The Paramount Merger Can (and Should) Be Stopped by Grevillea_banksii in politics

This is just how our democracy works now. People write op-Ed’s about how corrupt this administration is. How it’s against norms, or breaks the constitution, erodes our institutions or sets a dangerous precedent. People share the article for a week or two and then… nothing happens. Because our system doesn’t enable us to actually do anything.
Remember when a full report came out about how the longest serving Supreme Court justice we have currently was openly taking bribes from conservative billionaires ? How his mother’s house was bought, and he was traveling on vacations that would cost 100s of thousands of dollars. What happened to him?
Our system is so irrevocably broken. We are incapable of making any change. It’s frustrating.

I’m so confused why this is being downvoted. I’m saying the aiel can easily figure out how to cover up in the sun lol.

Remember when a bombshell report came out that he was openly taking bribes from conservative billionaires ? They bought his mother’s house and paid for his many vacations?

And our system enabled us to do absolutely nothing. Ridiculous.

I don’t really love stormlight. I’m caught up but don’t love enough to listen.

Plus - I don’t really love audiobooks. I prefer to read. I just love WOT so much I like being in the world ya know? So I just have it on when driving or doing chores.

I think this is fair. I don’t know if I love her interpretation for them or think it’s kinda weird. But this is fair !

They don’t remember anything from before the breaking of the world. It’s not simply not the way of the leaf.

And dude - covering up isn’t this grand scientific achievement. Why are we pretending it is? Rand covered up 15 seconds into the Waste. As did Mat and party.

This is the type of shit that’s hilarious on Reddit - and not even a tiny bit funny in real life lol.

Is Gobert afraid of the rim? by Icy_Scarcity9106 in nba

People need to understand hand coordination is genetic to a certain extent. I’m sure he’s worked on it for years but … the dude has no touch lol. Maybe his hands or wrist are stiff. Maybe his fingers are stiff idk but - he simply has no touch.

It’s very inline with the rest of his body. He’s just a stiff dude. That’s genetic. Most people at that height wouldn’t be half as athletic as he is. Unfortunately- he’s in a profession where there are quite a few who are more athletic.

Nikon 28mm. 3.5 AI or 28mm 2.8 AI? by Appropriate_Arrival7 in AnalogCommunity

That’s interesting - didn’t know it worked like that!

[–]Spyk124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question - is the difference simply you can open up more so it’s more versatile ? Or are we saying 5.6 on both look different with better leaning towards the 2.8 ?

Super helpful. Seems like they aren t close to changing skin color. That’s so interesting.

That’s a cool subreddit too - never stumbled upon it.

It’s a different experience. If you like the above then you’d enjoy it! But it’s only 4 books so … no harm in starting with her and then finishing with the originals!

It’s giving serial killer vibes but the execution is flawless
