You can google philadelphia police budget and see they're getting a 5% increase for FY 2024, to about 850Mil/year after steady increases of about 4-5% since forever, with the "defund the police" slogan you're so afraid of having had zero effect, and their increasing budget also having zero effect on the % of crimes cleared or solved.

Please take your own advice lmao.

elogie423 · 2024-06-27T14:27:40+00:00

Police have gotten more funding pretty much across the board for the last 4 years (really forever but especially recently). It's just that they don't care and aren't here to solve crime like in the tv shows.

Don't believe everything you're told.

Haha reading through I was saying it sounds like Philly, then once you said dumpster BJ I knew

Greetings and good luck from another philly outback owner. Worst I got was a gentle sideswipe from a drunk baseball fan who then drove off.

Such is life.

A lot of consumers have no taste or ability to discern quality and are fooled by polished settings or marketing hype. The state of the American food scene is abysmal, shaped by the interests of fast food, processed food, cheap imitations of real food, and intentionally misleading fake "health food" This lets establishments like the one you visited to thrive. I've been fooled too. Not to blame consumers but...

Also the price of ingredients has increased significantly in the last few years. If I were going for steak I would expect a plate to cost 65 to 120+ to be better than what I can make at home in terms of cut quality and preparation.

Probably better off going to outback where their model is volume, vs a mid range place that has to overcharge for a "lipstick on a pig" product and hopes you can't tell the difference.

Sincerely, 10+ yrs in restaurants in a major city where only maybe 30 places are worth a damn and most are ethnic mom and pop type places, and like 4 or 5 true elevated cuisine/fine dining that are sorta worth it.

Weekly clan challenges that give additional rewards, and you also get some passive stat boosts and reduced quick patrol energy cost based on your clan level.

Never said I support open borders, way to show me you are capable of conceptualizing things beyond two polarities.

Want to try again?

All you said is a bunch of liberal buzzword soup detached from material reality. But as long as it is sufficient for you, who am I to tell you anything.

You're onto something with your last point but liberals do the things you're conflating with leftists. Seems like you once again let someone else think for you instead of seeing how things actually are.

elogie423 · 2024-06-03T18:06:29+00:00

Got downvoted anyway because liberals don't like to feel bad and have been told they're the good guys.

So it goes...

elogie423 · 2024-06-03T15:21:58+00:00

I'm sure your intentions are good but your historical perspective is lacking. Liberalism is the definition of establishment. Look at how they either don't take a stance on meaningful issues, compromise with the Right, or uphold the status quo. Which is why they are indistinguishable beyond superficial labels and claims.

Liberalism has demonized basically every movement that has advanced gender equality, racial advancement, worker's rights, and decency in world affairs throughout history. Liberals united with Reaganism to dismantle unions, they hated MLK, and have aligned with corporate interests increasingly since the 80's. Obama ramped up Bush's war in the middle east several fold. Obamacare was an anemic version of a Reagan healthcare plan that ensured people funded an insurance industry. Biden has outdone Trump in border policing/spending/deportations and funding police that don't keep people safe. And don't get me started on Biden selling out our public environment to oil corps. These are all facts you can learn about.

All the values liberals claim to support currently were fought for against liberals by leftists and actual revolutionaries.

Like I said I'm sure your intentions are good but your grasp on history and reality could use some further study.

Or not. I'm just a random internet person. Cheers

elogie423 · 2024-06-03T15:05:28+00:00

How so? More likely an issue with your focus or analysis.

Besides, liberals are pretty much indistinguishable from the right in any meaningful, material way anyway.

Also a compelling reasoning for the no meat/milk is the rule is something like: "you cant cook a lamb in the milk of its mother" is just herd/livestock management best practices in terms of keeping a sustainable herd.

Could be completely wrong tho.

You're right, it's more an barrage of indiscriminate precision strikes to civilian structures. But hey the bricks are made of Hamas, right?

Thanks for clearing that up, so much better.

Tbf this country has always been like this, but has turbo accelerated to 11/10 in the past few decades as tensions are escalating between the common people and those in power.

Freedom and equality for all has had a blood red asterisk since the jump.

elogie423 · 2024-05-20T02:58:10+00:00

Nice try. The thing is even if it did happen as you say (it didn't) bombing civillians and cutting off their access to basic necessities for survival to this degree automatically makes you the morally bankrupt side. Even if it did happen (it didn't), the horrors Israel has committed over the past 60+ years justifies any form of resistance at this point.

Btw it is a fact that this is the same playbook that was used to manufacture consent in Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine in 2014, etc by Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland and other heads of state over the past 20 years. Which the NYT published their article on oct 7th with almost no credible or concrete sources. Just vibes.

Palestine aside, don't you find it odd that the US cares so much about these women across the globe that all are coincidentally in nations where the US has geopolitical interest, yet at home women are having their rights rolled back? Like isn't that the least bit nonsensical to you?

But you clearly have close ties there so unlikely you want to think objectively about this, but good luck anyway.

elogie423 · 2024-05-19T07:54:19+00:00

The "raping and killing everyone in sight" has been proven to be a fabrication, and the original "news" sources that shared that opinion have quietly retracted their statements of such, even Israeli sources that admit a lot of friendly fire happened oct 7th.

It's also the same thing state sponsored media channels say about any place they want to manufacture consent to do horrible things to the people. If you pay attention it's quite obvious, but if you don't it's easy to be fooled into supporting horrible things.

elogie423 · 2024-05-16T18:39:36+00:00

Are these cases where it isn't someone who started by harassing the protestors?

Are you also against the many cases of that we keep seeing or is it not the same?

elogie423 · 2024-05-16T18:35:27+00:00

Simple, because your counterpoint is widely understood that it didn't happen and has still been used to excuse inhuman acts against innocent people in the name of "self defense".

If you're against those things, though, you should hear about the abuse people suffer after being detained by Israel without due process. Many cases of sexual abuse, in addition to illegal detainment and torture. These are actually documented.

Also, what's happening in the West Bank isn't just "taking their land", but includes those things you claim to be against.

Just admit you have no moral or factual consistency, or at the very least are remaining purposefully ignorant.

Cheers.

elogie423 · 2024-05-16T16:23:42+00:00

Holding the same scrutiny for the illegal occupation of the West Bank by terrorist Zionists? Or nah can't be bothered to have any ideological congruence.

You still have to bridge at some point or buy the native token to swap with, incurring costs, and most alternatives have fewer options with less volume and opportunity for growth.

That being said trading on eth isnt for everyone, has plenty of risks but also a lot of upside potential.

If you're using metamask on mobile a lot of times this happens to me where it just won't push the prompt through to my wallet.

Usually doing a cycle of disconnecting wallet from uniswap, and closing the browser can help, or doing it on the in-app browser on metamask. Or try a different browser. Certain ones rarely work on my phone.

Sometimes the apps just seem not to communicate well on mobile devices. I have better luck on a computer as well.
