The Soviet Union was, if not a traditional dictatorship, absolutely a totalitarian autocracy. Stalin was a brutal dictator and his successors were chosen by the communist party. Elections in the USSR were for show.

Life was miserable almost from the start of the Bolshevik revolution for most people. The USSR’s implementation of communism was so bad, it’s become cliche.

Is it possible the European mind can’t comprehend how big North America is?

The people complaining about the way Obama spoke were using dog whistles. That’s the point you seem to have missed.

Oh, so now it’s “get the fuck over it”? Both sides are totally the same!

I don’t think so, bebe. You motherfuckers will NEVER be permitted to live this down. This is YOUR fault. We will make you choke on it.

Nothing you want needs to be done immediately. NOTHING.

It fits perfectly well. The placement changes the emphasis subtly.

“That’s a tall fucking building”

“That’s a fucking tall building”

The second calls the listener’s attention to the emphasized aspect whereas the first might reference the height in relation to other aspects… but would be more context dependent than the second form.

Christ, you people will justify anything to avoid saying you were wrong.

Yes, he’s just a thief. The ends don’t justify the means. I can’t believe that needs to even be said.

But she won’t. She’ll waste her money and end up with nothing.

Society would be so much better if people exercised their grievances with vigilante violence, amirite?

Oh no! So, anyway…

You’re fooling yourself if you really think everyone hates it.

Congrats on conclusively demonstrating you don’t understand how economies or governments work.

Our side lost because a plurality of people are too fucking stupid to know when someone is lying to their faces.

Mmmmm hot dogfood on a tortilla!

I’ve wasted countless hours waiting for people on zoom calls to sort out their stupid air pod issues.

They didn’t take away the jack to sell more headphones LMAO.

That is absolutely why it was done.

People who habitually use speaker phones do not understand the concept of “inside voice” that everyone else learned in 1st grade.

And those people should be sent to The Hell of Infinite Screaming Babies.

Congrats on getting exactly what you deserve.

Here’s a wild thought: inequalities are not always written with the lower number on the left… or there wouldn’t be a need for two symbols.
