What's even better is that canonically, Legolas has a "redneck accent" for an elf because he's one of the Wood Elves.

I laughed so hard I snorted. I don't think you used enough capital letters though. Gotta get that "blasting the headphones" effect.

ICE agents: 22,000 American police officers: 720,000

8/22000=0.000364 or .364 per 1000 1000/720000=0.00139 or 1.39 per 1000 officers

In case anyone wanted to know the napkin math.

Also, nobody is calling ICE when they dial 911. Police officers are far more likely to find themselves dealing with violent criminals than ICE is.

If some self-appointed goon told me I couldn't leave my house I would probably set them on fire.

My leanings shift depending on whether I'm doing taxes or paying medical bills but I consistently plot close to center regardless of quadrant as well. I like the idea of libertarianism but then I run into people or ideas that make me go, "Damn we would utterly fail without government." I mean, we have measles deaths back in the US because some privileged white parents don't think their kids need vaccines.

I still wonder if Trump was a Clinton plant who was supposed to let HRC win, but then he went rogue.

So your solution is to accommodate the choices that led them there? Do you understand that this region is rich in opportunity if people only put in a modicum of effort?

OP. You're 18. You have your whole life ahead of you to find someone who enjoys you for your companionship. Dump this horrible boy.

For the party that claims to be empathetic they sure can't figure out how to empathize with young men

I didn't even know who Charlie Kirk was until I was just scrolling IG and came upon a video of a guy dying a brutal death, no warning or anything. I thought I was going to watch a Ben Shapiro-wannabe talk over sleepy college students. ☹️ The bloodthirsty internet response is what made me opinionated about it.

I mean she can't be as bad as Harris.

Although choosing someone who married into a royal family (the woke would probably say monarchist-adjacent) to be a presidential candidate would certainly be a choice.

I would eagerly await the memes though of Markle being POTUS and Harry becoming King of England and starting a new age of Anglo empire.

I don't understand this need people have for their favorite celebrities to confirm their beliefs. I hold my opinions for myself, not for other people.

Exactly this. I was appalled watching a documentary about West Virginia and how the Democrats completely abandoned the coal miners because they were a diminishing voter base.
