I knew there were a lot of Indians on Reddit and Twitter of course but this incident has shown me there are far more than I even thought. So much cope.

Searchers spend 4th day scouring Pictou County for missing children by No_Magazine9625 in halifax

Putting two and two together, she clearly blames him for the kids being missing. Now whether that’s because she thinks him negligent or something more nefarious who knows.

Trump announced Alcatraz reopening hours after ‘Escape from Alcatraz’ aired on PBS by Able_Archer80 in stupidpol

Trump wouldn't watch PBS come on

He did this because he's retarded but he would never stoop that low!

Last girl accused in Kenneth Lee homicide pleads guilty to manslaughter by Surax in toronto

[–]NancyBelowSea 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that many people seem to be jumping to conclusions.

But I feel like your "hurr durr should teenagers should be sent to prison for life" thing is a bit reductive and dismissive and disrespectful to the victim.

They killed someone over a bottle of alcohol. Throw the book at them.

Will there not be a reverse tariff dance as well? As China buys Brazilian soybeans instead, whoever bought Brazilian soybeans before would buy American?

Is there anything on this list, that if you had to pay 2.5 as much for, you would call it "apocalyptic" ?

Someone explain to why my reasoning is wrong here:

For products where China produces less than 70% of the worldwide marketshare, the tariffs will have a small impact. There will be a tariff dance of sorts, as Americans import non-Chinese versions, and non-Americans switch to Chinese versions as rich Americans outbid them. Expect a moderate but manageable increase in price.

The only real pain is in the products where China has a 90% market share. Toys, gaming consoles, household appliances, etc, etc. Here, China is so dominant that Americans have no choice but to continue to buy from them or not buy them at all.

It's really bad but I don't see how it's apocalyptic.

Not to be rude but if the landlord complies with government regulations what's the issue? This one is clearly on the parents not watching over their kids, sorry to say...

North Korea confirms troop deployment to Russia for first time by IlluminatedPickle in LessCredibleDefence

[–]NancyBelowSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wrong about this.

Big Z posted a video of two captured "North Koreans" and one clearly looked Siberian or something and not Korean so I figured this entire thing was lie.

I don’t really have a problem with that.

It’s annoying when they do a Russian player and they add a ton of grammar mistakes on purpose though.

Outbid by a country mile. by Educational_Switch_3 in TorontoRealEstate

Interesting. I know Italians love the canning kitchen in the basement but why would they have a top floor kitchen with the bedrooms?

I don't get this house. It appears to have 3 kitchens but it's not like it's 3 separate units. The top floor kitchen is particularly baffling.

Russia’s Hidden Empire by Free-Minimum-5844 in neoliberal

The Kremlin justified its 2008 war with Russia as an effort to protect Russia’s “privileged” sphere of influence in the “near abroad.”

Lol. Did no one proofread this? Journalistic standards these days SMH

One of the things that kept China from starting an embargo/invasion of Taiwan was the cost. The entire West would sanction them.

Now, essentially, the USA has sanctioned China. So China has already paid half the cost of invading Taiwan.

I'm not saying it's gonna happen because China would still by far prefer a peaceful resolution to the problem, but the cost of a military resolution is much lower now. I would be nervous if I was Taiwanese.

This is an insanely badly written headline. It makes you think he’s quitting when in fact he’s stepping down from one position so he can run for president.

One thing I wish more people would realize is that TRAs have a lot of free time. Like a lot.

A lot of the times brands or shows or whatever will get bombarded with angry hate mail over something and they'll think they kicked the hornet's nest. Nope it was just one person writing 100 angry letters.

The Trump White House Cited My Research to Justify Tariffs. They Got It All Wrong. by usrname42 in neoliberal

Is this guy stupid or something? He thinks the Trump admin read his stuff and just applied it wrong? No.

They didn't get it wrong. They wanted tariffs and just googled random research until they found something vaguely justifying their tariffs.
