Why starve to death with a loaded gun in your hand? Shoot France and take their baguette.

Hæh?

they don’t know how to cook. nobody ever taught them so they’re learning everything from scratch. even simple recipes take forever because doing anything for the first time adds tons of extra time that people with basic cooking skills forget they had to take the time to learn. and people who don’t know how to cook don’t understand that as they learn basic cooking skills everything will become much, much easier

people who don’t know how to cook think it takes four hours to make a simple meal because for them it does. they don’t know how to use any of the tools and they might not even have any proper cooking tools because at this point the inability to do simple cooking is intergenerational

bringing back mandatory home ec classes that include nutritional label literacy would be a big step towards solving obesity

any female born after 1993 can’t cook… all they know is mcdonald’s , charge they phone, twerk, be bisexual , eat hot chip & lie

Instead of selling the airplane you can use it to kill people and steal their shit as a totally legal and legitimate income stream. This works in cases where no one wants to buy more of your airplane.

Its not required but if the other guy does it his team makes number go up more and the bankers make him president instead of you.

Senate Dems are calling to free Mahmoud Khalil.

Nah. He needs to fuckin' go. His wife can fuckin' go with him as far as I'm concerned. This man isn't here to receive an education to better himself or his family. He's here to be a propagandist and a shit stirrer (like all Palestinians).

Tangentially, can anyone explain to me precisely how the US itself being at war is a net gain for the US economy? Not saying it isn't, I just don't understand the mechanics.

It doesn't. Expending labor and resources to make fantastically expensive marvels of technology that exist only to get blown up makes you poorer, not richer. That's why wars break empires. Ever since Keynes said you could achieve prosperity by burying jars of cash in the ground and paying people to dig them up, though, war capitalism just won't go away.

This is all just theatrics. Below backyard wrestling tier beef

It's technically against Israel though.

And I don't believe that Israel and America's interests are the same given that recently, the Israelis leaked Trump's envoy doing private face to face negotiations with Hamas.

But it's going to be a double edged sword since the Dems would want folks opposed to their gravy train wars gone as well.

Palewhinners dont desserve rights.

Millitary spending is gradual iteration of technologies that will be essential in space funded in a bipartisan manner. The use of weapons is product testing on animals.

You are mentally disabled. Why has your mongoloid handler let you into this thread?

I know it's not a good practice to solely comment on how much I like a post, but I greatly appreciate the prose.

Also cooking is easy and fun, even what someone would consider "fancy" techniques are just simple things you can do. If you find someone on youtube you like listening to and have nothing to watch you pick up all sorts of things that make your life easier, from just eating good food a lot to impressing dates. You'd be surprised how many people don't know what deglazing a pan is and its just dumping liquid onto the stuff that's stuck to the bottom to make a sauce. I remember as a kid my Mom would rarely let anyone else cook using a pan because it made them hard to clean. She made it sort of a personal creed that she does not like cooking and that the kitchen's most important function is to look nice. Discovering that I could clean a pan and make a sauce at the same time was like finding the holy grail.

i know it's been said, but reddit is such an insane leftwing echo chamber and allows such crazy shit at this point that they're just begging for someone to do something crazy and get their entire website (and probably the rest of the web) absolutely fucked.

 

[tehpope]

Yeah, they should shape up into a grave. Fuck Canada. The only thing they made of value was Kids in the Hall and I think Scott died of AIDS? Eat my ass, balls, and hard American cock, leafs.

Scott Thompson is still alive.
SCTV is pretty cool. And Rush.

Trump doing more for Christianity than Christians have done in the last 100 years.

Trump's envoy trolling CNN over Hamas.

Wrong. The US manufactures bombs. And we manufacture A LOT of bombs. At the end of the day, if a trade war crashes both your economies and your only choice is to go to war, you stop operating on fiat currency. You operate on the Bomb Dollar. And Nobody. Nobody. NOBODY on the planet can best the US in the Bomb Dollar.

Dont be so sure of that. America makes overpriced boutique toys that are best 30 to 50 percent better at 100 times the price than competitors and are also basically irreplaceable in some cases.

Meanwhile China is cranking out more warships and Russia cranks out more artillery shells.

Russia is cranking out combat drones with effective capabilities for a few hundred dollars. If you asked the American MIC to make something similar it would start at 6 figures and can only be repaired or modified by approved technicians with a billion dollar service contract. In exchange you would 5 more minutes of flight time and a fancy iff system that fails half the time.

There is also a real fear that the carrier might be obsolete. And that a doctrine of lots of smaller ships equipped with hyper sonic missiles can beat a carrier fleet at sea. China seems to think so. Also our current carrier fleet captains the best and brightest of the Us Navy are acidentally hitting cargo ships. I am left skeptical of a solid core of compotence remaining.

Real carriers with catapult or cope slope again?

Isn’t stealing Sarah McBride’s right to speak even worse than calling he/her/it by incorrect pronouns?

Ah yes my favorite reporter, Mukbang blarson

Nobody has time. You basically need someone with an extra four hours a day to plan and cook anything that's not super basic and nobody can afford that.
