To be clear, I think this is a silly question, and I'm only entertaining it because I'm somewhere I don't want to be, doing something I don't want to be doing.
Because the bear is a danger to the woman, and is, at least rhetorically, preferable.
The tree is no danger to the man, unless it falls on him. To get a reasonable comparison, we need a comparable level of all but guaranteed danger.
I propose a megaphone in a crowded mall.
The word literally means "not from here." In the bible, Jesus tells us to be kind to the alien among us, and he wasn't talking about men from Mars.
This is, functionally, the concentration camps.
It was too late on November 6th.
Might only be 40. Long enough for the current generation of leaders to die off.
If voting could stop fascists, then in 2020 when Joe Biden got more votes than Donald Trump, he would have been president. There would have been a democrat in office from 2021-2024. And your fantasy world sounds nice, but it’s not what happened here in the real world.
Is this some kind of advanced sarcasm? Because I'm not understanding what you're trying to say.
Even a Nazi clock is right sometimes, if only by accident.
Ageing with the conservatives means you should double check your ideas, but if you are right, you're right. Don't abandon a correct opinion just because the other guy agrees with it.
I can’t recall a single time in history where voting has defeated fascism.
Fascists mostly start by winning legitimate elections. Defeating fascism with votes would just look like Clinton winning the election instead of Trump.
You might as well say that you can't recall a single time when having a visible security presence stopped a robbery.
That's the thing that a lot of people keep misunderstanding. If the President of the US wants a person back from what I am going to describe as "A lesser country," only for this exact moment, and not for any other case at all, he can get that person back. Send a battle group over, and ask politely.
El Salvador does not have the ability to keep him, if we want him back.
If they die messily, how long will it be before the next courageous instinct shows up?
I like huge anime titties more than this guy, but I have the decency not to advertise the fact to my neighbors.
I don't know the meaning, either. Temba, his arms wide?
I can't imagine anyone sane wanting this. There are some innovations that I can see people wanting to roll back, but not this one.
Unless you own a coal mine, or are owned by someone who owns a coal mine, this is stupidity from any angle.
I could do without the leather. But that sounds amazing.
Agreed. With the added bonus that we have too live in the system while we burn it down. I'm not a huge fan of the idea, but then, I'm a maintainer by nature.
I have nifty tech, yes, but I also have vaccination deniers, Nazis, and my fourth "once in a lifetime" economic crises. I'm never going to buy a house. I'm never going to retire. I'll probably never even pay off my student loans.
I personally think that, largely speaking, if imports are cheaper than local production, that’s a good thing!
I'm hardly an economist, right? But I agree with you, broadly speaking. But first covid, and now Trump round two is showing is the weakness of global integration. As long as everything goes smoothly, it's jam for everyone. But let something screw up the logistics, or someone duck up the balance of trade, and everything can go to shit really fast. There are lots of things we can't make here, but we rely on them. That is less than ideal.
I don't know that tariffs are the way to address that issue, or even if it needs to be addressed at all. O do know that the way Trump is doing it is all wrong.
I saw a smart flip phone once. Small smart screen on the outside, small smart screen on the inside, and a keypad that you could use to type with, using the forgotten skill.
I would love one of those.
No. Not too much of anything, really.
And now they are gonna get away with this, too.
