  • I don’t think the US will ever pay reparations in any form to its (nominal) allies, nor be asked to.

    Instead, the US will lose (or has already lost) all goodwill and soft power it has enjoyed post WWII, and will have to face skeptic if not openly hostile nations in all diplomatic affairs, forcing it to make significant concessions if it hopes to have any sort of alliance and agreement in the future.

    Plus, hopefully, the EU and many other countries will realise the mistake of relaying on the US for strategic assets, in particular defense, finance and tech, which will have a significant impact on the US economy long term.





  • I sometimes get takeout ramen and end up with quite a bit of broth when I’m done eating everything in it.

    Using it to make beans it’s obviously something I do when I know I’ll be the only one eating them, otherwise it’d be icky.

    Word of advice, I found the broth is quite salty so you might want to be careful with how much you use and avoid adding extra salt in other ways. The good thing is that a good broth contains everything you need to make those beans tasty. Well, excluding onions, of course.




  • I see two forces working in that direction.

    One is advertisements. If you run a social media platform or website or anything similar, and hope to display ads, you better not show anything they don’t want associated with their brand.

    The second is the rise of political movements (you know which ones) that have nothing better to offer than “modesty” and “traditional values” (whatever that means) as ways to fix the issues society faces.
