Genuinely, what is your point?

Their point seems to be that a socialist country did some bad things not inherent to any ideology, ergo communism is bad.

It's the same childish logic my old nan used to justify her racism. She was mugged by a black man in her youth, therefore she believed all non-whites were bad. Humans can be quite dim.

OMG yes. Great book! When you're done, I suggest watching Backrooms if you haven't already. They're not the same, but are similar.

Who is blaming who for what? I agree with your first comment, I'm just expanding on what I believe are the further implications. People like Trump will never feel they have "enough" leverage over others.

I'm not talking about you. I'm talking TO you about the person you're responding to.

Not an American but lived there for some time. Just tip. It's how these servers survive. Your not tipping helps nothing.

There's an expression: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Sure, you can visit other countries and refuse to respect local customs, but that's an awfully American attitude. You're not one. Be better.

At the risk of repeating myself...

It's an excellent movie about a very interesting individual. I've always been fascinated by Louis Wain and how his art reflects his descent into schizophrenia.

This simply gives the Trump Administration and future administrations more leverage to get Meta to do its bidding.

Lol I think you mean "bowel" mate, though I think we can all agree we love gay bowls too.

I hope you're right. I'm looking at €669,90 for 64gb DDR5. In other words, no new PC any year soon, and my current is getting older. I hope it lasts.

Before you get too invested, check this bloke's comment history. They're a troll, and a poor one at that.
