How feasible would it be to have a law requiring punitive fines to be greater than or equal to the profit gained from breaking the law?

Strange. It’s like one of those inkblot tests except the color scheme easily lends itself towards demonic imagery

I mean no disrespect, but over what general time period did you do that?

I’m curious what you’ll find if you were to shop around for current-day prices and add up the costs of the lifestyle you lived (house/rent, car, food, taxes, etc.). Then compare to what a “modest salary” means today.

Many people have done this exercise and come to the conclusion that it’s a lot more difficult now than it was in the past to live a “normal life”. This is by design, of course.

String theory is a scam just like climate change. They’ve been “ten years away from a breakthrough” for half a century at least, meanwhile draining (laundering?) a huge amount of scientific research money.

The code is in the first letters of sentences, not every single capital letter. The rest of the message falls apart if we apply “every capital” to the whole thing.

Florida’s 7th district has flipped twice in the past decade. This representative is at the end of his first term.

It’s not even necessarily grammar that (most of them) are trying to change. It’s worse, they‘re trying to change how we perceive and categorize all people. All of them either don’t realize, or don’t care about, why we group men and women into these categories based on biology and nothing else. They’re trying to swap biology out for superficial/useless things like personal expression or whatever they’re calling it, because imposing their fantasies on the world is the only thing they care about.

That connection in the top left is a huuuuge stretch. And I’m not even sure what’s being pointed out on the right half of the page.

The system I follow when assessing whether there’s a genuine symbolic connection is to compare the number and significance of each naturally shared element to the number and significance of viewer-introduced changes/additions needed to get from one picture to the other.

Similarities: curve, pointed bit. (both very common things to have.) Changes/additions: splitting the arrow into its point/head and its curve. Rotating the curve. Triplicating the curve. Removing the design elements on the curve- but keeping the halfway mark.

I could make a stick figure with the same number of arbitrary manipulations you used to get to the candlestick thing. This is not a significant symbolic connection. Unless you’re trying to say all semicircles are evil? In which case, please seek help.

For most people, the primary reason for loyalty to any political party or ideology is a tribal mentality. There’s a sense of commitment to one’s peers, and peer pressure is a very real influence. But this alone isn’t enough to sustain the group, there has to be some other draw, to both bring new people in, and remind them to not break out. And that’s where things like envy and laziness come into the picture. Another common one is “this group supports me doing whateeevvver I want”. I wouldn’t say that’s their whole motivation, it only takes a little bit of envy, and a social structure to validate and encourage it.

They’re angry because their tribe is at war, and the promises they’ve been tempted with are at stake.

If gender isn’t sex, then “gender” should be completely irrelevant for every single thing that matters. Their whole movement relies on the confusion most people have about the “new meanings” of words, and while they’re confused, these people live out their sick fantasies to the detriment of everyone around them.

“Oh it’s women’s sports, that must be referring to gender. I’m a woman, let me play” breaks an opponent’s skull

A lot of what makes people “street smart” is trust management. Recognizing who you’re trusting and how much, and whether they deserve it.

I have a feeling that the only reason AI is competitive with modern music is the general lack of creativity due to things like what’s alleged in the OP.

I’d say it depends on the text of the article. Simply reporting on what the CDC says is informative, in that it tells us what the CDC is saying.

Worst part is the rush hour day traffic there and back

Am I the only one who gets errors when trying to view images posted to catbox?

Eventually. But in the meantime, I won’t complain about more opportunities to pop some corn.

Also to get to that point we need as many people as possible to want them gone.

On every recent youtube video relating to Boeing, nearly every single comment calls out the suspicious circumstances. Everyone knows what happened to that whistleblower.

Is the image gone? The link doesn’t work for me, neither does the preview

Beautiful

This makes a lot of sense. When good people lack vigilance, evil is able to advance under their noses, but only steadily, at a snail’s pace. Any faster and alarms would go off.

Warp Speed pressured them to push their luck and trigger those alarms.

News flash, dude. Every race is a minority on the scale of the whole world. Unless you want to start arbitrarily lumping together groups that have almost nothing to do with each other.

And if you consider killing people to be a viable means of “cleansing”, you need to get help.

I get carried away sometimes. Thank you.

Why does this fruit (and IVM) not count as medicine? You’re just picking and choosing your favorite treatments arbitrarily, “this is legitimate but this isn’t, because I say so.”

also, the prophet Jeremiah was a satanist?

And if that’s your takeaway from Matthew then you missed the entire point of what Jesus was saying. “Why do you hang around with sinners?” “healthy people don’t need a doctor.” (but the sick do, that’s implied)

2 Kings 20:7

Revelation 22:2

Jeremiah 8:22

Matthew 9:12

Read up. And don’t insult people who are already suffering by implying that they’re not trying hard enough, or aren’t faithful enough.
