If you think THIS is distasteful, you should see what priests do…

VikingHippie,

Much better than the sequel, The Apricots of Annoyance.

The porn Adaptation, Plums of Pleasure, is a banger though, pun intended.

VikingHippie,

Big cake was just a decoy for big candle so people would focus their attention on an invisible enemy

…where are you getting invisible cakes? 🤔

VikingHippie,

Everything looks like a penis when all you need is to get nailed? 🤷

VikingHippie,

Nah, they calmed down too late.

VikingHippie,

Literally came

🤨

VikingHippie,

But enough about what I did with your mom last night…

VikingHippie,

Venezuela is an example of a petrostate, where the government is highly dependent on fossil fuel income.

Petrostates are vulnerable to what economists call Dutch disease, in which a government develops an unhealthy dependence on natural resource exports to the detriment of other sectors.

The oil price plunge from more than $100 per barrel in 2014 to under $30 per barrel in early 2016 sent Venezuela into an economic and political spiral, and despite rising prices since then, conditions remain bleak.

So yeah, socialism didn’t kill the Venezuelan economy, over-reliance on fossil fuel did.

VikingHippie,

Why do you want to know? Do you think Chavez singlehandedly controlled the price of oil?

You know that’s a worldwide commodity, the price of which is affected by myriad factors out of any one country’s control, right?

There’s no such thing as “price of Venezuelan crude oil” seperate from the price of all other crude oil.

VikingHippie,

shoots cockgun

ALL costs!

VikingHippie,

Nah, we are brains wrapped in skeletons wrapped in meat operated by electricity from ourselves.

VikingHippie,

Over there, in a box.

VikingHippie,

Is that just a hi-hat being played with these? https://lemmy.wtf/pictrs/image/8776b22f-0d4f-4f80-9ad7-395e8622ddd0.jpeg

VikingHippie,

Right you are, Marie Condiment!

VikingHippie,

Me too! It’s one of my favorite hobbies 😁

VikingHippie,

They’ll hate me because I speak the truth

No, we’ll mock you for speaking nonsense.

Btw, did you mean millenials or Gen Z? Some of us elder millenials are 40 or older now, a fact that Gen X and Boomers sometimes have trouble remembering…

VikingHippie,

Me when I pet a dog and my watch thinks I’m going for a run 😄

VikingHippie,

Anti-social Rent-seeking Behavior For Dummies

VikingHippie,

Rent seeking in the economic sense does not ONLY mean purchasing property in order to rent it out to tenants.

Fixed it for you. Landlording is one of many forms of “growing one’s existing wealth without creating new wealth”

VikingHippie,

Confirmed: back in my theater days my preparation for roles was identical to that of Christian Bale.

VikingHippie,

They’re right, though.

VikingHippie,

Hence the inclusion of the word "if ".

The Italian Liberals of the 20s adopted a “wait and see” approach, leaving the outnumbered socialists, anarchists and communists to fight both the fascists and the loyalists alone. Then when it was clear that the fascists were winning, the Liberals joined them.

I suspect that the 30s Social Democrats of Germany were similarly irresolute (though didn’t join before they were forced to) when dealing with the Nazi threat. Centrists tend to be, whether center-right like the Italian Liberals or center-left like the German Social Democrats.

VikingHippie,

Where’s the lie?

VikingHippie, (edited )

I sit corrected, then. Should have known better than to think Social Democrats as useless as liberals in fighting fascists tbh, given what we’re seeing today…
