Thanks for believing in me =]

i will do it. i feel i can

No problem. I have to control my own vices and have gone from periods of heavily drinking daily to not drinking at all for awhile to drinking only on certain days and resisting/having no desire to for others.

Anybody saying you can't do it is just projecting their own weak-will and lack of willpower onto you, or that of someone they know.

this is exactly why I keep saying that being a politician isnt a real job. these guys are useless and do absolutely nothing that benefits the common American person.

They're literally the only reason we have any regulations and laws at all. Manchin is intentionally shitty and has spent his career serving his own interests, however there has been good done through the occupation of politician.

They are not all Manchin.

Because they're creepy weirdo horndogs upset that a teenager's shirt has become increasingly more modest.

People who base their enjoyment of a game off of how it makes them feel sexually will always be creepy losers crying over the dumbest shit.

I learned the other day that the first time scientists attributed man-made action affecting climate change was in 1938.

These sacks of shit have been hiding this for longer than most of our parents were even alive and it infuriates me to no end.

I think she's my favorite out of the big booty/titty rapper chicks. She seems fun.

Agreed. Minaj is becoming (or perhaps just showing who she always was) that she's a truly terrible person and Cardi B is just meh to me, though I won't deny the cultural significance of WAP. She's forever poisoned the term "macaroni in a pot"

I actually enjoy Megan's music and the version she did with Spiritbox for Cobra was fantastic.

Her being a JoJo fan just makes her even better and feel more human than I think a lot of rappers want us to think of them as (they want to put on an air of being larger than life).

Can you explain to me enough context for this to make sense? Cause I'm getting nothing from just those images.

I wish you well. Control is definitely possible with enough willpower and since you 100% stopped for 2 years I believe in you relegating it to a day or 2 a week.

I will say the argument for removing Trump felt pretty weak, legally speaking.

Through trial and evidence a CO court found that he was guilty of insurrection and their SC agreed with that.

That's the legal argument and the USSC didn't even say that Trump isn't an insurrectionist, which speaks to them agreeing with him being an insurrectionist, they just don't give a shit and want to protect him.

Trial, evidence, and courts have found Trump to be an insurrectionist and the A14S3 is supposed to apply to preventing insurrectionists from coming back in.

thronedfire2 posted...

trying to overturn the results of the election through legal avenues(even if they had no basis like all his court cases) is NOT the same thing as inciting and participating in an insurrection.

Reread what she said. She said "allegedly" for Trump "trying to overturn an election".

Overturn and insurrection are 2 separate words. Trump himself has said he tried to overturn the election, he went to court 63 times to try and overturn the election, and finally, as stated, courts have found him guilty of insurrection so your argument is invalid anyways.

thronedfire2 posted...

edit: it was *part* of it, definitely, because it was part of his lie about the election being stolen. but I feel like legally they'd treat those court challenges separately.

As stated above, the 2 words are not synonymous and Trump is objectively guilty of both either way.

What Smith's case indicted Trump on was the fake electors scheme, that's the trial we're waiting for. A CO court, which their SC agreed with, found that Trump is an insurrectionist and that there was no insurrection without him. And the USSC didn't say that Trump doesn't qualify as an insurrectionist, they didn't address it at all which means they don't disagree.

So I reiterate, it's just our corporate mainstream media carrying water for fascists and their narratives, per usual.

Kristen Welker in particular is infuriating on how shittily she covers these people.

Tyranthraxus posted...

You have to say allegedly until there's a conviction. That's the rules. Otherwise they can sue you.

No, it's proven he tried to overturn the election. That was the point of his 63 court cases to overturn the election. Trump himself has said he tried to have it overturned, and multiple CO courts found him to be an insurrectionist.

This is just our mainstream media carrying water for fascists and their arguments as usual.

Glad someone called him out, more people should like that.

Fuck this guy for the damage he's done to our country, harass him for the rest of his days.

Yes, because I'm not a fucking idiot.

