Media reports linked one of the suspects to the nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) - which commands as much as 18% support in national polls, behind only the centre-right opposition - although the party itself insisted it had nothing to do with such a group.
Cool cool cool
Oh hey look, its the marvel cinematic universe
American culture is still seen as something to emulate in many parts of the world. Hopefully less so after the next four years.
We used to export our culture to our satraps in Mexico and Germany and Japan and Korea. But now we tend to import more than we export.
I don't see this as cultural though. It's just a money thing. People ask because they know their customers will say yes. That's all there is to if
Only right wing socialists are electable. Billions of dollars in propaganda told me so.
A big part of the election was Republicans screaming at Democrats for being too feminine and Democrats retorting "That's good aktuly".
But compared to Biden's promise of college debt relief, climate change relief, child care and reduction of health care costs, that didn't motivate people who weren't heavily invested in the fight. Also, plus, too, we rolled back all the universal mail in voting from 2020. As Dems were the most likely to mail in their ballots, they suffered disproportionately

Kamala Harris won 28%, while Donald Trump won 47%, according to unofficial results from the city clerk, reported by the network.
Metro Detroit is home to the nation's largest concentration of Arab Americans, with a large proportion of them living in Dearborn.

Responding to this loss with “the only way to win is to be racist” is basically just giving up and saying the fascists are right.
And the joke is that Dems will still lose on these terms, because they are already branded the Woke party. Might as well try and out-racist the KKK as the GOP. It's not a race Dems are in a position to win. All they can do is shed even more of their base to Jill Stein and Uncommitted.
Tipping doesn’t exist here BTW, because it’s idiotic
Idk where "here" is, but I've seen plenty of foreign countries's restaurants adopting tipping, particularly at higher end establishments, as business owners realize they can just ask for extra and get it.
Thinking we'll still have electricity for computers in 2034, and it won't all be diverted to the AGI Factory at the center of town that handles all the meme generation/posting/aggregating is kinda optimistic.
it is bad policy to decide on policies with a coin flip
A/B testing is a classic tool for evaluating a range of options for best results
Good news for Korea and Japan, I guess
Certainly their last decade of offerings
