So kind of the Saudis to purchase so much hardware for Ansarallah
The nearly indigent “free lunch fiend” was a recognized social type. An 1872 New York Times story about “loafers and free-lunch men” who “toil not, neither do they spin, yet they ‘get along’”, visiting saloons, trying to bum drinks from strangers: "Should this inexplicable lunch-fiend not happen to be called to drink, he devours whatever he can, and, while the bartender is occupied, tries to escape unnoticed.

Something finally happened that isn’t dogshit


Wait I thought Irans army was totally destroyed???


Yep, don’t let them fool you they all own 50+ acres of land and a couple potato cellars and lease it out, and then run small a small farm on their home property. They hire Mexican and Central American immigrants under the table while also calling for ICE to deport non-citizens. It’s not hypocritical, keeping it illegal and under the table allows them to underpay them, skirt regulations and hold leverage over them to get them deported if there is any dispute over wage theft or unionization or anything like that.
They won’t admit this outright. They will instead act like they are giving charity by providing jobs to these poor oppressed folks, and they just want them to come through legally and follow the rules. A fake narrative that makes them the good guy, as always.
Then they collect subsidies to burn corn or have it converted to ethanol that we dump into all the gas, effectively just burning it since this is net energy negative.
It’s the perfect position for them, everything in the world is catered to them. They are the most spoiled class of people in human history and yet they tell this story of themselves as brave, persecuted, hard-working, etc. They are overwhelmingly uneducated and ignorant as a class as well, holding reactionary crank beliefs and homeschooling and/or religiously indoctrinating their isolated kids who grow up on a farm with no other context than this fake coddled upbringing.


Nobody thinks this is a wise investment long term. Everyone thinks they are the saavy high info early trader who will scam the others (who also all think the same thing).
The winners of the zero-sum exchange brag about it and post a bunch of media and propaganda to push the next one. The losers are quiet in their shame. To the outside, all any of these crypto bros see is dudes getting rich and a couple whining losers who they can ignore.
You also have to be vegan or else this is much more wasteful than normal since those calories come from extremely ineffecient meat


Wouldn’t be surprised if they had hooked up the patriots to an LLM

heracross, forretress, scizor, beedrill-mega, ninjask, buzzwole, araquanid have all seen OU tier in various gens if you’re talking about competitively
they are an underrepresented typing, mostly due to their defensive weakness (with the exception of bug/steel, but then you have 4x weak fire). It is a very good offensive typing though, and many bug-type moves are very common throughout almost all gens. In Gen 3 OU, Hidden Power is most commonly Bug type or Flying type on physical attackers since there aren’t enough good moves of those typings until later gens (4x effective against celebi and breloom, relevant for dugtrio-trapping and coverage as celebi shrugs off all other common physical types like rock, fighting, ground).


chekov’s rack lmao, great way of putting it. Now that you mention it, all the big breasted women in media tend to be love interests or fanservice/eye candy for the audience (with lingering male gaze, etc). You don’t really ever just see it as an incidental attribute that happens to coexist with a complex antagonist or protagonist that is not lingered on or remarked upon, it’s always core to their “purpose” in the media


new spiderman movie is one of the top grossing films of all time.


minivans are a dying breed


I guess any people or trade traveling from most of Russia/USSR would arrive via train since basically nobody lives in the far East of Russia relative to the West. I get why there wasn’t a huge need for it, but it seems like you would want to have one or two road bridge connections with your military ally.


I mean before the fall. There was 43 years of time to build a single road bridge between 1948 and 1991. It seems incredibly odd that they did not given how much military cooperation and technology transfers occurred.


they think it’s purely because we have big brains and high IQs, which certainly has no relation to the huge part of our brain dedicated to social functions, empathy and language


weren’t the USSR and DPRK very close? How did this not exist already?


A huge increase in literary quality and depth
if they had a nuke we would have to treat them like equals. Can you imagine that? Diplomacy with equals? Disgusting
