I'm of the mind that she is of use to my current aims so I'm indifferent to her, but at the end of the day she is still probably not on my side completely.
I'll take her essentially speaking against Republicans and being rich if it means Republicans lose because of it.
Anyone else like that the dude who posted this shit's name is from a genre that openly shows the flaws in capitalism's race to the bottom?
Is like being hit in the face and still not getting the message lol
Yeah, I hate that I have to compromise on things, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather have more rights and have to watch Palestinians die than have fewer rights and have to watch Palestinians die.
Its a fucked situation anyway you slice it, but there it is.
We should allow people who pull similar shit to die the same way as Crassus lol
Puberty blockers exist to give the option to change more time before puberty does significant alterations to a person.
Essentially, it buys time for younger trans people to be certain of their choices and minimize the (already remote) possibility of de-transitioning being needed.
There is also no evidence of any significant negative side-effects from the treatment.
Blazing Saddles would be called dated and "done before."
It was originally made as a way to laugh at Westerns, which, up to that point, had dominated the market. A lot of the tropes and plot lines the movie rips on are explicitly there because they were usually in these "safe" Westerns.
The Spanish torched much of the cultural heritage of the Aztecs, sure, but the obvious implication of a thing being "discovered" is "when do we start having concrete evidence of this thing being known to our existence?"
So, when someone says "electric eels being discovered" they mean "electric eels becoming concretely documented by people in a way we can verify."
Also, stuff in our past has been discovered and lost numerous times across the ages. We generally agree that finding the oldest instance of a thing is the "discovery" time of that thing.
Its my understanding that it was more of a "holy shit, she was the same age as many of my fans" statement.
...doesn't China have a "no first strike" rule for their nuclear weapons? :P
As for not bullying China...maybe they should stop trying to bully their neighbors before asking to not be bullied lol
Meanwhile in my hometown one of their supporters got elected the other day
As a younger person in IT, I always hate this argument of "they could never use the old stuff." It's such a dumb thing to use because it can logically be taken anywhere: "these damned boomers couldn't even crank up their car properly" or "I can't believe kids these days don't listen to the town crier and read newspapers instead!" It's just absurd: nobody uses those systems because we found better* options to achieve the same tasks, making knowledge of these things largely irrelevant.
I'd take Norman Schwarzkopf over Napoleon Bonaparte to command any modern military force today as their skills are for entirely different realities.
I think you're conflating "maintaining a global hegemonic order" with "fucking up a nation that has actively tried to harm the United States AND is provably committing war crimes."
Is American hegemony all sunshine and roses? Fuck no lol
At least it is built more on consensus of member states than a hegemony built up by dictatorships like Russia (which, let's be real, isn't ever gonna be a global hegemon) or China?
