This is actually a very real issue that is fucking me over hard now. For context, I’m a naturalized trans immigrant who fled the US. Unfortunately, my US passport is set to expire really soon and I am effectively unable to renew it. The US has been deliberately holding on to trans people’s passports by effectively dropping us into bureaucratic limbo as a way to deny us freedom of movement. It’s not even worth trying to renew for me since at best (if I’m lucky) I’d have a passport that misrepresents me, and at worst I’d be effectively stateless. The cruety is the point

Thankfully my OG birth country is coming in clutch right now. The consulate has been helping me get my non-US papers in order

A socialist society lacks private ownership of the means of production (the things that make society functional), the opposite being social ownership. You can still start a business and make money, but wealth is shared among the workers rather than being hoarded by a single private entity at the top (think co-op)

A communist society is much stricter, lacking private property and social classes. The state owns everything and allocates it based on need

Just for comparison, a capitalist society like the one we (unfortunately) live in is a rat race. Wealth goes to whoever can exploit the system the most, which is usually whoever has the most money to start. It is the Ultimate Deathmatch of society.

It’s always exactly who you expect

I hate having to deal with the canisters but the spicy water definitely makes my partner and I both happier (no syrups/sugars) as well. I got my sodastream used for around $25 so the most expensive part for me were the canisters.

I’d love to one day hook it up to a bigger CO2 tank but I need a place with a bigger kitchen first

Water tastes better with a few grains of salt or a slice of lemon in it (it’s got what plants crave)

It’s always “politics” or “opinions” with people who know the views they support are absolutely heinous

If it’s not greasy it’s 50% sugar

Hes literally just playing the stock market

Out of curiosity, how much did y’all learn about the war of 1812 (US only)? I vaguely remember it was like a single page in a textbook for me. And I lived in fuckin NY

I eventually moved to Canada and learned why we weren’t taught about it

Redefining a psychopathic trait as “being successful” is truly a boot to lick

Because no one ever believes them (women victims)

Obviously they’re all just hardcore fans of South Asian mythology /s

Chili didn’t even have meat to begin with, hence chili con carne. Black beans are in the original version

I recommend adding garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and squash as well

He genuinely thinks the US already “won” the war. That’s like crowing about how much of a grand master you are while your King is being checked from three different angles

And why was this war started, again?

Renewable energy would remedy much of this situation, but some CEOs somewhere might not be able to afford a fifth superyacht

Slopaganda is a gorgeous term. I hate it.

And that’s not because the lower classes of rich countries are growing. That’s because musk is so disgustingly wealthy it affects world averages

The Phantom Menace makes more sense than this

Why is Houston “hew-stown” while Houston is “house-ton”
