Memes are reposts! That’s their defining characteristic! They become memes by being reposted! If they didn’t get reposted, they would not be memes!

This is surprising to read. Ukraine was never going to have enough ammo, weapons, or manpower to win the war, but I never thought the western media would run out of cope.

Mashing the buttons over and over trying to get the high score.

Evergreen headline.

Ergolf Hitler

As the saying goes, philately will get you nowhere.

That’s the point. The US has effectively unlimited money, or let’s say unlimited liquidity, so their ability to repay is purely based on political issues. That they can’t get their shit together enough politically to avoid their own borrowing costs going up is extremely funny and embarrassing.

The US credit rating has fluctuated since 2011. At one point I think it was as low as A-. Regardless, the idea that it would ever be anything other than AAA is hilarious.

Despite its AA+ credit rating

People do not make fun of the US for having their credit rating downgraded nearly enough. Imagine being the wealthiest country in history with control over the most ubiquitous reserve currency on the planet and the credit rating agencies are like “it’s not that we don’t trust you, but we have standards to maintain.”

In philosophy, it’s called Pasta’s Wager.

“Living’ la vida loca” would translate roughly as “Ballin’ the crazy ball”, which sounds pretty fun, tbh

I tried opposing genocide but they threatened to put me in jail for antisemitism

It’s all great, but the tiny podcasting mic is clearly the icing on the cake

Ticket scalpers take way more risk, plus they don’t get sympathetic coverage on the news when they’re whining that people aren’t buying their tickets at a high enough markup. Also ticket scalpers aren’t withholding a fundamental necessity from people. Ticket scalpers work harder, too.

Really, ticket scalpers are just incorrigible scamps compared to landlords.

“Ma’am, please don’t sit on my snack tray.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sure you aren’t a Nazi, either.

But yeah, the Hitler and slavery apologia is also really bad and you should probably stop that if you’re not a Nazi.

Some may consider these statements to be (insert trendy prefix, here) phobic, but they are also factual

The first is subjective, the second is a counterfactual. By definition, neither can be factual statements.
