Wait, I'm allowed to say no? I didn't need to marry him? That's not what my bro said when he proposed! I should divorce him, but well... Too late now to turn back. πŸ’€

  • Step 1: Claim you want a baby boom.
  • Step 2: Step in to remove authority from parents, while replacing them in the 'education' of the new generation.
  • Step 3: Enjoy elite life with an entire population of modern slaves who don't know or dream of better.

Vance and co. needs meat for his economic meat grinder when he reaches Trump's age. Trump, egomaniacal as can be, is doing it "for the greater good", whatever it may mean for him.

The US's founding fathers would be proud of how the nation they forcibly took away from the British Empire is being used as a dirty rag against every single democratic value and representation of the individual in a fair society. The very same values which allowed these wannabe kings to rise from peasants who would otherwise have to kneel before the british monarch.

Shameless, to betray the very foundation of the nation that took them and their ancestors in and allowed them to prosper, to be able to enjoy the "american dream" they so want to deny others.

Nope, it has a protective case all around.

Right, plus car keys.

Earbud case and home keys on the left.

There's those who commit unintended mistakes, then there's those who give in to the temptation of behaving badly in their moments of weakness, and then there's those who can't wait for any given opportunity to behave maliciously and justify it by saying they aren't the only ones doing it.

Hey, don't judge me for commiting ethnic cleansing! Hitler did it as well, after all! And that one single bad apple in your group is mildly racist as well, so you're no better!

Console gamer here as well, though with a PC and redeeming my weekly Epic Games since a few years back. I sometimes play on my PC, but mostly games I don't have on my console.

Most of what I hear I believe it's mostly due to the Epic Launcher being quite a bit behind standard, and the store not having great costumer service policies. I think Epic's games with timed exclusivity don't garner a lot of respect from the gaming community either, as they rather have freedom of choice to purchase their games on their main storefront.

Now, I think it'll be obvious, but all of what I mentioned is further impacted by the comparison between Epic (or most other launchers, really) and Steam. Steam might as well be called the "default launcher" at this point, and naturally not everyone can compete (or they don't want to) with the numerous and consistently good business decisions Steam tends to have, which keeps it in the top.

Not only that, and even though I still benefit from it, I'd say Epic's strategy of offering weekly free games might feel like a sort of 'obvious bribe' to some, a cheap way to try and vainly make gamers turn on their main competitor. Which isn't really moving the needle that much, because gamers preference for Steam isn't due to free games, but good and consumer-oriented business practices.

I'm sure from gamer to gamer there's more depth to this, but I'd say that's the gist of it.

Well, Europe welcomes them, their talents and their research. And it's a stable place, which in any other circumstance would just be the bare minimum instead of an actual benefit.

What better way to manipulate someone with self-worth issues who must flaunt his "power" and "wealth" to "prove others wrong" than stroking his fragile ego?

Small pp energy. Or rather, botched pp energy in this specific case.

Same for the Trump and co. axis of evil - a bunch of adult children with ego issues wanting revenge on the world that belittled or thwarted their constant schemes, all banded together.

Oh shoot. What did Biden do this time? Who's constantly letting him sneak back into the White House to sign random stuff with the DJT signature?

So I learned today that, supposedly, 86 is a really old code:

According to Merriam-Webster, β€œ86” is used as a colloquial term meaning β€œto throw out,” β€œto get rid of,” or β€œto refuse service to.”

As for 47, that'd be Trump, the 47th POTUS. So, in essence, and despite debate on its actual intended meaning in this context, it could be perceived as "take out" "the 47th" - 86 47.

 

My DUI guy out there being lambasted by these nasty people and their evidence of his incompetence and dishonesty... What has the world come to? /s

 
  • Ukraine is getting the upper hand against Russian invasion with help from allies (including Biden Admin)

Trump Admin enters the chat:

  • Calls Zelensky a dictator
  • Says Ukraine "shouldn't have started the war"
  • Humiliates Zelensky before the world in Oval Office
  • Lies about Europe sending less aid than the US towards Ukraine
  • Profits by reinvesting a big percentage of the war aid in replenishing its own arsenal from donating nearly defunct weapons and replacing them with cutting edge gear, but claims it's being taken advantage of
  • Begins talks with Russia without Ukraine present
  • Undermines Zelensky by attempting to manipulate his political opposition behind the scenes
  • Says Ukraine better be "ready to lose some land"
  • Implies they could shut off starlink support "if they wanted to"
  • Cuts off aid packages and strategic intel, costing Ukraine their bargaining chip in Kursk
  • Starts a trade war with the whole planet, applying tariffs on everyone except for Russia and its allies
  • Attempts to extort Ukraine for 50% of its minerals in perpetuity, in exchange for nothing
  • Signals Russia that the US is ready to cozy up to them and lift sanctions
  • Bails on Ukraine after realizing "this is harder than it seemed"

Boy, what went wrong? They did everything right since they took office. /s /s /s

Some people are much more valuable staying the heck away on what they're clearly unqualified for, than with this kind of "help".
