"eat the shit sandwich" is unbelievably crass when talking about the suicide of a teenage girl who was their student. Fucking hell.

Demonizing probably the nicest man in history is a good indicator that you're the villain.

I can only interpret it as "fuck you, deal with it". My sister committed suicide over 20 years ago and if anyone talked like this to me today I don't know that I would handle it legally. It's so fucked up.

Hi. I'm a brewer. You might not care about malt distribution but maybe you can understand that a lot of breweries run on small margins. If we suddenly have to pay a lot more for malt we will either have to raise our prices or go out of business. Raising prices might also drive us out of business because less people will be inclined to buy our beer. So it does affect you as a consumer, whether you care or not.

There are only two choices that matter, unfortunately. Voting third party may as well mean not voting at all. Vote in primaries, vote locally and vote for whoever is for voting reform.

Used to be a time when retirement age was 65. More and more shit is being automated but for some reason I have to keep working longer.

Apathy is acceptance. Apathy is death.

It happened to me when I played Star Wars: The Old Republic. I'd played it since the beta and finished the story with all classes but I decided to play as a female sith warrior and I constantly got messages from dudes complimenting my thick ass or wanting me to humiliate them and be their dominatrix mistress. It really put into perspective the shit women go through. Especially since my character didn't even have a skimpy outfit.

"faux sophistication". Pot calling kettle black.

I got my license in Sweden and there are laws for when you must have summer tires and winter tires as well as how deep the pattern needs to be. This is all covered in the writing portion of the test. It's quite possible that someone driving with wheels like that might get their license suspended at the least.

Supporting Ukraine is not the reason people are dying. Russia, and only Russia, is the reason people are dying.

I can give Starship Troopers a pass though. Making it into a satire of fascism works better than it being straight up fascist propaganda. The book is basically a social experiment and people who read books will most likely get the point. People who don't read on the other hand...

Also add some mindflayer tentacle sex to make the japanese audience feel at home and comfortable.

Yes. Everything affects the consumer. That's why some consumers care about it. I don't understand why you can't wrap your head around that.

Build a wall around it and make Mexicans pay for it.

That's amazing. How did he even get hired? You'd think there would at least have been one red flag.

SyFy also did the same shit as Netflix and cancelled all their shows after two seasons. I liked a lot of their shows but after a while SyFy became synonymous with "no point in getting invested" which is where Netflix has been for a long time for me. I dropped it long before the password crackdown crap. Hoist the sails, me mateys!

You need to understand that violent people will kill a pacifist. Quite easily.

Someone made a mod using actual pokemon and put it behind a paywall, meaning they were making money off of Nintendo's IP. Anyone would get into legal trouble for that. It doesn't have anything to do with Palworld directly. Same thing would have happened if someone charged money for a mod that added Pokemon to Fallout 4.

Move it here.

That was so bizarre. He thought he was making a point for child marriage but any sane person would see it as the opposite.

Shitty CV. What has he done recently?

Trump pulled out of pretty much every deal and treaty Obama had made and started trade wars with US allies. This has made diplomacy significantly harder for the US because now we all know that any deal we make with the US is only good until possibly the next election. This means it will be harder for the US to make any deal with any nation and the US are as reliant on global trade as everyone else. It's similar to Brexit where the UK leadership basically told all their allies to eat shit. It's going to be a while until they get any good deals with the EU.

Sounds like something a dirty elf would say.

This is the kind of shit the internet was made to argue about.

World's oldest current democracy. It also has all the oldest flaws. USA and UK are stuck with a system that will always end up with two parties filled with wildly different politicians. Biden and AOC are both democrats. Trump and Romney are both republicans. What does each party stand for? Who the fuck knows? Republicans haven't stood for anything for the last 10 years or so. Democrats have countered all that with "being normal and not rocking the boat". Democrats are acting like your mom after her boyfriend beat her. "We can work something out later when we've all calmed down".

What is really happening today is that the US has one party with politicians who actually do the job. The other party is an insane asylum where the craziest bitch gets the most attention. This means that every time one party has a popular vote the other party gets even more insane. And the first party, not wanting to alienate voters try meet half way. This is like your mom begging you to talk to your stepdad after he beat your sister. That's how America got so far into neoliberalism, fascism and one election away from dictatorship. Multi party system works because it forces compromise and even if the government changes it won't swing as hard as it did after Obama.

Just like crossing a street.

Cunk on Earth. It's on Netflix. I highly recommend it.

Neeeeerd!

Although you're right.

Some Democrats do. You find them in the primaries. It's how politicians like AOC got to where they are. But it starts with people like you paying attention in primaries.

Ah yes. The big kerfuffle.

Hard r and everything.

Sweden is pretty much the same as this.

What an absolute clown take. Has a travel agency ever shown up at your house and forced you to go visit some resort, under threat of violence? Biggest straw man I've ever seen.

You're halfway there. But not voting at all is giving a vote to the opposition. And they vote no matter who.

And bigger hands.

Hahaha! And he's going to do it again.

Vote in the primaries, put in the work in the primaries. And if you don't get it, vote not Hitler.
