The hard part is, do we consider US a Russian and Israeli ally or a European ally.

it’s a trick question, they are the ally of all oligarchs.

Nice of them to be so inclusive /s

Still better than the sandwich from WWI

I don’t see your point. On average people are doing worse. Is your point that populations aren’t a monolith? Cause I thought we all knew that (with exceptions obviously).

I agree, rich people are doing just fine, it’s us plebs that are struggling.

Ideally yeah but what if big tech controls all the jobs cause they just keep acquiring other companies?

I guess we have different definitions of dumb.

Like there are reports that he was the dumbest student in many classes.

Remember the basic “intelligence” test he took and he kept bragging about the results?

It’s called being born into wealth.

You just get good at using your wealth to avoid accountability. It doesn’t take intelligence to not pay contractors cause you keep getting away with it your whole life.

There is strong evidence that he basically got saved by Russian money.

So yes, being so lucky to be born into wealth and also sociopathic enough to do whatever it takes like betraying your own country.

Had me until

but he’s not dumb.

Don’t get me wrong it was a good episode but

Man, I want to watch it again now

Ah I see what you mean, I kind of meant that with my poorly worded take on jinx being impulsive.

I thought their strategy was to work on characters in the first season and basically focus on plot in the second. I did enjoy the second season very much but it did have a different feel to it.

I personally didn’t love how they ended the first season and imo the first season third episode was the highlight of season 1. Season 2 also had episode 7 which imo was very good world building with a clever twist. So given all that I didn’t feel a big drop in quality from 1 to 2.

Maybe I would on the second watch

I too am curious, imo the headphone jack removal was the first sighs of enshitification.

Really? What did you dislike about it? My only concern was how they made jinx so impulsive and not very consistent but beyond that I thought it was pretty good.

I thought the had Roblox for that

I can’t believe it’s not mentioned:

Arcane.

It’s like across the spider verse level beautiful.

Oh and Andor was epic

Sure, one good one is bike paths, if you’ve used them enough, you get a good general layout of the neighbourhood.

Oh I’ve been waiting so this for years.

Hava what?

Yeah I think the name is a factor.

The other factor is simplicity, it’s a very American brand that is iconic.

It’s also what poor people eat, I think some part of him understands the value of being relatable, ironically though this doesn’t make him relatable.

Any good sources on this?

That’s terrible bait, surprised if it’s working.

This is what find so infuriating.

Carney said he stands behind US… you mean the country that threatened to take over yours?

So spineless…
