Oh, there’s an aisle...it’s just engulfed in the flames deliberately set by Republicans. You would *THINK* that Democrats would get wise, but they just keep reaching across it and getting burned. Worse, after watching Obama fight with Republicans for EIGHT ****ING YEARS, you’d think Biden would know better than reach…

That mentality is exactly why the US is spiraling into an authoritarian theocracy. It’s wrong for the same reason you don’t meet killers ‘half way.’ It presupposes that ‘both sides’ are equally legitimate, and they AREN’T. Democrats compromise, while Republicans hold the country hostage to their demands. There’s no…
The problem is that Biden is trying to play soccer while Republicans are playing Calvin ball. If they won’t play by any rules that they can’t on won’t subvert or change on a whim, and Democrats won’t adapt to this reality, no amount of carefully worded or incendiary speech — for as long as anyone is allowed to freedom…
America’s institutional racism does indeed have a shockingly effective PR department.
It’s the classic blunder of all ‘us vs them’ situations — there is never an ‘us’ so uniform and united that a ‘them’ can’t be carved out of it and attacked by their former allies. And it happens every single time someone uses the ‘us vs them’ mentality to further their agenda. Even in an ‘us’ of two, one will turn on…
Yes, it does essentially mean that. If a flagrantly illegitimate court, comprised of sexual predators, liars, and cultists, can unilaterally decide to throw out Roe on a whim, they can throw out *ANYTHING* based on case rulings, which is nearly all rights, most laws, and basically the entire regulatory framework in…
Well, that’s the *CLAIM* as to why the stop was done. But there are countless instances of cops pulling over black drivers *because they felt like it*, fabricating a reason for it after the fact.
On the flipside, a black man being pulled over in the US has cause to fear for his life, and fleeing is a perfectly understandable response. The cops initiating a high speed *CHASE* on the other hand (hint: it’s not a chase if the police don’t pursue), over what were misdemeanors at best, is *NOT* understandable or…
“Our officers are highly trained marksmen. They don’t just shoot to kill. That’s too easy. They shoot to dismember, pulverize, and obliterate. If your loved ones don’t need to be reconstructed before they can be identified, we aren’t doing our jobs.”
Exactly. Unity is *WHY* Unreal and other engines have pushed themselves so hard and opened up their monetization models for more people.
His entire shtick is that he’s a ‘succesful’ CEO, ignoring the fact that his entire track record of ‘success’ was during a fail-proof economic period. In reality, his ‘track record’ is even less meaningful or relevant than the kind participation trophies people him like to scorn and mock. His entire *LIFE* is a…
In 2014, former EA head John Riccitiello took over as CEO.
Because scams will always be the easiest way to make money, and the people who *SHOULD* be stopping these scams are in league with the scammers.
I keep asking myself, “If they don’t respect the bodily autonomy and rights of others, why should anyone respect theirs?”
If the SCOTUS can unilaterally throw out 50 years of case laws and precedents, then the law ceases to have any meaning, and the SCOTUS has no meaning either, because the country isn’t being governed by the rule of law anymore. It’s governed by the rule of man, and the ‘law’ is whatever the people at the top say it is.…
All of this. 70m Americans thought that Trump did such a fantastic job as president that he deserved a 2nd term, and were willing to overthrow the government to make it happen. Even when over a million Americans died under Trump’s incompetent, brazenly corrupt watch. And even to this day, neither they nor he see…
It isn’t any one thing, really. But he’s right that the fetishization of law enforcement creates an illusion of competence of morality that doesn’t exist in reality. You have a perverse incentive structure with police unions and union dues where the priority is to keep every officer employed, no matter what, because…
Tread? **** that. At this point, they should be flattened by fleets of buses.
Yeah, but what else are you going to do with your hundreds of space grenades? Think of the Space Grenade (tm) employees! They’ve got to feed their families...so you can rob them blind before blowing them up!
