we got bombed

we were staying (sort of) out of it until Japan got dumb

I have a theory that Europe's culture was hurt long term by all the people who valued freedom immigrating to America back in the 18-1900's

@yvaN_ehT_nioJ yeah, but Russia had a huge number of casualties, and their culture went a different path (they did suffer under communism, though)

this isn't a topic I know much about, but why would we want to save the oppressive communist government in China?

it'd be better for them to rebuild as a free country, though

plus, as long as they're communist, they will have increasing problems (housing situation for normal citizens is terrible there)

I guess it feels like a dick move to prop up the communist government for our own benefit

people are really suffering there, and the usual way communism gets overthrown has been for it to collapse economically

anyways, gotta afk, unfortunately

they own all the land

she's wearing makeup

pretty sure that's mascara

creators are for-profit

would the creator have to incorporate or something?

are superchats tax deductible? lol

@Grenade123 idk, came in part way through the conversation xP

yeah, so if the superchat is a "donation to charity," aka the creator, then wouldn't it be tax-deductible?

I know, but I was talking about if the creator was considered a charity

and yeah, I don't know how it's legal to arbitrarily take money someone gave for one thing and turn around and give it to something else

yeah, prob not worth writing off, just thought it was funny, I guess

that should def. be illegal

things can be in a tos and still be ruled illegal

like, if your lease has something illegal in it, it doesn't stand up in court, even if you signed it

we really need more judges that "get" the internet

omg yes

did you listen to the Facebook hearing? so cringe

I just kept picturing his lawyer yelling at him after xP

he took responsibility for content

maybe instead of a gofundme, you need a legal defense org

there are some orgs like that for other, very specific issues (like gun owners and homeschoolers)

run by lawyers

it could even make Google more wary about messing with people

there's a YouTuber who does legal videos, would be interesting to get his thoughts (can't remember his channel name, gah)

yeah, that's the guy

my husband really likes his videos

it's in the US, though, not England

are they missing the line between Chris Ray Gun and Rubin?

they weighted "debates and disagreements" the same as having positive connections

like, by this logic, Trump is connected to CNN

my mom called me a monkey all the time when I was a kid

it's a great way to have a miserable life

because destroying something is a way to control it

I mean, Rogan's had on a LOT of people

Tulsi Gabbard was just on (spelling??)

haven't had a chance to watch it yet

not 100% sure I want to, but curiosity will likely get the best of me

I don't think he's an easy target

he's been doing this for awhile, and he knows a lot of people

lol, that, too xP

Rubin does take some heat

we got married fairly young, worked out quite nicely

I'd say marry young, wait a few years to have kids; have a solid foundation for your relationship

plus, the non-feminist ladies are usually looking younger, so you're more likely to find them then

I think it helps a marriage if you finish that growing up together - helps you grow in more compatible ways

when you're older, you're less flexible

relationships are a choice, not an accident

you have to decide to be all in; it really changes your mindset

both have to

lol

I've got many relatives that have been married decades, most married young; nearly all gave me the advice to that marriage is about commitment, not just attraction

👍 over ten years and it just keeps getting better :)

we agreed from the beginning that divorce was off the table

no, but there are things that can affect the outcome

open communication being one of the biggest

I guess I'm just saying that it's not as random chance as people tend to think, but I do want to be careful here to not insult anyone who's had problems :/

our early relationship was a lot of arguing - we both have strong personalities - but we worked through it, and I hate to see how some people (not saying you, just people in general) give up instead of fighting, and just wait for the magical "perfect" person to come along

no one is perfect, everyone will disappoint you, you just gotta find someone who will stubborn it out with you

the longer you're together, the better you know each other, the easier it gets

@Schedrevka lol

@brunobronosky I'm sorry your experience was so crappy :/

are you bored?

yeah

:(

omg fleas suck

lol

the vacuum is your friend

and also all the pesticides

the bowl of water under a light doesn't do much

idk, didn't have the fleas here, but visited my parents when they had a problem

my sister + outdoor cats

it's easier to deal with if the animals are outside

one thing to know is that the eggs can keep hatching for months, but you can mostly get them with the vacuum

isk about all flea types, but the ones that like cats actually need to feed on a cat on order to lay eggs

so if they're cut off from their food source, it's easier to get rid of them

wow

the flea drops would probably be your best bet, but they're pricy

flea baths did help with the outdoor cats, but idk how often you have to do that

I've heard good stuff about diatomaceous earth, but never tried it

it's possible you can have technically solved the problem, but still have hatching eggs

vacuum is the best for eggs; they just fall off of pets and lay on top of the floor

good luck, bug infestations are the worst

had a pantry pest problem a couple moves ago; it was about a year before I bought flour again

yikes

these were tiny flightless beetles, found my stash of cocoa in the summer and had a grand time

didn't notice until we got home from a trip and had left the ac turned down

bugs hate cold, btw, that helps slow 'em down
