Nobody likes Vance. He'd be a completely ineffectual president. Which is preferable in my opinion.

I saw a bunch of sore losers in 2020. Doubt you had this much smoke back then.

Yep. Musk is a racist anti-Semite. Not surprised he's so well practiced on the nazi salute

So when we met I was unmarried and young. But keep moving those goalposts buddy

I've had plenty of platonic friendships. I lived with one girl for 4 years and we get along great. Our birthday is one day apart and even though we live 1000 miles apart we still celebrate our birthdays together every year. She's married and I've made friends with her husband and I'm married and she's friends with my wife. So yeah, it's possible if you're not a dumb neanderthal and see women as people.

I had a colleague who had been a nurse and I'd show my prescriptions and ask "BS or actual medicine" and she'd tell me. I just started asking her first and she'd type out what I need before I went to the doctor.

It was on my thumb... But that is quite the visual.

Not a single hospital I went to in that country had hand soap in the bathrooms, to give you an idea about the level of hygiene. But going for my yearly sinus infection was a breeze and I got antibiotics. Not a zpack but it cleared up the infection. And no appointments necessary. Breeze in and breeze out an hour later with what you need. And dirt dirt cheap, and on my visa I didn't pay into the national health care system, so my cost was 100% out of pocket.

Wart fertilizer perhaps

Eh, there's truth and lies on both sides. Coming from someone that lived in china for 4 years and was able to engage with Chinese primary news sources. But basic healthcare in china is faster and cheaper, but then again I went to get a wart removed and they prescribed me acorn paste that accelerated the growth of the wart. So win some lose some.

Actually some pharmacies around me are offering them for free. Not universally though.

Yeah that's what I'm not understanding. He voluntarily joined the foreign legion. If he was captured then tortured or executed that's one thing. Tragic, but he knew the risks.
