Nah. You could totally make it seem like you are doing a Mamdani anywhere. You just have to be savvy about it. People don't give a shit about who does the thing so much as the thing gets fucking done.

If some town - even one run by a city council where the power is divided - decided to get their shit together and be like "hey, we can say fuck this partisan nonsense and just like... take a bunch of social media videos of us doing things, people would eat it up and we would have support to do the shit we really want."

But no one wants to do that. They want to make it so only their side gets the good press, to hell with the end costs. To hell with how that stagnation fucks with people.

Then it escalates to the point that everyone realizes there's more money and consolidation of power in not doing shit and you eventually get to where we are.

I feel like him losing $650 million in 5 weeks and it causing no huge issue with his lifestyle is one of the biggest arguments for a wealth tax someone can make.

The answer doesn't matter much. It is an attempt at interaction farming. Everyone (like they did on this post) comments various things that are obviously wrong but it boosts the post, which is the important part.

It is literally clickbait.

Small enough that it would be impractical. Especially considering most people have phones that do that already. Let me put it like this: think of how crazy it would be to make a battery that small. If you made a battery that was small enough to power a GPS that would work and the signal wouldn't be picked up by everything immediately, you would have GOD Tier technology. Why would you even care if people would be able to find it at that point?

Nah. She probably deals with fucking crazy people all day. She works in the worst kind of customer service. That's someone that knows how to de-escalate. I mean, she 100% knew she was on thin ice as it was just appearing with Trump.

Honestly I could see it going down exactly the way that the post says. I've seen posts from Chappel Roan herself saying she's had people do exactly what the kid describe and then act like she was a victim for having to deal with fans.

Like, she's for sure dealt with some fan interactions that 100% crossed a line but also she's had people walk up to her and ask for autographs and she tells them to fuck off and then posts on social media about how hard her life is because people won't leave her alone.

And if you don't behave in exactly the way that she thinks is appropriate she publicly throws a fit about it. She's stopped concerts multiple times to do that. Like, I remember one time where someone wasn't dancing enough at a concert in the balcony or something and she yelled at them and as I was trying to confirm that, I found another video of her telling someone not to yawn at a different concert.

I don't think I've ever seen a story about her being nice to a fan. To the point that i I liked her music but it really soured me to her as a performer. Some people are just shitty and entitled. Real shit if I saw her I would probably pull out a phone and start recording just to piss her off because it would 100% happen.

I mean, the 6th is also the feast of the epiphany which is the start of Mardi Gras so like... it is a major holiday to SOME of us...

In the series those companies have enough security that it doesn't particularly matter and is effectively impossible. Also what are they going to steal? Real, physical money isn't much of a thing.

Though there is a recurring character that uses the Purge to attack the NFFA while doing community work. I forget his name but he is labeled a terrorist.

Though the TV show has someone robbing a bank.

Look at the cars in the background. The closest white one doesn't have a brand on it at all. Also, the headlight and bumper on white car, immediately behind the people, is off. Also, one of the cars (the black one specifically) looks like it is parked in a trashcan. Like, it is merged with it somehow? There is some weird shit going on with the black jacket on her left side. The stop light is to nowhere - you see cars turning and should see where they are turning, but they disappear behind the cars parked on the street. The entire background is made to look blurry like it is artifacts from a bad upload but if you look at the lines on the building they make zero sense.

And the easiest one: text on the mic has three squares where the call letters of the station should be and is morphing on the bottom when the reporter brings the microphone back to herself.

And the biggest one: when you go to the tiktok page visible on the video, they admit it is AI.

Fucking pedophiles.

There's a theory that Barron is the child of Melania and her bodyguard.

As an American Acadian descendant of Canadian Acadians, I was very confused by that Acadian flag. Ours is a little different.

If it was equivalent mass, it would just be the Sun without light.

Waymo is a self driving car. A bunch of people seemed to have made it so that the car isn't moving and are tagging the car.

I'm from the place that the original Cthulhu cult is found in Call of Cthulhu (vaguely Louisiana swamps). I like it. Fuck him for being racist towards us. lol

It could be me projecting because I've gone through something similar- and I should say some of this goes out the window because kids were involved - but I felt bad for the dude.

It isn't like all this stuff happened overnight. He was abused. This is what abuse looked like. And it was a very slow frog in water situation where in hindsight it is easy to judge but he was broken down slowly over the course of years.

The sort of public humiliation he was dealing with is intense, especially because he had the person he loved doing it.

Like, yes, he could have been a better father. I'm not excusing that. But at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the edge of suicide and hates himself for what his kids had to deal with. I wager that in a few years, once he's had more of a chance to deprogram himself, he's going to have a very different view on this situation.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans blamed this on Muslims.

Namadafatasonanholyghost!

Sit down. Be nice. Jesus loves you!

Have a cracker.

Namadafatasonanholyghost, see ya next week!

(17 minutes is impressive lol the drive to and back from church is longer than the churching)

I feel like it is really really easy for 3rd parties to say they wouldn't when they have approximately zero skin in the game. Like, the largest 3rd party in the US, the Libertarian party, has 1 elected official in one state lower house.

And he was elected as a Republican.

But every year they like to come out of the woodwork and make a big deal about running for President, which they know they can't win.

Does it? Smaller hippos are 3 times the size of larger polar bears. And that's 3 times of muscle. They have something like foot long tusks and don't have to swim. Hippo bodies a polar bear like a toy.

In fact, here's a video of hippos doing just that to an animal that is about the size of a polar bear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ao55J9eevU

It isn't the job of most Americans to know that sort of thing.

Eh. It was always a slightly sexist thing because it made the mother of the wolf unable to hide that she had kids with another werewolf (even if she wasn't willing) and it was sort of abelist because it marked the werewolf who was the metis with it.

Also metis is both a term for a Native American tribe and for a mixed Native American person.

No but seriously, why does this person need to run for President (in a race they will have no fucking chance to win) instead of a local election (where they actually have a chance) instead of splitting the vote.

I don't like Biden but FFS, the guy is loads better than the alternative. You're not going to turn the tide like this. You're just going to end up with Trump appointing two more seats on the SCOTUS.

And when she gets it back, Vasher points out that she will basically not age. And I think it says at 5th heightening you gain agelessness in the appendix.

I mean, purple eyes exist IRL, they're just SUPER rare. Yellows aren't as rare. My eyes are Hazel and they look yellow - think Madam Hooch from Harry Potter or the "vegan" vampires in Twilight (I fucking hated that book explicitly for that reason).
