Political pundits are juuuust below televangelists on the grifter scale. Nothing of value lost.

Ayo?

Birthrates dropping across the world, you'd have to think that unlike in times and eras with a population boom or steadily rising birthrate the economic factors and implications to a global economy would stop any future was between 1st world countries in our lifetime.

If all motivation is economic in nature, and all modern economics is predicated on constant growth, then it stands to reason that no modernized country could ever wage a war that does significant damage to the working population of their country.

Was thinking about it and it honestly seems like the one upside to how shitty things have gotten in the world. Either intentionally or unintentionally, this declining birthrates across the world might be the best leverage the common people have ever had in our lifetime.

Remember when you saved blue love interest from the invaders who were trying to rob the planet of its resources and spirit?

But actually, I'm trying to replay this game and the stupid required button mashing mini game is the dumbest shit I've ever encountered. I think I used the "pen trick" to beat it as a kid, because I don't think I can mash that fast ever. I mean it nicely, but why does this game have so many awful mechanics?

And why does the stone statue guy sound like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers.

So, the trick here is that no republicans actually EVER watch 60 minutes, regardless of the guest. So if you're a republican guest the accepted standard is to say something or to act to wildly unruly that it makes the mainstream Fox News cycle the next day, because she that's what they DO watch.

It's like the political equivalent of leaving a burning pile of shit on the doorstep of your "opposition". You've both made a mess that's a pain in the ass to deal with an "signaled" to your base what a motherfucker(Somehow a positive term) you are to the "enemy".

I'm tired boss.

No. Nobody does.

Let me preface this by saying, I'm politically active within my local community, which is the most viable pathway to actually inciting change.

The OP makes you sound insufferable and somebody who I would sooner distance myself from seeing as they would make getting stuff done more difficult.

Doing something is better than doing nothing. Just because I cannot do everything doesn't mean I should do nothing.

Try not to be a hindrance to the causes you represent, even if doing so makes you feel good inside.

The New York "arrest news" is a coordinated play by major media outlets to have trump supporters tire themselves out via outrage before the real felony indictment from Georgia gets handed down. Think of it like a test run for the actual arrest.

I think this is a genuine powder keg that everyone in power is concerned with diffusing at this point, and it makes a ton of sense for the majority of establishment republicans to want him gone as well for the future of their party. I think he's become the meddlesome priest at this point and pretty much everyone in power or looking to consolidate their power logically wants the unstable element in the room fucking gone.

Yeah it's pretty great.

What class did you gravitate towards most strongly?

They're just doing one last scouring of the website to make sure there isn't anything that would tank their IPO later this year.

The conspiracy theorist in me swears this is only happening to give Fox News viewers something to shake their fist at with impotent rage.

It's simply never going to be a feasible thing in our lifetimes, and I'm not entirely convinced the generation that follows will have as "healthy" a society as we do right now to pursue it.

Crabs are just water spiders.

Lobsters are just ocean scorpions.

I am too scared of the mods on a dying websight to tell somebody to die so I will do it on Discord instead!
Cant get my new account banned!!!

I am speechless.

Just chiming in to say, you aren't insane, this is a crazy way to act unless you've completely divorced yourself from reality.

I think Mob Psycho 100 will ultimately wind up being the "Accessible anime entry point." That FMA:B has been for the last decade when it's all said and done.

Digimon world 1.....with direction?

I can't even fathom it.

Gimmie the 2 frame animations that you immediately think of.

Even if what she's saying is true, it's teaching him pandering, which is arguably the most important life skill of all.

The last interest I had in ESPN died with Stuart Scott.

So, are the people in your stated demographic not responsible for any of the decisions they make? Or just the bad ones?

Should you not be tried as an adult until 24, since as you said, they're "inexperienced and easily manipulated?"

What about people you don't care about, or those from demographics you don't agree with? How do you feel about Rittenhouse? Was he old enough to make his own decisions at the time? Or was the fact that he was a kid absolve him of wrongdoing?

What about those who are genuinely just stupid? When do you differentiate "inexperience" with "ignorance"? If someone is taken advantage of, and hurts someone else as a result, are they no longer culpable as they were misled?

