That anyone would have the fucking audacity to sell tickets to something billed as Fyre Festival 2, is now just standard 2025 worst timeline stuff.

The grifters have worn everyone down to where people just put up with appalling treatment and come back for more.

Can't believe I had to scroll this far to find this. Looks like my school and yours were the only two in the world where it occurred to anyone that you can just superglue the door shut to stop the little shits from thieving them.

There's been a hell of a lot of "we're not at the stage..." in the last four months, that we then very much found ourselves at the stage of.

There's mischaracterisations, and then there's just flat-out lies. You're telling the latter.

(also, the sheer fucking irony of naming yourself "libertyforever" while cheerleading a system of life imprisonment without trial)

A lot of people think of "venomous" as being a one-dimensional property like strength or speed that you have to build your way up towards. But really it's just how this substance your body produces that reacts with another substance in another creature who evolved on a whole other continent to you.

There doesn't need to be a strong evolutionary imperative to be able to kill a herd of elephants, it's enough for there to not be a strong disincentive not to produce enough venom to do it.

Won't happen. There's long been a gap between what registered party members want and what those in charge actually do.

We saw the same thing in the UK a few years ago when Jeremy Corbyn got a huge swell of support from the party proper, but all the other Labour MPs collectively rounded on him and conspired to kick him out of the party altogether because he was going to put a stop to their gravy train.

It's also worth keeping in mind that if the USD/CNY exchange rate fell in line with the two countries' PPP, China would be biggest economy in the world by a margin of nearly 30%.

You're correct, but are getting downvoted by people who treat the whole topic like they're supporting a sports team.

Poe's law strikes again. OOOP has to be joking right? I mean it's not like they're loading up that hay to take back to their apartment in the city. Anyone who's in a position to be moving a bale of hay around, will have used a regular truck before and will have seen hay.

This is a lot of mental gymnastics going on here. Reading John 6:10 and Mark 12:13 as "Jesus wouldn't agree with Marx because Marx is of this world and Jesus is only about heaven" is a hell of a leap.

Your analysis would come off slightly less disingenuous if not for the fact that you're a very active poster in the conservative groups and not once have you raised any objection to the religious right being neck-deep in the running of the country. Seems like "don't co-opt Jesus to push your politics" only applies to leftists in your world.
