He’s playing 4D Monopoly…

Yes. Why do you think Trump kept screaming about Greenland? I haven’t looked this up but I bet there’s some set of studies out there that says Greenland’s going to be the last habitable place on Earth.

When is this game coming out? Sounds sick!

I will belittle anyone that put Donald Trump in office. And if you didn’t vote for Kamala Harris, you helped put Donald Trump in office. I and a lot of people on this platform knew exactly what we were in for with Donald Trump 2.0. But millions of people let perfect be the enemy of the good.

It’s a choice of survival. I’m never going to say the DNC is perfect. Frankly, I think the DNC is worse than the RNC. I’m a Bernie bro from 2016. But when you see a fuckin train coming down the tracks, step off the rails.

Unsolicited advice from someone who used to be like you: Consider a person’s intent when considering your tone. You can’t just make a call regarding your outward level of courtesy merely based on subject matter. They may not know better. In a vacuum, is it “fair” to hate someone based on unintentional ignorance? Consider their intent first.

Edit: to be clear I’m referring to the unintentional ignorance of the artist, not meldrik. Fuck that guy.

Come on. That lady didn’t believe exactly everything I believed. How could I vote for someone who is not only a female, but someone who didn’t believe exactly what I believed!?!?

The first 12 episodes or so are well done monster of the week sci fi… Then buckle the fuck up! The world building, performances and storyline represents my favorite sci-fi show of all time

Btw, Dollhouse is a similar vibe and similar quality, but much less grand in its execution.

Chuck Shumer is offended by your comment. But he’s willing to upvote it so long as you promise to be cool with Israel.

Why can’t we all be possums? Just one party with 30 separate primaries resulting in 22 candidates that have to eat ticks an lay still in the middle of a busy highway. If you survive and don’t get lime disease you get to move on to the lightning round… That’s the round where you have to get struck by lightning while sleeping in a tree.

Depends on what you don’t know and when you didn’t know it.

All crimes have requirements. Most crimes require that the person “know” or “intended” to engage in the criminal behavior. Sometimes the knowledge requirement is subjective, but mostly it’s objective…i.e. what would a reasonable person have known under the same circumstances. Which means that being drunk or otherwise impaired is rarely a defense to a crime requiring knowledge or awareness. Another exception when knowledge doesn’t matter is statutory rape of a minor in the US; you can legitimately think they are of age when you screw… But if they are a minor it’s rape regardless.

The knowledge requirement pertains to factual knowledge of the circumstance (i.e. you reasonably knew the property wasn’t yours when you took it). Ignorance of the law is not a defense. Everyone has implied knowledge of every law as soon as it’s codified. Fuckin’ bullshit, especially the younger and poorer you are.

A majority of human interaction is some form of manipulation. I think the question should be what degree the manipulation serves the manipulator versus the mark. For example, my wife compliments me for not looking like a total piece of shit. This both helps diminish tendencies in me she dislikes (helping her) and encourages me to not be a piece of shit, which given that my wife generally looks out for my best interests, helps me as well. From the opposite perspective, gaslighting is a form of manipulation that only benefits the manipulator… Hence why it’s frowned upon.

From an evolutionary biological perspective, rape is seen as a mating strategy. Given the eventual extinction of Neanderthalensis, and the fact that physical attractiveness is also an important factor in modern mating practices of homo S, it makes more sense that the introduction of homo N. genes into homo S. population was less likely caused by sapiens being physically attracted to Neanderthals and more likel introduced through the sexual domination of sapien females by Neanderthal males. If that weren’t the case the physical differences between the two species would have been less pronounced. That’s my theory anyway.

I was going to post spending time with my son… It’s nice seeing the other side of the equation.

I’ve never seen “religion” spelled that way before.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Republicans didn’t use to be all a bunch of shitheads.

Because Nixon was the picture of class… But at least he had the decency to resign.

That may be the case. But AOC is on record saying MTG is just acting out of rage due to the fact that Trump personally killed any chance of her becoming a Georgia senator. Apparently that was the straw that broke the camel’s back resulting in the current incarnation of MTG.

I don’t think your viewpoint is supported by history. It is common for marginalized communities to take on the code words of those who oppress them and turn them into their own. The hate mongers use those words in an attempt to “other” their targets and separate them from society. If society embraces those words, especially the communities that are affected by them, the hatemongers lose power.

If you are waiting on everybody to reach the same conclusions as you, you will die waiting. We all want to live in a perfect world. But perfect is different for each of us. So instead of fighting a losing battle with no real winner, look to how the community affected wants you to act. When we help others we should help them in the ways that they want, not the ways we think they should want.

He does… When Israel tells him to.
