I love this libertarian obsession with "true free markets" as if there has ever been or ever will be a market with no nation-states or major conglomerates putting their fingers on the scale for their own self interests. What a world it must be to live in where one is so high on idealism that they somehow miss how incredibly fucking worthless even considering such a thing is when a child could point out that would never occur.

The curvature of spacetime does wild shit to how you would expect physics to work. If you want to fall into a gravity well, you have to slow down or you'll just slingshot past it.

Who isn't racing out the door at 5pm? I trade labor for wages, I'm not sticking around for unpaid overtime just to make some investor who's never worked a day in his life even richer.

My favorite genre of journalism: other countries' journalists writing about the US the same way the US writes about their countries. I'm just sad they didn't dredge up some "America expert" who's never been to the US and doesn't speak English to call for mass balkanization of the country followed by conspiracy theory screeds for the extra flavor.

Did they finally add foreign investment mechanics to Vicky? I got tired of sitting in the endgame watching half the world squander their obscene oil reserves while my economy is dying from a lack of supply.

I'm sure he'll think real hard about what he's done on the way home. Maybe even dry his tears with the truckloads of money and munitions Harris is complicit in handing him without reservation to commit genocide with.

You'd probably be smell blind to it. It's a very different thing if you grew up used to it.

A gaggle of particle physicists standing in a circle chanting "RING! WORLD! RING! WORLD!"

You won't be able to drive them on the road unless the DoT has done safety testing on that specific model of car. You can own one, you're just not going to be able to put plates on it or get it insured.

Their sluggish state-owned enterprises which merely build 10,000km of high speed rail in 5 years, compared to our innovate, profit-driven corporations which have laid 7km of high speed rail in 20 years.

Presumably there are enough sane Ukrainian officials left to not want to wake up to nuclear hellfire.

While I wouldn't put it past Google/YouTube to do something as shitty as this, I think people are far too quick to assume foul play over the much more likely possibility that the world's largest video platform occasionally shits itself.
