If youd been paying attention the last 30 years or so, youd know the electorate are morons. Republicans still having any semblance of power is the perfect exemplar of this fact.

So disqualify Republicans from holding office.

Makes more sense than saying, say, a 67 year old Democrat in robust mental health cannot be on a ballot.

Yes. And I do buy fair trade chocolate now.

Lol at that moral high horse. Its not arbitrary. There are physiological reasons why we impose age restrictions for certain activities. The most important position of the country should be held to the highest standard possible.

Lol yourself. Of course it's arbitrary.

How is 35 a universally applicable 'higher standard' than 30, or 60 always objectively more capable than 65?

The job of holding people to standards should lie with the electorate.

Is there anything on the agenda you agree with?

Like what?

It would be reasonable to see 'end veteran homelessness' as a positive. Until you realise it's just a vague aspiration with no policy detail. Ditto 'preventing World War 3', and 'revolutionise living standards'. Find me a politician running on a platform of starting WW3 and cutting the standards of living.

Most of it is just whining about Biden, scare story bollocks about 'Marxists', and promises to put his boot on the throats of minorities.

Trump cultists don't see him as negative and hateful, they see him through Ben Garrison goggles as an athletic handsome demi-god who battles against evil and restores American pride.

They view the left as miserable whiners who are always complaining about racism and being unable to afford healthcare.

People should be moderated for gross abuse of the word 'nuance'.

A few.

Mostly people used to arrange to fight outside school though.

The things I remember him for are getting effortlessly crushed by Andrew Neil, and looking like a complete prick, posing outside Home Depot with a tiny piece of wood.

Oh, and the WAP debacle, I guess.

Krosmaga. It's pretty, and everything is animated.

God help me, I did it once and I'll do it again.

Good for you.

If you have a talent for building rogue, you'll never get bored and will likely win a lot.

If you have political opinions, you are involved in a dialogue of some kind.

Even if it's only a passive one with Fox News and right wing 'gamer' YouTubers.

Yeah, that's one of the best feelings you can get playing a TCG.

But building anti meta is just about the most difficult challenge there is. Sweat is unavoidable.

That's the nature of TCGs, and it's a good thing. Static metas are boring, and people enjoy breaking them. Today's rogue is tomorrow's meta.

Some people enjoy the deck building and metagaming more than they do the actual playing. Some are terrible deckbuilders, but give them the right deck, and they'll find ways to win.

why do you guys give them your money?

It would be considered impolite not to do so.

To be honest, this is the kind of bonkers shit that I look for in Eurovision.

Without active US intervention, there's no mainstream Hollywood appeal, and it will be left to Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers to produce movies that will go unwatched in the West.

I'd bet that he US will make a film about Special Forces vs the Houthis pretty soon though.

It gets weird when it tips over into claims of cultural superiority which are almost always founded upon racism.

The Pokmon one, yes.

The better question is.how do these
people keep getting elected?

The really depressing answer is that a lot of people agree with them.

Trashy is the judgement of others, not the people themselves.

Though they may try to 'own it' as the kids say.

No.

It's arbitrary, ageist, and undemocratic. As is the lower age limit.

People support it, because they think it will mean that the problems associated with Trump and Biden will magically disappear, and an enlightened generation of millenial leaders will rise up.

But age isn't the reason why Trump is a fascist would-be autocrat, and Biden hasn't enacted the policies you wanted.

And have you seen the next generation of politicians? Good luck with those.

No way to prevent this . . .

I don't like the taste of milk.

I do love black coffee. The stronger the better.

Will they not tip the zookeepers?

Flyeaglesfly needs to be put on blocked lists so he can't damage control and try to gaslight this board.

I don't agree with him, but he's not so extreme that you can't have a conversation.

I won't block him.

Yeah, 50s rockers wore skinny jeans.

1. The film was made in Hebron, which is in the West Bank, not Israel proper.

Who is preventing Palestinians from using the street and the Bus Stop?

2. Finding an ultra orthodox guy and two soldiers who may or may not speak English at a bus stop and ambushing them with a camera with leading questions is not my definition of proper journalism.

No it isn't. But when you have a group of people subject to ongoing apartheid-like conditions, and three people accused of racism at a bus stop for a minute, I know which issue is deserving of greater attention.

I can tell without reading the article that someone will say it raises hope for a cure for cancer, and that those hopes will come to nothing.

its one small fracture on the pinky side that didnt need set
the cast hurt worse tbh
i'll put it back on when i go to work but i got an anime bar to go to tonight and i dont want ppl to think im chuuni or something

Lucky for me, I had no idea what 'chuuni' means (still don't), so that was one less thing to worry about.

Three days while having new heating/hot water system installed.

It was awful. Called a friend and begged them to let me use their shower.

You do you, but I broke my hand badly a few years ago (14 separate fractures), and waited a week before getting a cast.

It still painful now when the weather gets cold, or I put it through any stress.

you what how the fuck is it

Another key finding from these studies was that Israeli casualties were given proportionally more coverage than Palestinian ones, and the language used to describe Israeli deaths was markedly different. Words such as atrocity, murder, lynch-mob and barbarically killed were used by journalists to describe the deaths of Israeli soldiers, but not those of Palestinians.

A lot of British food is 'meat and 2 veg', that's true.

Sadly for me, as I dislike potato.

Not sure why. Maybe British peasants always kept their own livestock, so there was less need to get creative with food: you get a chunk of meat and some filler carbs.

Gotta cover your bases with these posts so people don't try to cover it up with distractions. Btw not a single word about this on r/worldnews, as if that sub has a bias.

Usually, the BBC is described as pro-Israel.

About as much of a difference as bitching and moaning on gamefaqs is going to do.

Any shmuck with a camera can go anywhere and make it look bad with the right amount of planning.

So it's all fine then.

This guy just staged it all. There are no streets that Palestinians may not walk down. It was all a carefully planned hoax, and they are free to use the bus stop any time.

He is simultaneously the greatest and worst filmmaker of all time, able to carefully stage the scene to make Israel look bad (right in front of armed soldiers too!), but somehow not able to conduct an interview to the correct standards.

One you use at an auction?

That would get people's attention.
