Things have felt stable but I just looked at USD vs EUR last night and were back down to pandemic dollar strength. The fall is precipitous.

It feels so pedantic at this point but these shit gibbons look like they bought vests and plate carriers on Amazon and now get to RP as cops. And for some reason this is allowed? This makes the federal government look like a bunch of kids just attacking people indiscriminately.

¿Porque no los dos?

Wait it's not supposed to be two people with 1 apple each and me with 4?

Looks like it is not a lie. I went and checked for other sources because of your Wikipedia link.

Here is reporting on the announcement of this plan: https://www.wsj.com/tech/army-reserve-tech-executives-meta-palantir-796f5360

Fun fact, Alex said in an interview that this is a picture of him having a panic attack. Just shaking and desperately trying to keep calm as adrenaline pours through his system.

Definitely correct. My brain does not want to interpret 50501 as making anything being maybe a zip code. That's my bad.

I read the comment above as, "Our anti-Nazis are baby stuff compared to during Hitler's rise. They legally organized in Germany and still failed. One day a week protests aren't going to cut it. We need to shut down cities all week, all month, all year until the Nazis in our government are removed."

But hey perspectives I guess.

EDIT: You know what everyone is right. I had to Google it after waking up. I struggle so much with recognizing 50501 as literally anything other than a string of numbers. But the 50501 movement is definitely anti-nazis. And now I read the comment differently. My sentiment still stands but the other person's is more questionable in my brain now.

Edit 2: Our Nazis are baby stuff compared to Hitler shit. --> anti-Nazis are baby stuff compared to during Hitler's rise.

Also don't let go of your "standard drink" stuff on the side of piss. I loved that while I was there. Sure I can guess how much alcohol I've had in the last couple hours by reckoning my 3 or 4 beers had 5%, 6.5%x2, and 8% and this means I'm tipsy. But it's so much easier to understand how drunk I am when it's 1+1.5+1.5+2=6 standard drinks.

It's just a good system despite the many flaws.

My partner just told me a more interesting question and probably your intent was to ask: is Turkey in the European Union? And no, it is not however Turkey has many ties to Europe especially in defense. Much of the EU is part of NATO and many Europe adjacent countries are also party to the treaty. This includes Turkey.

Turkey is also split between Europe and Asia. Most of the country is in Asia. But the country is split in Istanbul by the Bosporus Strait. The European part of Turkey is on the North side of the strait. This gives Turkey a land border with Greece and Bulgaria.

Also, in the past, the Ottoman empire was pretty damn expensive pushing much further North and containing much of what we call Eastern Europe. Modern Czechia, Austria, Croatia, Poland, and Ukraine form the border for the lands claimed by the Ottomans.

Yes, the European part of the country is part of Europe and the rest of the country is in Asia. Source: I listened in middle school.

Then by your reckoning, they're doing pretty well. Colorado has a population of 6 million.

It needs to be in the streets but it's hard to be the first to do it. And where I love I'm not even sure who, what, or where to protest.

I grew up on Gundam Wing. It's quite the ride now that I'm older and see a lot of the politics at play. And in much the same vein I loved Gundam 00.

But Iron-Blooded Orphans might be the best/most accessible series in the franchise.

Witch from Mercury hits hard at the end of the first season which is a good thing and a staple of the franchise.

Unicorn is bright and shiny. I watched it twice and that's all I can remember.

Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket is probably the most succinct and existential series with 6 episodes and a build up to reveal how fucking horrible war is.

I dunno, you kind of just gotta jump in and get dirty. The themes vary from series to series but the main timeline, called Universal Century (UC.) is almost always focused on the human aspect.

Gundam is about space battles and politics and giant robots... Until it is about the stress and rigors of war. Not sleeping because you see the people you've killed. Overcoming the horror of losing friends, mentors, and loved ones to the fighting.

But again there are a bunch of series, each one is basically it's own self contained narrative that requires little in the way of prior knowledge. If you see something that interests you just jump in and watch it. I'm currently gearing up to watch the second Gundam Thunderbolt movie. The first one was pretty damn intense and I needed a three week cool down period.

On a more general anime note, I highly recommend the Apothecary Diaries.

Or when your kids are dying from school shooters...

Every ad adjacent to Nazi content needs to be shared far and wide. We need it to look like:

    
Deport all immigrants! Brought to you by Disney!


  

The backlash needs to be loud.

These fucking morons don't understand a thing about soft power. They're so ridiculously eager to remove the US from a place of global leadership. The next decade is going to be wild beyond anything any of us millennials have ever lived through.

Damn! That's pretty cool. Mine are definitely coins, mixed in with a bunch of coins from other countries I've been to...I just need to find the yogurt container they all live in.

I'm pretty sure I have some Kuna around somewhere
