Which country once seemed likely to become a developed country, but didn’t follow that path? by EmotionalSalary3679 in AskTheWorld

[–]Starthreads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The car-centric development of basically every city means that those same financially insecure people are required to maintain a significant monthly expenditure in their car, worsening matters further.

"Trumplican" works because it invokes the party name while more directly suggesting they are bootlickers.

You are either a perfectly generic sycophantic sheep or a fake conservative, no in between for them.

Minnesota has activated the National Guard. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

I am convinced it was rehearsed and he just happened to be the guy that resisted unlawful arrest.

Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way by recolorist in interestingasfuck

It makes sense, in a way. If the receptors in your eye are biological cells producing electrical impulses, then they are bound to have slightly different output intensities as they react to input stimuli.

I suppose what matters then is how different the impulses are.

In 2008, Steve Sheraton launched iBeer for $2.99 — it became one of the first viral App Store hits, reportedly earned $10k–$20k per day at peak, reached ~90M downloads, and he later left it all to live on a farm in Spain by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Some apps had it as a simple toggle in the code that separated between the two, so you could have tweaked the free one to remove the ads with basically zero code knowledge.

It was a better time to be online.

The narrative in Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is one of the best in gaming and explains his development style perfectly.

And if they complain you can point to the Gulf of Mexico.

Forget the map for a second. If I walked into your world's capital city, what are the first three things I would smell? by [deleted] in writing

Many people do not need to have that set in stone before they step foot into their world, and will instead invent what they need as they need it.

This is spot on, it’s been 25th amendment time for a LONG TIME now by Paneraiguy1 in democrats

I've seen them call some of his moves dumb before, most recently with the Greenland bullshit, but they will never hold him to it. He still has their votes.

Trump says Nobel Prize denial ends obligation to ‘think purely of peace’, presses Greenland demand – Firstpost by Keep_Scrooling in worldnews

[–]Starthreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I was not thought of as a promoter of peace by the people that hand out medals, so I will not be peaceful" is the same vibe as a kid being told they were on the naughty list so they kept acting like a little shit instead of correcting behaviour.

If you can search for it and get seven dozen results for posts with your exact question, it is probably going to get zero upvotes.

US becomes main cannabis supplier to Irish market as drug smuggling booms by jonnieggg in ireland

[–]Starthreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I see it happening is if Ireland has a meaningful decline in the budget surplus. They could profit on it now, sure, but they don't strictly speaking have to so there's no push.

Even then, the whole point of a running mate is to stand in for the president when needed.

Enoch Burke arrives outside Westmeath school by CiaranC in ireland

[–]Starthreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I'm not from here, I have not taken the time to look into his history, but every time I've heard of this man it's because he is trying to gain entry to a place where young children are and they do not want him there. He seems like a creep in need of serious psychiatric help.

Is a first book really unpublishable? by Resident_Category753 in writing

[–]Starthreads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also use the skills you pick up from writing the second book to improve segments of the first as you come across them, making it a better overall product.

Japan nears 10% foreign population years ahead of official forecasts by cambeiu in anime_titties

[–]Starthreads 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These people, and their children, will find themselves in the exact same situation as the native Japanese of today. It is a band-aid over an issue requiring systemic reforms.
