Or grow out of it altogether. Plenty of much better alternatives.

I think you need to be American. It is funny how the Americans are busy explaining the drug to you, but failing to understand that it is the underlying premise that most non-Americans won’t get.

Of course it would have lasted long. It had lasted basically the entire existence of human populated India up until then.

Has their medicaid program been unaffected by the Trump cuts?

Canada is seeing benefits from it as well. So far Canada has seen a 13% increase in tourism in 2025 compared to 2024.

I was going to say Sid Meier’s Civilization, but both of them qualifies really.

He also bragged about them doing it on camera. So there is that.

They have always engaged in that sort of petty bullying of their neighbours. It is in reality Russia being in a state of constant “cold” warfare against them, but they know that their neighbours won’t respond. A couple of days ago a Russian warship wouldn’t move out of the way of a Danish ferry inside Danish territorial waters (even though ferry lanes are clearly marked as such), causing the ferry to last minute swerve.

Russia consider this psychological warfare, creating chaos and confusion. The country is a tumor on mankind, spreading its own shittiness everywhere it can.

“In fact this will be the greatest leap forward. A big beautiful leap!” and the hateful morons will cheer as he says it.

Apparently every time Nirvana is mentioned it equals suicide, and that is funny for some reason.

There are definitely varying degrees as to how far that phenomenon has taken hold, and it has done so to a much larger degree in the US than in a lot of other countries. There is not really any point in trying to relativise this, it is not “business as usual”, this is radicalisation on a 1930s Germany level.

Even if you love porn and grew up exposed to it as a kid, you gotta admit that there are psychological effects on avid adult viewers and more on minors.

No you don’t. That is right wing propaganda completely unfounded by science. That porn addiction nonsense so many Americans babble about is a product of that propaganda, and doesn’t actually exist.

That is not really something you can say with certainty. Products you buy can easily have had materials or services from the EU involved somewhere in the production chain, and regardless of how far out in that chain they are, those tariffs will fall on you to pay as the end product consumer.

That is not what they are saying. It is perfectly valid to say that there are zero contemporary primary sources to confirm the existence of Jesus. Historians have come to the consensus that he most likely existed, on account of the influence stemming from later sources, but they all also know there are no contemporary sources, so that consensus is based on circumstantial evidence.

The historicity of Paul is not robust, it is definitely better sourced than Jesus, but that historicity stems from himself, and as we cannot take his supernatural religous experiences for fact (he can very well have believed them as fact, but we know that they cannot have happened in objective reality like that), he is not exactly the most reliable witness in the first place.

I think Harry Potter is pretty shitty and uninteresting fiction. It is not really a constructive argument though, because it is entirely subjective. A lot of people thinks that Lovecraft wrote some great and interesting fiction, so I am not really sure what you are trying to say.

Also educated people tend to vocally disagree with fascists, so obviously fascists wants fewer of them around.

Considering the entire history of the US is one big upwards transfer of wealth, that is really saying something.
