        Still not entirely unsure that the LHC fearmongers were wrong: maybe it somehow opened up a rift into the darkest timeline.

        You're the first person not to do the stupid "how the turn tables" 'joke' for at least 16+ months

          do you mean because he phrased it "how the tables have turned" instead of "turntables"

          I was always confused why people said that, I learned the former one

            Yes

            how the tables have turned

            is the correct version, replacing it with 'how the turntables' is a joke originally from the US version of The Office, it and similar variations became a 'meme' on reddit and elsewhere as couple of years ago, and it's rare to see the correct version anymore, and your comment cements that for me

              oh, didn't know it was from the office, but knew it was a dumb reddit thing

              IMO repeating dumb reddit things brainlessly like that is inherently fascist because you also repeat the other stuff they say

                Ah I see, I just see it so often these days that it seems conceivable the people writing it and by extension those reading it; don't realize they are making a joke/reference and believe they are using the phrase in the 'correct' way, and when it is used in an otherwise 'serious' comment/post it can be quite jarring

                  Yeah but do people really not know the phrase "how the tables have turned"?

                    You would have assumed so, but a lot of kids are pretty much raised on the internet so it would not surprise me that there are a lot of people out there who do not, and I've seen it used where a joke clearly wasn't intended, I also think it's been repeated so much that some who know better have in internalized it so much they use it without realizing

                      but alot of kids are pretty much raised on the internet

                      Paul Krugman is a ghoul but I wish he was right sometimes

                      imagine entire generations of kids raised on reddit

                        Unimaginable horror

                        at least they're would be a sub group of kids banned from reddit and raised on ChaCha

            like it is pretty great

            SUS is the largest nondiscriminatory government-run public health care system in the world, by number of beneficiaries/users (virtually 100% of the Brazilian population; 220 million people), land area coverage (3.3 million square miles)

        That would definitively end the US empire, so it'd be a good thing overall.

      also like most things the brazilian army does is either staying in the jungle, building stuff ocasionally and most of all re painting roads so unless the whole situation can be fixed with some paint on roads i don't think this is good plan

        They're going to paint over all the "BLACK LIVES MATTER" roads and finally end prez kamala's communist plot.

        like brazil has not been in a war, in any real sense, since world war 2, so they are not for fighting countries they are for the whole staying in the border in the middle of the amazon and cooperate with the military police in their eternal crusades against poor people and also ocassionally doing natural disaster relief on foreign countries for diplomacy like the brazilian state has a way more diplomacy focused nature so i feel like that is a consequence and also if we expanded the army we are always just raising the risk of them doing a dang coup because of the united states so there is no point in doing it
