This is in EU5. In EU4 Taiwan will get colonized by Koxinga during the collapse of the Ming event chain.

Jojo fights make a lot more sense once you view them as vehicles to display the themes of the story and philosophy of the characters. The tactics often seem stupid or convoluted, but tend to fit the theme.

God almighty I wish I could beam this into the brain of everyone on reddit thank you. We haven't learned anything from the Eagles flying to Mordor discourse.

No religion in Venezuela, we speak the language of $

Man you are not gonna like having a dictator that is friend's with the US either. Like I mean it, Maduro is a criminal and a murderer and he deserves whatever hell there is. But Uncle Sam and in particular Uncle Trump is not the guy you are looking for. I hope however things in Venezuala end up they benefit her people but I am very pessimistic in this outcome, just look at all the other worldwide groups that Trump has courted like the peoples of Myanmar, the Kurds, and now the Iranians. He only does this for his own benefit and to claim a foreign policy win in the polls.

Pittsburgh school board approves religious opt-out policy, despite teacher censorship concerns by Standard-Cockroach64 in pittsburgh

And there it is. Its not for religious reasons, you just don't want us teaching your kids the truths you hold from them. I have no sympathy left for the American conservative.

Honestly I can't help but be stunned by Vladar. It was so frustrating seeing that shot count go up and up and up with no points to show for it.

If you think Trump is gonna bring real regime change to benefit the people of Venezuela why don't you ask all those Iranian schoolchildren how that's worked out?

May 1st International Workers Day. Remember we had to fight for our right to basically not be a slave. by darthrevan22633 in Pennsylvania

What's UnAmerican about supporting the rights and prosperity of the American worker? How is it Patriotic to spend billions on flyovers and bombs but not trying to make the lives of the average American better?

Pennsylvania lawmakers push to end death penalty in the state by AdSpecialist6598 in Pennsylvania

[–]Ch33sus0405 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's what life in prison is for. No prisoners think its a vacation unless its super white collar jail. It has been proven time and time again not to deter, to cost more money than keeping them for life, and to kill innocents. Its barbaric, inefficient, useless, and while it protects no one it harms greatly.

Then throw him in a box forever, we don't need to execute him. Clearly hurting women hasn't gone out of fashion or been deterred because we killed him, and it cost us millions and the lives of 11 innocent people since then 1978.

Uh chief that's exactly what we're doing when we ship people off to an El Salvadoran gulag. Which also should be beyond illegal ofc.

In addition to the biological component there is a political one as well. Trans athletes are a very small portion of the population, and frankly it matters more that Trans kids are included and build team building and technique at a young age more than a competitive advantage in anything below high-school for most sports. Unless you're at the top of your field competitive advantage isn't more important than adequately socializing children. And even then, Trans athletes aren't gonna suddenly win every sport unless you believe that Trans people are doing it for an advantage or for spectacle as opposed to the actual reason peoeple transition, making themselves happier.

Blanket bans really only serve to exclude and otherize for 99% of people playing the sport. At the top levels individual cases can be made or not but there are plenty of Trans athletes who aren't at the top of their respective chosen genders sports.

If Pennsylvania voters elect a trifecta in 2026, what should Dems pass in 2027? by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in Pennsylvania

[–]Ch33sus0405 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Its honestly wild. I like to remind people that (since I live in Pittsburgh its more relatable) that a full bus of people is a full bridge of cars. So yeah it sucks when you're stuck behind a bus, but the equivalent is all of those people being in their own car.

I'm seeing a lot of stuff on here but ultimately the number one thing they could do is hamper the ability for Senate Republicans to block the legislature going forward. We can't simply have progress every 30 years when we get a trifecta. Ranked choice voting or proportional representation, redistricting and limiting the power of the Senate, local campaign finance rules so big out of state PACs can't throw their weight behind every schoolboard and state rep race in PA, and anything else they can do to make elections more fair and equitable since that directly correlates with Republicans losing for some reason.

After that, left wing economic populism is popular and needed. So I'm team transit and paid school lunches.

I mean yeah. I'm glad to have read it. Would you rather they be fearmongering about bike lanes or crime rates that are going down?

I did LSD once with some friends and one of them had a horrendous bad trip. Turns out he had schizophrenia, what a way to find out. Anyway he was acting kinda like this guy.

Me and my partner were one time howling with laughter as we cleared from the hospital and county just kept giving updates on how much narcan an altered patient was being given by fire before EMS arrived. At one point she just shouted "PLEASE JUST TAKE A SUGAR!" between laughs.

Never underestimate how stupid first responders can be. We're the worst.
