This article is about a week old, I believe they’ve since tabled the tax bill that caused people to start protesting in the first place, for now at least. People are still out protesting though, I believe demanding that the President step down, so maybe more of this to come.
I think that’s what the internet has done for us, it’s removed that sort “social immune system” that prevented crazy ideas from spreading. Before, if somebody had some crazy ideas, the most they could usually do was rant to people on the bus/subway, maybe make some pamphlets, or some other small-scale thing to spread the idea. At best you might find someone on AM radio broadcasting at weird hours. Individuals would get exposed to it, but would likely never pass it on, this contained crazy ideas and they rarely got traction to spread.
Now the internet comes along, and suddenly crazies are getting hooked up with impressionable people easier than ever before. Crazy ideas have an almost endless supply of rubes that will eat them right up. Our social immune system can’t protect society from all the insane things flying around at high speeds all over the place now. It’s intellectual chaos.
Seems like a red herring. Is there a single Republican candidate anywhere that supports gun control?
I don’t understand what’s going on with her hand. I get what they’re trying to show, but something isn’t adding up.
Or hell, just eliminate the opposition party. They’ll do it first and we’re just going to stand idly by and let them for the sake of “moral superiority”. They’ll do it and still see themselves as saints.
It’s kind of insane the amount of work people will do for free, just for the hell of it. I mean, just thinking of my own small world of tabletop RPG gaming and the number of people GMing and writing up stuff that they just give out for free is kind of heartwarming. It’s this weird drive to create and make storytelling worlds that other people can get lost in. I’ve worked on projects like that before and put shit tons of time and effort into them, not even considering that anybody might ever want to give me money for them (though likely it probably wouldn’t even be legal in this case without working directly with Bethesda and getting into licensing and such). Sometimes it’s just fulfilling to get lost working on a project that you love.
You make the art yourself… using the blood of your enemies as your medium, the countryside is your canvas.
I’ve been to homes in foreign countries that had little more than a hole in the ground outside for a bathroom, a cow dung hut for a kitchen, and a rain water collector or a river for a water source, it doesn’t take much to get those amenities and if you really wanted you could probably make it work with this storage shed. Whether or not it’s actually up to code here in the US though is a different question entirely. I think there’s alot of municipalities that have banned tiny homes altogether or have such strict zoning laws/building requirements that this definitely wouldn’t fly as a “home” in any sense of the word.
It’d be a toss-up at that point, depending on who they put up before the election. Maybe Nikki Haley could actually win again Biden? The other non-candidates that ran during the primaries don’t seem like they’d fare well. That’d be hilarious if the party most opposed to women’s rights were to get the first female president in office. Losing Trump would be a speedbump for Conservatives though, they’re moving towards trying to take America down the road of a theocracy, I’m not sure that losing Trump would really stop that, they’re pretty much committed to making it happen at some point.
I mean, I wouldn’t mind the current President exercising this power over their political rivals, in the election, the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, purely as a defensive measure to protect America. It sets a shitty precedence, but do we really want He Who Shall Not Be Named to set the precedence first?
Calling it a “tiny home” is a bit of a stretch. Wal-mart itself calls it a “storage shed” (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Best-Barns-Arlington-12x20-Wood-Storage-Shed-Kit/1567768995). So I guess if you really wanted to, you could call it a “tiny home”, but by that standard we could just call a cardboard box a tiny home as well. BOOM! Instantly solved the homeless crisis.
We’re talking about Trump here, right?
Still voting Biden, but this feels an awful lot like many past elections where people are holding their nose and voting for a candidate they don’t necessarily like just because they don’t like the other candidate. Those elections never seem to turn out good.
Where the hell am I supposed to go for custom-made, anatomically correct dinosaur genitalia sex toys? WTF? Please make it make sense.
About the only time our TV gets turned on anymore is for 1) videogames or 2) watching youtube.
It’s mostly just a giant monitor at this point
Incredible game that can be a little jarring for people who are probably expecting something like Baldur’s Gate 1&2, Fallout 1&2, or some other kind of isometric killfest RPG. It essentially turns the dialogue into 90% of the game, but the dialogue is so damn good that it doesn’t matter.
It also takes getting used to damage, as sometimes you can “die” in seemingly random ways. I was on a rooftop, I think trying to reach for a scarf or something, and failed my roll. That caused me to apparently get so depressed that I lost the game. I can’t remember which stat/trait it was but I think there’s a morale or mental trait you have to watch out for too.
Pirate this game if you wanna give it a try, don’t ever buy it. This is what the developers have advocated for and it actually fits right in with parts of the game itself.
Really great party game, kids love it. There’s a constant push-pull to make the level just hard enough. It kind of breaks down though if somebody has made it effectively unwinnable for everybody and you can’t find a way to unblock it. Otherwise though, it’s a fantastic game.
My ass. Kamala Harris has been dead weight for the past four years and couldn’t do shit against Trump. She shouldn’t even be in the VP slot.
Biden needs to exercise his expanded rights as President to save America by removing agents from all branches of the government who have been working to undermine America. Congress members, Supreme Court Justices, and Presidential candidates with ties to Russia or far-right nationalists should be removed by any means necessary. We’re essentially at war with Russia and we’ve been allowing foreign agents to work against us from inside our country. Take the gloves off and remove those people, they’re trash people who will do it first if/when they get into power next. They’re pretty clearly broadcasting their plans to turn the US into a dictatorship and the SCOTUS just handed them the power to do it the next time they win an election.
