How does the World view America these days?

I'm most likely not the kind of Australian you're imagining. it still feels weird to me to even be called one.

Well obviously the abortion is against the law, but otherwise no crimes were committed. Checkmate, liberal atheist pronoun haver!

he's been grooming himself for this job for a long time. apparently since early days in CA assembly. today it was reported that he screamed loud AF in the private meeting w/republicans  "I'VE EARNED THIS JOB!!!"  lol. fucking tool indeed.

The bunch of reps that are blocking McCarthy, like Matt Gaetz and Scott Perry, make me believe they demand some kind of immunity because of some legal issues they might be dealing with. There’s no talk about this in the media, as far as im aware of, but i dont believe for a second that whats out in public is a good representation of what is actually taking place behind closed doors. In the media its about power. But to me it starts to make way more sense if a bunch of these idiots are actually trying anything to get out of a bunch of investigations.

 I guess you have to have that mind set to get to that position in the first place. I guess. I mean, lots of overnight billionaires in the tech world. Steve Wozniak threw a huge festival called the US festival back in 81. That has to count for something. He even said he never wanted to be rich.  Meaning he's never had an actual shitty job. Like George Harrison hated being a Beatle because he never had to actually work at a shitty manufacturing job for a couple years first. Where am I going with this? Im going nowhere.

programming is something worth doing even if you aren't paid for it.  he's the ultimate programmer who became a programmer and accidentally became rich after, to a larger extent than 99.999% of programmers.

Hakeem Jeffies got over 200 votes to become Speaker, even though he’s a Democrat, that hilarious.

Nah, I was waiting for it to pop up on hbomax, but looks like it's not happening in Europe for whatever reason so I'm pirating it super hard right now.

yeah. it's good. basically what you expect plus some simple short commentary/narration. it's not sensationalized or hyped.

I heard an interview this morning on WNYC with some house Republican (forget who), and he basically said that the people holding this up are angling for committee assignments (and this is not the time to do that sort of thing) and/or just interested in generating chaos.  Lol.

Honestly, this is what they fucking get when their whole ideology (conservatism) is based on selfishness.  They can't even work together for anything without saying, "what's in it for me?".

As of Jan. 1, 2023, people in Louisiana will need to present proof of their age, such as a government-issued ID, to visit and view pornographic websites like Pornhub, YouPorn and Redtube.

go to pornhub.com, then what, type in your driver's license number? can't someone under 18 just get their parents license number and use that? I get why they want to restrict minors from viewing only fans type shenanigans...but c'mon...where there's a will there's a way

gen z (or whatever generation this is) needs to discover fake ids. those were life safers in the 90s. or do what george santos did and just say you graduated from an ivy league school already
