Jesus wasn’t telling the poor destitute to sell everything, he told the wealthy that it was their only way to salvation. A guy with a pair of shoes, a few sets of clothing and a phone is living as bare bones a life style as is possible in any modern society.

You are doing the Fox News bit of complaining that food stamp recipients have cell phones and refrigerators

I didn’t have healthcare in 2024 either. And it was Democrats who caved agter the 2025 elections to allow the government to reopen without getting the Republicans to extend the subsidies. The Democrats also don’t care if you can get healthcare and that’s the problem.

I’m in a semi rural area and you can tell our store is the end of their supply line. Produce is always horrid and worse than walmarts Even their canned goods are of a noticably lower quality than the store brand at kroger or Walmart. I’ll stop by there for a handful of specific things every now and then, but only for snacky things like Knoopers.

Admittedly though, the Aldi by my parents’s house in Houston has much higher quality produce, so that seems to be very location dependent.

You aren’t eating lead for his kids. You’re eating lead for your friend.he has everything to lose and you have nothing left

ALL star wars is a soap opera. It’s all a spaghetti western set in space

Its a soap opera plot line without any of the backstory that makes soap operas entertaining. Anakin saying “I don’t like sand” monologue is poor because its corny, but it does operate to help us understand Anakin as a character.

The original series wasn’t that great either. But they were all children’s movies that were popular with children, and those children saw all the flaws in the next run when they were adults. In the OT, Luke is such an insufferable little bitch who is useless at everything except flying until RoTJ, where he takes this massive messiah complex.

Buying homes is a bit different imo. My parents made it clear every time we moved that the fridge and washer/dryer were moving with us. One time we had someone try to say they wanted my dad’s Big Green Egg included and he literally told them to fuck off. However, every new build home they bought came with a fridge, microwave, and stove.

My brother’s first character was an Argonian and he used to hide in a Whiterun shed, take his clothes off and say “Hey Lydia, wanna see my little lizard?”

It’s cool. He married Lydia

I think you’ll find it was Pol Pot that targeted people wearing glasses

I know it’s a gravy boat, but i would love to have a Bisto coffee mug. Unfortunately no one stateside knows what Bisto is so the impact would be lost

I remember going to a movie for s friend’s birthday when i was 8 and we all lost our shit seeing the trailer for Revenge of the Sith. But all the movies coming to theaters now are shit so i never go to any movies, which also means i have no clue how to figure out when a good movie is actually coming to the theater.

My dad worked for an anchor tenant when i was in highschool. 7/10 of his stores were in malls with only the big box stores, nothing in the small store fronts

There are replacement “lifestyle centers” and whatnot now, but the iconic mall from the 80’s is essentially dead. Most of them only had anchor tenants (Macy’s, Kohls, Dillards, Sears, JC Penny’s) 15 years ago when i was in highschool, and that trend has not gotten better.

Malls all died out 10-20 years ago with the advent of online shopping. Malls were all at the outskirts of town and their rents kept driving higher and higher, running small local businesses out. As online shopping gained traction, people decided they would rather wait a few days for what they wanted rather than deal with the hassle of driving 45 minutes to the mall for a few things.

Because they were never allies, they both just want to end US hegemony over global finance. They have veey different and often adversarial long term domestic and foreign goals.

C does have 4 sides and 4 corners and all of its corners add up to 360°, same as A since the interior angles of all quadrilaterals add up to 360°

Sanctions don’t mean you cant trade. It just means you can’t use the sanctioning body’s infrastructure to do so. Just because you don’t agree with the trade doesn’t mean it is illegal or even illicit. Or do you think the US should have full control over global trade?

Is it smuggling when Cuban cigars are sold in the EU or Canada? Would the Saudi government call it smuggling when Irish Whiskey is shipped to Nigeria? Countries have no control over what other countries can trade with each other, especially if both countries have already been effectively cuttoff from saod country’s financial institutions

Doesn’t change the fact that mutual trade between neighboring countries is the opposite of smuggling.

So when does that grinding start? Because i have yey to see any of the most heinous actors of our time see any consequences
