For sure, Google tells me there’s only 21.2T USD in circulation.

Nothing wrong with dreaming to be a plumber.

Never try anything!

I was in the Marines and I had to buy some of my shit on my own, so yeah, agree 100%.

I upvoted you on Lemmy for being on topic, but I downvoted you in my heart.

They like pineapple on pizza.

Ha, I’ve “learned” the same thing from my wife. Definitely still learning, though.

I mean, sure, maybe in the ensuing lawsuit they could be like hey, her doctor said it was cool, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s a baby being born on an airplane in transit. Nobody wants that, airlines will shut that down, and it’s not discrimination, it’s just a good decision.

I’m curious what the difference between how America went about giving slaves citizenship versus countries in Europe. There’s the obvious difference of birthright that’s an issue today, just curious why America ended up here and Europe did not.

The times I go in there they’re like “Use the website!” I feel betrayed.

And I wasn’t looking for solutions, just griping.

I tried to order chicken teriyaki so it would be ready for my wife to pick up en route home. Website requires a login. Make it. It doesn’t log in after creating the login, so log in again. Password wrong. Reset password. Finally get in. Get to last step and there’s no button to send the order. Fortunately, I’d wasted so much time that my wife was already there standing in line.

I assume it’s just formatted for mobile, but when I’m sitting at my computer, I’m going to use it, it’s always faster. Except when it doesn’t work.

You’ve never been allowed to bring raw eggs of any kind across the border. I’m sure you can declare to do so and make arrangements for it, but I can’t show up at the border and bring eggs over, that’s always been the case.

I suppose you are right, in that it’s not the egg that’s illegal, but the action of bringing it over the border.

Does that count here and on Reddit? Although I’ll say here on Lemmy, folks are much more open to actual dialogue than on Reddit.

Jus soli is conditional, and doesn’t include hopping on a plane and just visiting a country, the birthing parents have to have established residence in the country. There’s also citizenship granted to children born to parents who are from whichever country it is.

None of these represent what we see in the US. No country in Europe grants automatic citizenship to children born of foreign parents.

Sure they can. “My doctor said I can!” Well, they say you can’t. Why would a doctor’s note get you on an airplane?

Literally zero European countries do it. It seems to be in the Americas only, and Chad and Tanzania. The concept that this is some human right apparently only applies to he US.

Eh, upstate NY is probably all red, save for perhaps part of Albany. NY State and NY City are very, very different.

UCMJ obliges members of the armed forces to not obey unlawful orders. Problem is they don’t teach law when you’re in, and some of this shit can get awfully complicated, and that’s excepting the mountains of propaganda.

That’s being said, we are fortunately not yet seeing the military of the US being used to suppress American citizens. But maybe tomorrow!

Why don’t they just move ahead with the plan regardless of America? The US has made it pretty clear they intend to depart NATO, and so the rest of the organization may as well just move forward regardless of what the US says.

The US position here is “We are rethinking our position here, and thus can’t get involved in any new business,” which to me is fair. Regardless of how anyone feels about their decision to leave, if they’re deciding to leave, it makes sense to not start something that will keep them involved.

Nailed it on the head. I think also that you need to include that Canada’s relationship vis-a-vis trade with China will be affected by tariffs the US is placing on Canada, and same with Mexico. I think much of everything is from the viewpoint that China is a bigger problem than Russia at the moment. China is also recovering from some economic turmoil, and one way to do so includes expanding their reach, and so the intent is to limit China in other areas.
