When things go wrong? When things go right for coal and gas plants, the "boom" is a humanity-threatening event that already in its extremely early stages has been named the Holocene Extinction.

It's because you're not using the same muscle groups. Simply set the pickle jar on the ground, put your power foot on the jar, grip the lid, and heave with your entire lower back and glutes in the open direction

There's also a pity mechanic in which your chances of waking up on a Wednesday increase the longer it's been since the last time

it must be nice, living a life so simple that you can build your reality by only listening to the people who come from a place you like.

the racist thing is Americans calling literally any other country in the world "authoritarian" because the way they do it doesn't involve police apprehending you for failing to pay your Big Mac microloan

America has 4% of the world population and 25% of it's prison population. Over a quarter of our prisoners are held with no trial and a majority are held on nonviolent charges. America has the largest military in the world and has used it to exact more death than any other nation on the planet today. America has the Patriot Act, the TSA, the CIA, and the FBI. Any discussion about authoritarianism that does not start and end with America is an unfounded attack on every other nation mentioned, and that's usually gonna be american exceptionalism and prejudice against whoever the other nation is.

Social credit, insofar as it actually exists, is barely any different from a criminal record, and certainly less restrictive than that combined with a FICO score and an advertiser's profile.

social credit is just gen Xs' and millennials' rebrand of orientalism and yellow peril. Boomers just called it called it China's tentacles. It's beaten to death and it wasn't funny when it was brand new. Find new material to veil your orientalism please, this one's all used up

Taiwan claims way, way more territory than that

You don't like China claiming Taiwan? Surely if illegitimate land claims are bad, you have issues with Taiwan for claiming China, Mongolia, Russia, Pakistan, India, and more, right?

friend. You're so worried about a one party system because you're thinking of American parties. You know how Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders are both ran under the same party? In a proper single party state there's more range than that.

dyed purple hair is a right-wing dogwhistle for "SJW man-hating feminist", who are more often leftists than they are liberals. You don't have any issues with social justice or feminism, do you?
