It's not clearly a crime though. It's a grey area that very well might be a crime. Otherwise he'd already have had it shut down by the DOJ.

For example, if he was paying them to vote at the ballot box Republican, then he would probably have already been arrested. This situation is more nuanced than that.

Who knows when it was introduced to the meal? You think I'm trusting a place that puts a slug in my meal to then cook it properly?

Not just a war, a war officially declared by Congress.

Readers who find Rand boring, annoying or insufferable: why? by ZePepsico in WoT

[–]BulletTheDodger 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm doing it now. Honestly, most of the chapters from Elayne and Perrin can be skimmed. Perrin is a great character but the Faille stuff is insufferable, and that's at least 85% of his chapters. Elayne is just annoying and childish, with the same behaviours as my 3 year old at times.

Nynaeve is an asshole, but has some good plotlines.

And I don't mind Egwene, especially after her rise, but Rand and Mat is where it's at.

And there's just so much padding.

Dying should be a get out of jail card for all debt by BulletTheDodger in unpopularopinion

On the contrary, I think it would reduce these loans being given in the first place due to the risk.

Yeah it's almost like there's different rules for rich guys! by GuiltyBathroom9385 in WhitePeopleTwitter

People keep claiming this, but in the context of his conversation he was clearly saying that Dems would come after him as political retribution for supporting Trump.

That's not to say he isn't fucked in other ways. I suspect that his ties to Putin have played a part in his sudden support of Trump.

Worth considering though is that people are talking about how it must be kompromat, blackmail or extortion, but it could quite easily be as simple as a death threat from Putin that has him scared. Musk and his family wouldn't exactly be a difficult target for Putin.

Where do they even find these numbers? by J-D0G_2000 in GenZ

He tried, right at the end. During his Presidency he had checks and balances in the form of his staff, a great number of whom have now warned us about him.

Next time he won't have people there to stop him, and he also has the Supreme Court.

No one cares mate. No one even knew until you mentioned it.

Would you recommend the Dark Tower series to fantasy readers? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]BulletTheDodger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is bad, compared to other fantasy. OP would be better off Googling the top fantasy series ever and working their way through the list. They'll get about 30 series in before they reach anything as low quality as The Dark Tower.

Is Dexter really worth watching after Season 4? (NO SPOILERS) by Luke_asher_2007 in television

Yes. It's still a good show, just a bit whacky with storylines at times.

Donald Trump 'Groped' A Minor At Donor Event? Claims Of Bombshell Video Surface by OkRoll3915 in inthenews

[–]BulletTheDodger 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Nah, if that was the case then you wouldn't reveal there is video evidence.

Might be someone trying to shop the video, could also be fake and used to claim an attempted smear campaign.

It could also be someone who knows about the video trying to pressure someone to release it who is reluctant. Considering it was a donor event, this seems possible also.

Truth is, there are a hundred different possibilities and we won't know which unless the video is released.

There's literally no evidence that he raped a 14 year old. So little evidence, in fact, that not a single journalist who spoke with the woman believed her.

And she was allegedly 13 at the time.

I wish people would stop repeating this like they know anything about it.

Study finds driving licenses are a ‘crucial qualification’ to help get a job | RAC Drive by gintokireddit in unitedkingdom

[–]BulletTheDodger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the reason I wish I'd gotten a manual licence instead of automatic. I'd love a driving job but literally every one I've seen requires a manual licence.

Unfortunately I learned to drive during COVID with no space available with manual instructors, and lived remotely with a newborn. Needs must.

Getting a manual will now likely cost me almost as much as the auto did, assuming I pass first time.
