“Encountered”? I was raised on that shit. I was bewildered the first time I encoundered a printed graphic sleeve, and learned that some people spent shelf space on tapes with only one movie each on them…

What an appropriate setting to play Empire versus all other concerns! This is why we can’t go to China to beg them to take away Trump’s Duplos, but you do you, Pooh Bear!

Looking at her hands, I don’t think she’s a teen, but my only problem with that is that she might get fewer views without the tag(on redgifs - I’m not trying to criticize OP’s word-choice).

Don’t care how old she is, she could break into my house, destroy or take all my stuff, and break me any way she likes(well, physically, preferably), and I’mma say THANK YOU!*

*Still filing a police report within a few hours- I’m not that kind of charity.

Those made 1000x more sense.

Oh God, they can’t even do prepping right any more.

No, they live off eating paper. Crunchy little rectangles with pictures of royalty on them.

Seriously, why won’t anybody play nice with us? It’s a mystery…

The simple math is, for almost every forced-laborer “blocked”(real-speak: denied entry, or deported upol discoveryd…), China will bring-in a CCP shill. If the forced-laborer isn’t qualified to do the work, then why try to smuggle them in? … but are only those qualified to do the work “worthy” of asylum? Once you’ve ensured they get paid appropriately(by China…) and treated with respect, they are no longer forced-labor…

… but yeah, x workers are going to be required to do the work. If a portion of them are “accidentally” liberated from hellish conditions back home, and their oppressors jailed, how is that not a win?

Save some (more)Uyghurs and arrest some human traffickers, versus force China to bring-in only spies and shills, because the best way to solve a problem is to deal with oppressors so long as they agree to leave their worst-off victims back home.

Yes, my way you end up with more bodies, and resources to house and feed imprissoned traffickers, but that’s why you send China the bill. It could ultimately be cheaper for Canada to do the right thing.

… or, you know, grant them asylum, and arrest individuals involved in the human trafficking of these people until China stops sending human traffickers?

Dead ringer for the first girl to insist on showing me she could bend over backwards, in her kitchen. I straight out just blurted “I can’t tell the difference between showing off and flirting!!”

Its amazing to think the UAE and/or Oman went with opposing Iran rather than trying to get in on this, vs appeasing a genocidal ethno-state neighbor and a super-powered toddler-state on the opposite site of the planet.

I knew eBay fucked-up, but $55 billion? That’s couch-change to a lot of businesses with much worse brand-recognition. At least their turn-key operation isn’t over-valued by orders of magnitude…

Like Free-to-Play games and Casinos, they “make their real money” on whales. Go step foot in a Best-Buy; 95% of the time, the employee-to-customer-ratio is about 5-to-1, or worse.

To be clear, I think basing one’s business on that concept is delusional at-best, but its what a “profitable” retail chain has looked-like to share-holders for at least the last 30 years.

Mounting a successful invasion of a sovereign nation 101: Give the saner nations of the world the longest heads-up possible, so they can help your intended victim prepare.

This is pretty much me. More or less with consoles as-well.

That special definition of “My country” where he means land he hasn’t even visitted in decades, if ever, but thinks he owns, and magically its all the people living there who have no rights to it.

This is literally what’s happened until now and a big part of how we got here. The only things the government knows how to do about this is to arrest people, both parents and children, and make schools more like prisons.

It was always going to be a pain in the ass, and likely an expensive one. Took 40 years to make clear that leaving them alone would be worse.

I don’t care about the 25th because this joker will let Congress go back to business-as-usual, pretending they’ve fixed anything. No. you morons own Orange man and the office you’ve inflated to insane levels of power over the last few decades.

If the 25th fails, there’s a chance they walk any of the various expansions of the Executive Branch’s power back at all. Otherwise, Congress is perfectly happy to let one man have the power to bomb other countries without so much as a nod to Congressional Authorization; To their way of thinking, its plausible deniability, when really its little-if-any short of saying “The King Must Crusade, after all”. Basically a declaration of on-going war against the world, and they’ve gotten by with pretending otherwise for too long.
