I don’t know about “more.” It would still make sense, but Nancy’s head game was not an all together foreign concept.
I’m guessing this picture was chosen for the “Game recognize Game” meme more because it’s easier to find than a photo of Trump with Monica.

Putin can talk to Trump about it when Trump gets a little too out of line.

Mark is Jeffrey Epstein’s brother. This is an email from Mark to Jeffrey about Trump blowing someone called “Bubba.” One of the nicknames Bill Clinton used was “Bubba.”

- Donald Trump (Blue suit; sitting US President)
- Nancy Reagon (Pink dress; former US First Lady)
It is alleged that in her day Nancy enjoyed giving head. Nacent revelations allege that Donald sucked off “Bubba” (presumably Bill Clinton, former US president) and that Putin has pics.

I have had teachers try to grade on a strict bell curve distribution, but if you’re goal as a school is to accept promising talent then train them better you should expect your students to fall within a part of a bell curve and not spread across the whole damn thing.
Sorry, can’t pass you cause my morals oblige me to give 2 As, and 2Fs, and I’m all out of everything but FS (no matter how many points you were away from someone with a better final grade).

- Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? 5 weeks ago:
The people in charge dislike Antifa because people who align under that label oppose those in power.
I hesitate to use the argument “‘Antifa’ means ‘anti-fascist’ therefore if you don’t like Antifa you are necessarily fascist”–not because I don’t believe it’s true, but because I believe it’s more correlation. The “National Socialist” party was not as its name purports, nor do many of the “Protect the children” laws actually do what they say on the tin; therefore a deeper inspection on acts, means, motives, and results is warranted over a mere “literal definition of the name.”

Disney allegedly lost 1.7 million customers after suspending Jimmy Kimmel. He was very quickly reinstated.
It’s not that boycotts don’t work, it’s more that they require a critical mass to work and that can be hard to achieve.
- Comment on I think the reason we evolved 5 fingers is so we can carry hot serving dishes farther by alternating which one is in contact with the hot thing. 1 month ago:
I learned in bible school that the reason we have 3 segments on our fingers is that with the palm they align perfectly with the panels on a banana. This is evidence of the perfect creator–the Christian God, and why humans can only hold bananas.
This is an actual thing an apologist said. He later backpedaled, but not before it became a trope to teach in Christian schools as evidence against evolution.

I don’t know if I’d classify any gun death as “worth it” in the manner of necessary to secure the “right” to bear arms. “Welcome” on the other hand…
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 month ago:
I don’t know if you’re involved in activism at all, but I heard some advice from an old Food Not Bombs head. Don’t trust the person that is always available, always has a car, or is down for anything. This is especially true if they are new or always wear bland or name brand clothing.
I guess more generally, don’t trust people that seem like they really want to be trusted.
Regarding surveillance online, yeah, there’s absolutely no privacy anywhere and there’s nothing you can do, so just be boring.

You can conveniently ask the device around your neck a question.
You then must pull out a different device from your pocket with exactly the same functionality to get the answer thereby saving you 0 time.

- Comment on 'Ad Blocking is Not Piracy' Decision Overturned By Top German Court 2 months ago:
Can a website operator prove I consented to their terms if I block their consent popup?
If you continue to use their website than that is a you problem. It is no different than actively ignoring the signage at the local kroger saying “no guns allowed”
If I block consent notices how would I possibly know there was a consent notice governing continued use and how would a company know I never actually saw the consent notice to begin with?
I also don’t consent to having billboards all around me or ads literally mailed to me in the post.
Which is a very different mess with very different laws governing it. That said? You would be shocked how easy it is to complain about a billboard ad and get it to go away.
It’s the same mess. A company makes an ad and partners with another company to distribute that ad. That distributor then partners with several vendors to show that ad. In exactly 0 cases was the recipient of the ad asked for consent. In one case the recipient of that ad has an option to not see it–heaven forbid they actually exercise that option.

What happens if they can’t but continue to provide the website content regardless?
I also don’t consent to having billboards all around me or ads literally mailed to me in the post. I wasn’t even asked in those cases, but for some reason, me not being part of that business agreement doesn’t matter.
Consent doesn’t matter when it comes to advertising, apparently, and if your site delivers content and a side of shit when I ask for content then I’ll just have my robo-butler continue to remove the side of shit before delivering content.
