American Redditors have this bizarre kind of “grass is greener on the other side” mentality that America missed out building their cities around roads instead of rails. That trains are better in every aspect compared to cars. But to me it’s the exact opposite.

Cars are way better, easier, and more convenient form of transportation. I can store stuff in my car while I travel. I can go where I want when I want and with what I want with a car. Trains are clunky, fixed, and unreliable.

Especially with the advent of Uber, there really is no reason to invest in public transportation when private alternatives with car sharing exist.

Not only that, but cars help the economy, especially buying American made cars. Ford, GM, and Chrysler, the Detroit Big 3, come to mind.

Cars are also private. If I want to blast my music I can. Not in a train unless I want to get my ass kicked.

Overall, I love that America is so car oriented, that the interstate highway system was built and invested in, and I hope cars continue to dominate transportation here in the future and beyond.

37 anos se passaram e o Lula não conseguiu acabar com a fome.

Na minha opinião isso é algo muito difícil de acontecer. Não adianta ficar criando programas sociais, somente isso não resolve. Nova eleição, a picanha não veio, aquele tão prometido churrasco de picanha, com aquela gordurinha caindo na brasa e aquela cervejinha gelada não aconteceu. Por isso não merece ser reeleito.

Made the mistake of curiously looking up KAra's adult content to see if it was that bad and OMG. OMG EW. NO MAN will be ok with that as a partner. Sorry, you can pretend to be "modern" and, more laughably, so "in need as a single mother" (what a joke), but guess what- no man, especially not your husband and the father of your child, is going to be ok with that, literally showing your insides and parts that are supposed to be for the person you're with, not every pervert online. I didn't even have to search with any effort, videos with literally putting a giant black d*ldo in her a*hole came up. It's not tasteful or "suggestive." It's blatant and gross, but even worse is that it looks so cheap production-wise, like she just took out her phone to film herself f*ngering and boning herself on some steps and on some airbnb bed. It's so sleazy.

First of all, it's FREE, so not sure why she thinks she's some kind of baller. Secondly, thinking of your son??? THAT IS INSANE. How absolutely embarrassing and shameful for that child (and Guillermo).

YES, you should be ashamed of that. And guess what? She will be. NO matter what anyone says to be cool, no wife or mother should be doing that; it's sickening, and her own consequences will truly be the hell of living with the fact that you created some filth that will never ever go away and shamed your family, AND devalued yourself as a woman. That's the truth. That's the hell that she'll have to live with forever or else just turn demonic like that Bonnie Blue psycho.

It's too bad. She was so beautiful and elegant-- she will never be either thing again.

I imagine this will get a bunch of reactions that heavily disagree but I just want to say it.

My actual unpopular opinion is that 17 isn’t too young, Americans just baby themselves a lot. 16-18 is the time a lot of people around the world finish secondary and go into higher education but it’s Americans that complain about it so much more, even with an easy K12 and possible straightforward admission into higher ed.

Where I grew up, we had to choose a path (science, art or commercial) by 13 which tailors the classes you take till the end of secondary school then you write two big exams (sometimes 3) before going to uni.

So I also don’t think it’s insane for a 17 to choose a major. We were introduced to different career paths from a young age (like primary school) and from the beginning of secondary school, you’re expected to think well about what you want to do.

Also, in universities, you could have your first two semesters full of Gen eds (which I don’t really recommend but you can) and those classes are literally an extension of secondary school. When I started college, most of topics in calc 1, chem 1 and physics 1 were all already taught to me in sec. school outside the US.

Anyways, all this to say I don’t believe someone needs a year (what’s really the difference between 18 and 19 here?) off doing “exploring” to know what they want to do. The American job market also allows people to pivot in their career, to start their own businesses relatively easily.

Maybe some people just need a bit more perspective.

I’ve heard people say that they would save their dog over a Random baby and that is insane. This even extends to the Clancy case where people are supporting a woman who MURDERED her 3 kids. People also calling their pets their “kids” is weird as shit. People are crazy and the world is going to shit

At the Tommy Hilfiger show recently.

