Shows how they are absurdly stupid or just beyond disingenuous with their framing nonstop. Either way they can't help themselves.

Reporter says "you guys are the foot soldiers of a fascist regime, right?"

After they laugh in the reporters face, he says "Is that funny?"

They aren't laughing because they think it would be funny to be said footsoldiers. They are laughing because you are a clown.

I think it is just a figurative way to say that 99% of people will be shocked to know the truth.

It is a saying that "i was so shocked/surprised i had (or nearly had) a heart attack"

People go to the hospital if they have a heart attack (and are alive).

So it is just saying the truth will shock 99% of people.

Just a side question about shorting....

Doesn't it seem kind of silly?

Especially on the grand scale.

Like if you short a shit ton of shares, who are you selling it to?

People who intend to hold it for it to go up....

So there is nothing but an immediate turn down in price because of increased supply, but only selling to people who want to gamble on the asset going up and will hold.

Am I missing something here?

You can't make the same case for simply buying stock, because some people are just cashing out some of their gains or are just realizing losses to go another direction. They aren't selling necessarily because they think it will go down.

I will be seriously disillusioned with politics if there isn't meaningful change, but excited to see the possibilities.

I just don't want change to come in some fucked up way like the covid shit that happened in round 1.

I literally don't even realize when the time changes happen other than it getting dark early as fuck. As in, I dont even know it has happened until I'm like "wtf it's dark already?"

If people want that not to happen so abruptly, I'm cool with that. I'm also cool with it staying the way it is. There are pros and cons to both sides that I looked into before.

As others have said, I feel there are more important issues to think about, but you can do more than one thing at the same time.

You're a fuckin idiot. No, they are just trying to get as much money as they can back before they die.

Them taking your money and finding any pretense to not give it back is the problem.

Any spousal this, waive that is fucked up stupid shit. Give us our God damn money.

There should bare minimum be the option to lump sum everything you have paid in (even that is you taking it in the ass). But it would force them to actually keep a clean book and only play with the fuckton of interest they can make on all that money you invest over your life.

As usual any joke can become reality with these people.

They have already made the shift to "climate change" which makes "more weather extremes".

The would simply argue that having 0 hit landfall in a year is very extreme weather pattern due to its rarity as evidence for climate chamge

Exactly. I'll take the win, but only to further the ball roll to zero.

I agree with you that we should likely ban them as well, but will take voluntary status for all if it is the only politically possible end to the mandatory pressure bullshit.

How tall did you make the hedge. Im very enticed by this plant because it is food producing and has mature heights that are much higher than fences you are allowed to build.

I would likely plant it in front of a chain link fence, keep a bit of space and let it get as high as I can reach with an A-frame ladder.

Also how thin can i make the hedge to make it impossible to see through when it has the leaves?

Obviously the vaccine thing is only one person "wins" when default opinions differ.

Maybe slow pill it sooner rather than later by saying "I think we should look into things before we have to make a decision".

Might work smoother than what I had to do, which is lay down the law. Burned a lot of "we're in this together" capital, but got my way. Definite downsides to just trying to strong-arm it, even through reason.

You could have the same system with no money requirement barrier, AKA no real estate tax.

For example, reaffirming to the county you would like to keep the property, with a system in place to actively reach out if people aren't doing so themselvrs.

If people aren't even willing to testify...."Yes, I still want to own this", when it might be taken away, then there is no aggrieved party.

After chatgpt can scrape things talking about this, its answer will probably be....

"You asking this question literally turned the answer to yes."

Fuuuuck bro. Magic isn't real. Its obvious.

Dudes can't be chicks. Unless you want to just define a femine dude as a chick.

Abortion is convenient/opportunistic murder. Unless you want to just define human as already born.

Its all fucking obvious with common sense.

These people are so bad at arguing a "palatable" stance to shoe in their objectives.

Not saying I agree with this, but consider how much more direct and reasonable the person sounds if they aren't retarded.

Question: Do you think race should be considered in employer hiring practices?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What race do you think should be preferred?

Answer: Whichever race happens to be underrepresented in the workforce, relative to the demographics.

The fact they can't argue in this way basically illuminates that it is entirely an attack to help specific groups, and not to help all peoples or society as a whole.

If you were to steelman why we need the department of education, what would you say?

Probably money/standards related. He addressed the standards reason.

This needs to come with a proportional reduction in tax.

If we are paying money anyway, education is one of the more noble uses of the money (not saying they do it right).

I do not trust them to not spend it anyway.

Even if the other numbers were zero, that 7mil number is crazy.

Carson is good in his own right with the added perk that the pick can't hurt the continued drift of black Americans away from the democrat party.

Even if he doesn't take the throne afterward, the change in voting demographics could ensure the throne for another republican.
