Reeses Cups are the absolute worst candy these days. They are so terrible now, and I used to love them. The peanut filling is gross.

For reference: the 1% in the US owns 31.7%. Not as bad as Mexico, but still pretty terrible.

I boycotted the last two WCs. Sadly, I’m going to boycott this one as well.

While I don’t fault the Galaxy players for this, their owner is a Trumper who deserves to have the game forfeited.

No, I’m not incredibly biased against the Galaxy.

Hell, for all we know, Bill might have used his ties with Epstein to “force” leaders to accept the Good Friday Accords. Or Epstein might have used his knowledge of Bill’s proclivities to force Bill into a situation that helped one of his other powerful ties.

Holy shit, that website can kiss my ass. I hate when sites hijack the back button.

Also, this story shows he is either negligently stupid, intentionally covering up an accident that he thought might implicate him, or intentionally malicious. Some of the mistakes are pretty damning for someone who had made this climb 14 or 15 times. The timeline is suspicious, too. I have no idea if he did anything intentionally, but he certainly made many very bad mistakes that could together constitute criminal negligence in my head.

That is only if this is called a war. It can be called a million other things that Republicans say are not the same thing as war. They’ve done it before, and the Dems know they will do it again. This will be a series of targeted strikes that are not retaliated against by Iran in any way that actually hurts Congress-people. Vietnam War wasn’t even actually a war. Congress approved troop deployments one time, but that’s about it.

Additionally, Republicans have the majority in both houses. The only reason the shutdowns have occurred is because they needed more than a simple majority to get the budget passed. Declaration of War does not have any documented rules for whether it is simple majority or 2/3 vote or whatever. In the past, a simple majority was assumed since the votes were never close enough for it to matter.

Keep going. I’m almost there.

Sure, it took public release of documents they’ve known about for a decade to do anything about it. But at least THEY are doing something to someone in power.

No, this is poorly framed information. They don’t “require” on average 300% more fuel to run. The drivers choose to charge their cars 300% less often than manufactures suggest. This is skewed by rental and fleet cars whose users never charge the car, and by owners who treat their car as a normal hybrid instead of charging it. I was once given a plug-in hybrid van as a rental car but never told it was a PHEV. I didn’t figure it out until the next morning when I was walking up to it and saw the charging cover. My hotel didn’t have a charger, so I couldn’t really do anything about it; but if I were a normal person and not someone who has owned multiple EVs then I wouldn’t have even thought to charge it.

Also, the Porsche one makes total sense. The car is going to burn through battery charge and then hit the gas engine faster when, as expected, Porsche drivers drive them like a Porsche.

OK, let’s talk facts, since that is what you are using to justify your casual racism.

CA has a much larger population of Asian and Indian people than TX, with 17% Asian (including Indian) versus 6.4%. Based on your “factual” data, that would mean that CA should have more traffic accidents, right? Then why does TX have a 20% higher fatal accident rate than CA? Let’s say it is because they drive faster out there on the open roads than we do in crowded cities. Then why does TX have a 40% higher overall accident rate than CA? These are statistics adjusted by population, so it isn’t just because CA has a higher population. We drive in high traffic more often and should have more accidents. Yet we don’t.

OK, let’s just say TX is its own crazy ass world, since it is. Let’s look at Santa Clara County versus Los Angeles County. Both are high population cities with high Asian populations and mild weather. Santa Clara County is 43% Asian, while LA County is 16.4% Asian. Based on your “factual” analysis, we should expect a MUCH higher traffic accident rate in Santa Clara County. Then why does LA County have a 30% higher accident rate than Santa Clara County?

Look, it’s OK to be a little bit racist. We all are. Just recognize it and learn more about yourself and the world around you.

I did and laughed at it. Then I replied with actual facts to debunk your racist “facts.”

Yeah, that claim seems HIGHLY dubious.

No, the sentence is missing a comma. The incompetent driver part is the factual point of the observation. The casual mentioning of Asian and Indian is the racist part.

It’s good to check sources. I’m only finding second-hand reports of it, though she is in the Conservative party in Colombia. One site says she founded Latinas for Trump.

The hypothetical still allows 1400 sqft per person of that 1% of the world, neglecting any multilevel housing.

I’ve spent some time in Switzerland. There is a TON of space that is suitable for habitation that either isn’t used or is used for farming (necessarily). I remember traveling around thinking how empty it felt outside of cities. Even the cities didn’t feel crowded compared to other cities I’ve been to.

A) Your 1% hypothetical would be making the population 10x higher than now, so obviously they could not handle having the 1%. It’s a dumb hypothetical.

B) Assuming we go with your hypothetical, each person of that 80 million people in 16,000 sqmi would get 5600 sqft. My entire property, regardless of my house size, is not 5600 sqft. So I wouldn’t feel bad about that much space. Yeah, much of the mountainous areas are not habitable, but that’s why multilevel housing was developed. If we assume only 25% of their country is habitable, then that still gives each person of that 80 million person around 1400 sqft. That’s bigger than my 3br house! If we go multilevel housing, then you can still have a ton of space for people.

They still made a $1.9B profit. That’s $23k for all 81,000 employees. Even if profit went to zero in future years, they have enough revenue to pay employees plus a bonus each year from the profit of just this year.

What is your reasoning for thinking the company might shut down if it kept 6,000 jobs on staff? If those 6,000 people make an average of $100k, then this profit only drops down to $1.3B.

That was his heroic plan the whole time.

It’s honestly a remarkable accomplishment.