Examples of this are:

- Celebrating the murder of a CEO

- Categorizing all landlords as evil

- AI is evil because it (somehow) both take away jobs and has absolutely no use (see: stupid CEOs push AI for stupid/evil reasons)

- Incredible moral purity and virtue signalling in every single subreddit

- The whole r/antiwork thing

I used to search hobby subreddit for niche humour and surprisingly useful advices, but there is no escaping the above in any threads.

A lot of reddit is driven by American politics so the above are not surprises, however, it is disheartening to see my once-favorite platform become no different than the social media it used to make fun of.

Arbeite bei einem mittelgroßen Konzern und hatte mich in der Anfangszeit mal etwas reingehängt. Dann ist die Abteilung immer weiter gewachsen, auch mit Mitarbeitern, die etwas führungsintensiver sind, gleichzeitig wurden unter anderem die Home Office Regeln immer lockerer. Als zuverlässiger Mitarbeiter wurde mir dann viel Vertrauen entgegengebracht, in dem Sinne, dass ich mir einfach selbst meine Aufgaben suchen konnte, ich hatte also keine offiziellen Arbeitsaufträge mehr.

Habe in der Firma selbst viele gute Kontakte, die mich immer stützen, auch weil ich ihnen immer breitwillig geholfen habe und auch nie jemandem in den Rücken gefallen bin. Durch deren positives Feedback an das Management ist irgendwann der Eindruck entstanden, es läuft ja alles perfekt, also man braucht keine Leistungskontrollen oder so mehr und meine eigentliche Arbeit ist aus dem Sichtfeld verschwunden. Das Management bildet sich quasi ein, ich mache für diese Leute ganz viele wichtige Dinge und halte so den Laden am laufen, in der Realität sitze ich aber im Home Office und hebe alle paar Wochen mal den Finger.

Wenn dann mal ein Termin ist, wo etwas nachgefragt wird, erzähle ich einfach von Dingen, die schon vor Wochen gemacht wurden oder erfinde was. Darauf wird dann vom Management begeistert reagiert (ich kann durchaus überzeugend Auftreten und den Leuten das sagen, was sie hören wollen, bin da rhetorisch geschickt und hatte auch in meiner Jugend gerne geschauspielert).

Und jetzt kommt der Clou: In meiner Abteilung gibt es auch Leute, die richtig hart arbeiten, andauernd Präsenz zeigen, Überstunden schuften etc. Aber wenn es um das Thema Leistungsbeurteilung und Gehaltserhöhungen geht, bin ich der absolute King der Abteilung. Verdiene als normaler Angestellter ohne irgendwelche speziellen Verantwortlichkeiten 120k€ jährlich (mit etwas weniger als 5 Jahren Berufserfahrung), weil das Management meine "Leistung" würdigen will und hofft, dass ich nicht abgeworben werde. Hatte mich früher mal mit Kollegen bezüglich der Gehälter ausgetauscht und viele von denen verdienen nur 2/3 oder die Hälfte von dem was ich bekomme. Mittlerweile rede ich aus denke ich verständlichen Gründen mit niemandem mehr über mein Gehalt, um keinen Fokus oder Neid auf mich zu lenken.

Wenn mir das alles eines beigebracht hat, dann das unser Wirtschaftssystem absolut absurd und dystopisch ist. Es geht gefühlt nur darum, eine Rolle zu spielen und das Gedankenkino von den Stakeholdern ein wenig anzuregen. Was man tut ist im Grunde genommen komplett egal, es kommt nur drauf an, was das Management in seinem Kopf sich vorstellt, was man tut wenn man nicht im Raum ist. Irgendeine Arbeitsleistung zu kontrollieren hat eh keiner die Zeit dazu in größeren Firmen mit hohem Bullshit-Anteil.

Existe uma crise imensa nas democracias do Mundo.
Uma onda de lideres impopulares, que se recusam a endereçar os problemas que o mundo atual demanda.

Existem apenas 3 líderes que podem ser melhores que Lula: Sheinbaum no Mexico, Sanchez na Espanha e Xi na China (nao é democracia no caso, mas apenas para pontuar)z

É um erro histórico gigantesco que essa eleição esteja tão apertada, chega a ofender pessoas que olham de fora para o Brasil.

