I believe the Sermon on the Mount essentially says “clothe the naked, feed the hungry, take care of the sick.”. No limits on time.

The Didoche was written in an era where Christian communities generally had little wealth and were constantly in danger of arrest or execution. This is NOT the case in most places now, and especially not in the US, which this meme is referencing.

Nobody who’s suggesting state assistance is suggesting that we “take care” of people forever, at least not under the current system. Indeed, the data pretty easily shows that if you give people a place to stay, solid food aid, and some cash to deal with bills and miscellania, they start being functioning members of society, and get jobs and start the detox process or whatever interventions they need, really quick, like within months. This has been trialed even in the US in places like Denver, and it works.

So what you’re really saying is “I don’t want more of my money going to helping other people.” Have fun being the richest man in the cemetery.

Green is running Stein again, I thought? Except she’s gone pretty much towards the same extreme isolationism as Oliver and RFK.

Every name that’s been floated polls worse and has SOME form of baggage attached, or is a complete and utter unknown.

In fact, it would have to be the DoJ or Congress that did so - Biden could order the DoJ to stop, and arguably could have anyone in Congress killed or jailed without trial by stating that they presented a clear danger to democracy by trying to impeach him.

See: Jill Stein, whoever the fuck the Libertarians are running now, Gary Johnson.

Your first mistake is thinking that people like Thomas actually feel empathy for other people that aren’t them. There’s been studies on this - wealth, especially extreme wealth, physiologically changes how your brain processes things like empathy, altruism, etc.

Especially when so many states are decriminalizing weed, this could definitely make a lot of state prosecutors very very happy.

Nah, remember his “little guys with yarmulkes” thing back in 2016? He likes minorities so long as they “know their place”.

I suggest we all start revering Ahura Mazda.

Even when those aid vehicles are clearly marked and identify themselves as aid vehicles after they’re opened fire upon.

Not these Teslas, from what I understand. The type of glass they use is EXTREMELY resistant to shattering.

Ahhh, but if you read the article, this is different. This redefines it to “if you PERCEIVE there to be a threat of death or injury” - meaning that any suburban cowboy can just blast the bear wandering through their backyard and not hurting anyone because “well I figured it would hurt my kids if it came towards the house”. Kinda like how Wyoming relaxed hunting laws to allow farmers to kill pretty much whatever wolves they came across.

Honestly, same here. I despise what they enabled, and continue to enable. I also despise that they’re facing homelessness and serious healthcare issues because nobody should have to face that, regardless of how repugnant I might find their beliefs and actions. I honestly hope that they manage to get out from under this and continue to live long, healthy, and happy lives, because I believe that everyone SHOULD have these things.

That’s an odd way to spell Drake.

And those are just suggestions. Your mech, as long as it conforms to a pattern-group (read: has bits from one license or another) can look like literally anything. Wanna play a Tokugawa but it’s Blade Liger? You can do that. Wanna do a Sunzi that’s literally Big O? Go for it.

The name refers to “move on before sundown” - as in, if you’re a minority and caught there after sundown, you’d be beaten or killed or both.

I’ll be the one to point out that TMI is exactly what you want to happen in a “nuclear disaster”. Nobody got seriously hurt that we know of, the problem was found and dealt with quickly once identified, and we’ve implemented TONS of extra safeties to make sure that can’t happen again without massive alarms and Serious Lights. Could it have not happened at all? Absolutely. But in a disaster, it’s the perfect “disaster” - nobody died, nobody got seriously injured directly, the plant got screwed up, and $2b to clean up ANY disaster site is honestly pretty damn cheap when we’re talking radioactive heavy metal remediation.

So, Fukushima was a story of incompetence and bribery, not under-engineering. It was perfectly safe when built. In the 30 years after that, the owners bribed investigators again and again to cover up deficiencies that were known.

I’m not sure what the nuclear plant being occupied by Russians who forced the entire safety team out at gunpoint has to do with the plant not being safe. The team was willing, by their own words, to keep working even with the Russians occupying the plant, even just keeping a minimum skeleton crew there to safely shut down the plant if necessary. That was shot down, almost literally - and Ukraine has been VERY careful about shelling that plant for political and infrastructure reasons even though enemy combatants are using it as a shelter to launch their own artillery strikes from.

Even worse, I’ve run into fans who think the Terrans had the right idea.

I’ll bet you anything it’s taxes.
