I make typos, but I mean will. I make jokes too, or did in the before-times.
In Omelas, the prosperity of the city depended on tormenting one child. This was hidden, so nobody had to see the cost, but could if they desired.
Our price is higher 🇵🇸

Right, they wanted people to be hurt, just not certain people.
It varies some, person to person, who those certain people are.

His biggest talent or "quality" is a willingness to lie and not back down.
America loves that for some reason, đźĄ
That, and he has a willingness to invest money, earned from his lies, in long projects.

She specifically would have.
Joe was, and she made it clear that she had no criticism of him.
But the word they're looking for is "enable," not "tolerate."

Importantly, he missed his 2 trillion goal by about 1.95T, and seems to have cost about 500b in systemic harm

I'd go further. The pay gap should never be that large.
5x max.
That applies to celebrities, sports players and owners, and stockholders.
But we also really need to reassess how we pay lots of jobs.

My point was that, by their metrics, WE survived
But in Palestine (which sorry, I didn't explicitly say), we assisted in the murder of tens of hundreds of thousands
We left Afghanistan in an embarrassing condition

Are you at all alarmed that you considered many of these people friends?
Like, I'd be alarmed.

I hate the lesser in scale argument because the scale doesn't matter when it takes just one attack to ruin your home, your community, your family.

No they haven't, it's part of the character they like. They have no objection to him.
It's very silly. He's more loyal to capitalism than to voters, which is why his healthcare plan was designed to fail.

"Strangers here are so nice and accepting."

But she showed how little any American politician cares when her response was "I'm speaking."

Her first step was simple
"I will not aid in sending offensive arms to Israel."
You can't truly push for peace of any kind when you're giving one side guns, missiles, etc.
It's true that most Americans never cared of the harm we do around the world, it's one of our most disgusting modern aspects.

But, there's no white people in it. It must be racist.

It's because we're watching. Every child is likely to be better behaved when there's company.
It's part of their plan to make parents look crazy. "what do you mean? She ate every bite of her vegetables, and asked for more!"

--second paragraph began, “We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable, that all men are created equal …” Franklin scratched out the words “sacred & undeniable” and replaced them with “self-evident.” A “sacred” truth implies a religious foundation; a “self-evident” one is a plain fact."

There's an old joke with the punchline "If you can guess how many chickens I own, I'll give you both of them."
Her post reminds me of this.

Reminds me of the meeting with Carney and Trump
Libs: We'll offer some concessions
Leftists: Like what?
Libs: We'll stop supporting genocide
Leftists: That's not a concession, that just decency
(Trump: We want some concessions ... Like friendship
Carney: That's not a concession
Trump: Oh)

I have nearly the same one, tan/black
Only thing I wish it had was the grip safety. That's one of the smartest things ever put on a gun.
I'd trade the chambered-indicator for that. The indicator is mostly useless because you should always treat a gun like it's chambered.

This is a lesson we need to learn regarding a lot of peoples.
Afghanistan, all we did is, for lack of a better word, terrorize people, a new generation.
A week after we left, it's like we were never there, except for tens of thousands of deaths.
Holy shit, 200,000. 10k a year.
