They got scammed the first time around too. Remember “Finish The Wall”? Trump didn’t build an inch of wall with that money, it just vanished into thin air and appeared as a few extra digits in his bank accoount.
The same people who forked over money for that and then admitted regretting it afterwards were the same ones gleefully preordering this phone. They’ll be mad about it for a bit and then they’ll fall for it again in due time. Easy marks.
The cornucopia was there. I swear on my life I saw it.
I’m now convinced that there was a knock-off brand that posed as Fruit of the Loom for years with the altered logo. That’s the only explanation I’ll accept. Mandela effect my ass.
A white California man tried to KILL our deeply unpopular pedophile president so we need to get RID of the fillibuster so we can FUND the DHS so that they can DEPORT more BROWN PEOPLE!
Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist, so he’s definitely lying there with that denial.
That doesn’t make the entire statement true, but if it were false I suspect the Epstein files would have been released in full unredacted by now, as the law requires. It would completely exonerate him, if he had nothing to hide.
That’s what I always tell people. A bitcoin or etherium or dogecoin or whatever they have is essentially valueless because it can’t be exchanged easily for goods and services. 100% of it’s value is derived from how much real, useable money you can exchange it for and nothing else.
Male here, you totally can. I’ve had events where I had multiple orgasms back to back with no refractory as well as events with full body orgasms that make all my muscles twitch.
I don’t know what the secret sauce is, I just try and enjoy the moment and I appreciate when I do get those rare extreme orgasms.
Donald Trump, the private citizen, is suing the United States Government - of which he is currently the chief executive of. Since he has the authority to direct the justice department and court settlements are paid out of taxpayer income, he can direct the attorney general to “settle” with the plaintiff (himself) and have that settlement money get funneled directly into his private bank account.
It’s a scam that, if it had been performed by any other president in the history of the nation, would have been a scandal that dwarfs Watergate and led to an immediate bipartisan effort to impeach and remove the president for blatant corruption.
But since it’s Trump, this is just expected of him, I guess…
Monobiomes are probably the rule and Earth-like continental planetoids with diverse topology are probably exceedingly rare in the universe.
It isn’t gambling if you know what the outcome is going to be.
If the people betting on these polymarket shares were in a casino, they would have been escorted out long ago.
Oh no, those subtleties aren’t lost on me, I’m just lamenting that literally anyone is falling for this scheme. Even if this would be technically unenforceable it’s still 1000% bad and should never even be in congress. I hate that every few years some draconian bullshit like this pops up and we need to muster all of our collective will to raise awareness and fight it. Someone else said it best in the thread - we need to win every time, but they only need to win once.
Does me tapping my order into a self-service kiosk at a restaurant count as “using” the operating system that it is running on?
Like, I feel like this is going to be really difficult to enforce, and big business might actually push back against it if they think it will hurt their bottom line, but my god can we stop with this nanny state internet surveillance bullshit already? The government is too stupid to actually protect anyone with this dumb law because there will always be loopholes and workarounds.
Tesla would be worth basically nothing if the federal government weren’t artificially propping them up by banning Chinese EVs.
Sweet and savory do seem to be pretty complimentary flavors, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was delicious.
In my own personal opinion, there are at least two major things that bring the prequels down:
The pacing sucks. They tried to cram too much shit into three movies, and the Episode 1 was kind of a wash for character development because they spend the entire movie simply introducing us to the main characters for the next two films. If they had either spread it out over more films or narrowed their scope a little more, it would have been a much more enjoyable viewing experience.
The dialogue is bad. The wooden acting, flat delivery of the lines, and lame slapstick I attribute to George being high off his own supply - both fans and the creative team puffing him up and telling him what a genius he is when what he really needed was someone in the room to step in and write and direct for him when he was clearly having issues with both late into production. Just in general he needed someone to tell him “No” from time to time.
There are probably more things than that, but just taking the prequels in a vacuum and not considering their greater impact on the lore, those are the two most glaring issues with them. Supplemental media spends a lot of time trying to plug plot holes and lore inconsistencies that were created by the prequels.
Overall I think they are decent but flawed films. I never thought that the political intrigues were bad, but they could have shown us more and told us less to really drive the point across.
That has always been the most fucked up part about flight delays. They get everybody boarded and seated, plane is ready to go, maybe you start taxiing, and then you’re just sitting there waiting for potentially hours.
I refuse to believe that returning the plane to the terminal jetway and allowing the passengers to deboard is some kind of unsolvable conundrum or major issue that can’t be surmounted with better logistics. They have never been able to properly explain why they can’t do exactly that, other than that they don’t want to do the paperwork.
Thanks, corrected the original post to reflect that.
Au contraire, it actually does! The same way the last four or five economic crises were handled - massive government bailouts for the affected sector.
It’ll soften the blow for the common people’s 401ks so they don’t completely revolt, but the c-suite execs will get their big payoff and the asset buyup (datacenters, hardware, etc) in the aftermath will transfer an unimaginable amount of wealth into the hands of yet fewer people and dramatically increase inequality.
It’s a shitty solution, and one that is not viable long term, but since it has worked so many times in the past, I doubt the government is going to change up their winning strategy. Especially not with the current clown cadre at the helm.
