The subs aren’t for defending the Australian coastline they’re to contain China to the South China Sea.

Which is stupid anyway because it’s a very shallow sea and subs are ineffective there. But that’s the strategy chosen by the US.

Roof or bunk bed?

Got my brother off the bunk bed but mum caught us before he could try roof.

They think farmland in higher latitudes will be more productive.

Now you can think about why they want Canada so badly.

You mean a common user experience that leaves many new users frustrated.

The Sentinelese people are not known to practice cannibalism, or flaying.

Your comment doesn’t make the American idiot look worse. It makes the Sentinelese sound awful.

One previous idiot was killed by unknown means, likely an arrow or spear then this happened.

The fishermen later saw the islanders dragging Chau's body and the next day they saw his body being buried on the shore

He works with software so it’s probably because it occasionally snows where he lives and his micropenis.

That video is of salt water crocodiles. They’re a fair bit more aggressive than Alligators.

They can travel easily for work trips and meetings.

So can women in countries where personal transport is available and being raped isn’t as likely.

Don’t mention which President that occurred under…

No you described the exact same core business model, and then complained about other tactics.

That you don't comprehend business models is very unsurprising given you don't understand how comment chains work.

What are you even doing, man?

Quoting you.

That’s a quote from four posts ago.

Yes that's how comment chains work.

Out of context, at that.

It is perfectly in context as you're describing the Gamestop business model in that quote.

where they’re self-dealing by selling the games at full price, re-purchasing them for pennies and then reselling them for near-full price again.

Replace games with books in that sentence, that you typed, and tell me what the difference is. I will wait.

As I’m telling the other person with selective amnesia

Pointing out that you managed to precisely describe the used bookstore business model and unilateraly declare it wasn't the same isn't amnesia, it is having reading comprehension.

Gamestop and its contemporaries scamming little kids out of their videogame money by paying them next to nothing for games, reselling them at a huge markup and giving exactly nothing back to the people who made the games.

Bookstores apparently scam readers when they buy books off of people and sell them to other people at a markup, and don't pay the publisher or author a cent.

It is literally the same business model.

You’ve described the business model of used book stores.

I don’t see anything inherently wrong with that model.

It’s always interested me that I don’t experience this.

Can confirm this is normal in Aus, Ive regularly been asked how much I paid for the house as well, which I have no problem answering.

I’ve seen what happens when one flies into a persons ear canal and gets stuck.

And people wonder why the only bugs that freak me out are cockroaches.

Not to mention that he’s setting up a child to be indoctrinated their whole life.

Yes, that’s how computers work. Like all other depreciating assets.
