  • My personal favorite:

    Seriously, this is getting old. I have a fat collection of comments on this and c/Politics from 2+ years ago saying Biden was gonna flop long before Harris added fuel to the dumpster fire.

    This thread even has the classic “regardless if you didn’t vote against Trump, its 100% you’re fault that we’re in this situation”

    Yeah definitely my fault Harris’s campaign staff banned my local democrat state legislator from attending the DNC, and basically told a substantial voter base to fuck off.

    Can’t wait for the next horrendous candidate they’ll run with in 2028. Probably Newsom.












  • I don’t why people are bent over the woman president prediction not happening. It has almost nothing to do with it being a female candidate, and way more to do with actually having a quality candidate, hence why it’s still a 66% “Will have happened”.

    Obama actually wasn’t the DNC favorite, but he had a popular campaign which is why he succeeded.

    Hillary and Kamala’s campaign can be summed up as a flaming pile of garbage that wouldn’t have made any difference in polls had they been males.


  • I tried bubble tea a solid 7 years before it took off in the USA, in the USA. The owner of the store unfortunately closed several years before it blew up, and I felt really bad that the dude was ahead of his time.

    I also tried Adeni (Yemeni) Chai and Coffee from the first Qawah House only a month after it opened. Now the product has rapidly expanded to the point where several chains are in direct and very heated competition with Starbucks which is cool.

    I don’t like sharing this because it kinda sounds less like fame and more like I’m being a hipster lol.


  • I don’t really see how this is any different than 50 or 20 years ago, they’re just stating their geopolitical stance.

    More to the point, as others have mentioned, it would be exceedingly difficult to invade Taiwan and capture their fabs intact.

    Actually it wouldn’t even matter if they captured them intact because the US could just eliminate the supply line, making it unideal for production to continue for several years.

    And unlike Ukraine, the US actually has a lot of interest and dependency on Taiwan, meaning they would get militarily invovled immediately.

    China’s only benefit would be the elimination of the world’s primary chip manufacturing, and unrestricted access to the Pacific ocean.

    I only see them doing it after they’ve achieved complete independence from Taiwan’s fabs in their own supply chain.
