Moreover, surrendering whatever Russia sticks a flag in is appeasement nonsense. We've already seen this strategy before WWII: *oh, Germany will be OK if we just cede Czechoslovakia. Oh, Germany won't attack if we cede Alsace-Lorraine...." An aggressive power like Russia, who already tried to annex large portions of another sovereign nation in 2008 (they invaded Georgia and got their shit kicked in because they tried the whole "three day thunder run" strategy), almost certainly will not stop if you just "give them what they want". Eventually, they'll want more, and more, and more, and you wind up surrendering slice after slice after slice of your country.
This one makes sense if the parents are old enough to have used silver nitrate film. Really old film can, and will, just catch fire on on its own if it's even moderately hot and dry.
He also claimed the war didn't leave him with any bad memories, but he's got a whole marsh where dead people pull other people into the bog to drown.
Weirdly totally not about the Somme according to Tolkien.
I believe the Sermon on the Mount essentially says "clothe the naked, feed the hungry, take care of the sick.". No limits on time.
The Didoche was written in an era where Christian communities generally had little wealth and were constantly in danger of arrest or execution. This is NOT the case in most places now, and especially not in the US, which this meme is referencing.
Nobody who's suggesting state assistance is suggesting that we "take care" of people forever, at least not under the current system. Indeed, the data pretty easily shows that if you give people a place to stay, solid food aid, and some cash to deal with bills and miscellania, they start being functioning members of society, and get jobs and start the detox process or whatever interventions they need, really quick, like within months. This has been trialed even in the US in places like Denver, and it works.
So what you're really saying is "I don't want more of my money going to helping other people." Have fun being the richest man in the cemetery.
Green is running Stein again, I thought? Except she's gone pretty much towards the same extreme isolationism as Oliver and RFK.
Every name that's been floated polls worse and has SOME form of baggage attached, or is a complete and utter unknown.
In fact, it would have to be the DoJ or Congress that did so - Biden could order the DoJ to stop, and arguably could have anyone in Congress killed or jailed without trial by stating that they presented a clear danger to democracy by trying to impeach him.
See: Jill Stein, whoever the fuck the Libertarians are running now, Gary Johnson.
Your first mistake is thinking that people like Thomas actually feel empathy for other people that aren't them. There's been studies on this - wealth, especially extreme wealth, physiologically changes how your brain processes things like empathy, altruism, etc.
Especially when so many states are decriminalizing weed, this could definitely make a lot of state prosecutors very very happy.
Nah, remember his "little guys with yarmulkes" thing back in 2016? He likes minorities so long as they "know their place".
I suggest we all start revering Ahura Mazda.
Even when those aid vehicles are clearly marked and identify themselves as aid vehicles after they're opened fire upon.
Not these Teslas, from what I understand. The type of glass they use is EXTREMELY resistant to shattering.
The "slaves built the Pyramids" thing has been pretty well-debunked by anthropologists and archaeologists, who both agree that something as monumental as building the vehicle of the Pharaoh's ascent to the afterlife would not have been something Egypt would've forced slaves to labor on. Aside from the obvious chances of revolt, there's a lot of religious reasons, and many agree that it was likely seen as a GREAT honor - backed up by inscriptions of the masons that worked the stone (found in some reliefs), or painters, etc. It's not unlikely that they used slave labor to quarry and transport the stones to the building site, but not to actually physically haul and build things AT the site.
Or even something as deceptively simple as a dugout canoe. For thousands of years, canoe-making was a closely-guarded secret among many Indian tribes here in the US, particularly on the Pacific coast - it would be a thing that your mentor, or your parent taught you, orally, over years.
Ahhh, but if you read the article, this is different. This redefines it to "if you PERCEIVE there to be a threat of death or injury" - meaning that any suburban cowboy can just blast the bear wandering through their backyard and not hurting anyone because "well I figured it would hurt my kids if it came towards the house". Kinda like how Wyoming relaxed hunting laws to allow farmers to kill pretty much whatever wolves they came across.
Honestly, same here. I despise what they enabled, and continue to enable. I also despise that they're facing homelessness and serious healthcare issues because nobody should have to face that, regardless of how repugnant I might find their beliefs and actions. I honestly hope that they manage to get out from under this and continue to live long, healthy, and happy lives, because I believe that everyone SHOULD have these things.
And those are just suggestions. Your mech, as long as it conforms to a pattern-group (read: has bits from one license or another) can look like literally anything. Wanna play a Tokugawa but it's Blade Liger? You can do that. Wanna do a Sunzi that's literally Big O? Go for it.
