Not the original commenter but I’d wager similarly that yes, the vast majority of the American people are far too comfortable to venture into the “inconvenience” of an actual war. Gripe about it from our couches? Yep. Lift a finger to bring about actual change (and no, signing an online petition doesn’t count) in the face of real, actual, severe consequence? …nah.
I worry that we as a society have turned a corner and these kind of folks have been empowered to the point there’s no going back. If they aren’t latched into Trump, it’ll just be the next DeSantis/Gaetz/MTG grifter they saddle up to.
How would a sham Supreme Court judge be removed? I know there was talk of impeaching them but… is that actually a thing?
I just finished reading the LotR series with my now-11 yo son (we started a few years ago) and there were definitely plenty of sections like this that I converted to more understandable terms and concepts on the fly. Sure my son may not have heard this exact line, but he definitely got the idea that Shelob was old, bad, and Sauron had encouraged get 8 in exchange for a scary guard in the tunnels into Mordor the fell beasts were scary.
Edit: apparently my son may or may not have gotten an entirely different version of the book told to him!
I collected Marvel cards back in the 90s and I’m pretty sure I have at least a few that are official “collectors items” now. I’ve never looked into it very thoroughly since I just kept them in baseball card pages with no other particular protection from the climate, etc, but who knows?
If I say “no,” does that mean yes?
I am the terror that flaps in the night…
Geez, that was already 2 years ago??
Oh don’t worry about that - as a vegan, they just need to let you know they’re vegan.
I dunno, he doesn’t seem half bad - particularly when you look at the mooks currently in the lineup.
Sorry for your loss. NINE NINE!
Nearly? Amateur.
Absolutely, is this even a real question?
That’s redundant
I set up a test rig with Fedora to see how the gaming went and didn’t have any issues with Steam or a handful of AAA games. Of note though, my test machine has an AMD GPU so I didn’t have to deal with any Nvidia driver shenanigans.
He’s supposed to. Given his track-record, I wouldn’t be surprised if he flat-out omits the almost certain skeletons in his investor closet. If the prosecution can catch him in one of those lies however, there could be fireworks…
Does he not have any accountants?
Probably fired em. When you have more money than nearly the rest of the world combined, you don’t need to keep track of things like “finances” and “books”.
TIL!
