Shockingly the CPI (customer prices index) has risen again to 3%, nobody in the country could've predicted this happening.

Of course, this doesn't mean much of anything when prices seem to be entirely arbitrary, as seen by this monstrosity

Alongside non-existent wage growth

Results entirely in the obvious choice to get out of this country as fast as I can. But the next vote will fix things surely.

plz

I can't clip it or timestamp youtube movies. Even had to use the console to make a snippet because of the DRM but it starts at 6:10

Yak yak yak... Get a job!

Some dangerous nooooticing going on here , I hope our favourite jannies @kallocain-addict are keeping a tight leash on the potential hate speech!

Whenever I go out in public I am approached at least once or twice by a guy hitting on me or just complimenting me. Every single time it's a black or Latinx guy. The only times I have ever been cold approached in public by a white guy, it's been an older one, like 45+.

Curious... What requisites does rs_x believe could be the cause for this phenomenon?

I feel like it has less to do with ethnicity and more to do with class. White-collar guys don't usually approach random women on the street, that's a blue-collar guy's game.

Contradicting /u/blondbutginger 's lived experience here...

Yeah you have a point. It's not usually middle/upper class black men hitting on me, it's bums.

Here's our resident cute twink's contribution:

it's cultural, latinx culture for example is generally much more s*x positive meanwhile contemporary mainstream white culture doesn't reward that kind of behavior (on the contrary, you are more likely to be chastised or even punished for it)

You yt prudes are just too neurotic and inhibited!! Punishing any sort of free sexual expression!! The browns and blacks sensibly revel in their lower inhibit --- ACK

Y'all can't behave.

I was considering an effort post on DRC as it's a good example of what's happening with daddies foreign policy. Can't be bothered to do an effort post today but some potential mining sites in this as it develops.

Rwanda have had a slow burning war with DRC since the 90's but the France and the US have largely kept them in check. They can quietly support their little separatist group as long as they don't try and expand the conflict beyond the eastern province they are in and they mostly ignore the war crimes. Rwanda has been using DRC resources to fuel their growth and want more.

DRC is much larger than Rwanda but it's been a failed state since the 90's and while some form of government has existed since 2005 it's limited to the West and South of the country and is very weak. Rwanda have relatively modern, for Africa, armed forces, and all the gibs they got post-genocide mean they have good infrastructure for that part of the world. Rwanda have also had the same president for 25 years who keeps "winning" with 90%+ of the vote.

When the US eyes went away the guerillas in DRC suddenly had tanks and helicopters. A couple of weeks later when no one did anything there were suddenly a whole bunch of Rwandan troops in the country and they easily took the largest city in the east. They have stated they intend to keep moving West and "liberate" the entire country.

In terms of natural resource value DRC is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It's so profoundly undeveloped, has problematic geography and terrible security that no one has been willing to take it on.

Most of the time offers like this would be absurd but this is the type of "deal" Trump loves. Hopefully he restarts the Belgian mining practices and cuts childrens hands off.

Such elite human capital, brings a tear to one's eyes

What did the mean by this?

!foidmoment !r-slurs

Excited to announce the birth of my and Alison's first child

We are struggling though and need help. The doctor keeps insisting our baby is a girl but everytime we ask they/them they gurgles or cries.

How do we inform the doctor they/them hasn't chosen thems gender yet?

It's over for rdrama

I don't know who else to tell about this but I feel the need to tell someone. For reference I'm a 25 year old guy who hasn't shit himself since he was a kid. Anyway I got up this morning as usual, left the house to go to work and as I was approaching the train I felt the sudden urge to shit. I searched around for a cafe or something with a bathroom I could use but couldn't find anything. It happened in that moment of complete defeat. For a split second I thought I was farting, but no. Naturally I ran home as fast as I could, trying to hold my pants up as much as I could for fear of the shit (diarrhea) dripping further down my legs, and washed up, washed as much off of my butt, pants, thermal underwear, underwear and sweatpants I was wearing under my regular pants to protect myself from this horrible NYC cold. I texted my boss saying I "had a problem at home" and was gonna be about 45 min late. I put all my dirty clothes in a trash bag and will do laundry when I get home tonight.

I kinda need help coming up with an excuse for being late. I don't really know what to say and I do not want to tell them what actually happened.

how bad is your diet if you shit yourself as an adult
