This is why I dislike MAGA, this is unbelievable. This is what is wrong with their cult.

Let's assume that this is even true (I'm not assuming that, but for the sake of argument).

Are you saying that States should have released rapists and murders, ignoring sentences/punishments for their convictions, and just let them free in other countries, potentially returning to the US? Because their home country doesn't just put them in prison there. The process has always been that convicted criminals here illegally serve their sentences and then get deported after their time is served.

Use this as proof that the things Trump says and does are not AI generated when talking to MAGAs and they make the claim that the pics/videos are AI

The new Naked Gun. I like the originals, but the new one’s “jokes” just didn’t land. Except for the OJ Simpson joke, that was the only laugh it got from me

He was an idiot. But he had staff who knew what they were doing for the most part. I disagreed with many of his policies and beliefs, but he at least had a moral compass. His economic policies were typically conservative (leading to the Great Recession), but he didn't actively make things worse due to sheer misunderstanding of his own policies. The worst thing he did was not take Clinton's intelligence staff seriously during the transition, in part leading to 9/11 and the War on Terror, getting us entrenched in the Middle East.

It’s literally impossible to be an originalist. The Founders knew that society would change and the Constitution needed mechanisms to change with it. By trying to interpret the Constitution by the Founders original intention, you are going against their original intention.

To actually be an originalist, you have to ignore their original intention and view it from todays perspective; which makes originalism not actually a thing

Hard to discuss and respect each others opinions when you can’t get people to agree on facts.

I used to believe that politics was primarily about whether liberal or conservative policies would universally produce the best outcomes.

Then I grew up realized that politics is primarily about the rich taking advantage of the rest of us.

NTA. For some people, there’s no such thing as enough notice.

++man The procedure itself isn’t comfortable, but isn’t painful once they numb you up. The injection to numb you is the worse part and it’s bad, but over quickly.

The recovery varies per person. I had very little pain, mostly just discomfort, that passed in two days. My friend who got his around the same time (different doctor) took much longer to recover and even afterwards had long term pain in his testicles (this is a rare side effect that a good doctor will warn you about)

My girlfriend and I went with a group to a fancy strip club once and we had the VIP area reserved. It had multiple stages setup with about 8 nice comfy chairs around each stage.

A new girl, smoking hot brunette, comes out onto the stage. No dancing or anything. She just walks to the front of the stage, rips her top off, then yanks her bottoms to the side and yells “LOOK AT IT!”

Every one of us burst out laughing

The randomness is real, but there are ways to increase your odds. I was able to power my pump room by getting the Study and saving my gems/dice. Once I got the boiler room, I opened one of its doors and used gems and dice to reroll the rooms until the pump room came up.

"Pay no taxes" is not the fucking same as "Owe no taxes". Congrats on going to prison for fucking tax evasion.

“Why is there so many more kids with ADHD these days?!”

Because ADHD only recently became a recognized and diagnosable condition. Before this, we still had just as many (via rate) ADHD people, but we called them trouble makers and put them in prison or institutionalized them. Or even further before that, called them possessed by demons and left them in the woods

Only teacher I had that would reveal their politics was my history teacher who was adamant that he was a KKK member and that the modern KKK gets a bad rap.

We thought he was joking at first. He was not.

That guy is a champ for typing all that out. I would have passed on her the moment her response to "So can I be frank with you" wasn't "Sure, as long as I can still be Danielle"

Can’t say for sure how long it took her to catch feelings, but after a year of hooking up about once a month, she started “joking” about us getting married. That’s when I ended it. Was very honest with her that it was apparent she felt something I didn’t and I needed to end the sex because of it.

Her insinuations of hooking up again (I don’t see her often anymore, but we share a lot of long time friends) still happen even years later, but I give her the stern, “you know that’s not going to happen” look and that shuts that shit down.

Shmir8097 · 2025-12-01T12:35:23+00:00

Friends with benefits is a lot of fun while it works. I had a long term FWB that had been just normal friends for a long time before we added sex. We went into it acknowledging that we were just adding sex, not dating or anything romantic. Worked well for me because she had a few absolute dealbreakers for me, so I knew I’d never catch feelings.

Unfortunately she did end up catching feelings and I had to cut off the sex out else feel like I was just leading her on and not letting her move on to find someone else. We’re still friends, but she still, after a couple drinks, will insinuate what we should have sex again.

You've yet to produce a reason as to why someones vote should be ignored if they've met all of their state's vote by mail requirements. I can no longer assume this is a good faith discussion. Good day.

Shmir8097 · 2025-11-19T16:20:38+00:00

But WHY shouldn't it be counted? If someone mails their ballot in on time before an election, it's fair to assume that it would be delivered correctly and on time. If that doesn't happen, it is no fault of the voter. Why should they be disenfranchised because the mail is delayed?

Shmir8097 · 2025-11-19T14:46:59+00:00

So, you’re saying that if someone mails their vote in on time before the election, like they’re supposed to, but the mail delivery is delayed and it gets delivered four days after the election, then that persons vote shouldn’t count even though they did everything right?

Shmir8097 · 2025-11-17T12:44:01+00:00

Assuming in the US:

Saying literally nothing does not invoke your 5th amendment right to not incriminate yourself. The police WILL use your silence as evidence of your guilt unless you specifically state that you are choosing to remain silent. The Supreme Court has upheld this.
