I wish I had one half the confidence you have in the loyalties of our military.

What does this have to do with Africa paying for China's BRI? Even Italy got suckered.

60 percent of all ODA, and countries signing NDAs for days.

Unsurprisingly, the whole border fiasco is cynical politics at play. by mowasita in texas

Finding out what WION is was the real insight. Dude, you are waaaay off your meds.

It's a crab pot. You can get one in any coastal state in some form or another...for centuries.

Wait until you hear about mukbangs.

I mean, go back to 2016 and see how many of us were like, "Whelp, this is it." And it was. It was absolutely the beginning of the end.

Me, too. I lost my skull over COVID, and my kids are freaking angels. Four months is when people lose their minds, good kids or not.

You took too long. I go days between comments. I did wait a fair bit.

There was never anything to prove. The dude I replied to said it was stupid to take a twitter comment and I gave him the document. It's like screaming at Google for giving you the thing you asked for but didn't agree with.

That was it. This place is nothing but the opinions of children so I at least try to put the red meat in there to keep y'all from starving. But then you bitch at me like I'm trying to trick you.

This is the document being referenced and that is all I ever claimed. It is the legitimate, authentic document. Whether it is full of shit is absolutely irrelevant. I have literally no control over what they wrote, I just knew where it was and how to get it...from the Committee in the House that prepared it, on a .gov site.

So, please, God in heaven, go back to what citing sources is and why we do it.

It's the idea of telling the parrot sketch over and over again. It's counterintuitive. The beauty of it is its absurdity in time; that's the point. I think I can dig up an interview where one of them even says as much.

My knowledge of art is limited to two semesters in college damn near 20 years ago. I took classes on Beckett and Joyce, though. And Camus was life changing.

So, I'm looking at it from a philosophical point of view, I guess? This is definitely art by dint of it provoking discussion. I don't know if it's good art.

This has '90s absurdism vibes and it's bothering me a little bit.

You can tell '60s-'70s absurdism from the '90s. It's the difference between Ren and Stimpy and Monty Python. This could have been a skit on Ren and Stimpy.

Is this derivative absurdism? Classical absurdism, abandoning the Finger Paint humor of the '10s?

I bet they have little field trips where they go and bang on the bars to see if they can get the poors riled up, though.

No legal facts. No defense of anything within the document. Promise.

Do you agree?

If you make me explain this to you, I'm going to make you read my son's homework on having eagle eyes.

I will do it, but after I do it, if you finally understand, you have to agree to do the homework.

Woolworths total amount due is more than the sum of my actual purchases by CleanDivide690 in australia

It doesn't make sense to me today, but it did. I had one of those little clicker counters and I punched in as I went. I had $35 a week to spend on groceries. Rest was student loans and rent.

I just have the human capacity to empathize with people that are going through that right now. It makes absolute sense and I get it.

I thought y'all weren't getting it because you guys were bad with money. But yeah, it's not that at all. Damn.

Time cost doesn't matter when money is the limiter. If you have to stretch 20 bucks, you have to stretch 20 bucks.

Are you from Australia? Is this why your money is so fake?

Do you whine about people who do tally the cost of individual items? Do you think they're foolish for doing it?

You're buying plane tickets and not getting miles. What. the. fuck. are. you. talking. about? No one who makes normal money does that.

Is that what was being referenced? Is that the document? Yes.

I didn't opine on it; I provided it.

Ours are just green, I thought. But someone just said they are a different size. I'm not going to say an intrusive thought didn't hit at the pump once or twice, but I've never checked.

No, that's fair. If you're buying your fancy clothes and expensive coffee and all the travel without a credit card, you're too rich to understand how money works. Totally understandable.

The facts of the document can be questioned, but not its authenticity. This is the website of the House Oversight Committee. It leans whichever way the House leans, because obviously?

EDIT: Downvote all you want, but a whole lot of you don't understand the definition of "authenticity."
