Let’s just send him here to South Africa to really sell the experience. Drop him off somewhere, it’ll be great!

Heh. Teeth.

“If I haven’t already come across it, it doesn’t exist, because I am aware of everything that is reported on” right?

Prisoners, soldiers… The options are endless!

Yeah man, they’re totally identical. No difference between them at all. Nope.

He was trained to do that. It’s his job. Your sympathy is severely misplaced.

Feels important to say that statutory rape cannot be consensual

No I think he said they would straight up shoot people crossing the border, but unfortunately the Biden administration would charge them with murder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that’s because it’s glorified autocorrect

Legit question from a non-American - are Repubs really likely to vote for a woman for president?

Thank you both for the interesting discussion!

There’s just… so much to unpack here.

Maybe we just throw the whole damn suitcase away.

Abandoned by the world?! Are you completely removed from reality?

Thank you for the correction

Thank you for the correction!

This is a really interesting article on lightbulbs, which have a pretty conspiratorial past: https://interestingengineering.com/science/everlasting-lightbulbs-exist-ed

Did you know that a secret meeting was held in Geneva in 1924 between lightbulb manufacturers that lead to the formation of the ‘Pheobus Cartel’?

"The main objective of this cartel was to agree to control the supply of light bulbs. Each understood that if any one of them managed to develop a long-lasting light bulb, the need for replacement bulbs would likely dry up.

Bulbs were lasting too long. Not ideal from their point of view.

So, to combat this, all members of the cartel agreed to reduce the lifespan of bulbs on purpose. Initially, this was set to no more than 1,000 hours!"

The longest-lasting lightbulb was first turned on it 1901 and is still shining.

EDIT: Seems this is a myth, see replies for more information!

All you need is a computer science degree and a dream, little buddy.

I mean, facial hair growth is literally a sign of sexual maturity in men, but you'd be hard-pressed to convince anyone that beards are sexual.

The purpose of breasts is to feed babies; they're not inherently sexual in that way. That society has labelled them as such is different and very real, but it's harmful to declare breasts as inherently sexual just because of that.

To be clear this is just semantics; Bobo is clearly in the wrong here.

Thank you so much for these running summaries, they genuinely make the whole situation actually followable for a non-American <3
