So it’s abbreviated as Ontario, CA? That’s great.

That’s not really what the US military ever does though, right? Normally they lumber in with bombers and poorly armoured jeeps and build a big base with a Burger King in the middle of it, then continue to bombard the surrounding countryside for about a decade or two before leaving in disgrace.

Yeah, the bills don’t circulate normally anywhere except the US. Even in the couple of countries that are dollarized that’s not normal circulation and is quite precarious. The digital dollars only exist in the computers of bankers and are basically spreadsheet placeholders for whatever currencies are actually used at the origin and destination of whatever material thing is being traded around the world.

If by “a few years ago” you mean 1975. NASA has been making promises that it can’t keep for about half a century now.

There’s a lot of tragedy in that photo. The massive ecological waste of suburban McMansions and luxury trucks, the inequality of these bloated two-garage monstrosities while people are forced to sleep on the street, the genocide of the indigenous people who used to inhabit this land, the brutal and blood-soaked American state that rules it, etc etc etc.

Then prepare to be surprised when you play it.

It runs fine under emulation, but it’s the worst game in the series by a very wide margin.

The amount of British monarchs is also weird. Why on Earth is Charles II on this list?

I expect a shitty chain’s salsa to usually be chopped onions floating in tomato water.

About 24 years ago most of these countries didn’t follow the US to Iraq either. The big difference is the UK and Australia not going.

Bibliophile is what book lovers call themselves. I’m not sure about painting, but it’s probably also something in Latin or Greek.

I have to wonder why hydro is always left out of the solar+wind clean energy statistics. Is it just because it’s old tech?

No, when things are in high demand in the 2020s that means the just-in-time supply chain immediately fucking breaks and nobody gets anything except for scalpers who buy up the meagre supply and re-list it for five times the price.

No, the physical artefacts like this one that got all slashed up are all that will remain after Google/Meta/etc turn off their servers once the old content becomes unprofitable. Future historians will indeed call the early 21st century a dark age, because while books, sculptures, and paintings can last a thousand years, digital media in “the cloud” fucking won’t.

It’s quite difficult and/or very expensive to collect that data since these platforms deleted their open APIs. As far as most researchers are concerned this information is now basically unknowable.

“Fuck it we ball”? I don’t know that one either. Are we doing something to a ball or becoming a ball? Oh, or maybe we are going to a ball, like Cinderella?

This is just someone saying they’re on holiday/vacation and that they imagine there are others who are jealous, right?

Hang on, “full send/sent”? This is a new one to me. You mean you ate it, right?

Normally when a record number of Americans leave the US it’s because they’re invading another country, so I suppose this is a welcome change.

The gambling site has a taci-cool aesthetic and “MAN” is in it’s name.
