China taking their pandas back is the most petty shit ever and I'm here for it.

I know and these pandas have been in the zoo for 50 years or so. Imagine the nightmare these pandas face who have gotten so used to living in the US would now to move back all the way to China. Since these pandas were given as a gift, taking them back just cuz the leaders of these nations can't get along is just so kindergarten.

No, I am not. Though, I have to admit I did like a couple of her songs back in 2012-2014. Why, are you?

Oh not at all. I'm a rock/Indie kind of guy. Give me some Muse or Oasis any day of the week.

Of course, I thought so. Their music is evergreen.

I wonder what China will do with the pandas once they are back home.

Super round up, Amrita! Thank you :)

Thank you Safar. Panda diplomacy is a strange practice, I just feel bad for the pandas who had lived in the US for so long, having to make the long air journey back. Must not be easy for them.

Sadly when animals and nature get caught in the wrath of politicians who care nothing more than to assert their "power"

It's incredible how Taylor Swift manages to stay in the top of her game for so long! Incredible endurance.

$400 emergency expense is not very much, especially with the current cost of things.

It is not. This is suggesting that people are really living paycheck to paycheck with very little room for error.

welcome, oh yes I believe you, starting is the hardest + way easier to consumer/read research than write & produce quality research ;) ... not different than good cooking ;). Take care!

I can’t even imagine going to see a single artist’s concert 11 times in one year. Wow

I am on the same page as you. The mania is real. Unfortunately, what worries me, is that a lot of these spending are probably happening with BNPL, and that worries me.

Indeed. Check is coming...