A polarização afetiva é um mal imenso que pode ruir sociedades inteiras.

This is absolutely nonsense. Why tf would they did this...I'm absolutely pissed

It looks like a futuristic sci-fi base, but this is a solar thermal power plant near Delingha in Qinghai Province, China. ☀️🇨🇳
Thousands of computer-controlled mirrors called heliostats track the Sun and reflect sunlight toward a receiver on the central tower. The concentrated solar energy produces intense heat that can be used to generate electricity. ⚡️
Even more impressive, some of that thermal energy can be stored, allowing electricity generation to continue after sunset.
Is this what the future of energy looks like? 🤯

Both Beth’s (Rick and Morty): Complete pieces of shit. Arrogant, self absorbed, hypocritical, etc.

Angela (Marvel rivals): There’s this interaction with Cyclops where Cyclops is trying to make a plan and Angela basically says to be silent because he’s a man. She’s a sexist ass hole. What really pisses me off is that she said this to one of the best strategists and leaders in the marvel universe just because he’s got a penis.

Imagine there was a female character with a 300+ iq and 12 phd’s and when she said something some guy just said “shut up and get back in the kitchen!”. This is that but gender swapped.

Eu sou pobre, negro e sou de direita. O motivo é bem simples do porquê pobre poder ser de direita.

Vou resumir radicalmente o que é ser direita no Brasil.

Conservadorismo: prezar pela família, pelos bons costumes, pela igreja.

Anti-criminalidade: prezar pela prisão de criminosos hediondos e criminosos contra o patrimônio. (pobre está pagando o celular em 10x sem juros e às vezes esse celular já foi roubado).

Religião: Ser uma pessoa proba, justa, honesta, temente a Deus e que possa expressar sua fé sem ser preso, censurado ou morto.

Liberdade de expressão: crime de opinião é um dos primeiros sintomas de uma ditadura.

Economia desburocratizada: diferentente do que acha os libertários, o pobre de direita não defende uma liberdade irrestrita nos contratos privados. Na verdade, qualquer pobre que tenha trabalhado de CLT sabe que existe abuso entre patrão e empregado. Contudo, o pobre de direita entende como a carga tributária brasileira é mal executada, uma vez que ele, o pobre, é o primeiro a sentir os efeitos do aumento de impostos e o primeiro a notar a ineficiência e ineficácia estatal quanto a alocação dos recursos públicos.

E, agora, talvez o ponto mais alto que fez a onda direitista emergir pós 2013 - ódio pela esquerda.

O pobre de direita ODEIA esquerdista porque a esquerda brasileira basicamente defende quase que dissolvição total do modo de vida do pobre de direita. A esquerda brasileira é contra a família, é contra a igreja, é contra a liberdade de expressão, é contra a religião dominante (cristianismo) e é favorável a impostos e relativiza (ou aborda de forma péssima) temas sensíveis como o direitos humanos do preso, o aborto, as drogas. E, além disto, a esquerda brasileira por vezes quer proibir e até criminalizar o pobre de direita a ter seus próprios costumes. A forma como a esquerda utiliza do aparato judiciário para reprimir opiniões contrárias causa uma certa aversão. Combinado a isso tudo, a esquerda brasileira goza de uma prepotência pseudointelectual que põe o pobre de direita como o burro, alienado, jumento, muito diferente do ser impoluto, culto e intelectual como ele próprio, i.e., o esquerdista. O esquerdista médio subestima a inteligência do pobre de direita. O esquerdista utiliza exemplos pontuais, mentirosos e até fantasiosos para criticar o modo de vida do pobre de direita. Exemplo: o pobre de direita diz que apoia a família, um esquerdista retruca que viu um homem conservador e cristão traindo a esposa; o pobre de direita diz que ama ser cristão e que tenta ser um cidadão de bem, um esquerdista diz que ele é burro e que a igreja é responsável por tudo de ruim na sociedade; O pobre de direita que trabalha duro, sustenta os filhos, ajuda a esposa e vai à missa aos domingos observa um ser odioso, supostamente intelectual, projetar cenários extremados na vida que ele próprio, o pobre de direita, não observa no dia a dia.
