Doesn’t matter if America is the past. English is the language the world has settled on as the lingua franca. Yes, there are advantages to dealing with China if you speak Mandarin, but good luck trying to raise your voice while dragging out every syllable and getting yourself understood anywhere outside of China.
There’s 2 versions released this decade, which are you referring to?
Well yes we do, ICBMs are generally associated with nukes because their sheer cost normally makes them impractical for standard explosive payloads.
You appear to have confused crime with homicide. You called them DEADLY, not high crime. Their homicide rate per 100k pop is about 8, barely above the US. For comparison, Jamaica is rated as the world’s highest homicide rate at 53 per 100k, and all the top 10 are above 25 per 100k. Laos is barely above average.

Maybe cure your own ignorance before projecting it onto others?
PS: Do you think you’re the only person on lemmy raised in the 3rd world?
It was the actual author, who got annoyed that people couldn’t recognise satire. Not much different from today, in other words 😂
2020 was highest ever in history (or at least the last few decades). 2024 was slightly less than 2020, but still taking 2nd place in raw numbers. To call that ‘low’ is extremely inaccurate and misleading.
Source? Because all the numbers seem to agree on it.
Doesn’t quite recapture the feel of the 1st season to me, but still a great watch
Deadliest? What junk media have you been consuming?
Occasionally I wonder if I should unblock .ml to get more content, then I always remember why they’re blocked in the first place.
Apple has about 259 shows and movies compared to Netflix’s approximately 18,000.
Given genre preferences, that’s about 20 watchable shows, then?
Just a note, it is actually so offensive to a woman’s role in society that many (most? I have no idea) scholars think that it was so over-the-top that it must have been meant as a critique of the then-status-quo.
The author outright stated that it was meant as a critique in the 2nd edition, so there’s no need to guess :)
The question as always is, where should the line be drawn? And realistically, the parents are the ones with the most say over the decision, so it’s never going to be a purely logical choice.
This starves society of resources to overcome far more pressing social needs like building hundreds of thousands of units of public housing.
Given current events, defense IS a social need. The US can no longer be trusted to defend the western world, given how willing they are to elect idiots who will sell out to the highest bidder. Anybody who shares a border with Russia needs to get their military in tip top condition.
It’s not like there’s a single standard way to spell it
So… you unilaterally decided to change the method of comms you and your friends had been using, then decided they were bad friends for not falling in line?
See the linked article elsewhere in this post, they had to wear safety goggles around it when it was in use.
This is one joke I didn’t get, and still don’t. Anybody care to explain?
I believe the original purpose of that phrase, was to differentiate between people who act on those attractions, and those who understand it’s wrong and refrain from doing so.
