1. They are trying to say he is bad and unamerican because communism is bad and unamerican. He is bad, but he is probably the most USian person I can think of. Man is basically a walking US cliche.

2. They are trying to imply he is a Russian asset and think Russia is still a communist country. It is unbelievable how many people make that mistake. McCarthy would be proud.

Nothing too unexpected, it is Russian media and yeah it often has a Russian bias. I don't think it is any better or worse about that than any other news channel. Sometimes they have had good coverage about things, and sometimes they don't.

Is it technically propaganda? Sure, just as much as any other news sources are. Propaganda isn't necessarily untrue. I think trying to filter news to some pure unbiased ideal is an exercise in futility. But that isn't at all what western forces are trying to do with RT. They just don't want contrary viewpoints.

Fun fact, as soon as something is printed in a book it becomes an irrefutable truth. The Supreme Council of Literature would never allow so much as a single untrue word to be printed in a textbook.

Obviously 4D Chess. Biden endorsing Trump is probably the fastest way to guarantee Harris wins the election.

I am not going to lie, I assumed the Biden wearing the hat was a doctored image, because surely nobody would be that dumb.

"First they take away my grandmother's egg monopoly, now they take away my brother's thriving business. I can't believe the vendetta Xi has against me personally!"

"We are not stupid"

Doubt.

They are not. Asia (this comprises most SE asian countries), China, Japan, and SK are each separate regions.
Not quite as uniform as Europe, which is basically just one big region.

This is correct, I use a US PS5 in Japan and there is no issue.

I just have multiple PSN accounts for different regions. Even if you wanted to use the off-region PSN account outside that region you could, you would just have to do some workarounds to fund the digital wallet. Though there are plenty of sites that sell PSN codes that would work, I have used in the past and never been an issue.

Yen too, even factoring in exchange rates it is about 850 USD in JPY. In terms of relative purchasing power, it is well over 1000 USD.

We designed the damn thing and it is the most expensive here. I can't imagine they will have all that many domestic sales.

"No, you don't understand, I didn't use that slur. I used this other slur instead" is not the defense he thinks it is.

Yeah he got arrested in London for a bomb threat on the Chinese embassy there. He insists it was an elaborate CPC operation, like they have any idea who the hell he is.

A racist piece of shit who has made his infamy by hating Chinese people. Regularly protests outside predominantly Asian suburbs. Got his start around the HK riots.

Mostly to get attention so people donate money to him, because he has no actual job. I am near convinced at this point that he is just rage-baiting for twitter engagement as his last source of income.

This can't be real right? Streaming services are seriously broadcasting the debates? Isn't Disney+ for children who probably don't want to watch the debate?

I mean...I guess I get it. USians treat their elections, especially the presidential election, like a team sport. Cheer for your team! Boo the other team! Only two options! Better buy your team's jersey so they know who you support!

It...depends probably.

You can definitely build a competent gaming PC for less than a PS5, depending on the games you want to play. If you are playing like Factorio and Rimworld, you don't need a 4090 or something like that.

I think a PS5 is probably better value if you are just looking at raw tech specs for technically demanding games. Historically consoles (except sometimes Nintendo consoles) are sold at a loss because the platform holder makes money back on software. I have no idea if this is true for the Pro, though I imagine it is.

But on the high-end, PCs are definitely more expensive. The PC I just built cost me several times more than a PS5 Pro would have. It is almost certainly technically more powerful than the Pro would be and I can do a lot more with it besides just play games.

For me, makes no sense to replace my PS5 with a Pro. I don't even care about the whole disc drive thing people are in arms about, I haven't bought a physical game since the PS3 era. My PS5 has a drive that has never been used once. I just don't really see the benefit of the upgrade when I have the base version and a PC already.

I am pretty sure getting banned from worldnews is a rite of passage. It should honestly be a requirement for joining lemmygrad at this point, but I suppose it would be redundant with existing screening materials.

In the future you either watch adverts for entertainment, or seek out the Puppeteers lurking in the sewer system.

I think I am a millenial and while I definitely know people who do own homes (I am trying to get one myself soon admittedly) I don't think they are even close to the majority. Every one of those lives in a more rural or semi-rural area. If you live in a major city, especially in the western world, good luck.

The basement part is even weirder. Some areas you just can't practically have basements. Whether due to the building codes of that area, the risk of flooding, or just culturally it not being a thing.

Exactly what it sounds like. People describe it as pretty close to chicken (which makes sense) though I find it is closer to turtle, especially texturally. The tail meat is particularly close to chicken. If you have never tried it, it's pretty good. So are the legs. It is quite lean though, so you may need to add some fat from another source.

I have heard people used ground alligator mix in minced blends alongside a fattier meat for burgers sometimes, but I haven't tried it myself.

They're less common but they definitely are depending on availability. I have alligator steaks in my freezer right now even. Bears (true these are omnivores, but they definitely have periods of more carnivorous activity as in the video) are pretty common in my country, even during the seasons where they are primarily on a carnivorous diet.

The safety point is reasonable as that is true, though can be easily offset these days. The deliciousness I would disagree with, because I have had some delicious predators before (see alligator steaks). They seem to acknowledge as much as this. Though I will say, I have never had any type of feline that I particularly enjoyed the taste of.

I think their last point about efficiency is maybe the most likely as to why they weren't historically consumed, and that has just lasted for cultural reasons.

