Calling it now, it’s more likely the fed will be broken up and progressive states will join the EU.

Not saying it will happen. Just that it’s more likely than the US suddenly and comprehensively doing the right thing.

I pity any country that is slugged with buying food from the US. For a country obsessed with meat, they sure are bad at producing any worth a damn.

That’s so unexpected and weird, did the severed dead raccoon penis not help at all??

100% mate, we got drop bears and other venomous mammals. Shits crazy down here!

38 yo boy here. Can confirm.

You’re right it’s not a dictatorship like North Korea, but it’s elections are also not as clean and fair as other modern democracies.

The same ruling party has dominated since independence, and maintained structural imbalance suppressing the ability for any meaningful opposition to rise.

While leadership in Singapore isn’t hereditary, the nation has been guided by a very small political elite originating from Lee Kuan Yew.

Singapore loves to pretend it’s a modern country with it’s gardens and fancy buildings.

But beneath the surface is an overworked population ruled by a family dictatorship.

As an Australian I am horrified at this. What kind of city forbids public barbecue?

What’s next, forbidding public displays of joy?

As a gay man… lol.

Context: There is a long history of gay men using public toilets for… making new friends.

Where does the law stand there? No one knows.

Be even worse in a few years when the paltry votes they scrounged up with this move are long forgotten and the law continues to punish and hurt people for literally no justifiable reason.

It’s also illegal in Australia… but in practise the “appearance” of being underage is very dubious and destructive.

According to the law, all women with a certain breast size are pretending to be minors.

A kid died in Australia because a doctor botched the circumcision of a toddler and he went septic.

Barbaric cultural practise to do it to children, but I do think it’s fine if they medically need it or you are an adult and want it done.

Israel is worse than Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany lasted what a decade. Israel has been committing atrocities for 4+ decades now.

I’m shocked! Shocked I say!

Welll, not that shocked.

Pretty much, Essos is just Europe as well.

Since it’s just perlin noise anyway… They should use gag landmasses for fun. See if anyone recognises Middle Earth or the Seven Kingdoms.

Epstein’s Corinthian

They’re annoying until you need their eyes to make a portal network…

I heard they even had a special island where they liked to meet up. Allegedly.

Meanwhile the Chinese government have their own Linux variant Kylin which is developed as part of a national resilience and strategic initiative. It’s wild to me that in this day and age few governments will spend even $100,000 on open source expertise but they’ll throw billions at idiots like Microsoft because some politician was wined and dined by their sales people. If more people knew how broken the procurement system was and how their tax dollars were wasted on corporate welfare they would riot.
