Nope. They’re not. They are definitely a part of a representative republic though. The US form of government is not a direct democracy. Apparently, neither is this school.

You fail at reading comprehension.  The students voted overwhelmingly for Chick-fil-a.  The administrators went against the will of the students because feelings. . .

Yeah, defamation has been a solid platform for the Gawker group in the past. . .

What you recommend isn’t some panacea. The average age of a car on the road is > 10 years. So even if the government magically required all cars to have perfect V2V comms tomorrow, it would take decades until it could be a universal solution.

There have been no detailed negotiations. He did postpone a saber rattling exercise directly off the coast of the country we are trying to normalize relationships with.

I was tongue and cheek responding to the person who said, “Everything Trump does = Failure”. Clearly not. 

I didn’t say the Iran deal was bad. I’m saying that it started with direct meetings between US and Iranian leaders. This deal, if it is one, is currently started in the same way. First are introductions, later come detailed negotiations. Anyone that thinks we go directly from nuclear threats to singing kumbaya is…

Well, he did run for president. . .

Lines of communication have been opened. A general agreement to meet and discuss the details of the issues is in place. Has this happened before? Yes. 25 years ago between two different people. Things change.

To be fair, whatever the fuck we were doing before wasn’t working. You really can’t be a fan of the Iran nuclear deal, which I will go ahead and assume you were, and not like the strategy with North Korea. Basically the same idea of changing the tone of discussions and moving ahead without the pretenses of previous…

Uh no. Israelis eat the shit out of tahini. I think it’s because he’s just making it to American taste. Actual humus in Israeli is extremely heavy on tahini.

Not a terrible description, but you miss a part. Who is buying the debt? You can’t materialize that from nothing. Of course the workers lose when a company downsizes or goes bankrupt, but who was conned into buying the debt?

Sitting in a hardly populated bar one time, I received some male gay porn (I am also male) via airdrop.

I’m not going to argue with how you define the spending. That said, in terms of dollars spend on a yearly basis, the military spending is 16% of what the federal government spends.

There is no direct military spending in the mandatory spending budget; ergo, your entire rant is pointless. Become educated.

Your own link agrees with my numbers. The following quote is from your own link.

DoD spending dwarfs the rest of the budget? Discretionary spending, which includes DoD, is 30% of total budget. Of the 30% discretionary, military is 54%. That makes spending then 16.2% of the total budget.

No. But what you really want is the capability to save scum. You don’t have to lie like I already said.

It’s okay that you like to save scum. You can just admit it. It’s not a significant personal fault.

Game is actually selling very strongly with high concurrent users counts on Steam. For a large indie game, it does appear as if this will be deemed a commercial success!
