Yeah, I’d say if California was in Europe (having been to Europe and looking at the comparison to China), it would be a fairly large European country.

My mental conception of California was a lot larger.

Every post is dripping with seppo phrases. Sad.

If California was a country it wouldn’t even be in the top 50.

For my context, you could fit five Californias into my state and it’s not even the largest state in Australia.

Geez I never realised how small California is

Quick someone get on the phone and tell Gorbachev before he destroys the USSR

Australia has huge reserves of rare earths.

Australia also has huge reserves of cobalt too, but it’s cheaper to fuck up the DRC with violence and pollution, force kids to mine it and then write articles hand wringing about the ~ moral implications of modernity ~ without mentioning there are viable alternatives.

I’m sorry but you clearly don’t know anything about some of the mechanisms available to US prosecutors.

A grand jury, for example, is conventionally convened in secret without a judge or defence to dispute any of the evidence provided.

The entire point of RICO laws for another example was to drastically reduce the evidentiary burden to prosecute high ranking organised crime figures.

You can probably get him on something with RICO, those laws are fucking wild

It’s a great precedent, the next one to successfully steal an election will be able to quickly purge congress if anyone complains

She remembers driving with me in the carseat as her beater Ford Focus was floating down the road lmao and that there was really no help for the people there after.

Didn’t the police only just end up killing a bunch of people in Hawaii by stopping them from evacuating?

Similarly in Australia there were a lot of symbolic battles that never resulted in serious injury or death.

That said I wouldn’t characterise pre-invasion Australia as great, most of the country is pretty fucking hard to survive in (let alone over 60k years of climate change)

Same in Australia

They banned protests and waving a Palestinian flag was evidence of protesting.

South Korea mostly burns it or turns it into fuel (to be burned later)

How so?

Own an idea for 14 years, own a person for life

The starting salary for teachers is $85,000 and the for a top of the scale teacher it’s $122,100 (~$80k in yank dollars).

The rusted-on people are still an issue
