Of course it's silly.

It's also silly that people get upset at a bunch of Asian countries who still use the swastika. But a lot of people outside the cultures instantly think of Nazis.

Soil composition, access to water, temperature/seasons, mountains, salt water, etc.

It needs nutrients, water and heat, without access to that it just doesn't grow or spread fast, or at all. So it can't cross the deserts on its own. It can't grow above a certain sea level so it can't cross the mountains(Pandas regularly have to climb down the mountains to get more access to bamboo)., it can't use salt water, it can't grow if it gets too cold for long periods of time and so on. It's just fast growing in ideal enviroments.

The big horror stories in regards to gardning, isn't that it throws seeds around and just grows everywhere. It's that once one seed as taken root, it will start growing rhizomes. Which are similar to roots, except it's a stem that grows horizontally underground. And famously bamboo stems will grow through most things very quickly. So if you don't put up a proper root barrier, they will grow across the nearby lawns and start sprouting roots and and shoots. And from what I remember each shoot can grow more rhizomes, so you have to basically dig up the entire area or use strong plant killing agents and go without a plants in the area for a while.

With the way things are operating, I'm pretty sure you could get into the White House or Mar-a-Lago easily if a few people rolled up in a rented fancy towncar, suits, suitcase and someone to act as a translator.

I'm still shocked at how many seemingly tech-literate people use and defend Brave because of influencers.

They've partnered with Motorla and probably Samsung to have it pre-installed. And a lot of people stick to the default one.

There's a extreme likelyhood that he literally never thinks about his own mortality.

Summarized translation from political speak:

Stop interfering with out interference!

If history is anything to go by: Probably shortly after Canada is invaded and war is declared,

America has never cared about “democracy”.

The election system makes that blatantly obvious. First-past-the-post voting and a two party system is pretty anti-democratic in and of itself, and was derided by George Washington as a source for some of the great evils of history.

She's fully delusional, all the way on Trumps level.

She wanted to be trasurer, a judge, a laywer, talked about "integrity and honesty", etc. she also physically fights people, owed a bunch in tax liens, committed federal wire fraud of charity money, etc.

It's usually envy.

They've avoided enjoying things they consider "inapropriate"for their age, gender or some other social restriction and they take out their frustration on someone who doesn't cave to that pressure.

In other words: If a guy is at a bar and another guy mocks them for ordering a fruity drink, ask if they want to try one as well.

When you search for something that doesn't give tons of results with decent or above views, they keep injecting sections of 3 "other videos you might like". Which makes it really annoying to find something less popular.

It's frustrating, but to make it somewhat work you have to keep using the "Not interested" and "Don't recommend channel" options, and go into watch history and remove ones that you click on by mistake or find out you don't like while watching.

The different tiers are 50mb for basic and 500mb for the full.

The full one also includes:

• Stream video in 4k at 60fps
• 2 free boosts and 30% off all boosts
• Custom profile per server(different name, avatar, etc. for each of if you want)
• 200 server limit
• 4000 character message limit
• Custom entry sound(and custom sounds everywhere)
• 3x free nitro for two weeks that you can gift to people
• Tons of profile/avatar perks including animated banners, profiles, permanent quest rewards, badges, etc.
• There's also some discount in their shop.

Yeah, they also recently gave their censorship bot the ability to ban people. So if you type two bad words in one sentence, you're banned and need to explain yourself if you want the account back.

He doesn't leave the house without his waterproof makeup.

Having traveled abroad a bit, you start to realize how tunnel-visioned people stateside can get. Don’t even realize how much they/we are getting fleeced.

It's the classic of someone having to visit a doctor while in Europe. And they're always shocked at how cheap it is in comparison. Even people who know it's much cheaper tend to think it's like 50% , not 99-100% less. I had an emergency room visit with blood and urine testing, painkiller injection, private exam room, etc.. It took a few hours and was about $25 that you could pay at a machine on your way out.

For future reference, it's ducats.

Ducat was a "trade coin"(not usually a legal/single state currency) that started in the late 1200s Italy, and was still used by Austra in the early 1900s.

Yes, language matters and they used it correctly here. As an intransitive verb it means that someone is not detectable. As a transitive verb it means that someone else made them disappear, which usually refers to being abducted, usually by an official group like an arm of the government.

It has been used that way for decades to indicate when a governement kidnaps citizens to detain or kill them in secret.

didn’t even need the ‘house call’, now did it? just a fucking browser and some wifi. it was purely for intimidation.

Yeah, that's how facism operates. If you make everyone afraid of being "disappeared" for speaking up, most wont even try. And if no one is speaking up, no one is coordinating resistance and the average person think there is no chance of rising up.
