also agree, a trump equivelant would have executed not sure the second the IQ test came in.
Honestly the most unbelievable part of that movie is, the president seems to be one of the smartest people born in that generation. Yeah he seems dumb by our standards, but you put him next to the lawyers and everyone else in that society… he actually seems pretty brilliant.
I’d say it partly depends on where you live… or where you plan to live. Bottom line is in the US anywhere that isn’t a big city. Being able to drive is basically going to be a pre-requisite to having a job.
Want to add in a potential extra as well… even if you DO find a service good and worth continuing to use, It’s a good idea to try and cancel it anyway. Why, because a lot have special automations to attempt to retain you by offering you deals.
“are you sure you want to leave, what if we gave you 3 months at half off?”.
Rimworld does pretty well on not just “money trader has” but specifically that traders don’t deal in, well things they don’t deal in.
Elder scrolls to my knowledge, the blacksmith will sell you a sword… and literally buy cheese wheels down to his last penny.
what’s he going to do then… flip the sign from black smith to cheese shop, until he builds up enough cash to restock on metals, why isn’t everyone a general store at that point due to customers selling and buying random stuff.
More dumb to me is, just simply the concept of nations changing drastically over time. It was the communist party of russia that fought along side us in WW2, it was the facist states in germany and japan that we fought against.
Obviously it’s not the land mass and the name that people have problems with, it’s the actions, people don’t like the authoriterian regime that’s attempting to take over the nations around it. People like the nations that show no signs of attacking other nations and look for mutually beneficial agreements.
This is so much like the confusion when he thought the german leader would think of D-Day as a bad day.
Well yeah but I believe the idea is in short the uncertainty, why it’s saying “in 10 years”. Think of it now as you have a kid graduating high school this year, and asks you what to major in in college that’s likely to make enough to pay off those killer loans it’s going to take.
and, same wording as the US is liberating california, from… itself.
Good fucking grief… Have they not watched trumps negotiations and the patterns
Trump makes impossible unreasonable demand.
Other nation gives half as a compromise
Trump takes the half, then attempts to take the rest by force.
Denmark now needs to be ready to get bombed, by fucking planes launched from their own god damn airbases.
Was going to start with thinking that, but then watched the video. I’m hearing far more “My friend runs a land scaping business, and he lost 10 or so, he’s going out of business”. Then comments on how they don’t live in a big city and they don’t know how they are going to find people to hire. Finally in the last 15 seconds he tears up and says he got to know them as friends and he hates seeing what it did to them and their families.
So yeah… feels like “I won’t make money”, “I’ll lose my business”, and “oh yeah they were good people who I hate to see their lives ruined”.
Well I can agree with the general concept, we are closer than ever to the brink of a nuke being dropped on US soil. Because the only time anyone has considered a situation important enough to drop a nuke, it was to stop an alliance of facists from wrecking the world.
Who’d have thought encouraging actual government officials to wear masks, not identify themselves and refuse to prove their legitimacy would open the door for criminals to impersonate them easier.
(and that’s of course also ignoring the possibility of, what if a few actual ice agents take advantage of their anonymity and use the plausible deniability to commit crimes).
Based on the rule of “it’s always projection with these guys”, I’m going to conclude elon just did a shitty job on his robot after executing trump.
Who’s going to be surprised? The leaders who will never be in the same state? Nah it’s advantageous for them. The soldiers? Either they are following orders and gritting their teeth as they fire at innocent civilians, or they believe the propoganda that the protestors are a violent threat to the country. Surprise will be if say, on the order a significant portion of the armed forces back the protestors.
The thing that shocked me… I was fully expecting that kind of BS ideas from say Jeffries, Schumer, Newsome etc…
But then looking at it the one I’ve seen talking about it was… Ro Khanna, which was one I considered in the “overall tollerable” side of the democrats.
Kind of, a bit greyer there, first depends if it remains sustainable, though I’d like to point out the US at least. While some states do want to push for a cover up. It’s fair to say that overall american history still notes the atrocities that say the US forced on the Native Americans. or say Asian Americans in WW2 etc… Of course that’s also because the US kept a free press so far. With enough corporate or government control of the press, it’s very likely “patriotic history” will replace objective history.
I’m assuming it’s a reference to the conspiracy theory trump re-truthed… basically claiming that biden died (or was actually executed) in 2020 and was replaced by a robot. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-shares-unfounded-conspiracy-theory-claiming-biden-was-executed-2-rcna210244
Don’t stick up for the person, stick up for the policy. It’s wrong for the president to order the arrest of politicians who are standing up for their constituents, full stop.
Trump could arrest fucking MTG for saying she regrets voting for the big beautiful bill, and I’ll call it wrong for a president to arrest a member of congress over a poltiical disagreement. While still noting she’s still an idiot that no one in the right mind should have ever voted for.
I mean fuck that guy as in, his political asperations should be dead with his bullshit “lets find common ground” with nazi’s.
But, this situation is far more about what’s going on than who it’s going on with. In this situation he’s doing the right thing, he’s pushing back against facism. On it’s face trump is testing the limits of the laws, the willingness of the national guard to commit attacks on US citizens and government officials. If trump succesfully arrests newsom and gets away with it. Than you can expect 2 results. Some centrists will cancel any attempts to slow down the martial law to try to spare themselves, and those willing to fight will also be arrested.
I don’t know your stances enough to say whether or not you have a single politician you support. But assuming they are not pro load everyone into concentration camps without due process, than you should be concerned.
Biggest flaw IMO is it seems like they just are going with a binary “left – right”. rather than specific issues as well.
IE, when the democratic party “leans right”, they adopt, cut taxes on corporations, they basically give the right their narratives.
IE Republicans on immigration:
There’s millions of murderous drug cartel pet eating monsters in this country wrecking everything, we need to get them all out of here by any means necessary.
Dems response: We should absolutely get them out of here, but it’s worth it to do it slowly and keep due process.
The obvious problem being to the uneducated voter they hear “The parties agree, there are lots of horrible murderers here, do I care more about the rights of the murderers, or getting them out before there are victims”.
