The markup on Amazon for the exact same cheap crap goods is insane. Recently got an hdd enclosure and some torx bits for 5-10% of the Amazon offer.

Are people throwing down $500 on a luxury item really going to balk at $575 for a jersey? That’s less than the price of a ticket to one game.

Right, which is why I advised OP to avoid places which won’t like the wrong kind of jingoism. You’re understanding now.

The same articles are written every time Europe decides to bomb or occupy a country in Africa or Asia. Coalitions of the willing in Iraq, Libya, Yemen. The list goes on. Our bombs drop freedom, theirs don’t

People are screeching about misinformation and propaganda without actually saying which things are falsehoods. Pretty entertaining.

Most opinion pieces and even purportedly neutral news articles are polemic, Russian or otherwise. Don’t expect a community called Europe to want content that isn’t pro-European jingoism. Only they are allowed to do it!

sorry to hear about being fr*nch

Harsh but true. When you take away those that actively supports the regime, then those that are apathetic, that’s well over half the population. A present day Boston tea party would mostly result in mass anger over sweet tea availability.

Then those few that remain may not want to risk getting their skulls cracked, legally run over and declared terrorists by the institutions they’re asking to change. It simply doesn’t leave the critical mass necessary to have thousands in the streets.

Would you trust the food?

Does the place have a buffet or hotdog station or anything

Does that mean the child tongue licking continues or not? Please be specific and clear.

I just hope there’s less child tongue licking with the next one

Oh how shameful of me to question a European. You are Europe. You are culture.

You’re meant to cook them

You’ve chosen an indefensible position, that’s all. Try to learn from it, and you can do better next time.

Not just a violent and bloody history, but a culture as well, which lead to that history. As to all Europeans being unwilling to deny it, that’s hardly convincing given multiple recent decades of fueling and supplying armed conflicts, often needlessly.

I’m well aware of the US attitude towards censorship. My point is about the double standard towards violence and a history of it existing in cultures. It’s hardly exclusive to the Americans, and quite European if anything. You can’t boldly declare yourself to be “culture” itself and expect to be taken seriously without actually examining those cultures.

“Horrible deplorable violence is only wrong when boors and barbarians do it, not us enlightened beings who seek only peace and nudity”.

Could have just written “supply management” and been done with it.

I remember seeing many a Dell tower with the logo button removed in schools. Apparently collecting them became competitive.

How arrogant to think your previous centuries don’t offer a culture of violence.
