All of them?

All of them.

Does demolishing a 120+ year old historical building to replace it with a gold-plated ballroom sound like the actions of a man who intends to leave office in 3 years time?

Distraction Cheese

Danya might not have been the face of chess, but he was definitely well known if you played or watched chess streams. RIP, 29 is too young to go for someone so talented.

That was his exact strategy during his first term and he executed it to great effect. Millions of taxpayer dollars got funneled right back into the Trump family coffers.

I think the mushroom trips feel like they take hours to the person taking it, but really hardly any time passes at all.

I wouldn’t know. Haven’t had a chance to do it yet.

That’s because Trump lies about there being a crime epidemic to send in the military.

Take special notice on how the Trump administration never ever ever provides proof or evidence or data of any of these claims. Just “this blue city is a crime infested hellhole” and then they move straight to rubber stamping the jack boot thugs against the wishes of the local governments.

If these military deployments actually had a measurable effect on crime rates in cities, you know for a fact that Republican snakes would be blasting those stats on every airwave.

Jesus fucking christ, that’s incredible. I don’t know what any of that software engineering stuff is, but based on your description of events, it just sounds like a waking nightmare.

If it makes you feel better, companies like that where upper management are quick to throw people under the bus for their own fuck ups are usually not long for this world. They’ll continue to make bad decisions and the effects will be felt both downstream with low employee morale and retention rates, as well as commercial loss for the company. You are much better off being valued for your work elsewhere.

If they are so cunning, why can’t they win a fucking election?

Sega Dreamcast is not an example of a console that I would describe as “built to last”. I had two and both of them died in the same way - the optical lens cracked from heat stress and stopped reading disks. There was never any warning it was about to happen, and no way to prevent it as far as I knew.

As unlucky as I was with the Dreamcast, I made up for it by only ever having to buy one Xbox 360. I still own my original console which was never refurbished and never red ringed on me.

Oh yes, the game where I say “This time I will build tall and focus on diplomacy and alliance building”, before it inevitably devolves into science rush into a military buildup to carry out a century-long xenophopic extermination campaign to rid the galaxy of the alien race who wronged me.

Call me crazy, but maybe I’m uncomfortable associating an entire ethnic group with words written in a book over two millenia ago. Times change, and society changes along with it.

I don’t know a single person who follows the bible/torah/quran as an absolutist. Everyone from every religion and every sect likes to pick and choose what they like to follow.

If someone is committing an act of genocide against another people, I can guarantee they were going to do it regardless of what their silly book says about it.

I have way too many of these and have lost count over time. Porn/porn games, old flash games/animations from Newgrounds, classic memes that only I seem to remember, stuff I saw for sale once upon a time that are sold out and can’t be found anywhere anymore, esoteric collectibles, comments I made on videos or posts literal decades ago, old websites long since defunct and so far lost that even wayback machine doesn’t have them on record, underground/indie music recordings that I definitely had at one point and then lost when switching hard drives out. The list definitely goes on but those are the ones off the top of my head.

I wouldn’t paint with such broad strokes. Jews aren’t the ones to blame for that, the state of Israel is. Just because their state sanctioned religion is Judaism doesn’t mean their philosophy is inherently genocidal.

That being said, if all the monotheistic abrahamic derivatives fell off the face of the earth, I think we’d be set on a better course as a species.

Oh no no, you misunderstand.

You must also be rich and white. It’s not political to lock up poor or minority political candidates, even if they aren’t criminals.

Not only is this a ripoff, but traveling to the United States right now from literally any foreign country is a terrible idea.

If you get picked up off the street by the secret police, there’s nobody who can come to your aid at that point.

Bro, first wall of force and now this? I need to sub to this community lol

I refuse to believe that anybody who claims they are working 80 hours per week are actually productive or efficient for all 80 of those hours. If anything, I think their employers are the ones getting screwed by paying some guy a shit ton of overtime to do theoretically the exact same amount of work that two people working 40 hours could do just as well, if not better.

Everyone should strive to work as little as possible. This was the promise of the future that our ancestors broke their backs to provide for us, and these fucking corporate drones just can’t help but maintain the status quo for internet clout.

Coming up with a stage name is usually something that agents will tell their clients to do if their name sounds “too ethnic”. Happens when they are auditioning for roles, not when they get famous.

Random fact I heard the other day: Leonardo DiCaprio almost sent out headshots with a stage name at the advice of his agent, but his dad talked him out of it and told him to be proud of his name. I forget what they told him his stage name should be, but it was way more generic and forgettable than his real name.

Date pays for their stuff, you pay for your own. Basically, separate tabs.

To be clear, I would have paid if she had asked me to at the time. When the bill came for the food, I asked if she wanted separate or together, but my phrasing made it sound like I wanted to split it and she said that was fine. Whoops.

Don’t worry, she’s making up for lost time. I pay for almost everything when we go out now 😅
