something incredibly American about an Allied trooper yelling brand names at Soviets until they recognize him as an ally.
Trying to start some toxic yuri shit with this mech pilot, but she's well adjusted and happily married. I called her my loyal dog and she filed an HR report fuuuuuuuuck
Trump is all like "Australians sell their beef to us, but they won't buy any of ours 😡"
Which.... yeah? Of course???? Why would we import external beef from so far away when we produce more than enough to meet our own needs??
Not to mention that USA still has both mad cow disease and foot and mouth disease, but Australia doesn't -- AND America has increasingly lax commercial-level health and safety standards, meaning the risk of pathogens like MCD/F&M spreading through the US are significantly increased, and we don't have either here in Australia, so of course we don't want to import beef from a country that could conceivably spread the diseases to us???
But even aside from that. There are not that many Australians. But there are a lot of Americans. AND Australians eat an average of 23.4 kilos of beef per year but we produce 2.2 million tonnes. We produce WAY more beef than our population eats. So of course we don't import much????? And of COURSE it's not from America, which is both significantly further away than our current importers (primarily New Zealand and Japan), AND which has significantly lower health and safety regulations than we do????
Meanwhile, Americans average aprox 37 kilos of beef per person per year, but produces around 12.4 million tonnes. USAs population is 12 times larger than ours but only produces 5 times more beef than we do, AND consumes more per capita than we do. Of course USA imports large quantities of beef. Because their domestic production doesn't meet their domestic demand. Meanwhile Australia's production vastly outweighs our domestic demand, so of course we don't import American beef?????
Thats...... that's how imports and exports are supposed to work???? You export excess of what you have to someone who has less of it, and in turn, they export to you the produce/products that YOU don't have. This is fucking basic??????????
"Waahhh, Australia won't import American beef 😭😡" yeah???? Of course we don't????????
PLUS!!!!! Overall, Australia imports 34 billion dollars worth of stuff from America per year. Meanwhile America only imports $16 billion from us.
Putting tariffs on a country that imports more from you than they export to you is uhhhhhhhhh, FUCKIN' STUPID. If america tariff everything we send to them it's on all of $16b worth of stuff. If we tariff everything of theirs then we'll be slapping taxes on more than double what they can tax us.
Trump is such a fucking moron.
Does this man not understand that the point of trade is to swap what you have an excess of for what you don't have enough of
Why would we export masses and masses of beef only to import large amounts of inferior quality beef from the same people we just sold beef to
Does he think the USA is exporting large quantities of oil to Saudi Arabia?
why aren't Australians clamouring to receive such exotic US beef flavours as
i hope everyone is ready to celebrate International Down With Cis day on April 4th.
[ID: a screenshot of a tumblr post that reads:
Here’s a thing that happened to one of my friends. I was there.
Basically, we were walking down the sidewalk, talking about something meaningless. I think it had to do with a movie. Then this bus screeches up, stops next to us, and a bunch of people with “Down with Cis’ shirts climbed out and started beating him up. I was punched and kicked a bit too, but I managed to avoid brutalization by going for their faces. After figuring out what’s happening, I started attacking them back, getting them off of him. He was quite injured but I called 911 and he made a full recovery at the hospital. I was fine, with only a cut on my arm that they patched up.

happy 10 years to down with cis bus!
My stupid fucking maid doesn’t want to have her soul transferred to a doll so she can be immortal with me! I don’t understand it at all! Imagine the two of us being together forever, with her never leaving my side, keeping me company, and tending to my every need. It’s a dream come true for both of us, isn’t it?
In a century or so how am I going to find someone to replace her? Someone who can maintain my body, mend the cracks in my porcelain, keep the binding on my soul, and who would be willing to hold my cold hard body when I sleep… She’s really fine with dying and leaving me all alone? How selfish can you be?!

What’s up late night folks? Here’s an eerie shot I took down a pitch black road in the middle of the night
Extracting from the original tags: this is an 8 minute exposure — it was indeed pitch black
I’m imagining this is what it looks like to elves and others with darkvision.
