Can’t speak for that person, but sometimes if a company asks me too many times to leave a review after I repeatedly decline, I’ll leave a negative review out of spite.

Unless you’re in the US, then now might be the best time to buy electronics before prices continue to rise, haha.

I laugh because I’ll cry if I don’t.

The first step to being loveable is to love yourself, never give up.

16GB is probably fine for most games right now but there are already some games where you will start to notice some drawbacks.

A game like Cyberpunk has a minimum RAM requirement of 12GB, but features in the game can cause it to eat more than that. And someone playing on PC may also want to have things like Discord streaming and a web browser going at the same time which can further eat into the budget.

Better to have more than you need IMO and future-proof a little bit, and RAM is not that expensive.

To be clear, Biden’s own waffling on the Israel-Palestine situation was behind the “Genocide Joe” stuff, but that’s the thing with effective propaganda really. It’s about knowing what negatives to magnify and what positives to obfuscate. If it’s rooted in truth, it’s easier for it to catch on.

There aren’t really any “highest rungs” of American protestantism. You get ordained as a minister or pastor by another minister or pastor, often with no real qualifiers or prerequisites, and then you get to just go off and do whatever you want in the name of God.

It’s not like catholicism where there’s a hierarchy and central authority everyone needs to report to. People just get ordained, start a church wherever, and that apparently qualifies them as de facto authority figure for a community.

Basically this.

“We recognizse Israel’s right to invade and destroy the state of Palestine.”

Yep. Israel is holding aloft the very real rise in antisemitic discourse taking place around the world to convince members of the Jewish diaspora that soon Israel will be the only safe sanctuary left, and that it’s time to start being cool with their horrible history.

That being said, while people back then certainly smelled bad on the whole, they had one advantage going for them which was fabric materials that breathe better than the synthetic fabrics that we use today. It made it easier to wear pieces of clothing for longer before it started smelling bad compared to polyester/nylon/etc. which trap oils and moisture and start to smell bad after only one wear.

But the other thing is that people also go nose blind to BO after prolonged exposure, which is why people who don’t bathe enough often don’t realize how bad they smell to others.

How far back are you looking? Just at Florida, which was turned red by a sea of geriatrics that doubled the state’s population over the past 30 years? Or further than that where the south was governed by Dixiecrats who just turned Republican when the Democratic party stopped being cool with Jim Crow?

Obviously video games train you to be master marksmen, and inject leftist ideology straight into your bloodstream to turn kids into political assassins.

That’s just the complete incompetence of the FBI under Kash Patel.

Plenty of people are still out there selling dime bags without issues, trust me.

No, I don’t think I could.

The problem with dictators is that you put every action under the context of a single person’s perspective. Even if you go in with the best and most altruistic intention, no single person is able to tackle every issue from every angle, and you will inevitably end up committing an injustice by a simple lack of awareness.

Not to mention that many issues are of relative morality to different groups, so to one group you can be a savior but to another you will always be a despot. Whichever interpretation ends up as the definitive one depends on how willing the offended parties are to overthrow you.

A democratic system is not perfect and (depending on perspective) may not be as effectual at bringing out positive change as an altruistic dictator, but the concept of distributed responsibility/distributed blame reduces the likelihood of a coup/revolution (emphasis on reduces, not eliminates) as long as the political apparatus is seen to incorporate or acknowledge everyone’s perspectives in the decision making process.

Misspellings effect a terrible affect from pedants.

At this point I just accept the various spellings as common. I feel like I stick to one particular style but I honestly couldn’t tell you if certain words are UK English, US English, or specific to somewhere else.

As long as meaning is clear, I don’t think it matters which is used. Alternate vocabulary is probably more significant points of confusion (e.g. what is a biscuit to you?)

The man will either die before he experiences consequences for his actions, or he will die as a consequence of his actions. But agreed, I don’t think he will ever experience consequences before then.

I also think we can’t overlook his upbringing. Growing up in a conservative household and raised to use guns from a young age, his decision to kill Charlie Kirk stems from that upbringing. Even if his politics happened to deviate from that of his parents, which is still in the realm of speculation right now, he was only using the tools and the methodology that he was given.

Quintez Brown attempted to kill Democratic Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, Craig Greenberg, in February 2022. Brown was motivated by Black nationalism, pan-Africanism and revolutionary socialism.

I dunno, to me revolutionary socialism is something I equate with “the left”.

Still, 1 out of 30 ain’t bad.

The Belt and Road Initiative is being used to expand China’s neocolonial influence and censor dissent?
