Lots of people don't know the US has turned fascist I guess

If you refuse access they immediately refuse entry. Which means you're immediately deported

Hmmm that looks like parts listings for the Fairphone 4 to me, why do you ask ?

[–] thanksforallthefish 7 points 1 day ago

Yep, exactly. Like a dog returning to its vomit he'll be back at this again sooner or later.

And if you believe that I have a nice shiny bridge for sale, one owner, barely used.

Huh ? Last I looked Mango the Hutt was doing everything an Israeli could want ? How has he upset the genociders ?

Yes that's certainly true, but Fort Knox being an international gold warehouse doesn't actually impact dollarisation of the world economy and the inevitable transition away from it when/if US power abates

[–] thanksforallthefish 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The dollarisation of the world economy has a lot more to do with the US being virtually untouched (negatively) by WW2 as opposed to the other major world economies who were all decimated (axis & allies). The US had the smallest downturn post 1945 and the fastest transition.

This allowed it to hoover up a large percentage of the worlds wealth AND through its military strength persuade, direct and control other former powers (refer Suez crisis for example).

Bretton Woods really isnt that important in that arc. It certainly helped solidify American hegemony over the 20thC but it was an outcome of power differentials rather than a creator of the hegemony.

It will breakdown over the next decades as the rising superpower China is not party to it, and Putin via the Fanta Felon has massively undermined the US soft power base

TL;DR Bretton Woods mostly codified unwritten agreements between the western countries while cementing the already present dominance of the US due to WW2.

Good.

The current investors leached billions in inappropriate dividend payments instead of reinvesting in the infrastructure because they were expecting the UK govt to bail them out. They should lose their investment.

 

Aukus had a less than immaculate conception. It was conceived in secrecy and born in haste, a tribute to political opportunism and a travesty of disciplined planning. The enthusiasm of theatrical announcements notwithstanding, it was in trouble from the beginning. The US Navy had serious doubts about both the ability of US shipbuilders to deliver submarines in any workable timeframe and the ability of the Royal Australian Navy to integrate and operate them. That was not a question of trust but of capacity – on both sides.

And, of course, experienced and well-informed Australian defence planners rang the warning bells from the beginning.

 

Hey all, I know a lot of people are migrating to private torrent sites, and OK, that's a choice. However there are still a lot of people on the public torrents who are just leeching and not seeding.

I have several popular (old/classic) movies in my feed that I have uploaded (literally) 1000x the original and many more in the several hundred times. That's fine, I choose to support the community, but it's pretty depressing when I look at the seeders count and those movies have 2 or 3 other seeders.

This only works if you share. Please don't cut off as soon as you've downloaded.

And on a personal note, if anyone has audio or video files for "Machine Gun Fellatio" also listed as MGF could you please start seeding in particular

"MGF Pack 1"

"MGF+Pack+2"

"MGF+Pack+3"

If I can get the download completed I'll keep them up permanently, but unfortunately as they are obscure/rare I'm getting nowhere.

Rules don't permit me showing the torrent link of course. DM if that would help
