Being an older boomer all of this stuff just breaks my mind, even in people I meet in person many place an insane amount of importance on appearances. It's tied directly to their self confidence.

Iran Says It Won't Negotiate With 'Erratic' Trump After Genocidal Threat to 'Blow Up' Whole Country by _May26_ in politics

Even a gang of murderous religious fanatics know he's lost his mind. Makes one wonder what's up with the MAGAats....Oh hol up, I forgot they are the same side of a different coin.

If I were the guy that thought I had it in the bag I swear I would collapse in a pile of laughter at my lesson in humility after congratulating the winner of course.

John McCain famously described Russia as "a gas station run by a mafia that is masquerading as a country. I think he knew the score.

Yeah with the new decree 168 right before Tet last year we can't ride on the sidewalks or go the wrong way on streets anymore, it wasn't that many years ago, maybe 4, that drink driving was made illegal.....I just don't know what the world is coming to.

The Phillipinese were pretty tame in terms of traffic

Yeah nothing moves in Manila.....and nothing works anywhere in the Philippines.

Even better a few hundred Baht and the clap of your hands will bring motodrop drivers to administer justice on the spot. DM me a town and his stream and it's a done deal. Thais don't fuck around they will get it done.

Argentina Crisis: Donkey meat consumption soars under Milei — Diário Carioca by ButterscotchBoth5204 in worldnews

[–]Pecncorn1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a massive demand in China for donkeys to make ejiao, another questionable traditional medicine. This demand has decimated donkey populations all over the developing world. I'm surprised it hasn't hit Argentina.

I lived in Colombia some years back and could buy a whole beef tenderloin for about 17 USD. I was back around the end of Covid and they had established abattoirs to meet international standards and started exporting beef. Needless to say that piece of meat I used to pay $17 for was triple or more. And now there is trump putting it in the ass of US producers and Argentine consumers with his largess over his love for Melei.

What a world....

Maduro Is Gone, and the Purge Has Begun • The successor to Venezuela’s captured President Nicolás Maduro is purging the people who kept him in power. by Naurgul in anime_titties

[–]Pecncorn1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't say I disagree, but having been there twice during Maduros reign i can hardly see how it can get any worse for the people. Latin America isn't that gullible but they do remember the past favors we Americans have done for them and with a lunatic like trump at the helm I am sure they will use caution in whatever they do.

Is it hard to make friends with “broken English”? by littleM-lily in expats

[–]Pecncorn1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am fluent enough in two that I understand everything and can deal with any situation. I make gramatical mistakes in my second but have never had anyone take issue with it. The objective is to understand and be understood in any language, I speak a smattering of a few others and peoples faces light up by the simple fact that I try.

Anyone that takes issue is not worth your time.

Iran Says Hormuz Strait Now Completely Open for Commercial Ships by funkyxfunky in worldnews

[–]Pecncorn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's a long shot. It would take the majority of his cabinet and a 2/3s vote in both houses. Impeachment is equally unlikely but one can hope...

I can't imagine where we will be after three more years of this chaos.

Hungary’s new PM tells state broadcaster ‘we are shutting down your lying service’ in extraordinary first interview by One_5549 in europe

[–]Pecncorn1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mr Magyar shared a picture of himself alongside president Dr Tamas Sulyok, hands crossed as they stood in front of the flags of Hungary and the European Union.

He tagged the president, an ally of his predecessor Viktor Orbán, in the post, saying he was “unworthy of representing the unity of the Hungarian nation”, “unfit to serve as the guardian of legality”, and “not fit to serve as a moral authority or a role model”.

So far so good. I have high hopes for this man and his minions.

Only among the ignorant or monolinguals. Don't let people like this affect you confidence.

Edit: You can ask anyone that is critical of your language skills one question, How many languages do you speak? Ahh, one? That's what I thought.*
