  • The internet has screwed with my brain in ways I get to discover everyday:

    I read that “pregamed” and the first thing that came to mind was “good! Someone invented a new way of saying the word pergan… pregan… pergen… pr… pregnant(!)”

    Then I realized it was a whole different word I was reading.






  • This is self inflicted pain. They are so used to extremely cheap gas that they don’t even consider efficiency when making or buying a car. Now that gas prices are a bit less cheap (mind you, having gas under 1€/lt is still insanely cheap), they cry because their gas guzzling trucks won’t even start without eating 5 lt of gas.

    Meanwhile, in the civilized world, where gas prices have been high for years, people have cars that run with much less gas per km and many are even passing to EVs because yeah, 2€/lt have been the normal price for a while now.

    But hey, let’s cry, because poor usians have to pay (the horror!!): around $1/lt of gas!!!









  • Maybe politically they will somehow fix some of their relations with the rest of tde world if they elect a sane president (maybe). However, the fact remains: they elected a clown twice and there’s a huge portion of them willing to elect him again. The damage is done and even if they repair their relations, it won’t be the same.

    Socially on the other hand? Yeah, they are done for. People are done with usian culture and their influence is fading rapidly. People don’t want usian products, and the want to be further from them, not closer. The US have lost their status as the “beacon of the western world”.
