100% we need better candidates. 100% democrats suck. 100% Biden should stop supplying Israel.

But also. At this point, the literal only chance we have against Trump getting back into the White House is to vote Biden. Trump ALSO SUPPORTS GENOCIDE. Not just that, but about a thousand other things that will destabilize THE ENTIRE WORLD. Even ignoring all of his domestic policies and the fact that he has already shown that he will do everything in his power to become a lifetime dictator, he is on the wrong side of every international dispute. He supports Russia over Ukraine, he supports China over Taiwan, he supports North Korea over Japan, he supports any dictator that says they’ll give him money or power.

This post wasn’t about Biden’s support of genocide, it was about the democrats finally growing some fucking balls and speaking truth about how insane it is that half the country doesn’t believe Trump has ever done anything wrong.

Don’t become a single issue voter. Do I agree with Biden? Not on A LOT of things. But he has done a great deal to unfuck what Trump did to the economy last time. He has gotten student debt forgiven, despite facing pushback and rollbacks multiple times. But look at the alternative. Do you remember what it was like under Trump? I live in a time zone 3 hours off from DC. Every morning I would wake up and read about some new idiotic thing the leader of our country did or said. We should continue to push Biden on Israel, absolutely, but we don’t have the threat of not voting for him. Pretending that we do is likely to lead to voter apathy, which puts our entire nation in danger. Biden is not the lesser of two evils, he’s the evil that is going to ensure that we have the chance to vote for someone else in 4 years.

There’s a dodge meter now that shows you how many dodges each character has left

So the assumption is that they took the game down for almost a year, changed nothing, and are putting it back up?

The fact that it is gonna be live action is what concerns me the most. I hope it’s live action in the style of the Netflix One Piece series and not the Bob Hoskin’s Super Mario Bros film.

This has been happening for a while now and the results of which are the voting populace of the anti-intellectual movement that is explained in the documentary film, Idiocracy.

Ahhhh, the old “If you love that inanimate object so much, why don’t you marry it?” response. This playground reaction tracks pretty well with my understanding of major party politics. Goddamn, I miss the days when the masks were still on and policies on both sides of the aisle still had some redeeming qualities.

I realize this isn’t actually going to happen, but I’m just trying to wrap my head around this dude’s train of thought.

It seems like “You want to protest the killing of these people? How about you go live in the area where the killings are happening!”

Does he think that will change their minds? Like, upon arriving in Gaza, these protesters will realize the errors of their ways and agree that genocide is the best option?

Is he trying to get the protestors killed by the very thing they’re protesting? That’ll teach them!

Does he not think that there is anything happening in Gaza and he wants to show them that it is actually a safe and lovely place?

Ignoring the logistics of the proposal, and accepting that this lawmaker has the viewpoint that the protesters should not be protesting, I still fail to understand what the desired outcome is and why this person thinks this is a fitting response. Like, this dude went through the trouble of writing this up and talking to people about it. Does he realize this makes no sense and he just wants to get his name in circulation by proposing nonsense?

At this point, why would you want that double height step when walking to the bathroom from the hallway?

You’re both right. The reason the ABC/XYZ thing matters, and is tied to the presidency, is because the money came from campaign contributions and the ABC/XYZ are things you’re allowed to spend campaign funds on and things you aren’t.

Knowledge bomb time!

This is Robert Budd Dwyer, a Pennsylvania politician who committed suicide during a live press conference in 1987. This photo is from that press conference, the trombone has been photoshopped over the gun he used.

For the 90s musical connection, this incident was the inspiration for Filter’s song “Hey Man Nice Shot.”

All the other bands are just shit

It is, but it’s sold out. They’re a bunch of other weird shit on the site, but the cigarette is the best.

Came here to say this

The content made it seem that way. No worries.

Definitely a tribal rite of passage in need of updating to remain relevant. I do take umbrage with the chanting at a magical fairy. That’s far more a chrisitian thing. But what are the horrendous implications?

And turns men into wolves

While every religion has its crazies (GTFO, orthodox & hassids), I found judaism to be far more critical and questioning than other religions that I’ve been exposed to. Literally the opposite of black & white thinking, a bunch of the religious texts are actually just arguments of different scholars (contemporaries of christ) offering opposing viewpoints and interpretations of older doctrines. (I’ve got an unfounded theory that this is why so many jewish people go into the study of law.)

That being said, I am not a religious person and despite being raised jewish, I now consider myself an atheist. Technically a satanist if we’re talking about giving my money to some kind of church.

Wait, it’s live service? Everything I’ve read has said the season passes were for post-launch DLC expansion content. Has there been leaks that I missed?

You can tell it’s shopped because of the pixels
