I used to believe this too, but I'm not so sure anymore. Look at how pathetic and groveling Republicans are around Trump. The cult is real, the propaganda is strong, and people are weak minded.

I just can't help but think of that scene in Conan the Barbarian where Thulsa Doom shows Conan what is true power - people listening to his orders without any care for their wellbeing (the scene where the girl jumps to her death because Thulsa Doom told her to jump). People do this type of shit for religions, and a cult is a religion

So far in our species history, the most rich and powerful have not been able to defeat father time (they want to, but they can't figure out how ... Yet).

When I watched the first season of altered carbon, all I thought of was how the worst of our species will be the ones to live forever. I think avoiding death is really just a bio-engineering problem, and will be figured out if climate change doesn't unalive us all first

I don't know if it really matters if you play them in any sort of order - Super Metroid really perfected the style and set the standard for the rest of the games

Did you look into Super Metroid for SNES? I was just replaying it recently and it still holds up as a true gem

I'm sure Verizon is loving that $1m they gave away to Trump to have a multi-billion dollar deal stolen from them... The leopards are feasting fellas

This is the correct take. Dems are owned by corporations, conservatives are owned by oligarchs (and corporations, but I don't think corporations are too happy with what's going on with Trump and Musk)

Keep your filthy paws away from my boy George Lucas

Inb4 a lunch mobb forms for Billionaire George Lucas...

Wow this is brilliant

Remember, scientists are the mortal enemy of theocratics - when viewed through that lens, it's pretty clear.

Also, when the OG Nazi's started invading other countries, they killed academics first

People used to laugh at me when I said America, as a leader and superpower, died when Trump won the first time. We have just been going forward due to inertia, but the bill will come due soon I fear

I would think in Utah plenty of teachers and firefighters voted R, but I would love to hear from someone who has better info than me. I worked with tons of union guys who were very proudly conservative and even hated the union they were in. The propaganda is strong in some...

You underestimate conservatives

Plot twist, it wasn't forgotten. The person who wants the EU destroyed the most is probably Putin.... Followed 2nd by huge corporations/monopolies.

What do you think they think when they see an AOL email

That actually explains this stupidity doesn't it ...

Right - the entire stock market doesn't make sense, doesn't seem to stop Tesla or any of the other massively overvalued stocks. Btw stocks have been massively overvalued for over a decade, but that's a different topic

So not any amount then. My point stands

Absolutely my point

It's not a statement out of ignorance and it's not a lie. Most people don't try to move huge money around so I'll illustrate what I had to go through - I had a huge sum of money I had in an online investing company. I had a very time critical situation I needed the money for, so I cashed out my investments - the company only cashed out via check sent via registered mail (maybe they did transfers for smaller amounts, but for the sum I had it was check only). It took almost two weeks for me to get that check. When I deposited that check with my bank, the bank had a mandatory 5-7 business day wait to clear (once again, smaller checks they deposit immediately and then do the clearing process - BIG checks they don't do that, so I had to wait another week). Once cleared, I had to move the money to another bank, and guess what - I couldn't take that much cash out, daily transfers are capped at like $1500 or whatever they were, so I had to get a check from the bank. The other bank made me wait another 5-7 business day as well, because the check was just too damn big.

4 weeks it took me to move huge money around, and of course I missed the time critical thing I really needed the money for.

I'm just a random person, not a business, no business accounts, etc. The system just isn't designed for small folk to move big money
