Anything that suggests you believe the current state of the world is acceptable outs you as a lib. Saying things like “Yeah Biden’s got some problems, but at least he didn’t do a few of the things trump did.” If you believe that things would have been fine were it not for trump, you’re a lib. Or a moron, I cant always tell the difference.

Heres a great summary of liberalism: “If we put forward good policies into the politics machine, then other people will too, and because I have absolute faith in the system established by a bunch of slave owners, whatever comes out MUST be just and good.” Which of course implies that if the result you want or need DOESNT come out of the politics machine, it is right and just that you should not get it.

Like, they fundamentally don’t realize that the politics machine is capable of breaking, and that it has been broken for a LONG time (basically the moment it was asked to value the needs of someone who wasn’t wealthy, white, and male.)

I suggest just not saying anything about it ever, and just tell the US govt you’re not a citizen at all if they ask.

That’s not what I suggested at all. Its obviously possible though. Do you not know what the words “could” or “possibly” mean? They don’t mean probable.

Oh I get it, the reason you said I missed the point is that you actually completely missed my point.

Yeah okay, I obviously don’t have proof and also don’t give a fuck. Regardless, my point on Taylor was that she isn’t some supermodel. if I just knew her in real life, I’d have no issue deciding not to call her back, which isn’t true for most famous women. Obviously because Taylor is actually talented, while basically every other famous young woman was selected for fame almost entirely for her looks.

Are you really so pathetic you use an alt to double down vote me? This is a 3 week old thread and you have clearly voted twice on every comment, mine and yours. LMAO

Also you clearly missed the point entirely. Try spending time reading comments rather than switching between accounts.

So long as we never have to use this time machine, it works perfectly!

So you’re saying capitalism will literally never work? Based.

No, I’m not missing the point. I grasped the point, it was just a bad point.

Am I though?

This only works if you’re America, and even then only somewhat. Everybody else has to fear other places not valuing their currency as highly.

Counterpoint: this is theft. Counter-counterpoint: still okay because she’s a billionaire. But like, imagine waking up as someone normal, and you go and spend all their money. That’d be fucked up.

Why would I ever do it with men unless I’m talking to someone who’s into men?

I mean, she’s unattractive enough that I’d consider not going on a 2nd date if I wasn’t into her on the 1st. Where like a supermodel or whatever, I’d put up with not liking them for several months if she’s into me.

Blue moon is a terrible choice if you intend to have more than half of one. Just get a loaf of bread and dip it in a keystone Ice, it’ll taste better and have less wheat.

But then you lose great puns, which are half the reason English is such a great language. Consider “American Idiot”:

Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation Where everything isn’t meant to be okay.

The song works significantly better by using a pun, to say that it’s a nation of the alienated.

Nothing they had written was incorrect, on a site the size of Wikipedia, adding more true but functionally useless pages is only ever a (very minor) benefit. If there were only 1000 pages, sure, it’d be clutter. But it is already the case that to find anything you have to search for it, meaning it is a net positive to create those pages.

If it was a corporation, absolutely. It’s part of the risks they’re taking on as a business. But for a government, which is by definition non profit, you kinda have to mandate return of the funds. Otherwise the government as a whole could collapse.

Only 1 episode in, but I already love it for how cool the bending looks so far. The second Sozin incinerated a guy while holding him, I was sold.

I’ve only seen 1 episode so far, but IMO the format shift is worth it for the visual effects. Like, Sozin just straight up incinerating that guy would not have worked so well in the anime. And the actors seem quite good (the leads at least). My only real complaint is with the writing. And I mean, it’s not as if the original didn’t also have some pretty badly written lines in the first episodes. Adding in an actual 100 years earlier segment at the start is a big improvement, and it also gives us a taste of the kickass action scenes that are to come. At least for the intro to the show, live action seems significantly better than animated was.
