“If I had to enact it, I’d do that. If people were being killed and courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I’d do that. I mean, I want to make sure that people aren’t killed. We have to make sure that our cities are safe,” he added.

But people already are being killed. By ICE.

I used to be really good at reflecting with the rear-view. As long as they were far enough away that I could see their windshield, I could usually land a direct hit. I’ve had a few instances where I’ll see the sombitch slam on their brakes.

Yeah, some teens experiment, but not like this.

What makes you believe this?

Consuming media is a great way to supplement your language-learning, but be careful not to confuse the dialog used in anime with actual conversational Japanese. Just like how nobody actually talks like a Western cartoon character does, Japanese people don’t talk like anime characters. Anime dialog is largely dramatized.

Also for what it’s worth; depending on what you’re watching, the English dubs have gotten way better in recent years. There’s a lot of good talent in the dub scene these days, and Japanese directors are getting better at trusting the performance of western voice actors, instead of demanding that the actor sounds the way they think it should sound in English. In my experience, most dubs post-2010 are generally pretty good. Generally.

How does unionization help for independent contractors? Genuinely asking, because drivers are generally not considered to be employed by the platform they drive for, so I’m unclear as to what sort of bargaining power this actually offers them, beyond better-organized lobbying efforts.

Unless you like seminars about GNU, there’s not really a lot of original media on the Fediverse that the average person would be interested in.

The Fediverse is a niche within a niche.

Did I stutter?

One thing to keep in mind with body dysmorphia is that what you think about their body is unlikely to change how they feel about their body. Often times, dysmorphia doesn’t stem from outside influences, and is an entirely internal struggle. Depending on what their dysmorphia is rooted in, showering them in praise may help them accept their body, or may compound their negative emotions (“I’m ugly and I’m dating an idiot”).

You both have valid desires, but they’re both at odds with each other. Honestly, I’d recommend a therapy session for the both of you. It would probably be beneficial to have a neutral third party involved in the conversation.

Nah.

What kind of fucking idiot believes that Democrats are radicalizing anybody? They can’t even radicalize their own base enough to fucking vote.

I’m not the way I am because of Democrats. I’m the way I am because of fascist Republicans.

That’s an example of it specifically not working.

Has he clarified what he meant by this yet? Because it’s really, really fucking weird that he said that, and that nobody even called him out for that.

That actually happens kinda frequently with some TV shows. For instance, The House MD theme song is famously Teardrop by Massive Attack, but some streaming platforms didn’t get the rights to that song, and they replace it with a very similar song. I was watching House with a friend a while back, on Netflix I believe, and remember thinking “Wait a sec, this isn’t Teardrop”, and sure enough the credits listed a completely different song for the opening.

It was never about making America safer, it was about making Americans scared.

If any of those generals had a spine, they’d have pulled out their service weapon and Kirk’d that alcoholic right where he stood. You know, the way warriors are supposed to deal with traitors and wife-beater pussies.

This is my time.

Yeah, that’s why I used “allegedly”, because these claims are very shaky and hard to prove one way or the other. A lot of it seems fabricated to me.

He was allegedly in a relationship with his roommate, who may be trans.
