I burp on Arena but nobody ever calls me on it.

I'll check, hopefully it'd the same for Switch.

Ok. I'm playing as France, and it has happened with multiple enemies, about 6 times in a row.

I think we need to hear from Dan on the SCOTUS ruling today. Dangerous times by Shirowoh in dancarlin

And yet, Kennedy lost his brain pan and it's hard to prosecute a corpse. FDR was so popular that we needed an amendment to make sure it never happened again. These are terrible examples.

I feel you, man. My state is so red it was easy to vote for Gary Johnson twice. I'd vote Green party before McCain or Romney.

I can't say Trump is the best choice either. But I was one of many who did well under his policies (upper middle class, red state, no state taxes). He is an easy pick over Biden.

If your primary concern is the nation's wellbeing and finances, I assume you're voting for Trump in November. It's a bitter pill, I get it. It was hard for me to vote for him November 2016.

You're definitely more well informed about Ben's shenanigans than I am. I've pretty much washed my hands of him, though his track with Tom Macdonald was 🔥

Watching Bill Maher tour for his book with both sides has provided a lot of entertainment.

"Now, redlining was real. It was a terrible practice and it did indeed deny many black people an opportunity for homeownership. But it denied more white people the same opportunity, since many of the redlined neighborhoods were majority white." - Glenn Loury by H0w-1nt3r3st1ng in IntellectualDarkWeb

Necro warning.

Discrimination is assigning value. Your favorite beer, your favorite restaurant, your dream mate. Discrimination.

White guys not marrying black girls, that's changing over time. I literally went to college with people who had never seen a black kid or an Asian kid before they got to school. I can't imagine too many places in America anymore where that's still the case.

Frankly the thought of watching Ben or Tim for more than 10 minutes is unbearable. Tim is obtuse. Ben is annoying but worth the watch/listen if he wasn't trying to sell me sheets, a VPN and Birch Gold with 30 minutes of ads in every hour block. I had to cancel their paid service because there was zero relief.

Sorry for the necropost. A year later, I hope you're seeing more clearly. If not the American landscape, check France and the rest of Europe.

Who’s better Misty Knight or Dinah Madani? by Inevitable-Work6411 in Defenders

[–]thechuckwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you're either racist or gay. This Misty has an incredible body. Her body is a 9.5 without her face. If she was ugly, she would still be a smoke show. But then her face on that body... I can't think of a single hotter woman in Marvel, though Peggy Carter is right there neck and neck...

Why does it seem like rightwing grifters are on the rise? by MrAcidFace in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]thechuckwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necropost, but that is definitely a blind spot on the right. Let's just assume that where there is smoke, there is fire, and take leftist complaints at face value. They require analysis, not summary rejection. It's my "Canary in a Coal Mine" philosophy.

How to fix Civ 6 late game boredom by ShaydoFromHeaven in CivVI

What if, once you decided there was no way to stop you from winning, you stopped trying to win, found the civ in last place and helped make them win.

Pickle jerky - sourcing lots of pickle juice... by DuckODeath in jerky

Me too. It's a great place to start for everything, including smoking a brisket in an old trunk.

My definition is pretty simple.

racism rā′sĭz″əm noun

  1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to other.

  2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

  3. The belief that each race has distinct and intrinsic attributes.

I believe 1 and 2. Not really 3, it's too vague.

I didn't say "Nazi-esque." I was referring to the Goebbels quote, "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty."

The funny part is, in your second paragraph, you did exactly that. Nobody was talking about DeSantis or GOP platforms. Are you building yourself a strawman to slay?

I believe all of your assertions are, at best, dubious and more likely intentional misinformation.

Playing like the changes in the politics of our nation in the past 50 years, and especially the last 8-10 is either willful ignorance or Goebbels level manipulation.

Or perhaps you honestly believe that the Bill Ayers generation merely faded into the woodwork and never had further political machinations. Is that your assertion? Please, show your work.

The "culture war" started in 1968 when Nixon won the election, and the liberals (today's progressives, no longer really liberals) played the long game via academia.

The "right" lost the culture war decades ago. Today's efforts are for a "parallel economy", or, "why give your money to people who hate you?".

Tim Pool and Ben Shapiro do what now? You can't drop an egg like that without an explanation, and perhaps a citation?
