I’m glad Elon is around just to show that Americans don’t have a monopoly on being absolute cringe

Sorta sick of hearing about this tbh. I’ve seen everyone reporting on this damn egg heist, like international papers even. Our hospitals are overflowing, massive numbers of schools having to close, due to one of the worst flu seasons and respiratory illness seasons in years. Kansas has the worst tuberculosis outbreak in a century. And of course there’s the bird flu news that gets worse by the day. And in terms of eggs, how about the price gouging going on? No let’s get all up in arms about people stealing (admittedly a ton) of eggs because of white suburbanites’ identification with the ownership class and their constant obsession with “crime.” Good for these people. I hope they get away and go on to steal even more eggs.

Okay I’ll have to go over that. I do know Weber and the Protestant work ethic, though I’ve never read it.

Ah yeah I was gonna say that sounds more like some weird American prosperity theology. Which idk I associate more with Pentecostalism? Or related movements

I still fail to see how this has to do with Calvinism. Liberals aren’t accusing conservatives of having some inherent essential characteristic of “sinfulness.” Well maybe they are, but they’re criticizing them based on political beliefs and actions. Which is what we do all the time

I thought election was based on nothing and there was no real way to tell if you were saved?

What is political Calvinism?

Mmw Gaza becomes the first of thiel’s “network city” crypto havens. That’s why these fascists were so obsessed with “the Palestinians could’ve had such great beachfront property!” They wanted to drive out the native population and have those who remain as laborers in their dumbass crypto dystopia.

Extremely surprised by this turn of events

Would love to hear how the US plans to do this while undergoing massive brain drain

I don’t really know how much they care at this point about the substance of trump, he is just a vessel for the desires of the everychud.

Actually they do care when it gives them a chance to own the libs by saying trump created the vaccines.

 

Yeah, so my phone is pretty much breaking and I need a new one. My mom convinced me to upgrade from my iPhone 8 to an iPhone 15 because we got a really steep discount, but goddamn I fucking hate this phone. I’m still using my iPhone 8 just because I really can’t stand the 15 at all, and the 8 was already a downgrade from the phone I had had before.

Well, I’ve wanted to get out of the Apple ecosystem for years and I think now might be the time. I feel okay about it since I really did get this iPhone 15 at a really nice discount so it’s not the hardest loss (also I’m pretty sure I can still return it, but even if not). But I know nothing about non-Apple phones. Is it possible to get a Xiaomi phone in the USA? Does Samsung still have issues with their phones exploding? Any insight is appreciated.
