This is dangerously close to baked beans on toast lol.

As it turns out, the Harris campaign wasn’t run much differently. As reported in the Washington Examiner, the Harris campaign spent upwards of six figures to build a custom set for her appearance on the Call Me Daddy podcast, which only netted about 800,000 downloads.

Apparently it was because she didn’t want to travel to where the podcast is usually hosted, so they had to build the set where Harris was at the time. Also a really inefficient way to spend money compared to what the Trump campaign did, in regards to going on Joe Rogan. Trump and Vance spent almost nothing in comparison, and got a lot more outreach and views that made them appear “normal” from the short clips I’ve seen.

Yeah I also thought that as a non American. It was probably one of the worst moves to make when running against Trump. Trump’s major appeal to a lot of people is that he’s an outsider running against the “liberal elite”. Harris being endorsed by most major celebrities just reinforces that idea.

I’m pretty sure that’s Pakistan and it’s likely because of colonisation rather than some mutual agreement.

Just needs more red and a hammer somewhere.

The South African and Indian 240V outlets don’t look too bad compared to the European monstrosities lol

Noo 240V superiority! 120V electric kettles suck.

The article is more of an overview/summary of Amin’s thoughts from 2017, it’s quite general and wider in scope than just that. But reading the full piece will place the quote in the appropriate context with regards to the US electoral system and structure.

Successive waves of immigration also played a role in reinforcing American ideology. The immigrants were certainly not responsible for the poverty and oppression that lay behind their departure for the United States. But their emigration led them to give up collective struggle to change the shared conditions of their classes or groups in their native countries, and adopt instead the ideology of individual success in their adopted home. Adopting such an ideology delayed the acquisition of class consciousness. Once it began to mature, this developing consciousness had to face a new wave of immigrants, resulting in renewed failure to achieve the requisite political consciousness. Simultaneously, this immigration encouraged the “communitarianization” of U.S. society. “Individual success” does not exclude inclusion in a community of origin, without which individual isolation might become insupportable. The reinforcement of this dimension of identity—which the U.S. system reclaims and encourages—is done to the detriment of class consciousness and the forming of citizens. Communitarian ideologies cannot be a substitute for the absence of a socialist ideology in the working class. This is true even of the most radical of them, that of the black community.

The full piece is well worth a read, and not too long.

Makes sense, the material science for the string fibres wasn’t there. Thank you for providing that context and information.

I’m just surprised that the fist cam mechanism was developed for crossbow triggers in 600BC, with the first pulleys being older than that, yet the first compound bow was only invented in the 1960s. Imagine how the history of warfare would’ve changed if someone went “hey, let’s put these on the bow”.

Just wait until BMF is unbanned…

I have a feeling Trump’s team will try bring the laptop leak stuff back into focus in the future too

That’s the reason I stopped shaving as soon as I finished high school (dress code mandated being clean shaven). By the end of grade 12 I was shaving at least every morning, it was terrible.

I tried the epilator attachment that came with my electric beard and hair trimmer set once, it was a “never again” moment lol.

He definitely voted for Trump lol

I wonder what you all think of the site now, trust me it’s been quite a journey.

The old threads, Christ…
