Maybe if you’re white and want to move to one of those countries that has very lenient blood citizenship.

There are millions of other people trying to move to Europe right now who have both money and degrees, and if you’re not in that venn diagram then you’re likely SOL.

They always do shit on Fridays. If it’s to deliver good news, you give them the weekend to celebrate. If it’s to deliver bad news, the office is closed for the next two days and there’s nothing they can do about it.

Good luck to them, I guess.

The fact that the summary of intended changes listed below the statement seems to be directly copied out of Copilot says all it needs to say, IMO.

The profile pic you’re looking at is what was run through the AI upscaler, not necessarily what the user actually has.

I found a less blurry version of the screenshot and their profile pic doesn’t look AI generated, or remotely like what the AI upscaler produced.

So you can abbreviate it to abbr.

No

Was wondering what you meant by that until I zoomed it a bit on the picture and realized it’s literally written on the stairs.

Exactly. There needs to be a stick to accompany the carrot. But if the carrot is refused, then the stick does its job.

There is no legal framework in the US for the federal government to postpone or cancel state elections.

Until the Supreme Court decides there is one, using some obscure common law ruling from 1600’s Britain as precedent.

Trump’s base doesn’t care what happens to Iranians. But schoolgirls? They had high potential under the Little Epstein Island Achievers program, so naturally their loss carries more weight to Republicans.

I believe what they were suggesting above is that questioning Modi’s legitimacy is a CIA conspiracy, not that Modi works for the CIA. The post draws into question just how “democratic” India’s elections are, so that is perceived as playing into a CIA plot.

India is not “The West” and is also asserting its status as a world power that won’t simply fall in line behind the US (i.e. being a BRICS state and continuing to buy Russian oil)

So naturally it is somewhat supported by Tankies who prioritize only opposition to the West. Since the West is obviously the antithesis of socialism, it is assumed that no socialist power can succeed as long as the West survives. So anything contributing to the disenfranchisement of the West is advocated for, regardless of how genocidal and antithetical to socialism that opposition may be.

And by extension, any resistance to that process is obviously Western propaganda, since there is no other reason why anyone would ever question the legitimacy of a non-Western government (hence the suggestion that this is a CIA op).

(Not to say that the user above is an actual “Tankie” but it follows the line of thought I usually see used.)

Especially when the US economy is basically stacked in such a way that the military is promoted as the only reliable path out of poverty for many (which the state also artificially maintains).

There’s a pipeline of high school to military recruitments for grads who have been convinced by their embedded ROTC recruiters that they have no other options.

Y’aren’t don’t-ing like the best of 'em

If the US fell apart, I feel like the northeastern states would inevitably just coalesce into “Newer England” since they’re so ideologically and economically linked.

And then, hilariously, “Caesar” would come to be used as a title for monarchs for millennia to come.

Not even really a “Steve Jobs” quote, it was by a bunch of people in Apple’s marketing department for the “think different” ad campaign.

FWIW though, that would only make sense if the moon was on the horizon. If the moon is directly overhead or close enough, it’d still get mostly shaded.

If it was at like a 45° angle, though, the shadow would look pretty oblong if the earth was truly flat.

OP’s account exists only to post articles from this one source, I don’t think they’re a real person.

For any curious, basically “I” is to “Me” as “Thou” is to “Thee”.

English used to differentiate singular and plural 2nd person pronouns. “Thou” was the singular 2nd person, and “Ye” was the plural 2nd person (it seems backwards but I swear that’s how it originally was, e.g. the biblical phrase “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”)

“Thee” and “You” were the object versions for these pronouns:

“[I/Thou/We/Ye] give [me/thee/us/you].”

Like French (tu/vous), it became considered polite in English to address singular people using the plural 2nd person, to the extent that the singular version fell out of use entirely. And then on top of that, English stopped differentiating between subject/object forms of the pronoun, with “You” subsuming all 2nd person pronouns.

So the meme is using it wrong, because both would be “thou” as subjects, and that’s before you get into the fact that English at the time also used different verb endings depending on person and plurality.
