Cool sentiment, but they all vote every time and we don’t so it doesn’t matter. Or you can become a 2nd amendment person.

Damn it, I knew I forgot something.

To some extent, political parties are naturally occuring . The group dynamics of a legislative body will naturally result in groups forming around specific issues and even philosophies. But there is definitely a strong argument to be made that we’ve made them far too official, and far too entrenched.

Cool, but half the country supports this shit. And no, people who don’t vote don’t matter.
- Comment on Bernie Sanders : I attended Trump’s inauguration yesterday. Here are my thoughts. [7:00] 4 weeks ago:
America collectively doesn’t deserve Bernie as president. People go on about how the DNC shafted him in 2016 but honestly, I don’t think it would matter. I don’t think he could win. The same country that elected a wretched sack of shit like Trump (twice) could never elect Bernie. Not to mention that if he got the nomination, the forces that would align against him (every single rich person and all of corporate America, and 95 percent of the media) would ensure that he wouldn’t win.

The ADL took a break for bashing anti-genocide protesters to tell everyone not to worry about this.
- Comment on 小红书 4 weeks ago:
Most people do not care about digital privacy to the extent that they’ll ever give anything up to achieve it. Online communities are not in any way representative of the general attitude towards these issues.
If I ask people whether they’re willing to put a mic in their house to let me spy on everything they’re saying they’ll say no. If I say it’ll also turn lights on and off and play despacito on demand the vast majority say yes. In isolation people prefer privacy, so long as it costs literally nothing. As long as they have to give up nothing. That’s where we are, unfortunately.

The existence of scalpers means demand exceeds supply. Pricing them this high is a countermeasures against scalpers…in that Nvidia wants to make the money that scalpers would have made .

- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
Others have explained it (places where social interaction is the primary intent - not home and not work) but I’ll add - old European cities (and most smaller towns) have some sort of public square. Many have lasted to this day and are still used. We can still build them, we but our chosen form of urbanization isn’t that conducive to it so we don’t. In North America in the 80 and into the 90s, malls we’re 3rd place. Then they started aggressively going after loitering in malls since simply sitting in a mall doesn’t produce economic activity. Many malls died and many are still dying. Those that survived achieved the - nobody goes there to chill anymore. Just to buy what they need, maybe eat, and then leave. Nobody plans to “meet at the mall” anymore.

None of that amounts to this:
If things are okay just because we like them and not okay just because we don’t then what kind of morals are acting on?
The reasons this was justifiable have been explained to you ad nauseum. You insist on pretending like its an arbitrary whim despite that. Do you cry every time a drug cartel kingpin gets shot?

That’s not the situation, nor what anyone is asserting. Who are you talking to?

A concept doesn’t become acceptable just because the French have a term for it. Usually that’s a red flag.

Is commander in chief an active military position?
I think it’s specifically not a military position. The president being a civilian is how in theory the military must operate under civilian control.

I didn’t watch the whole thing but Paul’s shots didn’t even seem like they had any power behind them. He won on points obviously because Tyson was drained but it felt like even old man Tyson could have just stood there and tanked those weak-ass punches.

Because OP actually lives in that building and the rest comes down to proving his intent which is extremely difficult in every situation.
