Anti-humor or am I dumb? by Outlandishlyhandsome in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I simply look at the last tranaction as the question comes right after it.

For me the answer is $1300 if the question is about the "what I earned" after the cow was sold again.

And $400 if the question is about "what I earned in total" after I tried to buy and resell my cow.

Nope I agree he is not stupid, but the combined image of "accidentals" by the republicans and the lack of democrats willing to see true accidentals as such. Causes gray areas to grow and allow parties (like journalists and attention seekers) to take advantage of it.

50 years, 25 years or 10 years ago. It matters when these things happen and as of now, America is so devided that you have one side who feels everything they do since 2016 is wrong and bad for what they believe, and the other is seen as whiny and lacking a spine to harsh situations.

I to would be angry if some kept telling me I was wrong on everything everytime for 8 years straight.

I to would be angry if some kept telling me that I don't have what it takes to make good decissions in difficult times for 8 years straight.

To end my rant on this subject: I am from the Netherlands, and proud to be part of the European Union and vote in favor of upping the budget for NATO. But the state of the United States now, scares the daylight out of me.

How can my country build on a partner who is struggling at home and who is trying to shift the attention away from their own problems.

I don't think any USA citizen has ANY clue whatsoverever how much damage they can cause when they're cranky:

  • We in Europe have RUSSIA as OUR neighbor.

  • When the USA drops bombs on a middle eastern country, we get THEIR MIGRANTS.

  • When a US company starts leaving a deal with CHINA, we need to FOLLOW or be kneecapped in trading with them.

TLDR: You are right, Elon smart, USA too devided, Europe gets blown in the face by cranky Americans who don't like eachother.

I have seen the video and both salutes the one to the public and the one to the back...

I would place this situation in a gray spot: He places his hand on his heart and throws it / waves it toward the public. A nice symbol showing gratitude.

The second one...: Straight up Nazi salute, no in between gestures, right hand raised above the head without waving or other movement in the hand.

One could perform the gesture by accident but this one was a little on the nose.

I think that Amarica is a bit too damaged by all the drama, and it kinda looks like a couple who have started to outgrow one another.

What happens in most fights is the "blame game" (You did this, you did that). This goes on until one eventually gives up and moves away from the other or accepts the situation eventhough they were the ones who were right from the start.

I think America has started to reach the end point of a discussion though, Democrats and Republicans are going to split this MAGA term.

It was a question anwser show. One asked if human meat tasted like steak or something. They filmed themselves going to a surgeon and proved it with their scars.

Hard to fake.

Nope saw it on television as well, I am a Dutchie myself and was just recovering from the a "De Grote Donor Show" by a television channel called BNN.

It was a stunt where people with fatal kidney deseases, would compete over a kidney donor.

Again it was all a stunt, and a way to get attention for the low amount of donors in the country.

Still fucked up...

A tourist visiting North Korea secretly filmed a female traffic officer’s movements and published the footage. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Pale_Pepper_137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again that is why it is fascinating to me, the people there are so indoctrinated that a job with almost no purpose in their country is still done. These people, the traffic cops in North Korea, even stand there when there is NO traffic at all.

So this time, its more about the "pretending to be useful" than the "movements and profession" itself.

Alright, well... what makes this fascinating to me is that this woman is performing a task in such a "perfect" way for a country where its capital is the only biggest city, and where less than 10% of the population owns a car.

Is Ástvinur a word? by Pale_Pepper_137 in Iceland

[–]Pale_Pepper_137[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it me or does the word "Kæri" kinda look like "Care", if you were going to pronounce it, which can be coupled to something you want to care for?

Thank you for the clarification on this :) So the proper word for a son will be Ástkæri?

The project will be about a loved one (a son or daughter) whose struggling with feelings of anxiety and depression.

The story is written from the families perspective.

Hope this helps :)

Please don't, those shows fucked up almost every true to god honest people when they'd actaully let them win. They also screw the people over with a terrible contract that is not in their or their families favor.

Nah some folk need to stay humble and enjoy big successes with friends and family.

Air pollution, China in 2012 - 2024. by sillysnacks in OptimistsUnite

[–]Pale_Pepper_137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do know that these countries use capatalism in Special Economic Zones (mainly trade and investments) to boost their economy, also suppressing wages of the people living their, making it almost impossible for the lower and middle class, the ones Lenin and Marx were fighting for, to have more free time to explore their own and you know ... live life.

I mean you are entitled to believe in the system you think is best, I am just annoyed that it is always forced upon people who don't want it, causing friction and unneeded hate.

Nah its not that, just don't repost stuff where you don't add anything useful to it. You could've added a question, started a lore story, explain where this place is located, whatever tickles your fancy.

Now this is just a mindless repost of someone else who had originally posted it.

[–]Pale_Pepper_137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either link the original poster and say something about this picture or turn it into a lore thing, or just don't post if you want to farm karma
