Vegetables are really bad at rowing though.

Chess at pro level is brutal. One can get mentally mauled if the adversary has a superior, trained for cruel psychological warfare, mind.

Men just don’t stand a chance.

Because I’m not a redneck who only watches and understands news about the weekend chicken fight in his own backyard?

What do you mean with that? Nothing can be compared to the USA? Is USA perfect then? Brazil has universal free healthcare too. It doesn’t mean Brazil is better than the USA in every possible aspect. Don’t be afraid of comparisons.

So because USA is better than Russia in many things, then free healthcare is bad because Russia has it and the US doesn’t?

It’s this black&white mentality that creates all stupid polarization of opinions, you know?

The article does say free insulin paid by the government. We have that in my country (Brazil), even for foreigners, but my first thought was that in the USA not even citizens get that.

This headline might be confusing for Americans. Free insulin?

Well, if the loophole works, it’s not like burning tons and tons of fuel for nothing has any downside or consequences at all, right?

That’s sad. I hope these comments are not from fellow Brazilians.

The comparison with the Dominican Republic is even more emblematic, because they started as equals (same island, divided between France an Spain in 1697). There has been no charitable colonizer, but there really seems to be a trend of France being the worst.

Is there a “colonizer” rank, ordered by average HDI of colonized countries?

My guess would be England, Spain, Portugal, then France far behind. (only the longest colonization period counts)

A single person instance, not federated, and isolated. I can post, comment and moderate. Nobody can downvote me, NOBODY! :-)

I do think OP intends to federate though.

Interesting; I follow a motovlogger (Itchy Boots), and she is currently travelling across many African countries. After a while my wife and I noticed that there was a clear tendency of countries where she spoke French being the dirtiest, poorest, having the worst infrastructure and corruption.

Same with Haiti (French colony) vs Dominican Republic (Spanish colony).

Way to go, France!

The collective imbecility steadily creeps backwards in terms of being able to accept that other people can have different opinions.

Funny rollercoaster reading this.

As a Brazilian, first I was sort of proud and intrigued; “wow, they were really desperate to get here”. (why?)

…Then I read they actually thought they were going to Europe. (haha, c’mon, check the ship’s route before you do that)

…And that two of them asked to be sent back to Nigeria after finding out they were in Brazil. (now I’m sort of offended)

That’s a ludicrous idea, why would they put humans diguised as sun bears? They’re obviously racoons disguised as bears.

Well yes.

Your title uses “instead of”. “Instead of” means a replacement, not a coexistence, let alone a 10% participation.

The original title doesn’t suggest that.

Quite vague. Nonhuman biologics can be anything. Grass, bacteria, mold, cats…

Noneartly biologics would be more interesting.

Multiple casualties? In a war? How come?

Yeah, twisting everything into class conflit babble is the balanced way to think.

Yep, that’s the agenda; it’s the vegan agenda disguised in an environmental piece.

If it was purely environmental, it wouldn’t group “meat” and “vegetables” in a naive way like that.
