He doesn’t need distractions anymore. He can do as he please, and he knows it. This is just him enjoying himself.
The claw clutching a pearl is just one variant of countless others. We have furniture from ancient Egypt and Rome which has legs carved as animal feet, so it is not a tradition that stems from the British via China.
It should be mentioned that Americans and Europeans seldom talk about the exact same thing when talking about cucumbers. The most common cucumber type in the US is a spiky bitter thing with a thick rind, while the most common in Europe is softer with a smooth rind, more watery and often much sweeter in taste (the type which Americans for some reason call the English cucumber).
Except the part where the average consumer gets to pay more for everything. That still applies.
I don’t think that China need anything from the US
They do like their money. The US basically funded their industrialisation, and keeps doing so.
It is not about the behaviour, it is about the language. Back then even though they were bullies, they did at least use adult diplomatic language. It is about the brainrot of Trumps sycophants copying his bizarre childish way of talking.
The thing is that there have to be an incentive to receive and accept that logic. Something beyond logic.
You can’t use logic against someone who is completely emotionally invested in a cause. They need to somehow be open to contradiction, which most cultists certainly aren’t.
So in that respect it could be said that you didn’t logic yourself out of it, because you had already accepted contradiction to your beliefs before you started using logic.
Spoken like a very young person. The problem is not as much the dying as what comes before it. Most people don’t just drop dead. For most unhealthy people, it is years and years of suffering from various ailments as soon as you get to a certain age.
Not as much as that Putin-nazi shithole you frequent.
Shitty restaurants just microwave their food. Real restaurants actually cook the food. You could cut out the middle man by making your own food from raw ingredients.
Go watch Goodfellas right now.
That’s not it at all. You are making it sound like the narcissistic moron is playing 5d chess.
Nothing about what you describe has even the slightest thing to do with conservatism though, so I don’t know why you would describe that as being “fiscal conservative”.
Reminds me of that old Gary Larson cartoon with the devil saying “Welcome to hell, here is your accordion”.
I am not American enough to understand what the hell OP is even on about.
No European country has it. And no neither of those laws are more specifically “19th century” than the other, considering they are both much much older than that. Perhaps you should read up on history for a bit before making uninformed blanket statements like that?
And where is your ex from?
