I refuse to believe that there isn't a secret containment plan that all nuclear powers are coerced into agreeing to that basically gives every other nuclear power the right to intervene and secure the nukes from paramilitaries and terrorists in the event of state collapse.

The only reason I would presume NK isn't in on it is because everyone's agreed by now that if they fall it's gonna be a race between China and South Korea for who can press a legitimate claim first.

If the executives could have just had less pay, yes, cutting someone off from their entire livelihood is theft. Especially if there wasn't even cause like criminal behavior or inexcusable misconduct.

And I think it's perfectly fair to just assume executives are lying about everything they say since *gestures wildly at all the everything since as far back as Smedly Butler.

Don't worry, if Kyiv's getting nuked, so are all the rest of us, so you'd have found out long before you had time to read about it! :D

More seriously, someone's really gotta figure out how to attack the nuclear arms specifically. Putin is making it obvious that the world will never be safe if there's even the remotest chance some lunatic could gain the ability to fire those things.

It would have to be the fastest military operation ever conducted in human history, but if it worked, it would save the world.

That's unlikely since they'd still be Japanese most likely

Nintendo's especially strict content creator and fan game creator practices stem from Japanese Copyright law encouraging IP owners to be waaaaaaaay more aggressive about protecting them than in most other IP markets.

Like I'm pretty sure the concept of fair use isn't legally recognized in Japan.

As a kid, CD documentaries about constellations and astronomy

Modern day, video essays about the lore of soulslikes and random media I've gotten sucked into

My point is that involving the gun makes it terrorism by the same principle of escalation.

It's not a robery, it's a near death experience where money might change hands.

Gun violence is gun violence. It is all attempted murder and terrorism. Fact that some people want money out of it is irrelevant, it is still terrorism.

If you pull a gun out you are not threatening, you have declared your intent to kill whatever it's pointing at.

It is not a defense tool, it is a "all other options are expired and now someone has to die" tool.

There is no motive for pointing your gun at someone except to shoot them.

No matter how much your dumbass might think you're just trynna scare them a bit.

It is the same. It is gun violence. It is terrorism without a cause.

I do actually mean that.

Rural Texans, there's a reason they picked those guys to be the crop that gave us leatherface.

My dad actually got greenbook tips because he was traveling in the 80s through rural texas and his supervisors realized he "looked visibly Irish"

That's not how GDP works

Edit to elaborate, GDP is calculated based on final goods and services, outsourced work exclusively counts towards the GDP of the country that work is done in, and only affects the GDP of another country when they buy what the first country made, but the outsourced work still happens in country A, so country A gets all the GDP created by selling finished goods, and all the GDP of the work done on unfinished products within their borders.

Basically, the US isn't sitting on everyone else's money, it just genuinely makes and sells that much shit

IIRC the ring mold donut pizzas were specifically for that meeting and what they were cut out from was what you'd usually get if you ordered that pizza

Point still stands that the caramalization is why you'll see really good deep dish pizzas and skillet pizzas stop building up the sides of the dough with enough space for the sauce to overflow a bit.

It cooks and brings out the sweetness, and then hardens into effectively being the rest of your crust

Of course if you're going traditional there's other routes to get other mixes of flavors but the sauce rim is something pretty specific to the pan made family.

Well it can certainly involve being a piece of shit

Part of it is that America just has an insane amount of resource richness even compared to historical empires of it's comparative influence.

Let me try to explain it in agricultural terms. America is a nation of immigrants, and yet a common phenomenon is an observed disconnect between what Americans consider local cuisine from a given country and what people from that country today consider average cuisine of their culture.

This is because those immigrants were the tired, the poor, the hungry masses yearning to be free. The cuisine they brought was the stuff people would make to subsist as peasants, notice how many different varieties of "take this basic grain as a filler then layer on bitsins and fixins to give it flavor and nutrition." Meanwhile in the home country, cuisine culture continued to be defined by the elites who had already been defining it. What's really interesting is that the cuisine brought by the poor, did not stay pauper meals.