You forget that everything good in China is because of capitalism, and everything bad is communist. If you ask people there anything and they respond positively, it is actually the miracle of capitalism!

He is actually australian, so for once he is commenting on his country.

Doesn't make any arguments he has remotely more valid, but it is technically where he lives. I hate that I am aware enough of him to know where he is from.

Well yes, but she will give the contracts to minority-run defense contractors! Far more progressive.

At first I was like "Oh, well a DNR is not that crazy a thing to hav-oh." I would probably take my chances with bleeding out too.

" If the player allows the counter-revolutionary Trotskyists to take over the Supreme Soviet, it is possible to establish socialist governments around the world through Permanent Revolution and even dismantle the United States in less than six years"

That is certainly an...optimistic viewpoint of Trotskyists.

I would like to know what the 10% who think Trump is far left considers to be far right.

This HAS to be satire. The IQ bit and "He invented electric cars" are things I can believe idiots would believe. "He revolutionized travel with the hyperloop" though. Like...the hyperloop doesn't even work, it didn't revolutionize anything. X is bleeding money.

They should go with "The smartest man ever to live" just to really drive the bit home though.

I would! If for nothing else than the satisfaction/fun of doing it yourself. (Which I realise you went into depth on in your other answer)

There are a lot of things that I've done myself that were probably not cost-efficient. But I enjoyed doing them, and there is a special sort of satisfaction by having something you can say you truly did yourself. I despise that mindset of every hobby has to be turned into a "side-hustle".

Bold of you to assume many people can afford McHouses anymore.
You will have to settle for a McBox. Maybe a whole McFlat if you're affluent.

Nazi shit and "we like internet" has basically been the two defining qualities of Estonia as far as I am aware.

"We think so little of you that we know all it takes is a tv show or two to condition you to any leader we want to feed you! Isn't that neat!?"

Don't suppose we can get an HBO drama about a charismatic communist leader anytime soon?

I don't think there is a one size fits all answer.

I ask these questions mostly rhetorically, please don't answer anything that would run the risk of doxing yourself unnecessarily.

Do you speak other languages? Which ones? If not, are you willing to put the effort in to learn?

Do you have any career skills, what are they? If you are highly educated and have specialized skills (especially if you are something like an accomplished scientist) then it is a LOT easier.

What kind of lifestyle do you expect? Do you want something comparable to the USA? Do you want a more agrarian lifestyle?

Do you want to retain US citizenship? If not, some countries can be difficult to naturalize at.

For comparison, I left the US when I was very young and have lived my entire adult life in Japan. It's not perfect. While I hold out hope that comrades here will make progress (and we do in some areas), we have existed as lapdogs of the USA for a very long time at this point. Would I recommend it to other people? Honestly, depends.

Maybe pro-kids in cages? They are big on those too.

Liberals have never once shown me any desire to organise and "push their candidate left" as much as they love to preach about doing that.

The fact that they keep giving the democrats every office they could possibly want without them having to do a damn thing is why they keep rushing right. May as well pocket the money from all the lobbies and ignore the people who will inevitably vote for you.

If anything, we would see more organizing from liberals if Trump were elected. Granted, most of that organizing would be generic "trump bad" protests without any real attempts to enact change, but it would be more than the alternative.

I really liked the Devil Survivor games. Tactical strategy RPG in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Incidentally one of my favourite big franchises.

They re-released the first game on the 3DS and it's a solid port. Speaking of SMT games, SMT: Strange Journey is another good one. It has that very classic dungeon-exploring RPG vibe though, which isn't for everyone. Think Etrian Odyssey or the old Wizardry games.

Was that why his hair like that? I always assumed he always just did copious amounts of cocaine before public appearances.

Invested it in chainsaws, obviously.

Meanwhile my claim that Putin is a nazi has to do with the fact that he is attacking neighboring countries and blowing up hospitals and schools like a nazi would.

Even if, for the sake of argument, that we grant Putin just decided to invade Ukraine because he is some kind of a Saturday morning cartoon villain that wouldn't make him a nazi.

A nazi isn't "person doing something I don't like". Now if you say...are a member of the SS being celebrated in Canada you would be a nazi. Or a military regiment following the teachings of the nazi party and proudly wear nazi symbology. Or put on a pedestal a man directly affiliated with the nazi party. That might make you a nazi.

That one is one of my favorites.

Assuming that Russia would somehow benefit from cutting off the gas supply, why wouldn't they just...turn it off on their end? If they really wanted to make it permanent, why not destroy it on their end? Traveling out of their own territory just to blow up the pipeline in a high risk underwater covert ops mission in enemy territory as what...an elaborate false flag?

"Next time on...The White House.

Biden is furious at Pelosi for snubbing him, even after she promised they were besties . Pelosi can't even sleep she is so upset by what she had to do. But little do they know that Michelle Obama is determined to get her friends speaking again with a light weekend planned of bombing developing countries!"

I could probably make this into a streaming TV drama and it'd be better than half the stuff on streaming now.

I think this is extremely unlikely, the days of the government actually pushing back against corporations in any meaningful way in the US seems largely over.

Even if somehow it did go through, there would be functionally very little impact. They'd sulk a bit about the government stifling "innovation", walk away with their tail between their legs, and then go back to operating almost entirely unchanged.
