You could back it by essentially anything, even river rocks if need be (slight hyperbole).

The problem is that our money isn't really backed by anything except our stranglehold on the world, and that is steadily slipping as we've given all of our manufacturing (and with it IPs and technological advancements) to foreign countries and now rely on places like China, hostile foreign nations, even to produce our medicine for us.

Backing it with something tangible is an automatic improvement.

Those appeals to guilt are ridiculous. It is a civil protest that forces them to complain to their managers and report that it is disliked, or the company/store goes broke.

It sucks for the workers it affects, but it sucks for the cultural decay more to have the store doing this

I am shocked that's a thing too because that's inarguable theft and extortion.

Clearly when we are forced to secede to avoid association with the left, we will have to name the new country Magadonia in honor of Trump

A catsfive hater, I guess. I have also criticized catsfive a lot, but I still respect his efforts even if sometimes some decisions hit a flat note and I don't like them.

It's not easy to moderate a community, especially a community that is specifically attacked by both sides.

Do people go too far sometimes in their revenge fantasies? Sure. That's not up for contention.

But tolerance of evil is in itself evil.

They show no signs of repentance or goodwill, they repeatedly disguise their actions as good and gaslight masses into participating, tolerating and defending it. That's extremely problematic, as they lead children down an awful path of sin from their childhood; they don't even get a chance to be innocent as that innocence is robbed from them.

What about instances within the Bible of righteous revenge?

There is no distinction. It isn't black and white like that, and absolutely never was.

Reminder that you are commanded to hate evil.

The internet brings mass information to the masses, so now you need less experience or education on paper anyway.

The only value college brings other than the papers is offering hands on experience, which is invaluable... but replaceable, especially if you find someone in your field that will see your potential and offer you training.

It also makes it easier than ever for people to put together a plan using publicly available information to push you forward.

College is 100% over valued in the era of the internet.

Getting old and weak in general can lead to that too though, and some people are born with deficiencies that require gait correction for one reason or another.

Just preparing people for the inevitable arguments of defense.

Just stay out of the splash zone

You might catch something.

It is fine to want revenge on those who would commit atrocities against children.

It is righteous even.

I just remember the discussion on how he was most definitely right, and people didn't like being told that ingestion of snake venom would not behave the way that he tried to imply as our bodies would metabolize it unless we had open wounds. Neat to see him acting exactly as I expected.

It is relevant to national interests and could sway votes, as it would've before 2020's election.

A culture was cultivated that emphasizes being correct over all else, and you can't be wrong because some authority told you that you were right, and if you're wrong then everything you believe is a lie and that is hard to reconcile.

People believe they're more intelligent than they are, and this creates its own problems too. It's fine (and expected) to substitute education with intelligence, but not at the cost of confusing them as being the same thing. People desperately want to be "right" because being "wrong" is stigmatized so harshly.

I also believe that, in part, there is a lack of humility amongst humans nowadays, at least outspoken ones. To be humble is considered weakness, and to admit being wrong is a manifestation of that weakness -- and people want to pretend to be strong.

It would be a major black pill for Trump supporters?

100% a black pill for a lot of them.

Patriots already has a ton of DeSantis vs Trump infighting.

Goalposts don't move, that's true.

However, justifications do. And I do believe that is a legitimate criticism.

First: You should ask why everyone you know is sick.

Second: You're actually wrong. 9/10 times, people will say it was COVID, especially since the tests will give you a positive regardless of what you're sick with or even if you're not sick at all a good chunk of the time.

Avoid allowing confirmation biases and a pretty face to lure you in.

She's an opportunist, that's all.
