Write it on paper and burn it. Sending it invites response, which you probably. The real purpose is just getting feelings out.
I don't think modern American political discourse is capable of the old style of revolt on a large scale. Old political movements were based on policy and rhetoric. Media has taken the place of rhetoric, and the majority of media serves to push toward one party or another rather than a real position on anything. Much of that media is based around the idea of negative partisanship (Vote for us because we aren't Them.) rather than policy because there is so little policy space to play in when the choice is Right vs More Right. That is enough to get people to pick up a ballot, but generally not a weapon, when all of the institutional power has been focused on convincing people to do anything but. Team Red is (slightly ironically) anti-communist when it bothers to pretend to have an ideology. Team Blue is usually just anti-Team Red, which is why they can barely manage to get some semblance of support. And there is essentially no other option because of the voting system and the memories of the Cold War keep anything collectivist at bay for the time being. When you combine 'Vote for change, don't fight for it,' and 'Your options are An Unpolished Turd Promising You A Better Tomorrow (falsely) or A Polished Turd Promising You More of What You Got Yesterday (Truthfully),' you get what you see now.
As it does in many other areas, the controversial nature of the discussion poisons the well on sources supporting either view. The days of 'here's a study saying...' being a useful tactic in anything are kind of dead. Most discussions can have reliable-sounding sources to support contradictory points. It gets hard to find the truth about anything without engaging in in-depth meta-analysis, let alone in a place like a comments section under a webcomic.
But we must be protecting so many cis women and kids from being preyed upon, right? Cause the unlocked public bathroom door is always an effective barrier against people willing to violently violate someone, right? Criminals are totally respectful of little plastic signs, so they'd have to pretend to be trans to get past the immense power of the little plastic sign, right? /s
Still leaves 'absurd dumpster truck' and 'blatant waste of money' and 'oversized trashcan lid' and 'penis substitute' wide open.
Oh wow. I only have one crack in my backside.
This is absolutely the answer. If it isn't funneling money away from actual value creation and into their pockets, it's evil in the mind of the investors.
RTFM.
Look on the food bag. It will have a guide for how much to feed a cat of various sizes. Feed the appropriate amount. No more, no less.
They often end up with bits of stuff stuck to them while they're wet, like feathers, bedding, etc. Poop isn't uncommon either. The same people who won't buy salmon unless it has that freshly dyed pink color, and won't buy potatoes if they aren't universally convex, balk at the bits that remind them they come from a real place and aren't just summoned into existence for their sake. Washing the eggs takes off the bits but also the 'bloom' which is the natural barrier to bacteria and the like. Hence, refrigeration.
Which Reddit thread did this meme come from again? I know I recognize it but can't recall the origin.
Was not expecting to see Street-Fighter's-Guile-as-a-magician quoted in this comment section... or at all really. He's come a long way since Scam School, I guess.
Absolutely. I was an absolute loner for the better part of a decade. Then my depression just disappeared. I joined a community around a streamer and had loads of fun. Just find the intersection between your preferred subject (literary analysis, anime tiddies, etc.) and your preferred communication method. (Text forum, voice chat, real life meetings, etc.) You'll find at least someone you can hang with, maybe more. Just go at it with openness and joy.
Honestly, I'm slightly surprised 'tattoo printers' haven't become a thing for those little 'formulaic' tattoos. (Stars, hearts, bird silhouettes, etc.) People love getting inked up and I could see it making those sorts of tattoos absurdly fast, albeit probably much more intensely painful due to the speed.
Do you have a definition of fascist you approve of, or would argue for? It's absolutely true that some people throw around words as dismissal but that doesn't mean we just all throw up our hands and say all words are meaningless.
Ultimately, the fight over 'fascism' is a fight to define 'fascism.' Having no definition is not a position to argue from. It's ignorance. Arguing on behalf of ignorance is just noise. Even if no one else shares your definition, decide what it is, then argue for that.
Yeah, I just want the results of the secondary poll that asks the why. It'd be interesting just to see the real answers.
I'm now curious what those 6% were thinking. The no is basically the default. What males those few say they want to join the US?
True. Some people must love it, but I didn't and I've just never heard anyone I've talked to about Fallout say they loved the OST for NV either. Very limited sample, I know, but it's all opinions anyway so, enh.
I want to see Canada put out an open offer for immediate welcome, territoriship, and instant citizenship for any state along the border that votes to join Canada.
I'll admit one important reason is just that it was the first I played. I'd never played an open world game before so the revelation of even the possibility of there being so much depth and freedom was amazing. That said, I also think it is generally better in other ways like setup and writing.
It also had the best soundtrack. There are people who listen to the F3 radio outside of the game. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they loved the other soundtracks at all, let alone enough to listen to them repeatedly.
