A Mormon church is a weird target. What are the chances this is chud on chud violence? Mormons are weird and weren't really viewed well a lot of American Christians until recently.

They have a few links to see the data on the website and it looks like young people and 30-44 years old are below average for time spent alone but have noticeably gone up. Older people were already pretty high and remain higher than young people. Young people were the only ones that really could increase like that without a mass movement of boomers becoming shutins.

Everything only lasts a few days in the news cycle of the modern spectacle. He will live on in the ramblings of our racist uncles though.

It's basically an American restaurant themed around being a rustic country general store. It has a shop at the entrance for buying shitty little knick knacks among a few other things.

There isn't really anything good about it. It was founded by a shell executive so that they could have a restaurant chain by gas stations which makes sense based on the one near where I grew up. Recently they changed the logo and American culture is brand worship so the chuds are very upset.

Also, kkkracker barrel.

It feels weird that it's staying in the news instead of just being dropped. I'm just wondering if this is Capital (or the deep state or whatever else) trying to discipline Trump. Pushing this is probably the only thing that could cause real fractures in MAGA and clearly define who is a trump cultist.

Time will tell and it might just get dropped entirely when the next scandal inevitably starts.

Basically the closer the country was to Germany the better it did for different reasons. Czechoslovakia had a better privatization scheme and stronger industry that they would want integrated with German capital so it wasn't looted and destroyed by international capital. Poland was given support and subsidies to be a strong NATO bulwark on Russia's border. The Baltic states had spent centuries polishing german horse cocks so there were many people in exile after WW2 who worshipped Germany/the west and were fanatically loyal and pro NATO when they came to power and were rewarded for that loyalty. The other soviet republics had to be punished, especially the Russians. Yugoslavia was destroyed by the wars and NATO so there was nothing to really care about.

I'm not a book nerd but Hakim on youtube has many videos on the fall of the European communist states along with book recommendations.

Also, I'm partially confused by the question since you mention Warsaw Pact countries and then want a focus on the western USSR. Regardless one of the most visible things in statistics is that on basically any graph of population you can see once capitalist infection starts those countries immediately had a population decline because people left the economic chaos of shock therapy, people stopped having kids, and others just fucking died. Ukraine is the worst in that regard where it turns on a dime from strong population growth to strong decline.

Just had a limited conversation like that with my mom. She's something like a generic Democrat at this point but she hates Trump and realizes that our extended family members are racist assholes and didn't push back when I showed my hatred for this shithole country. Tomorrow I think I might break the be normal rule with one of my cousins and say our politicians should be taken out back and shot like old yeller.

Very thankful I saw a chapo.chat link on a different subreddit within a week of the ban and got to lurk here for a few years. I definitely would not have found this place since I'm always online but in a different way than a lot of you guys.

Anyway, happy anniversary.

congratulations

Exporting garbage to other countries is such a weird and sickening thing. It's also adds more waste and pollution to this consumerist society because we can't throw away our own trash and need to ship it half way around the world for it to be someone else's problem.
