So that’s the value at current prices? What happens when the price crashes due to the addition of this deposit to the pool?

Even the good ones after all that’s happened in the past decade.

All the religious wingnuts will hop all over:

• .god
• .truth
• .holy
  …etc., etc.

I say milk 'em for all they’re worth. They grift plenty enough, so I’ve got no problem turning the tables.

But those who pay attention know which is the truth, while yelling “lies” seems to work on the clueless - seems win-win to me.

And the only cost was the USA itself.

How about we just go back to “lies” so the simple-minded folks who always fall for that crap can have a chance of “getting it” for once?

Mayday, Jeeves! Mayday!

I honestly didn’t know it was still around. Wonder how it compared against the sludge that is now Google’s crapified results. Guess I’ll never know.

Wonder if this will work on the innumerable obvious covers of popular songs by no-name bands which get listed as being from the original artists. Probably not, which is why I stopped using Spotify even before so many of their other shitty moves.

I just did some searching, and cannot confirm what I thought was true. I’ve no idea where I picked it up because I’ve thought that was the case for decades now. Man, do I feel clueless. Sorry for the confusion. TIL.

It’s my understanding that Zed is used in England and possibly Australia for zero. I never knew Canadians used the word at all - let alone for a different meaning - until now.

American here who always thought “Zed” was used for zero. Now I’m wondering if I ever made an ass of myself misinterpreting someone.

Darn. From the title, I was expecting birds.

It’s probably a more common occurrence than we know. If the issue at hand is not the focus of the institution, then they might just want to push it off on someone else.

Here in America, I knew someone who was suicidal once & they were taken by police to a local hospital for psychiatric care. They didn’t do drugs or alcohol, so the psych ward didn’t know what to do with them. After being confined for three days, they were sent home with no treatment whatsoever - the three days only happened because it happened on a Friday & there was nobody of any authority around on a weekend to decide what to do.

Competition.

I thought that was more an ADHD thing,. Maybe I should get myself checked for autism, too.

What? They’re “pee nuts,” right?

If the peanuts are too crunchy, just use your dad’s or Grandpa’s genitals - they don’t need them anymore, right?

Of course the cops keep using it - payments from the inevitable lawsuits don’t come out of their pockets, so why give a shit when there are quotas to make? No accountability breeds irresponsibility.

Thank you for the explanation because while Google translate does the job it’s intended to, it doesn’t help with context. I was confused at first because I thought religion was frowned upon (to put it politely) in China. (I frown upon it, too, but I’m not a proponent of how it often gets handled over there, either.)

Yeah, the latter half of my life as an American has been frustrating AF because I’m finally at the point where I get what’s actually going on, and it’s just been an ever-deepening pile of shit that frustrates & embarrasses TF out of me.

Great. We absolutely need more fear and loathing of our neighbors in the world. When the fuck will everybody catch on to this manipulative bullshit?
