US riots will always be localized or at least treated as such by the media, and thus isolated from the rest of the country. It’ll just be more city riots that further divide both sides, giving one justification for cracking down on the other

As in, it is perpetually 4:20 PM on the moon?

We do! Ants have been involved in millions of experiments, and that is how we know so much of their society and entomology. We CAN communicate with them using pheromones and food sources. It’s actually quite simple, really. They just don’t have much to say beyond what we observe. It’s not like we suddenly start seeing unique chemical trails so they can communicate with their overlords, so I suppose they don’t perceive us as other beings in the world.

No but we can estimate the total age before cosmic inflation renders the universe cold and so far spread out so as to be considered “dead”

That timeline is around 10^27 years, of which we only right now have been around for about 10^9. So we are VERY young compared to the max age. On the cosmological timescale, we are still “being born”

Oh yeah, filled up dump trucks of it. Every year in the fall my grandfather would order a ton (probably more like 10 tons) of coal and it was up to all of us to shovel it out and divide for everyone to use and share

This is what happens right before the major money holders abandon ship. There’s no way they don’t know this is business-suicide. I bet they got a big payday from some companies that paid Glassdoor to shoot itself in the face!

YouTube did it when Google bought them and changed everyone’s unique username to their Google account (real) name

But how is my money supposed to trickle down to me if it’s not in the hands of the few? :( now I just have all this money… and affordable inhalers!

I’ve been watching this game from the sidelines for like 10 years.

See you all in another 10.

As someone working for a small business owner, I sure as fuck wish the economy would boom so my wage could go up as well. We just don’t have any customers with expendable income, and our products are on a “wanted not needed” priority. If I had the capital to start my own, more successful, business, I would.

As someone from Central Pennsylvania with only 300 total students from K-12th grade, we are simultaneously drowning and shooting ourselves in the foot with the local R’s we put on school boards

Wait a second… That’s MY ip!

By their own definition, anything that happens DOES happen through God, so IVF and scientific breakthroughs should shed even more beauty on God. But… no, they spit in the face of science. I’m pretty sure God would be the biggest space/science nerd in any room.

By law, no. In effect, yes. Putin has very little stopgaps in his power, very few who can bring up bureaucracy and regulations to slow down his power train.

The article shows that the lists are made via birth date, not chronological age

Kinda like how I was let into Kindergarten (5+) at age 4, though we didn’t have any old-lady races :(

Five years should be enough time for a bullet to find Putin. If not, just start a couple fights and hope they let you stay longer

They’ve got some real Bert and Ernie energy here. What a lovely couple 🥹

If you’re on the side of black market drugs and oppressive violence, it is very effective at farming those negative qualities in a society.

At $20 a pop, with some nicotine addicted habits of buying a new one every other day, that’s over $3,500 a year for just one customer.

Nope, any vape stuff I sell is now only cannabis CBD/THC related. No nicotine, no flavored nothingness, everything must be purchased by 21+ years of age. (Pennsylvania). Those box vape mod kits and vape juice shit take up so much shelf space that I can’t justify trying to compete with all the other stores that DO sell that stuff. I stay in my lane and offer the best deals on what I know.

So it just boils down to those products being on a shelf don’t make as much money as THC vape products on the same shelf. So much less, that I probably would have to downsize other inventories