I have my criticisms of him, however he's done a lot of things that either haven't happened in decades or has never happened (first POTUS on a picket line). He's done a lot of good and been disappointing sometimes, definitely one of the better President's in my lifetime who seemingly gets the least amount of credit for what he has accomplished compared to the rest I'd be naming.

Old article, I thought it would be a new one about the first restaurant to implement it which was promptly burnt down later that night when nobody was there.

In case that was confusing, not saying that's happened, that's what I expect to happen cause fuck you too, Wendy's.

Of course, he's high off the SC decision and is hoping the next one will also be in his favor.

No, you got it right. That's a pretty good explanation of the first book. After the Atreides are all but wiped out, there isn't *too* much action until the very end where everything goes to shit for the Emperor.

Cool deal thanks for that.

Xenogears15 posted...

And I just want to add that Christopher Walken as the last Padashah Emperor was fucking hilarious. I audibly laughed when he was introduced on screen.

Same. I laughed almost every time he spoke, especially at the end when he was still trying to go hard.

Weird that the map says for TX it's the San Antonio boardwalk, however my Google search I did based off reading the thread title gave me The Alamo. I'm seeing various sources say one or the other, so perhaps it's close.

Regardless, I've been to both.

Saw it last night. Great movie and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I don't know the books or the original movie very well, so to me it felt like a lot of stuff was crammed into this as a lot of notable events seemed to happen, as opposed to a few notable ones, however maybe that's just cause the 1st movie spent so much time building up for the 2nd to be more action-packed.

I didn't think of how AI images would be used for campaigning, or even overall propaganda.

ngl, though, I still laughed a little after seeing the images due to the audacity of it all.

There's also fake AI images going around of Biden with foreign leaders, such as him & Putin.

I was always concerned about how AI would be used for political subterfuge, however more so in regards to deep faked video.

And from what I heard in the BBC reporting, as well as those Trumpers who sent out Biden robocalls telling people to not vote in the NH primary, the audio is far more believable because images still have their issues everyone knows about.

"I'm not a photojournalist," Mr Kaye tells me from his radio studio.
"I'm not out there taking pictures of what's really happening. I'm a storyteller."
Radio show host Mark Kaye told the BBC that it was the individual's problem if their vote was influenced by AI images
He had posted an article about black voters supporting Mr Trump and attached this image to it, giving the impression that these people all support the former president's run for the White House.
In the comments on Facebook, several users appeared to believe the AI image was real.
"I'm not claiming it is accurate. I'm not saying, 'Hey, look, Donald Trump was at this party with all of these African American voters. Look how much they love him!'" he said.
"If anybody's voting one way or another because of one photo they see on a Facebook page, that's a problem with that person, not the post itself.

So says the shitbag posting lies.

Yeah, heard this guy's interview with the BBC. What a sack of shit.

Republicans are notorious liars, so while I'd like to take solace in that, I won't unless the actual election results reflect it.

Large swaths of people NOT voting is the most powerful statement we can make

It actually accomplishes literally nothing.

Well, that's not true.

All you actually accomplish is holding the country back from having the overwhelmingly sane party, with the potential to become progressive, maintain steady control over government, causing this wishy washy back and forth which over time has taken us to the precipice of Christo-fascist rule that we must now contend with for every foreseeable election.

I 100% guarantee you neither party gives a single shit about you and millions others not voting, referencing the traditional bloc of millions of non-voters in every election, and are not changing policies or practices based off of it, all you're doing is shooting yourself in the foot and neutering what little political power civilians possess.

It is the worst part about Jobless Reincarnation.

That story and those characters were amazing, except sometimes the fanservice, depictions of perversion, and overall sexuality made it hard to watch.

Would be a 10/10 for me without that shit.

They did. I don't know about here - I just popped over here today. But The Economist (not exactly a liberal rag) absolutely called out the antics of folks like Kim Reynolds and Ron DeSantis, using the very term "virtue signaling" (specifically referring to virtue signaling to their respective bases).

