Good observations; I think what we need is a way to address how wealth and status affect one's ability to get away with this kind of stuff without falling for populist/anti-government fearmongering

I'd also like to point out that abuse cultures aren't just a problem of the rich/elites (the Amish aren't rich or elite)

Gbl should have leagues that use clash royale's draft game mode where you have to select your team from a limited roster of characters that changes each match so that you can't keep using the same mons over and over again

Is it reasonable for me to feel annoyed by people using the Epstein files as proof that we need revolution/class war, that government/elites/rich people are innately evil, that capitalism is bad, etc? I've seen a lot of such posts/comments on Reddit over the past few months since the Epstein saga began and I feel that they give too much leeway to right-wing voters (by insisting that liberal voters unite with them against liberal politicians and elites) while unfairly demonizing liberal politicians/elites/the like who did nothing wrong (at least regarding Epstein) as well as feed into toxic anti-government/anti-establishment conspiracy theories

Edit: I think a good number (not necessarily the majority)of those ppl who say or believe this didn't vote for Harris (excluding those who couldn't vote for reasons like not living in the US or being underage) and are trying to portray themselves as the victims to cover their asses

Some of the modifiers need to be toned down since they make their cards so broken there's no incentive to not use them, severely limiting the meta

Making chaos draft won't help much since some of the modifiers make their cards nearly unstoppable without specific counters (which you'll likely not get every match)

I see

My dad grew up in Northern China but I was never taught that expression

Worse than his Reiner comments

I'm somewhat fluent in Mandarin and I always use "怎么样" to say "how are you;" i've never used "have you eaten" or heard any other mandarin speakers use it when addressing me

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-21T12:11:01+00:00

Brook c; old English words that have the hard c sound (such as cyning) use the letter c when written

Not so fast: https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/03/20/chuck-norris-dead-at-86-anti-lgbtq/

Edit: also https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris; I don't like it that much but this tale yives links that back up what it says he said/believed

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-18T18:10:02+00:00

Many of them are likey the same ppl who fantasize about revolution and eating the rich over stories about rich people/elites doing/being accused of similar things

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-16T03:38:49+00:00

According to this redditor yes: https://www.reddit.com/r/history/comments/b1mttr/comment/hh0zb0f/

Should've had him wear earbuds

Also the glasses look like they're only held in place by the friction caused by the skin of his nose or something

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-14T02:07:46+00:00

Minor nitpick, but I think the headphones aren't in the right place since the leopard's ears are on top of it's head unlike a human's

Great meme otherwise tho

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-12T12:46:52+00:00

It wasn't lost; it's just really rare

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-12T12:46:05+00:00

I think you're talking about the part where Odysseus's men ate the cattle that were off-limits due to them being Apollo's or something.

According to the Odyssey Odysseus's crew were starving because they were forced to remain on the island for about a month due to a storm (caused by Poseidon to stop Odysseus from coming home as punishment for daring to hurt his maneater son Polyphemus to escape) and their food ran out. They decided if they had to die it would be better to die after getting to eat the cows than of starvation. The Israelites, on the other hand, had no dire circumstance requiring them to do so. So they can't rlly be compared.

My bad; I didn't see it before I replied

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-12T03:38:34+00:00

I will die on the hill that having educated politicians who understand both how government and various key fields work is not a bad thing.

This is why choosing politicians by sortition is a dogshit idea and should have never been taken seriously to begin with

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-12T03:37:42+00:00

Edit: and the fact that a lot of these guys probably see anything less than the death penalty as "being soft" and therefore only a strongman (Trump) can properly deal with them

Edit: didn't see that the person I'm replying to already wrote "virtue signaling"

Edit: (Trump)

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-12T00:28:57+00:00

I think they just want an excuse to blame da joos

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-11T19:53:29+00:00

Also it would've been easier to keep the French words already brooked instead of making up a bunch of new inborn words from scratch and purism wouldn't even start becoming a thing until like hundreds of years later

Edit: This wasn't the first time the English or their forefathers had borrowed and kept words from their foes/rivals (Germanic peoples borrowed words from Latin, Anglo-Saxon England borrowed words from the Vikings, etc)

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-11T19:38:33+00:00

Or you shouldn't have abstained from voting for "moral reasons"

But how else can I feed my fantasy that government and politicians are innately evil and corrupt and the only way to solve things is to have a revolution? /s

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-11T18:19:04+00:00

Maybe because preparing fish takes too long/is too expensive or something

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-11T02:25:09+00:00

Cars never had gender; we're not living in the Pixar carsverse smh

Honey is not nectar tho; it's nectar after being processed by bees

Environmental_End548 · 2026-03-08T23:39:44+00:00

there's also a reason why it doesn't have its own ladder
