He won't surpass Beerus, because that's the joke.

Beerus isn't a character, he's a punchline.

Why is this topic still going? I definitely closed it right here.
Mods, do your fucking jobs. We don't need idle conversation when the enlightened has already closed the conversation.

Ted Cruz realistically shouldn't be re elected. He does nothing but go on fox News and bitch about the democrats and does no actual work I'm the senate. Like 9 bills in 12 years, that kinda thing. Plus he deserts his people when critical moments happen.

Democracy doesn't have quality control.
Otherwise the US wouldn't be in the position it's currently in (and putting the Rest of the World in).

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at with my last question, there were decades of tension leading up to both world wars but there are exact events in history that people point to (assassination of Franz Ferdinand and invasion of Poland) as the point of no return with both world wars and I wondered if that would also be the case in a WW3 scenario.

Probably "Russia annexes Ukraine and moves against a NATO member."

I don't know how blame is passed around in Canada, but in the US, people blaming immigrants for what's wrong in their country tend to be right wingers.

Definitely, but "immigration is to blame for our problems" and "in the middle of a housing shortage perhaps we should be limiting population growth" aren't the same thing. The former is scapegoating, the latter is first grade math.

I don't think it's a racial calculation as much as a rhetorical approach where they can only ever have escalatingly large threats. Trump is incapable of speaking in a language other than hyperbole, and the right wing media ecosystem thrives on fear. There's no one who can say "well, she's not as bad as Obama, but still..."

Conservatives absolutely care that she's both black and a woman. Recall they went into a permanent meltdown when a black man dared to be elected president. These are people who regret the outcome of the civil war.

Well will find out in 10 days whether Trumpism will become a part of the rest of our lives or not.

It will be whether he wins or not. It will take at least another generation to cleanse it.

Being physically fit is a criminal offense?

I'm cynical enough to believe that if police didn't carry guns and full legal immunity the idea of people being able to be "too" fit would be floated, since being a super fit trained fighter would make you harder to brutalize- I mean, arrest.

I mean in Australia it's illegal to own body armor, despite it being purely defensive, meaning the only possible interpretation of why is that they want to maximize the chance for a shooting to be fatal. That's a start.

Yes, I just took a stupid topic seriously.

especially with a low population country like Canada.

Something like 90% of Canada lives in a tiny spot of Southern Ontario

Population size isn't as important as habitable space.
Most of Australia is uninhabitable, and as climate change accelerates it's only going to get worse.

Sex is part of human nature Americans historically have been largely Christian which condemns pre-marital sex

The Abrahamic religions condemn sex in its entirety, and have been nothing but destructive. It's why eastern cultures aren't as weirdly puritanical about our reproductive reality, see hentai manga/anime.

Gen Z knows it can get proper sex scenes almost anywhere on the internet rather than relying on soft versions of it popping up in mainstream media. The idea that "sex sells media/video games" has always been bullshit given the average internet search can vastly surpass it for free.

Source: I was a teenager in 2005. I never once bought a video game or movie because it had either a modestly dressed woman or sex scene in it. That's what the internet was for.

I wish you people wanting to fuck up the country would just like... go to a different one.

Is that user cheering things on, or just accepting the reality that most of a tax payer's taxes don't go anywhere near things beneficial to them?

I mean, most (minority) victims of police brutality paid for the privilege with their taxes. I wouldn't blame their families at all for cheering on the collapse of this corrupt pile of shit we call "the system."

I can understand people who get excited while watching, even though it isn't my cup of tea. I cannot understand the people who actually take it seriously and become legitimately upset or overly excited when "their" team loses/wins.

Then there's the UK where people actually beat each other to death over their favorite overpaid athletes.

He was made out to be "real life Tony Stark" and posited all these ideas that the news cycle pretended were viable

Interestingly, isn't Tony Stark kind of understood to be a fascist asshole? If anything Musk = Stark should have been foreshadowing.

On that we can agree. Rich assholes who have three homes should definitely be taxed harshly for the amount of time they dont even use those homes.

+1

A huge part of the problem is the rich (as always) owning unoccupied properties as "assets." Something you'd think the government should be addressing in the middle of an overpopulation crisis.

If he wasn't such a dangerous fascist asshole, there'd be something almost cute about his utter lack of knowledge about every part of how governments function.

It's like a nine year old running for president. All he has to do now is make "Pizza for dinner every single night and bed time is now 10:30" part of his platform to complete the effect.

Good thing we don't let unqualified people run for office! Like nine year olds! Or convicted felons!

... Shit. That's a damn small crack to slip through.

While I was donating plasma some obnoxious fuck was asking the phlebotomists who they were voting for, then started in about talking up Trump and I was just thinking to myself how sick I am of this shit

Usually decent people have the social skills not to bring up politics in an environment like that, so it makes sense only outspoken Trump worshipers would.

Also on a completely unrelated note, thank you for your username. Earlier today I thought to myself "why don't we see Motaro anymore and what was the last game he appeared in?" and I had forgotten to look into it until now.

Current electoral system makes it practically impossible for third party candidates to actually get elected anyway so yes, vote for third party is a wasted vote.

Same in Australia really. The only parties that matter are the Liberal Coalition or the Australian Labour Party. The Greens don't matter, and neither does One Nation (thankfully).

And? He's telling him to fuck off. Whether Trump gets it or not us irrelevant. And he lost in 2020. He got the fuck message that time.

If the Australian construction industry is anything like the American one, the people building homes are disproportionately immigrants. A slowdown in construction isn't going to make housing prices go down.

Speaking of which, over the past couple of years we've had some major builders go under. At this point everything is fucked.

Many countries have failed to build the additional housing needed to keep prices low.

And they allow corporations to own dozens or hundreds of properties only to keep them empty and overpriced.

the Founding Fathers basically said "Fuck it, we'll figure this shit out later" and told future generations to work out a better system.

That's why they say the document was meant to be subsequently updated I guess. Just... kinda gotta get around to that. For starters regarding the massive increase in power of firearms.

If Harris wins in 2024, why would AOC try to get the nomination over her in 2028?

My knowledge of amendments is iffy, but if someone has been elected to the office of vice president can't they only serve one subsequent term as president? Or is that only for those who inherit the office in the event of the president's death?

Edit: Yeah, nevermind me. Otherwise Biden would never have been in the running for 2024 in the first place.

As global population increases it's inevitable. Australia is currently going through a housing and cost of living crisis, so objectively speaking the last thing we need is a population increase.

The difference between me and a racist right-winger though is that I make that statement in reference to anyone coming in, not just brown people.
