I got it as a 31-year-old with tons of experience. "Oh, we're looking for someone to do this unpaid internship, maybe that?" Nah man, I got this thing called "food" that I really like having at least once a day, and this other thing called "shelter" that's really nice to have. I'm not working for "experience", and honestly nobody should have to.
Exactly this. You're either rich, or you're working two full-time jobs, which will absolutely wreck the shit out of your mental and physical health in the long run.
I'm so glad my community college refused to offer or honor any internship that was unpaid (or paid less than a set amount). We even got the local university to go along with it, so now pretty much nobody offers unpaid internships in the area because they all realize that they'd be missing out on a huge labor pool otherwise.
He actually tried this in 2020. Said that since the Dems and everyone "blocked" him so much, his first term shouldn't count.
Remember as well that modern small arms rounds are built to inflict serious injury if they don't kill you outright - it takes more personnel to evac and care for a wounded soldier (unless you're doing what Russia is ALLEGEDLY doing and just killing soldiers too injured to fight).
Pretty much this. Since most presidential debates have abandoned fact-checking for this and the previous election, he's free to lie, and nobody but the other candidate can call her on it.
Except other states could use that as a case to federally disqualify a candidate. "Well they weren't on the ballot in all the states, can this be said to be a representative vote?"
Yang? Already flamed out once, and had very few specific policy goals beyond UBI.
AOC? If she accepts, which I doubt, she'll face challenges of "she's too young" despite her being of-age by the inauguration, and would certainly see a federal or SCOTUS case trying to disqualify her. I could see BOEs in multiple states trying to boot her off the ballot because of it.
Warren and Buttigieg both are saddled with lots of baggage - Warren's already been tarred as a nut by mainstream media, and Buttigieg's performance as Secretary of Transportation is...lackluster.
Michelle Obama would be foolish - it would see the same challenges as Hilary in the "we're building another dynasty" angle.
Oprah is a poor choice, Taylor Swift, same. Colbert and Fallon would seriously be BAD choices.
Who exactly do they have who's "better", who ALSO would agree to run, who ALSO doesn't have a mountain of baggage saddled with them? I've seen Whitmer thrown around, but she's had a serious smear campaign and a credible assassination attempt against her already. Beshear's another, he said he isn't going to accept even if the DNC nominates him. Sanders also gets tarred with the "but he's old" brush, plus the GOP can run thousands of hours of "he's a literall socialist". AOC is also similarly divisive, and I don't think she'd accept anyway.
And at the end of the day, if you have separated it but you're STILL not sure, throw it out. Not having mushrooms is preferable to being a corpse.
Most plants that we eat are excellent at taking up heavy metals too - potatoes and herbs especially.
Kentucky just allowed 12 year olds to work for nonprofits 18 hours a week.
Switch is a woman outside of the Matrix in the final cut. Early scripts called for Switch to be male in the Real World, but studio censors thought that was a little too daring.
The solace is that their island will likely be swallowed by the sea in fairly short order.
Honestly this. My work still gets done and dealt with. At the end of the day, that's what matters - if you want me to take more, pay me.
Pretty much this. Nobody else has really stepped into the role because despite a lot of outright fascist politicians existing, very, very few of them have the charisma or forceful confidence of Trump. That is the X factor: Trump throws 1000% of himself into any statement, no matter how minor, and preens and brags about every last thing. He doesn't back down, he doesn't acknowledge defeat, he doesn't even acknowledge if he's outright wrong. He is the archetypical firehose of falsehood, and people love him because of it.
I can't see anyone - not Vance, Haley, Ventura, ANYONE - outclassing the sheer tidal wave of personality that Trump has cultivated around himself in the political sphere.
The Nazis never believed they were the "pure" ones. They believed that their generation, and the generation they gave birth to, were already lost causes and their children's children would be the first vanguard of their "perfect" Aryan race.
Also, they were armed with new AR-15 rifles, which not all of them had been trained to handle yet. The rookie who, by his own admission, was handling the rifle in the following car said he fell (he was standing up) and believed the weapon discharged as the car accelerated, as his hand automatically gripped tighter due to the sudden acceleration. This is further muddied by the fact that the SS probably stole parts of the remains to cover up the fact they might have accidentally killed JFK.
And considering that most of the other presumptive candidates for the GOP are even more unhinged than Trump, it's hard to not see this as someone attempting to seat, say, Nikki Haley.