This is because America as a country is so packed to the gills with farmable land that ingredients considered a rarity for sheer cost in "the old country" were abundant to the point of being cheap. American serving sizes are so big because they were pioneered by people who were thanking god that they could be that big. Chop Sui literally was just "whatever you can throw in the pot, serve it up!", tacos and sandwiches were invented basically to maximize the flavor and nutrition of expensive fresh ingredients on limited supply, Pizza has roots as the equivalent of a street pretzel in NYC.

Imagine if someone took the NYC pretzel, moved to a land of unheard-of plenty unseen by human eyes thus far, and decided to spice that pittily ass bread and salt with choice of topping by loading that shit with the most unimaginably luxurious ingredients they could conceive of because that shit is all cheap there. That's the story of Pizza. That's what happened to basically every peasant food culture that made contact with the US and its because American resource richness is just that unprecedented for anyone who isn't from America already to conceive of.

Stalin once stated that WWII was won with, "British Intelligence, American Steel, and Soviet Blood.", but America wasn't just a factory for the world, the American kitchen put into that war just as hard as the American foundry, arguably more, America's first casualties of the war were the merchant marines who faced U-Boats head on to run food aid to the British public and anywhere else they could slip past the Nazis.

We got so much shit we will literally give it to you for free sometimes

That is how 4% of the world population ends up sitting on 25% of its GDP

I feel like schemes like this warrant a law that you're failing your fiduciary duty as a company owner and can be sued by any of the stakeholders for it if you can't prove failure to at least break even is due to genuine misfortune. Not even gross incompetence, that should just get you sacked with a dunce cap on top of having the company broken off and sold to a bidder that isn't hellbent on stripping it for parts.

That or company owners are only allowed to draw funds from the company's profits and funds coming from anywhere else, including from layoffs and corner cutting, are seized at 150% the value stolen and the company owners involved get treated as though they had committed embezzling so long as the books can indicate that the executives and owners drew more in compensation than was recorded as profit.

How good would recycled paper hold up as a plastic alternative?

Because right now plastic is running ads about "trust us guys we'll crack this soon we promise!"

I disagree with the Great John Stewart's maxim on the subject, but I will say that Deep Dish is definitely there to satisfy a different taste than traditional pizza makes.

Just watch Food Theory's perfect burger video, stack order matters! And the ideal crust can stand up to the sauce beginning to soak it a little so don't try to say that it's to put a wall between the crust and the sauce. The Bear had it right, you wanna be doing that kinda jazz because you're looking to get caramelized sauce crust to get a crunchy sweet rim on the whole deal.

I have no mouth yet I must scream

Having watched that one clip of amphibia where Polly claims to have learned fluent Thai by watching rom coms, Thai sounds VERY different from Mandarin.

That being said, I think even this guy is being a bit naïve, the racists aren't mad you're speaking an Asian language, they aren't busting out a phrase book to check and make sure those tones are Punjabi and not Tibetan or whatever. They're mad you're speaking any language they can't understand at all. Why?

Because every last one of these redcaps has an incurable complex surrounding being incensed by the idea of having a fast one pulled on them or their property or their beliefs. They're dead against emergency exemptions for abortion bans and even treating women who miscarry more sympathetically than "with complete and absolute contempt" because they're living in a nightmarish hellscape where literally every woman is already plotting to use those claims to sneak an "unneeded" abortion past them.

They don't see speaking a different language as you just talking, they see it as you talking shit about them because the world revolves around them and why else would you "go out of your way" to avoid them being able to eeves drop overhear if you're saying something untoward? I could be speaking french with my teacher over a culture lesson and these people would only skip the racism to instead accuse me of spying on them and talking shit in front of their faces to rub in that they can't understand what I'm saying.

No really, what makes them different, what's the obvious difference between the kind of person you picture robbing a store and the kind you picture committing a mass shooting?

Be bold, tell everyone the difference. Explain to us this essential difference that makes it so important that we segregate mass shootings from all other forms of gun violence as somehow a special sort of case?

What makes those people different?
