Your link says the US spent 874 Billion on National defense this year.

This link has a bit of a disparity. I'm too busy to figure out the difference now but maybe you can take a look.

We are slowly trading wars for corpo wars.

I could see Magas backing him while also asking for Obama's birth certificate. Not a great leap in mental gymnastics for them.

This is much better but your previous comment was awful. It read like a LLM alone wrote it.

That being said I can't tell you why specifically it reads like that. I'm forwarding it to my friend who is a English professor to find out. If English is your second language then just keep at it and please don't take the criticism here personally.

In the secondary, new-age definition of "literally" yes that's true.

We lost the war for "literally". It's now just an emphasis word. The definition is mind bending:

1)in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

2)informal; used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

On the bright side less people use "absolutely" incorrectly than before.

Please tell me of this enlightened place you come from where racism and discrimination do not exist. Surely they also are accepting refugees and I need but apply? No?

Everyone but my tribe are _______. Hehe I'm so clever.

This in reply to someone calling themselves "The Grammar Police" is art.

It sounds like the cost of the air tag would kick the value over 200. Not sure if stealing it by proxy would be considered.

When I was a kid my dad picked up a bunch of political signs AFTER the election to use as free range targets. A cop stopped him and gave him a hard time but nothing came of it.

Plenty of non-americans care about the US election. It has a fairly large impact on US foreign policy. Apathy toward our government is what allowed us to be in such a sorry state of affairs.

I think these stairs are in a hotel in Prague/Praha. I swear I have seen them.
