It’s always depressing whenever I’m reminded that outside of the Mayan culture, Guatemala’s only major modern contribution to the world is the invention of the Happy Meal.
There would probably be a manufactured excuse to keep it around. It seems like that’s already happening with the hyping up of a potential conflict with China.
I think the whole “it got kids to read” marketing point was just based on sales data. People have been bemoaning each generation reading less and seeing Harry Potter’s numbers at the time probably gave the impression that it “saved” literature.
I still stand that the first three books were good and the series could have held up better if it maintained the same level of quality. Goblet of Fire is where it all goes to shit. Every single complaint about the series that I’ve seen from Cho Chang to the elves liking slavery is from Goblet of Fire and every book after that.
The sad reality of politics. It would be somewhat reassuring to think that these people are committed ideologues instead of mindless bureaucrats who are easily bought.
Wow not even chuds want Guatemala
It was only a matter of time with Cenk in particular. He liked populism without looking into any theory and that tends to lead people down a far-right path with how heavily pushed that perspective is. That’s why a Bernie-Trump pipeline exists in the first place.
Guess it’s a matter of time before every NATO country finds an excuse to ban it while giving Meta and Google free reigns to do whatever they want
Panamanians are some of the biggest American simps in Central America. Much like how you’ll often find Germans and Poles defending everything America does, Panama is that and they’re annoying as hell.
They were likely always nut jobs before moving there, or at least that’s what I’ve noticed with our diaspora
Sesame Street has been on the downhill since Elmo took it over
I don’t think they’ll not have them. Even the article mentions competition from other Democrats running, acknowledging the uphill battle she’s going to have for a primary race while still acting like she has a shot to beat them.
She won’t get past the primaries
They look Ike they want to kidnap me and take my kidney
It’ll probably have the desired effect with how even “educated” Americans think communism is inherently anti-Democratic and social credit score is a real thing China has
They probably will let it dry up with how spiteful farmers get over these things
Down D. Stairs is real
This right here. The same reason countries like the Philippines and Taiwan have a hatred of China for “historical reasons” while adoring Japan.
No. Are they fun?
