Also when the afrikanners arrived, charities refused to help them settle, yes charities are largely responsible for refugees from other countries.

thiel has an obsession with lotr, so he named all his evil companies after various lotr themes.

they are still useful for research, medical colleges, military so they can blow it up.

some people even did K2, and thats more dangerous than everest.

all the ones that are super-authtorian ones: russia, NK, USA, Saudia arabia if you are in a certain demographic. all the war torn ones that were ruined by israel. places where you have no experience in, like deep jungle in South and central america, and antartica and also mt everest, K2.

too many westerners thought they could venture out in the jungle with no directions or guides.

i went for .today few weeks ago, might look at other instances.

they are shutting down due to lack of admins , and they were running on skeleton crew, couldnt handle the massive amount of content/moderation on lemmy instance.

the good ones are pretty expensive, and most people dont buy them, they have imported bougies ones sold by WF.

american chocolate is just milk sugar mostly, i would like at the total cacao concentration, anything less than 70% is nasty asf, most american ones are under 40%. i heard the hersey ones they use some kind of chemical in it to make it taste the way it is. White chocolate american is the most chemically tasting and smelling of them all.

peeps marshmellows?

alot of cookies and cakes are like that, you can feel the granular sugar, because they put so much.

milk chocolate by any of the big chains, are just trash. at WF, they sell gourmet chocolate imported from outside the US, or they make the ones that are bougie and expensive. dark chocolate, not so sweet is the best. white chocolate seems to have a chemical smell and aftertaste to it, super synthetic, that has no chocolate i never liked the taste.

i cant stand the smell of durian candy, its way to pungent.

seems unusual, at 13 i already hated sleeping with a family member in different beds, because he was constantly hovering over as a “helicopter parent” who he thought took it upon himself.

as in cant even get the foot in the door, i was very disappointed with that, so i gave it up ive been on other platforms where people also gave up because it was just to hard to get into many stem/research jobs, especially if you cant go to grad school right away, without going post-bacc or resetting your career track. and found it was designed, and gatekeeped by the industry as a whole. Also job sites made it harder.

beavers teeth has iron hence the orange teeth. most mammals teeth are based on apatite. some animals have other metals like zinc or iron.

maybe for expensive ones, but at 65$ its pretty cheap, and easier to replace it.

watch how they whine, when european decides to close and expel all the bases and military from thier borders, Asian might not do it though because of CHINA, which is a different beast, and issue.

thats why they do these aggressive recruitment propaganda every few years, having a movie like top gun maverick helped alot last year and propaganda like business insider video of military jobs. and yes most of them are aimed at POCs. when obama came into power, recruitment/military was actually downsizing in a peacetime military, but trump reversed it the moment he was in his first time. i was in forums where it was when obama was in charge, it was getting harder and harder to get into the military(people were getting denied left and right for medical and financial and crime reasons that mightve seen consideration during the bush era), then i magically reversed the moment he left office.

it was always to justify the defense budget to go into the pockets of the contractors, the politicians and the lobbyists.