That's good, however I agree with ellis in that it's certainly not in wide usage against right-wingers and hte average person has undoubtedly heard it used against lefties/libs/progressives far more often.

I have nothing against him and don't mind clips/memes when they pop up involving him, however I don't seek his content out cause I'm not really interested.

Lugia. Fire types are the ones I found to be least useful save for bug/poison in red/blue

I've driven in both and prefer rain as snow comes with the risk of icy roads.

I will also say that dirt storms can be quite the problem, too.

One time I was driving in New Mexico late at night and the dirt storm I was in was so intense the sky literally lightened from night to the color of dirt as if it was daytime. Also almost missed a semi truck that was hidden in the dust until I was up on it.

Wait, you want to know the identities of people in a pic that are presumably dead because reddit told you they were part of a conspiracy that you can't verify? Why? What are you going to do with that knowledge?

To blow the lid off the whole thing, I assume.

In the Israel thread he was saying Biden personally ordered for those Palestinians to be shot by the IDF when trying to access the U.S. aid air drop for "reasons".

Origin of the word woke

The phrase woke and to stay woke is not new it began appearing in the 1940s and was first used by African Americans to literally mean becoming woken up or sensitised to issues of justice, says linguist and lexicographer Tony Thorne.

Lmfao nice attempt at reconning a term most frequently used to describe Trumpers.

I always get modded for calling queefs queef so yeah chud is flaming. Its an insult. Just one that the loser mods think is acceptable.

Probably because of the inherent sexist connotation in calling someone a queef, also wtf is this, the 90s?

Watching an elephant step on a man who (hopefully) lives sounds like a great date night.

He's still crying about Engoron's "undervaluing MAL" when he literally only used a past figure Trump himself used to pay less taxes on it in his quest to be the King of Fraud.

Federal law does not require employers to offer lunch or rest breaks, and Pratt said the purpose of his bill is to modernize Kentucky labor law to match the federal law.

WTF. Does federal law really not require these?

Apparently that's true, which is a surprise to me. This is one of the few times states have done a better job in regards to employers than federal law and of course the shittiest states have a problem with that.

He's been well-known on his views of Israel & Palestine for a long time, probably why nobody really cared to discuss it.

Was hearing about this on Thurs or Friday.

It's fucked up and yes the ultimate objective is just control of women as if they were property.

democrats have gained a MORE RELIABLE coalition, but not a LARGER coalition

because their coalition is MORE RELIABLE, they can clean up in low-turnout special elections

but there's reason to believe that advantage could vanish in a general election, because general elections are inherently high turnout, meaning the dems' superpower gets nerfed

Those special elections have also been higher turnout than usual and Biden literally got the most votes out of any POTUS in 2020.

In fact, higher voter turnout in general favors Dems, which is why Republicans fight so hard to suppress voting and have even openly acknowledged when more people vote they lose, so it seems like your logic is backwards here. Republicans have traditionally benefitted from low-turnout voting such as special elections, the country's overwhelming rejection of Trump and his extremism is what's turned that around, in addition to the recent loss of bodily autonomy rights and the acknowledgement that, yes, the USSC & GOP will take your rights away if given the chance and it's not just talk

Tyranthraxus posted...

You ever notice how literally no one ever is like "I was a huge trump supporter in 2016 and 2020 but here's why I'm voting Biden now."

I listen to a progress radio channel that takes calls from anybody/everybody and treats Republican callers with respect until they just go on MAGA nonsense rants & lies (though sometimes they also give them room to hang themselves and counter), but even from sane Republicans calling in I think I could count the amount who have said they are voting Biden as a rejection of Trump on one hand. Mostly they say they're just not going to vote.

Pratt said employers can still provide lunch breaks and rest periods if they choose to, and his business a landscaping company will continue to offer those breaks. Pratt is also the sponsor of a bill that would weaken the state's child labor laws.

And the penny drops.

So that's where I left that other shoe.
