@juryrigging I believe its 12.6% so 13% is rounded up, for memes

Hmmm

Oh look at that im a xeno now

Huzzah

welcome to the Xethnostate, citizen

Horay hopefully no religious fanatics who swear fealty to a guy in a golden chair don’t kill me

That be unfortunate

No, we have Weez

Is that heresy I here?

Xethnostate

You're not in the Xethnostate.

So I’ve been lied to

You do know the difference between jury rigging and jury tampering, right?

It's pretty massive.

Ik

One is a bumblefuck means of fixing something with whatever is on hand the other is rigging a legal court

Juryrigging is a janky as fuck repair job

It’s taking your car to cousin Boris and he use vodka to clean engine

The original term was Jerry rigging, and was a slur against German soldiers

Jury rigging is a bit older than that, mate.

As a term for janky repairs it's not

Juryrigging picked up the same use as Jerry rigging because, say Jerry with a southern drawl

As a term for repairs with what's on hand it dates back to at least the late 1700s

“Are you telling me gasoline doesn’t help put out fires?” - cousin Boris

If anyone's wondering, ubermensch started this with a deleted message about trusting someone who rigs juries.

How different would China be right now if the Kuomintang won the Chinese Civil War?

Not much I suspect

Tho I’d prefer a nationalist win over a communist one

Same

If i was the leader of my own country,i'd recognize Taiwan over the PRC and tell Beijing to go fuck themselves

The Us didn’t recognize the communist government until 1979

Was it a mistake for Nixon to visit the PRC in 1971?

Not really considering be a bit more politically inconvenient to not recognize the PRC compared to like some small power

Like Palestine

So Robert Mugabe is dead

I ain’t shedding tears

Same

Thank God Mugabe is dead

Make Rhodesia Great Again

Was he still in power before he died?

No,i think he stepped down two years ago
