Xena Warrior Princess

Adding to this, she's also too concerned about what other people (her social betters not her family) think of her to be truly independent. She is strong, however.

Oct 7 was the pretense Bibi needed to start his genocide. Why would they stop it?

Same thing as George W. Bush (moreso Cheney and Haliburton) wanting war in the middle east and letting 9-11 happen despite actionable intelligence beforehand.

So does giving a rival head of state "the Osama Bin Laden treatment".

How about we nationalize all three instead, start operating them for the public good?

You're underestimating the effect of his father knowing the right people. Yes, there was no "small million-dollar loan" and yes Warren actually hustled quite a bit to capitalize on the advantages given to him by his father, but that doesn't erase those advantages when talking about his success.

Hard work is not the thing that got him where he is. If it were there are millions of people working multiple who should also be billionaires. Or, better yet, no one should be a billionaire at all and we make it so people don't have to work multiple jobs to survive, but I digress.

Buffett himself is a nepo-baby. His father was a congressman who's connections were very helpful when starting out in business and investing.

Sure it isn't Emerald mine money, but you can't tell me being the son of a 4-term congressman didn't give him a leg up.

As Catherine Ryan put it: "She's just an innocent gold digger who got in way over her head".

Appropriate? No. Inevitable in a culture that fetishizes guns and stigmatizes reaching out for help? Unfortunately yes.

You're blaming her for being murdered by saying she should have married a "good man".

That's pure unadulterated incel shit.

Blame the killer, and the police who enabled him, not the victim.

The democratic party had consistently failed us, at least since the continuation Reaganism under the Clinton administration, but that's just my lifetime and probably started before then.

They know it's her, they're just shielding themselves from libel claims. The same way they'll say "allegedly" until a conviction.

At most corporate pizza places only a fraction of the delivery charge goes to the driver. My job, for example, charges $4.99 for delivery and gives the drivers $0.60.

These graphs could be used to justify ripping someone's head off.

As someone who doesn't play games from AAA studios or Early-Access games, I don't really experience any of these problems.

Oh please, look at that year book photo again and tell me seriously that he wasn't bullied.

Has anyone found a way to get out of this hobby? Asking for a friend.

It gets better: check out The Hague Invasion Act.

Long story short congress has given blanket authority to any US president to rescue any American or allied personnel from ICC imprisonment by any means necessary.

Netanyahu could qualify as allied personnel.

The US could invade the Netherlands to free Netanyahu from the ICC without any sort of debate.

Game Mastering for TTRPGs. Set up can take some work, but it's a great creative outlet and, once you find the right group, soooo much fun. I personally started off with Paranoia XP and moved from there to a couple different systems before landing on D&D 5e. There are some great rules-light systems like Kids on Bikes/ Kids on Brooms or Paranoia Perfect Edition if the behemoth of D&D (with its multiple text-book sized rule books) seems daunting.

ETA: there's also entire libraries of advice on GMing out there for assistance if you need it.

Slight correction: it's equity not equality.

Equality is everyone being treated the same way regardless of differences.

Equity is everyone being provided with the tools they need to succeed taking individual differences into account.

This is the goal, whether or not it succeeds depends on how it's implemented.

Already exists. The Peloton subreddit has a guide on rooting your bike and installing custom apks.

They've certainly gotten more hostile to mods since the M$ acquisition. At least mods that don't want to play ball with the creation club nonsense.

A liberal believes capitalism is broken and needs to be fixed.

A socialist believes capitalism is working as intended and needs to be destroyed.

This is likely for new models of Interceptors so that cops don't have to hold those heavy radar guns to generate revenue. Instead they can automatically ticket speeders while driving to the donut shop or their next victim's house.

So you're saying an English class shouldn't study modern usages of the language and only read older pieces that are considered "important" by an unspecified metric? Sounds totally reasonable

I was actually assuming the opposite, because if the AI won they'd want to brag about it.

It needs "reform" as in it needs to be completely dismantled and re-formed with all new justices.

Minnesotan here, he's a homerun. Living under his governorship has been great (for one thing we've actually got a public option for health insurance here) and I'll be a little sad to see him go. His Lt Governor is also great, though, so we'll be okay.

I guarantee you the ar-15 owner is a Fox News watcher. It would explain his paranoia and fear of strangers.

He'd play the tape at campaign events just to rile them up.

Then you congratulate yourself for dodging a bullet and focus your efforts on people who don't play those kinds of games.

Someone who sends a text like that is also the sort of person to "forget" their birth control or lie about std test results. So yeah maybe you got your dick wet, but now you're paying for child support and syphilis medication.

True, but she also posted her lies publicly using her real name, so it isn't as though her name isn't already out there.

Yeah, he's fair game now. He could have been like that one Trump daughter whose name I forget because she's entirely out of the spotlight, but no, he wants to join the family grift.

Poor Howard Dean, we could use that enthusiasm now.

Not in socks

I've yet to see him deny being a couch fucker and the AP retracted their correction when someone pointed out that they can't prove he never fucked a couch. If this bullying causes him to leave the campaign, then it's working as intended. Along with being a couch fucker, JD Vance is, like all Republicans, a spineless weasel obsessed with acquiring power any way he can.

Is calling Vance a couch fucker any worse than Republicans alleging that Harris slept her way to the top?

Skill issue.

Check the deals tab on the website, you could have gotten a medium and cheesy bread for at least $10 less that what you paid for this.

Don't blame the restaurant when you won't even try to save money.

Me, who was adopted as a child: "Oh they forgot about adoption again. I'm shocked."
