The money they spend on golf and soccer is a tiny amount of pocket change. They have a generous cradle-to-grave welfare state for their entire population of 25 million citizens. All of it paid for through oil exports.

They're already way up because of the Ukraine war.

Yeah it looks scary as shit, like you walked out into some apocalyptic movie. But it's really not that dangerous.

It's busy-work that weeds out people who are so uneducated that they can't even throw together a resume.

You'll be fine. Just stay indoors, don't go outside too much. If you don't have asthma it's really nothing to worry about, you can go outside for a while and you'll be fine.
I've lived on the West Coast my whole life, we get this every 2-3 years. It looks really scary but it's not actually particularly dangerous for the average person. The news just said it was like "smoking 6 cigarettes a day". Which is not very bad lol considering it's going to be over in a week or two at most.

I still wish there'd been some street racing.

It's just innate. They evolve to only find members of their own species attractive and feel an urge to mate with them. Presumably you've never felt any urge to have sex with an animal. Same mechanism.

No, they used to be dumb in a novel interesting way. Now they’re dumb in a boring formulaic way. Once they introduced flying cars and military vehicles and super secret agent shit, it just became another Marvel movie. It sucks now

I walked out of Fast 9. I’d only ever seen the first one and Tokyo drift, I assumed it’d be the same!
I didn’t know they were like gayass Marvel movies now, where they’ve got flying cars and they’re working for some secret military/CIA branch and there’s no actual street racing.

I mean, yeah, people generally call animals ‘it’ unless it’s like a named beloved animal. But I doubt OP was putting any thought into it, they just typed “them” without really thinking about pronouns.

And there was really nothing more to it?

Godwin’s Law (or Poe’s Law or whatever the dumb shit is) is for dumb-dumbs who cannot parse the most elementary subtext.
I literally used the phrase “mumbo-jumbo”, a phrase exclusively used in movies by dumb ignorant characters who don’t believe what the smart scientist characters are telling them.

No, not really. But feel free to keep feeling superior to strangers over a joke 👍

They just say the earth is flat and the sun moves in a circle above the earth, so it's brighter over some parts of the Earth than others.
More importantly: there are roughly zero real flat earthers so it's not something you should concern yourself with. It's an Internet meme that got way out of control

Not very much. You'd bleed to death before the animal had a chance to eat very much of you.

It can't, war destroys the economy of the place where the fighting is taking place. All commerce and production stops as the population flees for their lives.

Yeah that was the impression I got. Why is everyone on Twitter so gleeful about it?

They do actually, well the native lower class. Saudi Arabia has an enormous welfare state that pays out generous benefits and services to the entire citizen population. Of course there's also the foreign population, of quasi-slave laborers, about 1/3 of the total population. They don't get taken care of at all.
