British heroes must be magicians, knights, spies, detectives, soldiers (especially if a Navy man) or tinkerers of some sort. The traditional superhero feels wrong in the old sacred Isles.
Which makes it quite different from Japan, who superheroes work perfectly within
Ah yes, human economics. Very fascinating. Very concerning.
*wheeze*
“Who does Earth owe $350 trillion to?”
Mostly itself.
You owe money to pension funds, banks, insurance companies, investment funds, foreign governments, central banks, corporations, and millions of individual investors.
*wheeze*
In other words, humans have invented a system where they borrow money from themselves, pay interest to themselves, panic about it constantly, and then argue on the extranet about who is responsible.
As a Vølüs, I find this arrangement delightfully profitable.
The more interesting question is not who you owe. The question is whether the debt grows faster than the economy that supports it.
* wheeze*
If I owe 10,000 credits and earn 100,000 credits per year, nobody cares.
If I owe 10,000 credits and earn 12 credits per year, suddenly C-Sec starts asking questions.
Hah hah hah…* wheeze*
So when a human says, “We owe $350 trillion! Who do we owe it to?”
The answer is:
“Mostly other humans. The real question is whether future humans can keep making enough money to convince everyone not to panic.”
* wheeze*
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have several sovereign debt instruments to sell to the Elcor. They take a very long-term view of investments.
I call BS.
The facts are these:
Henry Nowak told officers he'd been stabbed. He told them he couldn't breathe. An officer replied, “I don't think you have, mate”. They dragged him along the ground and handcuffed him. He died before anyone called an ambulance.
No DEI course teaches you to ignore a dying man. Officers have a duty to assess injured persons, call for medical assistance, and not take one party's word as gospel. They failed on all three.
This is incompetence repackaged as ideological victimhood. “DEI made us feel certain ways” shifts anger from officers who let a teenager die onto a culture-war target. That's their defence strategy.
Henry told them he was dying. They didn't listen. They didn't follow protocol. That's a conduct and skill problem, not a DEI problem.
🚨 AJ-FURY COULD LAND IN THE US
👀 Eddie Hearn has said that the United States, alongside the United Kingdom, is a frontrunner to host the Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury heavyweight fight, tentatively scheduled for November. [TheStompingGround]
with adhd/autism it's funny like. people will call you weird all your life, people will bully you for your "outlandish" behaviour, people will criticize literally everything you do as "not normal", BUT THE SECOND YOU GET DIAGNOSED (or suggest you might have it) they're like "huh what but you're so normal, you're literally the most normal person I've ever seen, you're literally so normal and absolutely nothing is wrong with you? why would you have that now all of a sudden???
@MonteroOnBoxing It was much closer than the media and fans think but Rico caught Usyk with some hellish hooks that sent Usyk's granite chin in the air. It's incredible he can take shots like that
@dftaylorcomics@CombatCr Yeah I was surprised he was mega consistent for quite a few years. Rico did excellent attacking the body and leaning but Usyk's old now it seems. He couldn't do much of anything
@Faraguaydied@SugarShane97@CombatCr Massive age correlation. Almost every washed fighter is washed because of age and most are done at 35 not 39. Usyk's been in hard fights with hard guys same as Canelo, same as GGG, and countless overs. Younger Usyk beats Rico better than old Usyk.
@SugarShane97@CombatCr Too old, had to happen sometime even when you train super hard. He's 39 and his style relies on a lot of moving, reaction, shifting, volume. That's without the surprisingly excellent Rico
Usyk did better than the commentary was giving him credit for (happens every fight). Rico was mostly landing on gloves or slapping Usyk's back. It was a very messy fight (punch wise) aside from some extremely eye-catching shots from Rico. Rico was definitely ahead
@JimKarasBoxing Usyk is too old and a bit heavy. He looked a complete shell of himself even without Rico working on him. He couldn't move/feint/bounce as he could previously. Had to push his punches out rather than snap them out.
