Posted in: 7-Eleven owner restructures itself to fight takeover See in context

While those of you living in Japan may take the combini for granted, to the rest of the world Japanese combinis are nothing short of amazing and light years ahead of the rest of the world.

I would hate to see a foreign company who may not care as much about quality take over.

That said, Couche-Tard seems slightly better than some of the others. But I would still be concerned about quality.

Posted in: Austrian president appeals for calm coalition talks after far-right vote win See in context

Having secured around 29% of the vote, it would need a coalition partner to govern but the other parties have said they are not interested.

That's because the other parties are smart.

There's an old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

In other words, pay now or pay much, much more later.

You do know, Banthu, that everyone can read the news.

The Kursk incursion is doing just fine.

Russian has now lost 3 major ammunition dumps this past week. Oh and another airbase.

The Povrosk offensive has stalled.

And Russia continually kills civilians and then loots everything in sight.

The Federalist Papers (the original ones written by the founders) is very enlightening and a recommended read for everyone no matter who you are or where you live.

It explains in great detail why the founders, in their own words, chose the systems and structures they did.

Posted in: The internet used to be less saturated with misinformation and ads, more user-friendly, and populated by real people. Social media was for connecting with friends and family, not for fueling outrage. What happened? See in context

What happened? Corporations are what happened. Big money moved in and exploited it.

All it did was amplify what was already present in people.

Much like the Japanese saying, "sake-wa-hon-shin-wo-arawasu", the Internet has provided the same thing.

He supports deportation? Like that previous bipartisan immigration bill he urged the GOP block after they had agreed to it?

The man who incited an insurrection against the United State government and is a 34 times convicted felon, says what?

Maybe if he stopped calling for violence and stoking the anger and aggression, people wouldn't be responding with the same.

Exactly.

It's time to stop the Trump hate and return to civil discourse.

The man who started an insurrection deserves nothing of the kind.

Posted in: Vance doesn't back away from false claims about migrants in Ohio even amid threats to the community See in context

There's that stochastic terrorism I come to expect from the the GOP.

Meanwhile, the woman who started it all is having very serious regrets.

Newsguard, a media watchdog that monitors for misinformation online, found that Lee had been among the first people to publish a post to social media about the rumor, screenshots of which circulated online.

Lee said she pulled her daughter out of school and is now worried about her safety with so much attention on her family. She is also concerned for the safety of the Haitian community, which she said she did not intend to villainize en masse.
