It’s a Vice article so it’s all bullshit anyhow.

I was admittedly pulled in by the clickbait title but then saw that it’s a Vice article and realized that reading this crap would be pointless as it will all be absolute bullshit.

Says the asshole mooching off the gold standard free healthcare given to congressmen.

Not even sure what year this is from cause the murder rate in Japan is .23% per 100,000 as of 2022.

Interestingly the United States is at 5.7% per 100,000 as of 2023.

Relevant Wikipedia article:

And as of 2022 it looks like the Christian population of Japan has declined to around .96% of the total population.

That’s fine, billionaires do not add to an economy, they drain it. So if they leave it will remove a useless burden on the economy and whatever country is dumb enough to take them in can deal with them instead. Meanwhile, if they are pulling money from our country we can find ways to tax it and prevent them from draining our resources (and yes, money is a resource like any other).

So glad I have never given a dime to that fucking company.

The price of everything is too damned high.

Yes cause sarcasm is so easy to detect on the internet.

I will only counter with one point. The smell of DEF in every city everywhere every morning, noon, and night. 🤮

We need something better than diesel.

Yeah a couple of weeks ago Google secretly activated Gemini on every Pixel user’s phone. I ran into the same problem, my phone suddenly activated and Gemini popped up interrupting a song that I was playing while I was away from my phone. Ended up screwing up the song and having it repeat over and over and over.

It’s called a blockade. And the U.S. has a long history of using it.

They’ve just kinda, taken over.

That’s called a monopoly.

I was going to say doesn’t this already exist in Canada? LoL

Also isn’t Loblaw’s unbelievably horrible? Like even more evil than Walmart?

I don’t agree with Israel at all. But Iran is a theocratic ethnostate as well. One that has pretty loudly proclaimed that the day they have nuclear weapons is the day before they use one on Israel. There’s nobody out there who’s in a morally high position.

Well, it looks like your memory is somewhat correct.

Stopping fetuses from developing Down’s Syndrome in my opinion isn’t unethical because it will genuinely improved their quality of life. They will live longer lives, have fewer health problems, etc. The slippery slope however was pretty well covered in the film Gattica in which people not only start requesting designer children but the world becomes a dystopian utopia where the genetically perfected are unfairly favored as the ruling class while the genetically unmodified become relegated to the worker/slave class.

I was referring to the mental breakdown that institutionalized her. Which is even listed in that health section you’re so obsessed with. But there’s far more to it and her conversion to Islam if you had read anything besides the Wikipedia page. She was pretty vocal about her reasons for converting and she was fairly adamant about how much becoming Muslim helped her mentally.

But feel free to continue with your prejudices based on little to no information.

Did you read anything else? She converted to Islam in 2018/2019. Her mental breakdown happened in 2017 and was mostly a result of losing custody of her kid.

NBC did not rebroadcast the live performance unedited until 2025, when it was featured in the documentary film Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music. In it, Lorne Michaels stated that he had “admired the bravery of what she’d done, and also the absolute sincerity of it”, though no mention was made of prior negative comments from him or the show.

Oh FUCK Lorne Michaels. What a lying sack of dog feces.

I don’t think her switching religions had a detrimental effect on her mental health. Probably quite the opposite. And it really doesn’t matter that she switched from one mainstream religion to another mainstream religion. It’s not like joining an offshoot’s going to be any better or worse. She was seeking peace. Maybe she found it, maybe she didn’t, that’s for her to decide in whatever afterlife she ended up in.
