Oh those too, but a Netflix subscription is still a better deal than buying tons of movies and shows. There’s literally no reason to be getting klarna hot dogs other than because you’re an idiot.

If that’s affecting you particularly, then you chose to buy a hot dog on a loan AND you failed to pay it off in time. Far cry from inflation and taxes which affect everyone.

Klarna and subscriptions are kinda voluntary though. Technically so is debt, but that’s… a difficult topic

Bottom right is P Diddy aka Puff Daddy aka Sean Combs. Known for, among other things: helping more talented musicians than himself make good music, dating J-Lo, playing in a Muppets movie, rape parties, domestic violence, guest appearance on Notorious B.I.G’s track Mo Money Mo Problems, potentially ordering the hit on 2pac’s life, being a general piece of shit with tons of connections and money. He was like the Hip-Hop world’s Epstein, though I don’t remember if the “performers” at the Diddy Parties were children or adult women, they were definitely getting raped though.

Like those two Americans are so bad that between these 4 people… I’d be most likely to trust bin Laden. In this very hypothetical scenario, because this is a shitpost and in reality if I can’t find a sitter and I get to choose between these 4, well guess what, I’m just cancelling my plans and staying home. Might be a tie between bin Laden and Hitler actually, we’re not Jewish, Roma or any other minority he tried exterminating.

I mean, depending on the location it would still work and the bag drop and run prank was making fun of islamophobes more than it was making fun of muslims.

There’s really not. The human ecological footprint changes enormously by region. Relatively small populations in countries like Qatar and Brunei punch well outside their weight class in terms of ecological devestation.

Yeah, uh, the oil produced by those small populations is used in places like China, Europe and Australia too. In fact they export most of their oil, so we all share that blame.

providing advice

They do, it’s called the republican party and conservative think tanks.

supporting children and parents

I mean other than your own family, why would you do that? Sounds like extra work when you want to be retired.

spreading their community’s history

That’s called Facebook, it exists. That’s where they spread their conservative politics.

You seem to think that old people would be interested in any of this. Most wouldn’t. They’re loaded, they can live like kings without being bothered by a bunch of young people. Why would anyone want to put in extra work when they don’t have to?

As long as it comes with a high healthspan AND people working longer, it shouldn’t be a problem.

If people have an extra few decades to live off young people’s productivity, that kinda screws the young people whose numbers are dwindling.

Well for one, I hope you don’t plan to take out any form of retirement or invest in the stock market, including via index funds, because that’s leeching off the productivity of young people in the future.

You do know that corporate profits are literally where old people get their money, right?

Take the posterchild of capitalism as an example, the US. People over 55 own 52% of all assets, from money to homes to companies. As a group they outweigh the billionaire class about 8 to 1 by wealth (and of course most billionaires are themselves also old). That’s how retirement investments work, you live off the backs of young people who work.

Get rid of capitalism, you just get a different way to route young people’s productivity to old people. Hell, get rid of currency and it doesn’t change. Everyone’s producing food and goods, but a large share of it goes to people who are old and no longer work. The larger the share of people not working, the larger the burden on the people not working.

Unless the population is constantly growing, retirement is a burden on young people regardless of economic system.

It’s because a bunch of African countries don’t have retirement or pensions the way most of the developed worlds do so you have to have kids of your own. In Europe, north America and many Asian countries, we want other people to make the kids that bring the future of the economy, because having kids is expensive and thanks to social safety nets, other people’s kids will end up taking care of you via taxes anyway.

Not really, unless Gen Z starts having a fuckload of babies soon. Because each generation will be progressively smaller if the fertility rates don’t rise.

It’s not a huge issue in the third world where your kids are your retirement plan anyway so they have a ton more children. In the developed world, we have pension systems and stuff so on an individual level, having kids is likely bad for you financially, you want other people to have kids so you don’t have to spend a bunch of money raising them, but their taxes pay for your retirement.

Your old people don’t really need any skills when they own most of the economy. People over 55 own 52% of everything in the US. And that’s how retirement works, whether you have a government as a middle man via taxes or the old people have their investments, they have to live off the backs of the young. The investments, after all, are mostly ownership of companies that the young people work for. Companies that do their best not to raise wages so the shareholders (boomers) can have a better retirement.

If people want to retire in their 60s, there needs to be growth happening all the time, until we’ve entirely gotten rid of the need for human labor.

At the loan part, you’re confusing inflation and deflation. You need higher interest rates to counterbalance inflation because money loses value. Loans during deflation make the loan giver get richer by default. But TAKING a loan during deflation is a shit deal because the value of what you’re paying back keeps increasing. Inflation, assuming that it comes with gradual raises in income (which it theoretically should, just not in the modern US), actually makes your loans cheaper to pay back over time.

It gets worse

The young donkey was bottle-raised, a domestic pet and part of the petting zoo who “never knew a stranger,” the Facebook post said.

This is a donkey who loved people and thought he’d found a new friend.

rar and winrar are from the same dude (Roshal ARchive, he named it after himself) and his brother handles the business side of things, been this way since the 90s. I THINK they’re still the owners of it. But these days, the company is registered in Germany and the legal representatives are actually some Turkish guys. I suspect it’s because they founded the company in Germany but live in Russia themselves and perhaps Germany requires legal representatives to be residents? Anyway the company’s been the main distributor since like 2002 so at the very least it’s still the same company it was 24 years ago.

If they’re being accused of defrauding banks… Maybe?

I haven’t played the older games much, but I can definitely tell you Vice City was woke, San Andreas was woke, IV was woke, V was woke.

I don’t understand why you’d want them to change now. Clearly the previous games were successful.

But like seriously, go back to the existing games. Listen to the radio stations, both the ads and the talk shows. Perhaps check out some missions’ plots.

They make fun of conservatives, cults and American society in general. They ALSO make fun of a lot of things and people that aren’t conservative, but the political right rightfully gets hit more.