Either you have autonomy as a human, or you don't. The distinction as to "being an adult" has to be made at some point or society would cease to function. So, I want to you to define, in your terms, who is and isn't allowed to act with autonomy and we will go from there. Because it honestly sounds to me like you have a savior complex and that's also a form of being manipulative in my mind.

Final Fantasy 4 Kain. And then Kain again. And Kain. Also Kain.

Damn, I might buy it despite watching so many walk throughs lol

If you like fast paced movement based games, I'd say buy it. It's hard at points, but if you get good at parrying a lot of the Boss fights can be trivialized.

When you nail a run though with the music blasting, you feel cool as shit. Same vibe as Hades in that regard.

Yeah, it's great.

You could save a lot of time if you just decide to become an ascetic philosopher.

I liked EV. Sucks she felt the need to close her account over gunpla, who is definitely not worth it.

Pretty much sums it up for me as well.

Work for a couple of years now and It feels like the logical progression if I'm being honest.

Combing through shitty MTL work and turning it into coherent English sentences with modern vernacular has prepared me for this future, where do I apply?

CE really isn't that far removed from the Facebook boomer crowd way of arguing at this point, huh.

This is what happens when you ban The Trent. Lmao.

battle stadium is pretty damn fun!
I mean, everyone and me are using smogon teams, but still fun lol

I've made top 200 Master Ball each of the last two seasons with some weird shit. Last season was a Choice Banded lead Mabosstiff, and this season I had been killing it with a lead Tinkaton with Fake out/Brutal Swing/encore/Gigaton hammer alongside a weakness policy Gholdengo that gets switched in after the first fake out turn.

I say was killing it because suddenly Volcarona is EVERYWHERE and this team is pretty much dead in the water as a result.

This is VGC doubles though. Dunno if you're talking about singles.

Incel topics have gotten weird over the years.

What goes on in bedrooms that are not your own is quite literally none of your business if both parties are consenting adults. Literally ever.

So, if these people are buying hundreds of thousands of homes and they are almost certainly unoccupied for the most part, isn't the logical counterplay for people to just start squatting again?

Then, once forcing the rental moguls to pay for constant enforcement, it becomes slightly less palatable of a misery based enrichment scheme.

...and then you play B3313 and your mind gets fucking dismantled from the inside out at the sheer complexity of it all.

There's an NPC in Porto Marinada that exists in a state of absolute agony. Approaching from the land side, just past the auctions, there's an NPC who's existence can only be described as absolute cruel joke. From their mouth stuck open facial expression, to their being constantly stuck in "air chair" to the NPC's that surround them having relatively normal looks and programming, I've never seen an NPC with a more painful existence than her.

Picture later when I'm home, but try to find her yourself. Her pain deserves recognition.

NATO and the US do bear significant responsibility for creating the socioeconomic conditions that lead to Russia's recent ongoing invasion of Ukraine, yes

I just wanted to say, I admire your consistency on being consistently obtuse while lacking any sort of facts or argument to augment your positions.

You're the best opposition anybody supporting positions opposite your own could ask for. You're like a living caricature of the strawmen that are portrayed online.

Modern democracy is designed to only appease people until suppression becomes a viable alternative. The leaders of the free world don't hate China, they're just waiting for the Chinese surveillance model to become easier to implement worldwide.

Only because you can't understand the incredibly offensive shit Bouldy is saying.

If you can wait until mid April of next year do so. You're going to see some absolutely insane drops at that point that will almost certainly result in buyers remorse if you buy now.

Stupid Angel fight in Borderlands 2 legitimately walls my re-playthroughs from an interest perspective. It's just so needlessly tedious.

It's just there as a

"You ARE using the auto-battling mechanic, right?"

Check.

... I don't hate the workers. They already got most of what they wanted, and I absolutely think they should get their sick leave and I'm hoping that can be worked on later, but not at the cost of destroying the lives of most people in this country by halting the supply chain and destroying the economy even more. Wtf?

How is that a solution to anything? As if things will just be "built better" afterward. That's not how it works.

What's to stop the government from holding the economy hostage in future negotiations like they did this time? The precedent being set is honestly disastrous for the future of this country.

Ar0ge posted...

So you guys want the supply chain and economy to get worse than it already is?

Do you understand the dynamics of a hostage situation?

This is like arguing Shrek was woke back in 2003 because Fiona fucked up the band of merry men.
