"Gosh, I would love to pay the same amount or more to build no equity and have some shit bag landlord paint the walls white and claim he made repairs" said practically no one. Even if they did, there isn't a reason to maintain an insane system for the benefit of very few.

Literally can mean figuratively if you hate being clear, but it's a much easier world to live in if words don't mean two precisely fucking opposite things.
It is not journalists' job to give genocidal dictators a platform for their bullshit, they are entirely capable of that without help. If you think Tucker is going to do anything but gluck gluck gluck this whole fucking interview over his Russonazi daddy you are fucking delusional. It's not journalism, it's a PR piece for fucking MAGA.
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.
I'm not clear on whether you're saying that all feminism is stupid (obviously wrong), feminism has already accomplished its goal and is no longer necessary (another laughable type of wrong), that modern feminism has some sort of revolutionary obligation with regard to capital (silly as fuck and wrong), or that feminism must stay the same or inherently betray its founding principles (OK, which wave was OK with you? How far back do you think women should go? Wrong, wrong wrong.). Which type of wrong are you?
Wishes feminists would protest in a more palatable way, preferably one they never hear about or are inconvenienced by

Yes, obviously people are going to make fun of you, you keep saying ludicrous shit, lol
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.
Utah became the latest state to regulate bathroom access for transgender people after Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed a law Tuesday that requires people to use bathrooms and locker rooms in public schools and government-owned buildings that match their sex assigned at birth....
These laws create an environment where bigots are empowered to point the finger and harass people with the veneer of civic duty. Bigots and shit heels want these laws, and red states seem full of them.
Every normal person who reads this understands you mean there is a lower rate of inflation than previously, the people replying to you are fucking dense.
It’s a free-to-play mobile gacha game. Therefore, it is trash. That point simply cannot be argued. It’s not up for debate. If you’re here to debate that point, please don’t even bother.

Chūnibyō (中二病) is a Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe early teens who have grandiose delusions, who desperately want to stand out, and who have convinced themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers. It translates to "middle-second syndrome"
This person must be from Chicago if they are describing their tomato casserole as a pizza. If Chicago can have their pizza crime, let others do as they please and get off your high horse.
Let's not even get into how overrated New York pizza is.
I like basically all pizza; pizza is pizza. I just dislike pizza snobbery. "Pizza" at this point describes more of a genre of food than a specific dish, and the relentless dick measuring about what regional variation is best is the weirdest shit to me.
NYC pizza falls into the same trap everything else in NYC seems to fall into: New Yorkers have this habit of thinking they invented and have the best of everything. It's not bad pizza, it's just not the definitive example of a pizza they think it is.
This week, the Supreme Court sided with federal agents to remove razor wire put in place by Texas along the Rio Grande. The state is using wire and state agents to block Border Patrol from accessing a section of the border in Eagle Pass. Homeland Security is demanding access to the area by Friday, but Gov. Greg Abbott is...
You're right, the guy who wants to murder people at the border is probably that way for super legit non racist reasons, the media has just been a big meany pants to poor Greg Abbott
By that logic, I guess we should all live our lives in fear of the potential backlash of fascists to any social action. Wait, doesn't that just result in them deciding how we live our lives anyway?
I get that you're not really arguing in good faith, anyone who has read anything about this bastard knows this stuff, but at least try and do a better job of acting like you don't know anything.
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 was the EU that felt the most like the original trilogy, and I don't think they have been matched yet.
That being said, the fact that they're just bringing Thrawn over doesn't bode well. Thrawn is cool but that's not really exclusively what these books are about, and I guarantee Asohka Tano dealing with Thrawn will be less interesting than these books were.
