Unless the EU gets rapidly closer to China I doubt it. We’ll probably see the general Euro Zone vs. China for the century.

Okay sure.
Calling other people “NPC” is cringe
- Comment on Donald Trump scores 'F' grade on economy: Poll 2 weeks ago:
I love watching all the local idiots in my town praising trump over gas prices.
Sure you can fill up your lifted dodge ram for $50 cheaper. That’s great
Too bad monthly groceries cost you an extra $100, there are no jobs, and the parts to repair that vehicle cost a fortune now.
But at least gas is lower*
*Not really something a president controls but whatever

This isn’t a new concept by any means. The argument of crime prevention has been used since governments existed

Right this does have me curious how many world religions you could juggle. I think you could practice both Christianity and Islam at the same time and still be within the rules.
Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism should be able to fit those rules as well.

At least mine had the decency to be in a dark pub hidden from the light
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 2 weeks ago:
If you look at the history you can describe no food as German as the concept of a unified German state is very modern.
At best you could only describe foods regionally, but then that’s problematic because you are using terms that were applied after WW2 as many states were regrouped.
Where does it stop?

- Comment on Neither do I, Mr. Raccoon 3 weeks ago:
You’re absolutely correct. I make a policy of not being sad when bad things happen to bad people, but all this post shows is the absolutely terrible conditions of the US prison system.
This should never happen
- Comment on until next year 3 weeks ago:
An article written in February this year said the show currently has 411 hours although their math was questionable with assumed episode length so I bumped it up to 440 hours.
So if you watch 7 hours of one piece per week that would take you just under 63 weeks. Which is about a year and 3 months. Accounting for new episodes let’s call it a year and a half.
Ways to spead it up would be skipping every intro and credits (this was in episode length calculated) and if you watch dub/read fast you can speed up videos anywhere from 1.25 to 2 times speed depending on your comfort level.
It is possible

- Comment on Accidental rapture 3 weeks ago:
Yeah sure, but when dealing with the alleged literal creator of the universe those things don’t really matter.
At what point could a God change all of that? I would imagine before Eve became a person those things were changed
- Comment on Accidental rapture 3 weeks ago:
I never got these points. If we assume there is the god that created the entire universe making these beings, then nothing to stop that God from adding the right chromosomes

See you tell me it’s a joke then you keep making claims that aren’t entirely accurate. Idk what you want at this point

Unfortunately it’s hard to tell it’s a joke these days when my country is being an absolute shithole and doing these bad things.
You could have started by saying you meant it as a joke. Tone doesn’t translate to text

Okay cool you can say that as much as you want, but there are documented cases demonstrating that this effects everyone in the US or attempting to enter.
I even acknowledged already that POC are disproportionately affected in my last comment. Why are you trying to manufactured an argument?

The US is not a safe place for anyone especially POC.
That’s the accurate statement. Yes ICE/Border Patrol are disproportionately targeting POC, but they’re not stopping there.
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 4 weeks ago:
I don’t do this for many things but i do use it sometimes
I’ve used care credit because a single emergency vet bill can be pricey and while I could empty my savings that’s not the best idea. So I just pay it off within the promotional period. Worse case scenario I am in a position to secure a traditional personal loan to completely pay off that balance at a more favorable interest rate.
I used a 0% intro rate for a European vacation once and it was great paying that off over a year.
That being said I wouldn’t finance groceries or Christmas shopping. That’s going a bit far

Every president since Clinton except Obama have been born within 5 years of each other. We’ve given the same generation power for over 30 years now
- Comment on 18 days til the deadline btw 4 weeks ago:
Makes more sense to just ask Clinton
- Comment on 18 days til the deadline btw 4 weeks ago:
Which still implies he did blow Bill Clinton, just not very well
- Comment on The British Empire 5 weeks ago:
Carrot vs stick.
Just give incentives to voluntarily have less kids. Heck, even just education, high wages, and social mobility (particularly for women) typically drops the birth rate at or under 1 child anyway.
- Comment on Obama's got jokes 5 weeks ago:
were arming the kids
No no you misunderstand and male that appeared over 16 based on drone footage was considered a target. They didn’t have to be armed. The only crime these kids committed was being outside.
Now how often do you think other people like women and younger children were killed in cold blood and written off as “appeared to be a male over 16”?
- Comment on Obama's got jokes 5 weeks ago:
I’d wager the majority were civilians.
I’ll never understand how you can justify classifying every male about 16 as a combatant. The US was literally invading other nations and killing their kids. Like specifically targeting them in precision strikes.
