It gives me flashbacks to his first term, many mooches ago.

He's going to play the Apprentice role again, in which he tries to increase tv ratings by randomly hiring and firing as many people as possible in every episode.

Just lick it off.

There are alternatives for the people who make money off the YouTube.

The Youtubers who do get paid enough to make a living from YouTube also make production quality content and have great gear and staff. They might as well sell their production to any other streaming service.

Something like Veritasium might as well be on Netflix as YouTube. Mr.Beast would fit in on Mtv..

If it's any consolation, at least Trump can only ever become a short term dictator, because he's old.

I doubt even the MAGAs would support Vance or any other republican trying to maintain a dictatorship. The entire GOP will crumble in infighting when Trump is gone and probably even beforehand.

I think the price is alright, if you like it as it is. It appears to be well maintained, however it will require a major overhaul to make work with any other kind of interior. It might be costly to heat and it would cost a lot to update the windows and heating system.

It's located close to a large road, the cargo railway, the harbour and industrial areas. The area is build very densely, with neighbors behind every wall. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a very noisy place, but it's definitely not blissfully quiet.

For the right person, it may be cheap, but it's not exactly what the majority of house buyers are looking for.

I love the idea of having the library double as a stage for the dining room.

At what point do content creators stop creating content for this?

I mean... it's been more than 24 hours by now, hasn't it?

Try lifting the pillows.

The southern archipelago looks like a Minecraft biome. Completely void of people and with just island after island it appears as if it would be fun to explore. It's probably too cold to enjoy though.

We had one new guy getting fired for "refusing to talk to people who don't have a university degree".

This will mainly hurt the American industries. The rest of the world is moving on, whether or not USA is on board.

I'm thinking worldwide. George Bush paved the way for a lot of populistic right wing politicians in other countries, showing that reckless incompetence is fine as long as you put on a suit and pretend to know something about economy.

He then dragged the entire ensemble of headnodding clowns into a war in Iraq on a false premise. Yes, Saddam was an asshole and needed to go, but he did not have chemical weapons. The entire war was about taking full control of oil, that Bush's croonies had planned long beforehand.

Then there was a little financial crisis called "the great recession" in 2007 and onwards, and of course history has a tendency to point backwards, but I think it's fair to say that the complete lack of oversight of the financial institutions was the main cause. The cause of this crisis was G. Bush Junior and all the other conservative government leaders in suits claiming to be "fiscally responsible". If only they had been "financially conservative" that would've better, but they didn't even attempt. It was pretty much as irresponsible as it gets.

I don't think Trump or the USA as a whole can litteraly destroy the environment, because they're not that many, 300m people of 8 billion worldwide, and I also don't think Trump will initiate any wars directly, but they'll do nothing to stop the existing wars, and we will see a worldwide financial crisis as soon as the next budget doesn't get approved or earlier.

This election has the same dreadful feeling as 2000.

Nevermind the crazyness, it's the certainty that something worldwide bad is going to happen due to the incompetence of the American government.

It's detachable in my fridge.

I use the egg holder on the door shelf for small bottles that would otherwise fall over when the door is opened. Medicine or nail polish, that sort of thing.

I also the egg holder to .. hold the eggs .. after they're boiled, so I can fill the egg cooker instead of boiling just a few at a time. I use cold boiled eggs for sandwiches or salats.

I do not use it for holding raw eggs as those already come in an egg shaped carton.

Maybe Biden could pack the Supreme Court before leaving office.

It wouldn't be a great idea in the long run, but it'd potentially stop the entire system from functioning right now.

Sacré bleu !

He has never wanted to do the job as president. Not last time, not this time.

I think this is actually still an issue. On PCs the space bar + up + left arrow keys conflicts on some keyboards. Try it: open Notepad, press two arrow keys and then space. Most of them works but if you hold up and left, it will not make a space.

This is annoying in racing games, when you want to accelerate, turn left and use the hand brake at the same time.

not sure what a ceremonial rich dude could have done.

This is the kind of situation in which a king (or president) can make a difference.

Royalty don't have any direct power to order people to do things, but they do have a voice with quite a broad reach. Whenever the king speaks, people will hear it. Even if they don't care about the king.

In a time where people are getting their information from sources curated to fit their own political bubble or economical interests, it's quite powerful to be able to reach a whole country across political and economic interests.

Royalties can't dictate, but they can encourage and motivate people to work together on a common goal despite of their differences.

When something is seriously threatening the country, it would be nice if the king would bother making a motivational speech, so that people, companies and politicians could see the purpose of uniting against the common threat.

It might not sway the opinions of people or companies who have strong interests in not doing anything differently, but it will boost the morale of people trying to do their best, enabling them to rest assured that they're doing the right thing despite of what others might do. We could say it's a really vague forn of long term meta-politics, but sometimes that's also all that is needed to set a direction.

It's not political as such, but more like "yo let's save this sinking ship" instead of passivily watching it happen. It won't fix anything by itself, but it's a good start. Without a good start and set direction, you can be sure that nothing will ever change.
