You might avoid sales tax (like GST or VAT) but you’ll be hit with an import tax instead which can often be higher than the sales tax.

When people ask why men are always fascinated by the Roman Empire it’s because it’s analogous to our current timeline. It’s a great way to parse where we are or how far we have left to fall.

Depends where you’re looking. It’s not as active as Reddit for sure, but it also has far fewer non-humans too which seems to be the majority of Reddit these days - either repost bots or even comment bots so the activity isnt real, it’s a mere simulation. I don’t fear that here. PugJesus is real. 😃

Sadly, the US has shown how broken it really is to allow Cheeto-in-chief and his cronies to work above the law and not be stopped, and a large proportion of the country is completely happy with this. The rest of the world has been shown how unreliable the US as a partner and will find alternatives. US hegemony is dead. The country has failed. Internally, it’s going to have to be restructured.

Dag, pash, mole, cobber, drongo.

Rarely hear any of them these days.

I have some bad news for you…

Whilst not a big fan of Horizon Worlds (partly because of it’s lack of availability when the Quest 3 launched in Australia, and apathy to bother switching my VPN to US), it’s still a shame that a VR “3rd place” is shutting down.

Facts? He has his own facts. Just like the Russian agent he is.

Big baby is both “independent can take on Iran himself” but also “wahh, nobody wants to help me with strait”. Choose one dipshit. Seriously, he needs retiring. Grandpa has shit out any brains he had into his diaper.

You just described going down a Wikipedia hole too. Always a good way to procrastinate

Meese. The plural for moose is (unfortunately not) meese.

It can be, you just say you only use “messaging app of choice” and email. Email always works. And you can’t use any other app due to company security policies.
