What recession? Americans are splurging on experiences like there's no tomorrow

Jump

  • I am pretty much currently buying shit that would allow me to live through a period of unemployment or crisis very comfortably.

    • Chinese child suicide rates jumping ten percent annually since 2010

    Jump

  • Okay but chill out a bit, dude.

    It's just a news article and it is worrying, even if the US is worse.

    • No, I would like your multimillion dollar employer to, though...

    Jump

  • So, then, exactly what happened?

    • Poland may seek extradition of Ukrainian Nazi WW2 veteran Hunka from Canada

    Jump

  • It seems India was right about Canada harboring terrorists.

    • Morality

    Jump

  • Well, this one seems to be going over better than your last philosophy meme.

    I appreciated both of them, by the way.

    • Adam Britton: British croc expert admits sexually abusing dogs

    Jump

  • I feel like using the word "people" here is too broad.

    • Top Trump aide burned so many papers wife noticed ‘bonfire’ smell, book says

    Jump

  • She was overreacting. It can't cost that much to dry clean a few suits.

    • The U.S. Government’s Database of Immigrant DNA Has Hit Scary, Astronomical Proportions

    Jump

  • As that quotation said, it mostly affects innocent immigrants getting implicated in crimes they weren't even involved in.

    And most immigrant detainees are people of color:

    This expanded DNA collection worsens racial disparities in the criminal justice system, as it disproportionately affects communities of color. Black and Latino men are already overrepresented in DNA databases, and adding nearly a million new profiles of immigrant detainees, mostly people of color, will further skew the existing 21 million profiles in CODIS.

    Jump

  • Studies suggest that increasing DNA database profiles does not significantly improve crime-solving rates, with the number of crime-scene samples being more relevant. Additionally, inclusion in a DNA database increases the risk of innocent individuals being implicated in crimes. This expanded DNA collection worsens racial disparities in the criminal justice system, as it disproportionately affects communities of color.

    I, frankly, am shocked.

    • Is Consciousness Part of the Fabric of the Universe?

    Jump

  • Ironic that they say they believe a concept from a show more than any human religion, but it turns out to just be a rehashed belief from one of the most ancient human religions.

    • A Russian reserve army of 15,000 soldiers is pinned down near Bakhmut and will be destroyed, says Ukraine's spy chief

    Jump

  • Why are the Russians so desperate for Bakhmut? Just to have a win? This feels like very Verdun or Stalingrad.

    I don't know about Bakhmut, but holding Stalingrad had a great strategic importance. The Soviets and Nazis didn't commit so many forces there just to hold an arbitrary village. It feels weird that you mention it as if there was no real point to it.

    • Leader of Canada's House of Commons apologizes for honoring man who fought for Nazis

    Jump

  • Wonder how the libs who were apologizing for this guy and his SS unit will spin this one.

    • Is an expensive mattress worth the money?

    Jump

  • I get that. I need that sometimes, too.

    Most of the films I own and like are depressing as shit so I don't even know why I reacted like that. Haha

    • Non political memes are the best

    Jump

  • They really thought they outsmarted Foot on that one.

    • Texas teacher fired for showing Anne Frank graphic novel to eighth-graders

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm absolutely not perplexed by American fascism in the slightest.

    • This is what AI think of us

    Jump

  • I mean, I hate right-wingers and Republican protestors because they want fascism but Democrat protestors are pretty lame and this is an accurate depiction of their direct action.

    Also, is no one going to point out the crying Dem looks identical to the profile picture of the woman who posted the t*eet?

    • The soda and fries won't taste like this again

    Jump

  • Not with that attitude.

    • Former Donald Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson alleges Rudy Giuliani groped her before Capitol attack

    Jump

  • "I said 'coup them', not 'cup them', Rudy."

    —Trump, probably

    • They started searching for port locations

    Jump

  • Yeah, that makes total sense. I actually never knew why anyone used work-provided devices if they could theoretically do all or most of the same work on a safer personal device. Now I realize why that might be. Thanks!

    • The soda and fries won't taste like this again

    Jump

  • Well, that was already at the end of the 90's, no?
