Thank you for your service.

Yeah I suspect our media and it’s ubiquity around the world is why so many foreigners are Ameriboos despite stories like the OP posted.

To be fair you have to have a high IQ to enjoy Rick and Morty etc etc…

Good slow cooker beans and rice recipe here: https://coopcancook.com/creamy-crock-pot-red-beans-recipe/

Has anyone in here posted the “I have over 300 confirmed kills” copy pasta yet?

For one, they’ll fight tooth and nail not replace things. When there is absolutely no way that heater can be patched up and run a little longer they’ll replace it with the cheapest heater possible using the cheapest HVAC guy possible.

When buying a house people tell you to make sure the roof is in good condition because that’ll be expensive to replace. What they don’t tell you is that is all the other things that you may need to replace and how expensive they are. Fence, paint, siding, water heater, washer/dryer, AC, heater, kitchen appliances, etc. Some this might show up in the inspection report, but it’s hard to get a good idea of what it’ll cost beforehand. Also your realtor will have an incentive to downplay any problems to get the deal done.

It’s like how in the states the people most afraid of minorities are the suburbanites who never see them anyway.

It’s pretty funny but also left me with a really creepy bad taste of Bill Maher.

Hey, I laughed.

Yes and no. Less lonely than living by yourself and you can cook in bulk, but also you get sick of your family after living with them for a while. Also if you’re cramming 3 generation into a 3 bedroom because of financial constraints that’s pretty rough.

Has anyone listened to the Bill Maher episode of Shoeless in South Dakota?

I have a friend from China who’s a lib and he’s probably one of the most racist people I know (specifically against Chinese people). Just the other day he said Chinese people have never invented anything and that good inventions can only come from the US or Europe. He also wants to look, sound, and dress like an Ivy-league country club dude. Dude regularly reminds me of a Chinese Uncle Ruckus. Is that kind of self-hating common or is it mostly because he’s from a rich family?

He made a career convincing investors to buy into his biotech startup. Insincere bullshitting is the name of the game there.

Have to keep the profits increasing every quarter, otherwise shareholders will sell and buy your competitors and line go down. The article talks a little about how a lot of the streaming platforms have raised prices this year since right now shareholders want to see more profit instead of growth with interest rates up.

I thought this was a facetious comment, but you’re right https://www.nytimes.com/1981/07/26/arts/will-cable-tv-be-invaded-by-commercials.html
