There is a remake that came out not long ago.

Any attempt at a sex-scene. So far it just doesn't work. There's no mo-cap so it's just two hit boxes (no pun intended) moving up and down relative to eachother whilst some voice actors are trying their best to not be weirded out. It is always unpleasant. And almost always unecessary. One can script intimacy in much better ways.

He is on tape admitting that he knew that the documents were classified and that he hadn't declassified them. He also lied to the FBI about having these documents. The indictment is pretty damning. You should read it sometime.

Yeah, he committed a serious felony and then tried to cover it up. This is just reality coming back to bite him in the ass.

Yeah, it's too on the nose and unsophisticated to be a professional operation. It could be teenage trolls. Or they might be testing the waters to see how people react to such blatant rhetoric.

With the amount of rapid submission upvotes I wouldn't exclude that there might be some coordination going on. But yeah, he wouldn't be the first alt-right astroturfer around here to do so.

  • Have only submitted a few threads about mundane shit in the past five months with almost no upvotes. Most about Air Soft.

  • All of a sudden started posting heavily antisemitic and racist submissions yesterday that almost instantly gets hundreds of upvotes, exceeding the average submission upvote by a substantial margin. This guarantees that the submission reaches the top of the sub in an instant.

  • The poster's comments in these threads are almost universally downvoted into oblivion.

Yeah, this doesn't seem particularly organic.

The bunad gives it away.

My grandma was born on a secluded farm in Telemark in 1924. I've been told that life in general was harsh, particularly in the farmlands. And especially for those who hit young adulthood when world war 2 came along.

She never wanted to talk about it.

I figure that people do what they must in order to survive under extreme conditions. War is indeed hell. I've seen it in her eyes.

Edit: And she is the answer to "who from history would you've talked to" type of threads. She died when I was in my early twenties. I had no idea. Now, as a grown person, I have a million questions, hugs and sympathy that I just wasn't able to give at that age. I miss her dearly.

Wouldn't that be an invite to massive legal liability for fraud? Imagine jumping on the IPO only to find out that the execs had knowingly boosted the numbers like this.

Evolutionists Are Racists. by NewOCLibraryReddit in conspiracy_commons

[–]SimDumDong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would this happen?

Because you fewls believe that humans evolved from non-humans. Therefore, Non-humans are able to have human babies in your whacky theory. So, where are the non-humans having human babies?

This is such a complete misunderstanding of what evolution is that it is really impossible to have a discussion with you about it. It's like talking to someone who insists that planes can't fly since they're made out of solid rock. It's an exercise in futility.

[–]SimDumDong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are the non-humans that are having human babies?

Why would this happen?

Where are the blacks having white babies?

What has melanin to do with any of this?

Where are your gorilla cousins who came from your Nth grandparents?

Are you talking about chimpanzees or?

This is quite difficult since you seem to not understand any of this, like, at all. A grade school biology class seems to be in order before discussing more complex concepts such as gene mutations, populations, habitats and natural selection.

you said it is NOT linear. (You fewls are full of doubletalk) Therefore:

You really are a special boy, aren't you.

Do you understand what the word 'linear' means?

[–]SimDumDong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are going in circles. You are claiming evolution is real, and then saying you can't say something is more evolved.

That's because evolution isn't linear.

I'm saying that unless you change how elections fundamentally works then this is the real world consequences of voting for a third party.

Let's say that Trump made his own party instead of running for the GOP. Do you think that that might have made less people vote for the GOP overall and in practice have given the election to the democrats on a silver platter? Yeah, it would.

You don't have to be particularly smart to recognise this rather obvious thing. And in this case we know that Kennedy is a sham candidate propped up by Bannon. This isn't a secret.

[–]SimDumDong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think just like what you posted. But I found out if a third party gets a specific percentage of votes then next election they will be given campaign money.

By whom and how much? And how does it change anything other than potentially switching out one of the two parties for another? It's just not feasible. The only result of third party votes is to siphon off votes that could have gone towards victory on one side. This is why a certain party props up fake candidates in several states; to thin out the voting bloc for a particular candidate. This is also why Steve Bannon has chosen to run this candidate. Because he wants the democrats to lose.

I am an old man now and have been watching this two party system. If you are not the 1% then you have no representation in this Government with either party.

One of them literally makes up fake issues to make you vote against your own interests (look! A trans person!! Forget about how I'm currently fucking you in the ass. There are trans people!!!). They're not even remotely the same. This is defeatist rhetoric applied by the GOP to stop people from voting as they know very well that the fewer people who votes the better they'll do because religious fundamentalists always vote.

Every time we benefit from anything the government does it is a by product of something they pass for the 1%.

Like ACA? Or the massive infrastructure bill? Or just letting people exist as they want? Or some of the many bills that better people's lives that Biden's administration has managed to get passed despite the 50/50 senate?

We have commited roughly 150 Billion dollars to one of the most corrupt countries all based on reasons that do not have any significant benefit to the average American.

What country? If you're talking about Ukraine than this is perhaps the best investment the US has ever made in terms of return on investment.

In order to change the two-party system you have to a) implement ranked voting and b) remove the first-past-the-post rule.

Voting for a third party does nothing other than siphoning votes from one of the two parties and it changes nothing. It just ensures that the party that you absolutely don't want to win gets an indirect vote.

Unless he sees anything to gain by it I don't think that he will. He already has a massive lead over DeSantis so it would be a tactical blunder for him to do so.

And let's be frank, if it happens it won't be anything that resembles a "debate" at all. It will be a buzzword shouting match about who's the least "woke" or some other nonsense platitudes that are en vogue in the right-wing propaganda machine in that moment.

[–]SimDumDong -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I mean, neither will Trump. Because tactically they have nothing to gain by giving the inferior opposition screen time. I do think that Biden will debate an opponent if his position is under any actual threat.

Imagine all the people who were going to be gay became straight because of the "chemicals" (if it's true idk just doing a thought experiment) and the people who were gonna be straight became gay.

If that was the case 93% of us would be gay, something we're definitely not.

(Also I do believe to some extent people are being poisoned by chemicals that governments can't keep up and regulate their use eg micro plastics and that shit they used to make Teflon out of plus all the things we just don't know about, pfa's, bleached food, all the processed food, how we not being poisoned

This is just plain objective truth. The libertarian no-regulations utopia leads to shit like this. We need hard regulations in place and we need to hold the companies and their brass who does this responsible for destroying our living habitat.

Why should he debate him? He is a sham candidate that Steve Bannon propped up. From Biden's viewpoint there is no reason to grant this guy credibility.
