Reminder that Apple only has a factory in India because Modi put tariffs on the iPhone.

Well even now, most Indians generally trend toward Android phones because the price differential between an iPhone and Android is way too stark. For the price of an iPhone in India (even after they began making the product there), you could easily buy a cheap Android phone and have enough money left over for a cheap motor scooter. Sure, incomes are trending upward, but we're still a long ways off from Indians having the same type of purchasing power that Chinese people once had between the 1990s and the 2010s. That's also not even getting into how Google Pay, WhatsApp, and other non-Apple services are far more entrenched in everyday life over there than shit like Apple Pay and iMessage.

Real shit: I'm honestly giddy, warm, and fuzzy on the inside that the White House Twitter page is actively celebrating the decade-long sobriety of JD Vance's mother. I've known people who died to their vices before they ever turned 25, I've had coworkers who almost lost it all and got their shit back together, and I have IRL friends who've done the same. A sobriety anniversary is honestly worth celebrating, and it feels like we're normalising recovery from addiction again instead of celebrating the vices that bring us there in the first place.

First term Trump stated he phoned up Putin and told him in no uncertain terms that if he invaded, America would militarily intervene. Then the Resident-of-The-United-States took over and fucked up afghanistan + was to all and sundry a sundowning old man. Putin took his chance, believing his own propaganda at how it was 3 days to Kiev, the VDV got slaughtered, and then we settled into the trench-war it is now because Putin (rightly) guessed the Resident would not send troops.

Trump should do the funniest thing and keep his word from the first term and invade the shit out of Russia and turn it into a territory. Russia has already spent 3 years bleeding in Ukraine like a stuck pig and is weakened. It would improve relations with Europe, specially Eastern Europe. US will get it's money back it lost in Ukraine, with interest. US will basically achieve a monopoly on oil and will then be sitting on 2 vast, ridiculously resource rich areas. US will get military bases close to China, Europe and Middle east. US will be left on the worlds stage as an unrivaled hyperpower. Only Down side is us will get 150 million violent albino niggers, that are lazy and want gibs, but alot of them will die in the war, but it wont be enough.

if you had told me at any time in the past that I would be living under a presidential administration that regularly made me have any emotions at all other than amused contempt I would have thought you were insane

and I'm actually crying at this and it isn't the first time
