A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

A) Labour is much cheaper in Russia than the US.
B) What foreign languages do you speak relatively fluently?
C) Do those foreign languages match to countries where elections have consequences AND the US has a vested interest in destabilizing them?
D) If the answer to C was yes, really? Where?
OP thinks you should be scrolling on Indeed and see
Ahaha, that's great! Only thing missing is a specific list of countries they CIA intends to destabilize.
You can find that list here:

Or this one is pretty useful:

Canada better watch out!
Haha, you'd think so, but this is why my link doesn't paint the full picture: The majority of our reserves up here are in the oil sands which are lot a lot more expensive to extract which makes them considerably less desirable.
Ahaha, I legit laughed pretty hard at that one.
