Kid taking my gmail address: how did they allow you to have a troll name for email address?

I was there when gmail was invented.

Depression, I would say. Same as how boomers are labeled as uncaring and sociopathic because of lead.

The pandemic worsened the already excessive individualist value of capitalism.

My first time seeing it.

No, but having enough money buys financial security to do what you want.

But he's white! How can he be an immigrant!

It happened before, it could and is happening again. The East India Trading Company was the most profitable company in the world after looting and conquering India for a while before the British government formally took over.

Just a nitpick, the fastest transportation for thousands of years were boats.

And this is the guy who the Anti-Defamation League defended with a waffle of a statement that his awkward gesture was "made in a moment of enthusiasm". Though I should not be surprised, because fascists actually hate each other and are only allies out of convenience. Hasbara and its tentacles are secretly seething to hate on Musk.

At least AI won't fire you.

Use them too often enough and it will cause hearing loss. It happened to my dad. The doctor said it is one of the side effects. I know other people who pop paracetamol unnecessarily when they feel slight pain or headache.

McNamara fallacy at its finest. They hear figures and potential savings and then jump into the hype without considering the context. It is the same when they heard of lean manufacturing or Toyota way. Companies thought it is cost saving rather than process improvement.

Nah. Russia will implode itself on its own even without resistance. As if Russia never learned anything that autocratic control over economy never works, because their political culture is too corrupt to function effectively.

Francis Fukuyama, as wrong as he was about the end of history, is still correct that dictatorships eventually collapse because they surround themselves with yes men who are too detached from reality. The invasion of Ukraine is the beginning of the end for Putin. It is only a matter of time.

If you think about it, organs that serve dual purpose for excretion and sex is disgusting. You're doing oral where pee also comes out. Most people don't think this is terrible because speciesm. We think possessing anus hanging over one's face is disgusting. But if snails could talk, they would say it is disgusting to have sex where your organs also just peed.

Also, these people will take paracetamol with no questions asked.

If I am the head of department of health, I would order a candid infomercial along the motif of "you wouldn't steal a car, you wouldn't pirate" but it goes "you don't question paracetamol. Why do you question vaccines?"

I was talking about this with a friend. The younger generations got screwed over because we have to evaluate what we value more, and give up one over the other to achieve one of the life goals. I managed to save for a house; but only because I lived with my parents for many years before moving out. I don't have a car and I haven't gone on foreign holidays in years. Meanwhile, my friend has travelled in so many countries but he doesn't have enough savings for a house. The boomer generation has been able to afford to live their life to the fullest with just a single household income, and didn't have to give up any or all of their life goals, values and desires.

The good news is that fascists eventually undermine themselves with poor policies. The bad news is that it will become worse before it gets better.

And yet my cousins want to move to the US. In my home country, US is put on pedestal for generations especially by local media. As in, people are brainwashed by American media.

Exactly. Like, what are TV suppose to teach? Don't fraternise with black people? Men should always be dominant over women? Empathy is bad? Christianity is the one and only true religion and Muslims should be deported?
