It’s kind of like an older sibling that picks on you but loses their shit if someone else tries to.

1. Who are they talking about?

(Thinking through that last one they probably want a “pure” virgin)

Willful negligence is still as bad if not worse than Ignorance

Japan’s long-standing efforts to protect domestic farmers from outside competition, including limiting imports of foreign rice

Tagging so I have this pinned. I need to find a new instance

And I thought the American right was bad about “it doesn’t matter until it affects us”

Because taxes can be traced to services that should be provided to people. No one knows where the money from tariffs are going. (The rich)

Go do some research on Tiananmen Square, specifically protests in 1989.

Is that a 12-incher you’re packing in there?

Man people in here being pedantic. It’s like he said “PlayStation” and people saying “well that’s actually a PS3, not a PS1”. Xbox is generic enough it can mean the OG, 360, One, Series S/X.
