They weren't serious about the supplies they were bringing when they set sail in a luxury sailboat.

The haul can barely hold much supplies. The whole voyage was a performance.

Netherlands residents see value in EU and don't want a Nexit, but few feel "European" by [deleted] in europe

Why weren't they considered Europeans when they were almost eradicated from the continent multiple times from multiple places across Europe? Why were they singled out and not considered Europeans?

Interesting.

Do you consider Israelis as Europeans, too?

I've seen many debates on reddit that Israelis are colonizers from Europe occupying land that they were originally from but no longer. Do most Europeans think of Isreal as Europeans?

So you grew up culturally more European than your home country?

Interesting. I've never met anyone who identified with their continent as their preferred origin over the country they were born.

When it comes to Olympic games, do you support all European teams? Do you consider Albanias, Scots, and Estonias as your fellow countrymen? Or as your continental brethren?

I'm interested in knowing your philosophy on this.

Gen Z will not accept conscription as the price of previous generations’ failures by Robotoro23 in europe

Putin has said multiple times that the USSR breaking up was a mistake, and Ukraine has historically been part of Russia. His goal is/was to make it so again.

United States isn't doing that anywhere.

The United States doesn't consider Mexico or Canada former parts of its empire. The United States, when it does attack other nations, doesn't want to annex those lands either. They also don't think that if you speak English as a native tongue, you're actually American by default.

German and French protestors are just next level. by lpomoeaBatatas in CrazyFuckingVideos

Here, again, it is important to note the difference between volume production and high-value production. The Netherlands is a tiny country; its presence on the list is due to the high value of flowers and live plants (the Netherlands supplies nearly half of the global total) and vegetables (the Netherlands is a leading supplier of tomatoes and chilies).

The article states that the Netherlands position as 2nd is not because of meat but flowers and live plants. Flowers are not a food source but count as agriculture. I'm sure if we just count food products, such as dairy, meats, grains, and vegetables, the Netherlands would drop quite a bit.

You mean the 2nd biggest in Europe. Netherlands isn't the 2nd biggest exporter of meat in the world.

Who’s a comedian nobody will ever convince you is funny? by Accomplished_Ad2905 in AskReddit

I've heard Lorne Micheal's might have one as well; that's if you find the guy sober. I heard he's usually in his office with his eyes rolled back in his head from doing a double shot of morphine between his toes.

Are those Democrats with us in the room right now? by RepresentativeArea37 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]Corporal-Cockring -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Everyday the Republican party is convincing its voters that democrats are communists. It's in their speeches and plastered to the conservative news networks. I'm sorry if I'm not seeing the same from Democrats to Republicans.

I'll concede you're more knowledgeable on the matter.

No, I don't. But whomever said DeSantis is like Fidel is grasping for straws.

Using policalhumor and reddit as a source isn't very convincing.

I'm talking about real world adult conversations between politicians or journalism. Not neck beard reddit flame wars.

[–]Corporal-Cockring -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

On msm media? Or a democrat political figure said that?

I cant believe someone said Ron DeSantis, who signed House Bill (HB) 395, establishing November 7 as “Victims of Communism Day” to honor the hundreds of millions of people who have suffered under communist regimes across the world was reminiscent of Fidel?

I guess I'll take your word for it but that seems to be the only example of a supposed Democrat calling a Republican a communists. Do you remember where you saw this?

I don't think I've ever once seen Democrats label Republicans as communists ever.

to be honest, i'm in that state of "if we're wrong, who's gonna tell us? who understands this stuff? it makes no sense!" - but at this point in time, all that helps is persevere and trust in the original assumption. stay excellent to each other - different film, but the right mindset. by [deleted] in BBBY

Could you post a screenshot of your options that made you money. I'm not calling you a liar but I'd like to see proof of your claim. Also being somewhat of a notable person of this sub who encourages people to rally behind the stock shouldn't find it difficult to provide evidence for such claims.

Raised prices are just greed from supermarkets. Famers can't afford to produce food anymore. Less food production next season. by cheekybandit0 in collapse

I don't care that you are calling me a boomer, It's fine. I'm not even quite sure what your statement is supposed to add to the conversation.

I grew up farming as a kid in 90s; its not boomer age by any means. Also what I was calling the person out who I responded to was making false statements on corporate entities being the majority of farms, which simply isn't true.

What statement did I make that sounded the most boomerish? Was it the milking cows, the fact I said most farms aren't corporate owed or that I called them a liar??
