The second amendment was supposed to be about the citizens protecting themselves against a fascist government, right? (Though I don’t think the term existed back then)
Here’s the fascist government, Americans. What are you actually using your second amendment for?
Having read the article, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The undertones of the writing seem to be “There have been some attempts to deny that these are Nazi salutes (and not from the people making the gestures), but plausible deniability is rapidly running out and it definitely looks exactly like a Nazi salute”.
Oxford’s top definition for Apparent is “clearly visible or understood; obvious”
Impeachment in the US seems to be meaningless too, though
I’ve been told by admin at a few different institutions that DEI helps bring more white students into the institution.
They could put limits on international students (which also means limiting money coming into the school and into the country), but going purely based on merit means that Asian students would be pushing out white Americans.
I wouldn’t put death or rape threats past the MAGA/DOGE team
Vaccinations too.
Y’know…maybe that’s why the anti-vaxxers want measles. And want it to make a comeback.
I mean, people from the dark corners of the internet are probably pretty good at finding polls about things they’re interested in, lol
I think they’re referring to two spaces (as in spacebar) after the periods.
I use two spaces because I’ve been typing for a long time, lol
Good eye! I still do it because, to my eyes, it makes it easier to indicate sentence boundaries while skimming the text.
Some people say this is “wrong”, and I won’t enforce it on anyone, but I do it when I’m writing my own text. Not only do I like how it looks, but it’s a habit I’ve had for close to 30 years. It’s not worth fighting that level of muscle memory, especially when we have Find/Replace All! Haha
How can someone that young think trump is a good choice is something I can’t fathom.
Lack of experience seeing these kinds of people.
I once saw someone explain Trump’s popularity…
Cityfolk can tell that this guy is a useless yapping businessman who probably doesn’t know shit, and is probably going to rip you off and stab you in the back at any opportunity he gets (maybe just for fun).
People in rural areas haven’t had as many opportunities to interact with these kinds of people, so they aren’t on high alert.
The reason those scummy business people are so successful is because they’re charismatic (in a way), they’re confident, and they give answers that people want to hear (even if it’s a fabrication).
Confident, charismatic people that say what people want to hear? He’s going to get a lot of votes. Especially from the people who don’t know how to detect that.
Then there’s the fact that Trump blames his enemies for his failings, combined with various psychological factors in the voters (sunk-cost? Being blind to their own lack of knowledge?)… he’s able to maintain his status amongst his cult.
What do the stats say?
Your wrong. I workout and practice language everyday.
At least 3!
His prices seem incredibly low for the amount of chaos caused…and it seems like the sentence is more in line with his prices than the chaos caused.
So doing it once is only a month in jail?
Reminds me of the Simpsons’ beer-powered car at the gas/beer station.
“One [pump] for you, one [pump] for me!”
Income inequality.
Things are more difficult for lower working class Americans than the equivalent people in some other countries (sometimes, depending on the state/country being compared to, yadda yadda yadda). So while it’s a rich country, there are a lot challenges for those who aren’t rich.
And when you’re seeing your fellow countrymen enjoying all these nice things, you want to have them too. Can’t afford them? Don’t worry! There are lots of ways to lend you money with interest for you to pay back!
Yeah, not voting really helped keep the baddies out of the White House!
I always forget what makes it the safest mode of travel.
If it’s the safest per KM, then it doesn’t matter when it’s the only way to travel.
If it’s the safest per trip, again, there often isn’t an alternative.
Is it still the safest mode of travel per time spent travelling? Because I’d imagine trains generally surpass that. And hopefully walking too in most places…
