US can’t be relied on for the next four years, at minimum.

Probably Optimistic :(

I don't think the US has been reliable since 2016 at the latest. And honestly after this... I don't think it ever will be again.

When I get home from work, I plan on smoking every last plant in my house.

If I don't die from smoke inhalation, at least I won't care about anything for the rest of the week except snacks.

People seem to think that the UN is a military force that is supposed to go in and secure democracy around the planet...

It's basically a chat room for all the countries to talk for everyone to hear. That's 99% of its job. And it does it quite well.

The problems occur when individual members decide "nah we don't give a shit about the UN right now" and usually it's the big ones that ignore it. Russia, US, UK, etc

Providing nothing that isn't covered by other areas of the business, while profiting off the misery of others?

Was this navy ship captained by a woman safe?

He chose it because if you add his 111 years to Frodo's 33, you get 144 or "one gross dozen" although to refer to the gathered hobits as a "gross" would be rude indeed! (more book references for those who haven't read them)

You know, you just might be on to something.

I doubt they have at any point bothered to look at a weather report though.

Come on, Flying.... You knew that the minute you named them Coca-Cola Disney Unilever.

I mean can you just imagine the teasing we would have heard on the playground with "cola"? Everyone knows colas are the lowest soft drink.

Do we watch different Curling, or do you just have a different definition of "little"?

stones

Ah there we go...

Well I mean... I sure hope not. I personally don't see any reason to think it's anything other than China trying to gain support from nations that are on the fence or don't care about them, which to be clear is not a bad thing. They're free to pursue any relations they desire, and the other nations are free to do the same. Hopefully the politicians involved are truly working for the betterment of both countries.

That said, the person making the shady deal would clearly say "it's not a shady deal", and the person duped by aforementioned shady deal would obviously not want to admit being duped by said shady deal. So everyone involved has every reason to say this anyway.

In other words: a lot of words to ultimately say nothing. Much like this comment.

When someone starts a sentence with "the Bible says", I just interrupt them with "nobody gives a shit what the Bible says, this isn't your church"

It's usually enough for them to figure out continuing the discussion isn't going to go smoothly and move on.
