Carriers are useless, which is why China is spending billions to develop carriers with parity to the US?

They need Carriers to attack countries well within their land based air force range? Including a country they share a disputed land border with?
When did I say carriers are useless? They are a power projection platform. China wants to project power. Against a peer you cant bully who can shoot down the planes it sends out its value becomes in question. The issue is thats its really easy to mission kill a carrier. Just fuck up its deck.

If you want to do a naval battle against another naval fleet. Dollar for dollar you can probably spend less money for smaller ships and beat the carrier fleet. Probably because a real naval battle is almost out of living memory and no one actively serving in any navy has really been in one.

Chinese doctrine to beat America in the Chinese seas is not going to be sending their carrier group to duel the American one.

India is a large country. Being able to put a carrier group in the Indian ocean to project power over their shipping lanes is pretty important yes.
 
so you're telling me the jews have been following the old testament all along!? do they know this!?
One of the primary lessons of the Old Testament is that the Jews continually fuck themselves over and are the cause of their own destruction. Deuteronomy 12:8 in the instructions to the Israelites from Moses, for example, says “You are not to do as we do here today, everyone doing as they see fit.” Now how does the book of Judges, which immediately follows the death of Joshua after the occupation of Canaan, talk about the conduct of the Jews? “In those days, there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Judges 17:6, 21:25.

Pretty much the entire history of the Jews from Adam onward is a set of narratives about Jews fucking up and suffering the consequences. It’s incredibly and depressingly in-line with the Old Testament for Jews to be so responsible for creating the conditions of their own downfall, whether it’s not obeying the word of the Lord by becoming totally irreligious and engaging in degenerate behavior or simply by importing millions of foreigners who end up hating Jews.

Hell, the entire October 7 conundrum of Israel having to respond to abductions and rape and feeling forced to go over the top, resulting in creating a hostile local environment is ripped straight out of the book of Genesis. See Genesis 34. There is literally nothing new under the sun when it comes to Jews fucking up.
 
I'm no longer living on my own, and food has gotten so expensive that you have to hunt for whatever is on sale that meets diatery restrictions and make do with what you find.
Nigga, I bought large costco bag of rice of like, $30 that has lasted me over a year or two. Get some bulk chicken on sale or tofu, maybe like a bag of mini carrots and a bottle of sauce. Bam, you got like 5 million fucking dinners that take like two seconds to make.
 
I'll be fair, from unpacking the groceries to plating the food was an hour and change the other night, the brats had to thaw and I was juggling doing dishes and laundry at the same time
Sure, but do you go to the grocery store daily or do you show for a few days/week at a time? If you're factoring in gorecey unpacking it'll obviously take longer, but, nobody is including that but you. If you make some rice and cook a protein with a veggie at the same time it takes max 20min for most things. Realistically it takes less than that so there's no excuse.
 
Prisons suffer from NIMBYism. Cities with prisons are statistically safer and it does not affect property vallue, but people freak out about it. The same people who complain about overpopulation in prisons will scream and shout against putting a prison in their city.
Cities should let their citizens have access to the available slave labor to do their yard work and help them throw antebellum themed dinner parties.
 
You probably didn’t have the presence of mind to check, but the Kursk salient is currently collapsing hard. It benefits russia to only come to a deal once ukraine has been kicked out of ‘their’ territory.
The US is far more likely to be able to moderate a deal in the Saudi Arabia talks once that bargaining chip is gone. Whether they will after is another question, but Trump will lean heavy against them if they don’t.
You can't make a "deal" without some sort of concession from Russia in the first place which they will not do because they're currently winning.

EGG PRICES CATERING

GASOLINE PRICE LOWEST SINCE MARCH 2021 AND STILL MORE TO GO (OPEC GOING AHEAD WITH HIGHER PROEUCTION QUOTA)

LOWER THAN EXPECTED INFLATION

HOUSING PRICES COLLAPSING

RATES STABILIZING

ALL THESE DESPITE NEW TARIFF, GLOBAL "INSTABILITY," AND NO ILLEGAL ALIENS ENTERING THE COUNTRY

BEST FIRST 60 DAYS EVER.


(bad stock market tho but that was fake and gay anyway)
The gas price part is real in my locale.

Filled up my truck with the cheap 87 octane stuff a few days before the inauguration. Made a mental note of the price, $4.89/gal. It's been dropping for the last few weeks and this morning I filled up at the same station with the same octane, and this morning it's $2.59/gal. Wow.

Had my fuel oil tank for my furnace filled yesterday and it's much the same. Was $4.69/gal in January, now it's $3.19/gal. Typical fill is around 400 gallons. I suddenly have a surplus of funds without having to cut back on or give up anything.

Grocery prices are also starting to slowly come down, most likely an affect of the lower fuel prices.

"Queue the narrative changing to "This is Biden's policies finally starting to kick in! Trump had nothing to do with this!"
 
Rice? Two minutes.
Stop microwaving your rice, there are easier alternatives:

Vegetables? Maybe three.
Try roasting your vegetables in the oven.
Roasting = Flavor

How about 30 minutes per meal.
That's a pretty standard time to cook but get away from relying on the microwave. We have an entire cooking forum.

The roasted carrots above took about 30 minutes from prep to cooking.

Microwaved veggies taste like ass and it can be remedied by a bit longer using the stove. Again, the peas below took 15 minutes to cook:
1000004188.jpg
The difference is that butter was first melted, shallots / green onions / garlic was sauteed, chicken broth was heated to a simmer, and the defrosted peas were cooked in the herb butter - chicken broth concoction with the lid closed for about 5-7 minutes then the vast majority of the liquid boiled off.

The result is some sweet yet flavorful unlike microwaved slop.

I really want the Ukraine peace so bad because I can't wait to see so-called progressives demand it be broken and that more Ukraine retard apes and Russian HIV+ monkeys need to fill the grave pits pointlessly.
 
How does this make sense. If you lend money from them then you'd have money to lend to them.
Except they don't need to borrow money from you, and now you owe them. If they have unfair interest rules and such you may eventually be forced to give them the shirt off your back. It's why Jewish religion discourage obtaining interest loans while it's perfectly ok to give them to the goy.

Rice is cheap but it's also high in soy so it does have an effect on you. And chicken has gotten expensive. It used to be $20 for a 4kg box but now it's $60 or more and pork is the cheaper meat. Especially when you have only a small apartment sized deep freezer and the nearest bulk food store is a long drive away while co-op is across the street
