Not everything can be washed though. Pre-processed foods for example. I try to get mine as ‘natural’ as possible I.e. still whole, but it’s not always feasible because someone else might provide pre-cut fruit/veggies

When saudis don’t give us oil: “remember that time when they hacked a journalist into pieces?”

When saudis give us oil: “we need to stand with them if we want to protect democracy in Asia”

One of the funniest things that made me literally laugh out loud was during the 2020 election’s Q drops.

This is supposed to be a guy, or guys, who are at the highest levels of government who says that politicians are sacrificing children to Satan, killing them, abusing them, selling their souls to China, JFK will return, and a holy war between good and evil is happening…

… but Trump can’t do it alone. He needs the help of patriots. And Q says the only you you can help is by… voting on Election Day.

you cannot trust Chinese open source software because they could’ve hidden zero day vulnerabilities and we, the superior westerners with superior technology, simply cannot detect it before using it

wait until you hear about my dream involving my grandma

Normal people: “ thank you comrade daughter for wanting me to be part of your life and share your happiness with me.”

White conservatives: “ did you know my daughter has a crush on me? She kept telling me to brush her hair…”

Because it’s easy. Criminals seek the target of least resistance, like how old cars are stolen a lot compared to luxury sedans with a bunch of tracking and security vehicles.

A lot of the shooters are racist towards black Americans but they would never try a mass shooting in some Bloods infested neighborhood because they know the residents will shoot back. Others are racist towards Hispanics but they wouldn’t dare step foot in Juarez to do a mass shooting because they’ll end up headless on a sidewalk. So they go after people who have never caused any problems to anyone

Not to mention, like many serial killers, they’re have delusions of grandeur and believe they’re on a mission that can only be achieved through violence. Not to mention, they also want to achieve maximum shock value. Eviscerating a woman’s guts and leaving her in the sidewalk for joggers to find is old fashion. Targeting old people and elementary school children and live-streaming it is the new normal.

Rich and powerful people rarely get hurt.

This is why leftist terrorism is rare. We have seen it in the past during the Cold War. The RAF killed politicians and fascist leaders and foot soldiers. The Japanese Red Army killed some civilians and hijacked planes, but they were part of a larger political goal that was immediate (I.e. the civilians were Israeli, the plane was going to North Korea). The Italians went on bombing and shooting campaigns during the Years of Lead because fascists targeted them with the help of NATO and the CIA. Most leftist terrorists target actual people with influence and power. That’s why they’re prioritized more than fascists when it comes to repression.

The ugly truth that liberals don’t want to acknowledge is that there are only two ways for gun control to happen in the US. 1, if minorities start to become not only armed, but also resistant to the American institution. The conservative minorities who own guns don’t do squat to threaten any power. Or 2, rich people and their children are targeted by mass shooters. The rich will always prioritize themselves so if things get out of hand, they have no problem violating any gun rights. 2 will be unlikely to happen, but 1 is quite literally how gun control came to existence in the US, so it might happen again.

It’s a credit system for businesses. It’s for consumers but I think mainly for other businesses to assesses the trustworthiness of individuals who own a business. So if you own some clothing shop known for reselling used clothing as new, you’ll be dinged and be punished. But I believe that only local governments have implemented it, so it’s like a few places have it but westerners extrapolated to Xi watching your every move

Literally 99% of Chinese “propaganda” in movies is just the movie has an important plot progression that takes place in China for like 15 minutes and no one is spewing hatred for Chinese people. Maybe someone speaks mandarin for a few seconds. Then it transitions back to the west. Americans lost their mind over it because god forbid your globetrotting brain rot take place in the largest country for a few scenes.
