Badminton

You might not have to pay $.02 in taxes every year to accommodate transgender prisoners, but at least egg prices are down...right?

...right?

- Oh my God. Eggs are expensive because people aren't buying them!
- You... You mean they lied?!

Fake. CEO’s aight choosing shit. They’re going to Paris and Barcelona

They're choosing which football club they'll buy, Paris or Barcelona

Holy shit, insulin is ~$98 on average over there!?
That is literally the most expensive place to buy insulin on this planet.
Most countries have insulin available for ~1/5th that price or less, with many selling it for less than 1/10th of the US price.

I knew it was bad over there but that’s fucking atrocious.
At least you’re more free over there than anywhere else though, right?
Right?

It's absurdly actually come down significantly in the US since 2021.
That $98 is a major improvement.
Yeah. It's literally against the law for Medicaid or Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. They have the largest insurance pools, and therefore an incredible amount of leverage, but nope. Gotta pay those insurance companies!
- There shipping be a bathroom line in front of Joe Lieberman’s grave.
Gun and bullet is cheap i heard, the equipment of freedom is affordable.
Yeah I mean where else can you fuck your employees this hard and purchase a job gutting the government
Freedumb pretty much. It is a great study how to keep people divided while the wealthy extract all the money. Greed begets greed, look at the richest man on earth. It is never enough.
Now the plan is to make everyone else poor. Taxes go up for the poor down for the rich while inflation gobbles up any increase in salary. Union bad. Privatise good. This message is several decades old now.

Badminton is criminally underrated

It might have better PR if they renamed it to "Goodminton."
- They really bury the lede with the whole "shuttlecock" thing. When I learned that shit, it gave it an immediate boost in my teenage brain lol
- Double Plus Goodminton

- Lmao, this is new to me!! Sending to my friends..
I prefer squash.
- pfft, squash has nothing on pumpkin
- Squash is good too. I actually played quite a bit when I was young. But imo nothing compares to the feeling of defending smash successfully esp. multiple times in a row.

Why does badminton even need to be separated it’s not a strength contest

Because some people view Men's sports as professional, and a career opportunity. Women's sports on the other hand are seen by those people as recreational, and something fun to do outside of the house.
Who would put a professional player against a recreational player? That's just not fair, the recreational player would be embarrassed at how bad they are and it wouldn't be fun to watch.
Obviously nothing I said is true but it's an opinion held by many.
Trans women also got banned in chess. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/18/1194593562/chess-transgender-fide-pushback
So men don't have to be embarrassed from being beaten by a woman.
Never seen Serena Williams play badminton?

Reaction time, endurance, strength(yes hitting a shuttlecock harder is important), etc. They vary wildly between men and women and no sport can really balance the scales in either direction.
Men have better motor reflexes. Speed and strength is also a factor.

This meme is way less impressive for someone living in Europe. Ryanair will take to to either for like 19 euros.

Yeah CEO’s and shareholders are driving it to the extreme, but in the end everybody wants their interest on savings/investments, their yearly wage increases etc. The whole economic system is at fault and America is driving it to the extreme.

The whole economic system is at fault and America is driving it to the extreme.
No, americans are just speed-running it.
- Not American, so idk what I am speedrunning. Maybe I can finally post a time on speedrun.com
Ok, then let's switch to a new money supply that doesn't encourage investment and necessitate yearly wage increases.
- One of those theories is the circulair economy which basically against consumerism and working more on the r-ladder to make companies produce better goods.
  But first the US needs to get their shit together with bullshit that is designed for people to buy as much as possible like the taxes not being included in the price. Same with tips and other fees. Normally that is called misinformation on price, but American jusr accepts it. Some people even defend that bullshit.
  Another theory involves giving people other benefit than more which is more in line with how it worked in mid-century. But then instead of having a king ontop have the state untop
