In linguistics this is called expletive infixation. It’s a good example of the inherent grammar of language that we are never directly taught but know anyway. For example, we know fanfuckingtastic is correct but fantafuckingstic is wrong.

Fallout New Vegas.

If we are just talking about replayability, I have never put as many hours into another game as that one.

God Thinks by Aurelio Voltaire

"God is a liberal, God is a democrat

God wants you to vote Republican

Never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of God

And says it’s absolute truth

It’s lies and it smells like death

It’s all in a days work taking money from the poor

Why do you think that God

Would need your dirty money if you want to start a holy war?"

Cairo, IL (Population 1,505)

Being in a functional union was nice while it lasted.

I recently got a Kia Niro and it has buttons on the wheel for most of the basic functions of the touch screen. Really handy

Maybe they will have an upgraded version with a large rubber nose and a moustache.

Vasectomy if you don’t plan on having kids. Also consider mental healthcare. Everybody could use a little bit now and then.

I’m more worried about billionaires who have literal armies like Erik Prince.

Owning land is not the same as governing land.

If you are running in the Olympics, it doesn’t matter if the 2nd place guy is 5 seconds or 10 seconds behind you. You still get the gold.

My point is that he didn’t lose a significant amount of money.

Even with all the losses, he is still the richest man in the world by more than $50 billion. Musk dumped more than half of his Tesla stock and is focusing more on SpaceX now.

Musk could easily buy himself a governorship or a senatorial position and work up from there. That’s not his goal. He wants to be the next Thomas Edison. He wants to be admired and remembered.

Dictator’s opulent displays of wealth are to stoke their egos. They don’t care about the money they spend because they just took it, they didn’t earn it. They care about how much control they have over the people around them. They don’t care if people like them ,only that they fear them.

Starlink launched in Africa in 2023, so that covers a few oppressive governments.
