The notion that the West needs China more than vice versa is laughable. China is literally the biggest importer of Western goods and resources in the world including absolute dependence on American soybeans just to feed its population.

Myth Child forgives him.

Olives are delicious, olive oil is ghastly. What’s up with that?

Every night. Sometimes pleasant dreams, more often horrible nightmares. And I can’t get my dreams out of my head, I still can recall dreams I had as a kid or a dream I had last week. Today my dreams were tedious, laborious, I woke up feeling really tired and relieved that I don’t have to experience this shit anymore, glad for it to be over.

It’s futile, as you have zero idea when you’re going to die, every day could be your last man. I think what you’re doing is a good way to get some sort of anxiety disorder and I’d be happy to be wrong in this case as I wouldn’t wish that shit to anyone.

Currency is an energy equivalent in human society. I’d say our current ridiculously exploitable system with greedy for profit banks, rampant credits, tax havens, exchange rates manipulation, dividends and stock market micro trading leaves a lot to be desired, yet it is still incredibly convenient and relatively stable even with all the major crashes. Beats barter that’s for sure.

We are focused on it because life itself is based on burning energy to sustain itself. Any plant would be happy to get more nutrients and sunlight like every animal would gorge itself to get some of that fat on their bones. It doesn’t matter that it’s sometimes to the detriment too - it’s just wired that way in the DNA, because scarcity is way more common than abundance and if this balance crumbles then it’s just a matter of time before abundance turns to even more scarcity due to overgrowth/desertification/overpopulation.

Okroshka. It can be made with kefir, beer, kvass, plain water or a mix of those things.

Stupidity is a moral flaw, not an intellectual one.

Ace gigachad.

Billions of trees every year get cut down to make space for cattle pastures, now tell me how destroying entire ecosystems that have been there for potentially thousands of years is worth some particular meat.

China, Iran and Russia are way ahead of you in arming Palestinians.

There are plenty of fats and proteins you know.

No, only boomers watch Fox News, young people watch TikTok making it a way more potent weapon.

Formless by Gridlock made me an IDM convert.

Asexual BDSM is just consentual torture lol

I always thought peanuts were nuts and grew on trees. Oh how utterly, devastatingly naive I’ve been…

My favourite one is yet to come. Come on Putin die already.

I don’t even ride a bicycle while I’m on weed, it would be absolute madness to drive a car while high.

Iran bought into their own propaganda and thought they can actually do something this stupid and achieve any kind of success. LMAO at Iran. They should pray there wouldn’t be any severe repercussions and I don’t believe there wouldn’t, Israel and US have been waiting for a reason to cripple that totalitarian hellhole for years, it would even help Ukraine too as Iran is the best buddy of Russia these days.

What does it matter if it’s a sushi restaurant or a burger restaurant? If you think rolls are getting stale if you order a lot at once you’re absolutely in your right to stagger the orders imo. Looking at your post you have even more than one reason to do this. Even if it’s the chef who’s getting fussy about it he should suck it up and do his job, not argue with a paying customer. You’re just ordering food, and you’re going to pay for it, what should he care if it’s 10 orders of 1 plate or 1 order of 10 plates.
