Ah I didn’t know lard only came from pigs. I thought it was a general descriptor of like solid fats.

there is no practical benefit to adding fats to bullets right? can anyone comment?
no I think it’s, um actually, only when parents tell their kids in china / s <— to indicate it’s sarcasm
maybe bring back totalitarian and use it against countries like the US? have a word that, like Huey P. Newton said regarding coining the term ‘pig’ for police, “highlights the contradiction”, in this case, between the selective usage of a word and it’s inherent meaning, none of which is understandable without contradictions from a prescriptive linguistic context
wait i have something relevant to say too…

Yeah fair enough. They’re too busy sowing the seeds of their own destruction and can’t see the forest for the trees.
In Econ there’s opportunity cost, I think that’s what companies end up losing, the greater profit they could have made (if they were like a bit less short term oriented).
I wonder if someone could make a series of movie trailers for each republic with the executive producer being the US and having all sorts of poor takes.
Executive Producer: “No, no, we need LESS military oversight for the next one, SPEND MORE on practical explosions, the audience will love it!”
Director: “But sir, we already had half an hour of explosions, the most common criticism was about the confusing plot which was always interrupted by explosion sequences.”
Executive Producer: “We need those to keep the audience on their toes! We can’t plan explosion scenes we need to let the invisible hand of the free market decide and let us know!!”
I had no clue there were several republics kinda like France (I think?), I searched Wikipedia and it said that they are on their 6th republic, not 5th. Maybe you are off by one? Either way it’s a poor mark on the country and its governance.
I don’t understand the comparison to Cuba, do you mind explaining?
I think the poster was being sarcastic, in agreement with you.
Yeah, thanks for clarifying.
