reported: “At present, it is a very urgent immediate task for leveling up the material and cultural living standards of the regional people to adopt a revolutionary strategy and take all measures to make it possible to develop regional industry in a comprehensive and balanced way by most effectively creating and using the economic resources and raw materials of cities and counties and to promote the peculiar development of each regional economy and expand the scope of investment in it while creating a climate of competition in order to accelerate diversified growth.”
• Probably much more as well…

This Redditor got 2.5 TB of RAM for free… that’s probably enough?

But guuuuuuuuuuuuuys, these are fake Potemkin villages for the tourists and just a visibility project so some local leader gets promoted /s

Even if a lot won’t, some are actually being built. I’ve visited the new Abilene AI data center in person (they preemptively addressed potential concerns about power/water usage, claiming “we’re not the bad guys”) and they’re expanding it like crazy…

IMHO the US government doesn’t care about the Iranian people, but just wants to protect whoever inherited the oil interests there from the last coup in 1953… just proving right about IMHO.

If someone disagrees on Iran though, I’d probably respect them more if they would come out and say they think the US really does care about Iranian people or whatever issue in the protests they brought up rather than blind hatred (even if it’s very hypocritical). As it is, it really looks like downvoters are just going out of their way to support pedophiles when it would have been so easy to point out that obviously they don’t support that.

To you or those who upvoted, would you like to clarify? In the nicest way possible, given the context of the meme being about pedophilia, it really looks like you’re defending that, and people are going to treat an absence of further clarification accordingly.

pet photography could mean that the camera is your pet.

Both and are too kind for this kind of person

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

The German state and its supporters systemically are perpetuating far worse than racism.

People freak out that China spends a lot on the military even though it’s still a lot less than the US spends

Western political scientists explain this one as the idea that the ideal miilitary power to have is more than everyone else. By this logic, there is no amount that is ever “enough” military spending, and any gain in military power by any other country is a threat to yours.

Chinese here must mean “under the complete control of the People’s Republic of China at every step” (which may be more difficult than it sounds due to global supply chains and other factors). Taiwan, under Republic of China occupation, definitely doesn’t count (see the Hezbollah pager incident)
