The downvotes are because one side has attempted an insurrection, constantly attempts to subvert the outcome of elections, and is saying out loud they plan on weaponizing police against their opposition, while the other is the fucking Democrats. Saying "both sides think that" doesn't neutralize people's genuine concerns that a not insignificant amount of politicians in one fucking party are willing to completely throw out any election that doesn't suit them, which means they are already attempting to take over. Both sides may think that, but one side thinks it credibly while the other thinks it based on absolutely nothing.
He can say all he wants. People living in reality won't believe it and people not living in reality already believe everything he says without question. We're never going to get the true believers to admit they went all-in on a conman, they are in the cult for life.
I'm sure as a result you do not wear glasses, refuse medical care, etc right? God doesn't make mistakes, right????
I have news for you, every bigot thinks their theology is direct to the Bible. They're right, it's a despicable book full of vile conduct, most of which is supported by the ugly nonexistent tetragrammaton tyrant you worship.
The idea of a Christian America means different things to different people. Pollsters have found a wide circle of Americans who hold general God-and-country sentiments....
Dominion Theology is damn near mainstream in the Republican Party. No one ever accused Christians of being logically consistent. All simply assume their bullshit interpretation will win out in the end because God.
People need to expect to pay reasonable prices on a reasonable basis for art and entertainment, and pretending everyone should be cool with fifty different streaming services and never owning anything again is its own sort of immorality and lack of ethics.
This is all America's fault even though they aren't there and have nothing to do with it
Surely if left to their own devices, a woman and LGBT friendly paradise would be there
America Bad even when an independent country makes its own decision somehow
You realize that by reducing all political activity in Iraq to the invasion of Iraq, you are posing the Iraqi people as puppets with no will of their own?

President Joe Biden goes into next year’s election with a vexing challenge: Just as the U.S. economy is getting stronger, people are still feeling horrible about it....
This seems to be the GOP strategy at this point. Do everything you can to wreck the economy and write your friends blank checks. The Democrats get elected to fix the mess. Then, you use their time spent cleaning up your mess to make the case that they are ineffective, getting you re-elected just in time to start all over again.
EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during ‘Replay’ moments.

Reading this thread makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills. This game was mediocre as fuck. The open world was practically empty. There were like five characters with anything but a superficial motivation. Combat is point and click nothingness, there is no strategy whatsoever and the AI is practically nonexistent. Constant bugs and graphical issues. The big fixes only fixes the very last thing.

Everyone who is really amazing at art started out pretty sucky, people just don't see the starting work of the amazing artists they see online. I totally agree with your points and this applies to writing, working out, anything needing sustained effort for improvement.
Work on it, OP! You will be surprised at how quickly you improve after doing something consistently for a year.
They're not saying it is invalid, they are wondering how long it will take for China to immediately flip on this once it's about their own interests, because they constantly talk out of both sides of their mouth on this sort of thing.
Having a uniform — ideally one that can be purchased from a discount department store — levels that playing field.
Except it doesn't. The rich kids just buy expensive undershirts, socks, necklaces, wallets, glasses, etc. even if they don't they will judge each other based on their parents cars. I have been here and experienced it. All uniforms do is make a store working with the school some money.
I want to give them money but since my childhood my parents pretty much told me that they are all either faking it or are too lazy to go to work for money. I mean, I guess they can go to work but not everyone gets accepted to work as easy as it sounds like.
There wasn't any judgement implied there. It literally works because people have empathy, you know, that thing that makes you not immediately assume everyone else has the absolute worst intentions.
Reading most media out there, Robert Kennedy sounds even wackier than Trump. But, someone shared this video with me and it’s changing my opinion about him. He seems to be a very good candidate for the next election to replace Biden....
Da, I am real American komrade and think unelectable fringe candidate would be best, don't you fellow Biden voters? If not, maybe you stay home because democracy is sham and leader really doesn't matter?
