Was wondering myself. I’m worried we’ve done the same thing to these bugs that we did to bacterial pathogens with antibiotics. I.e. we found a REALLY powerful weapon, used it enough to massively alter the survival pressures of the species, but not enough to eradicate it entirely until they just genetically adapt around that new pressure. If some genetic lines of the species were more inclined to radiation resistance or to altered reproduction patterns/sexual selection, then those became the only genetic lines that can propogate. Would be slow at first, but exponential growth is a bitch. There is a finite window of generations to wipe them all out before they’re all replaced by the more resistant genetic lines. Super bugs.

Funny. Now do something of substance.

Made me think about Dimension 20’s Mentopolis. All of these would be characters instead of stats though.

Is he even attempting to make up a justification for it other than “help those who hurt the right people”?

Hmm. No.

Lick my sack, Cruz.

Fiend: Look, I’ll take what I can get. Can I get the legs? I’ll take the legs. She can have the top part.

Archfey: Did you just call the head the “top part”? That is so fucked up.

FR. My Battle Smith Artificer can suddenly learn the Wizarding arts and summon a spell book mid-dungeon crawl despite most wizards spending their life learning those things. But despite being able to harness the weave into mundane objects, including armor, to enhance them, or create magic items wholecloth, and even create a living construct, I cannot actually create a magic suit of armor and become an armorer artificer, no matter how much I try.

Trump is the literal worst thing to happen to American politics in living memory, and I can’t stand his stupid fucking evil face. Why would I want to whitewash his speech? What I want is for people not to freak out over literally mishearing his words and make a big deal out of nothing.

I listened to it three times. He said “or”. It is not the clearest “or” to ever be uttered because the man cannot fucking speak correctly. But it certainly wasn’t “but”. There are absolutely thousands of statements he has said that are objectively racist, sexist, hateful, moronic and hypocritical that we can and should be mad about on top of all the other shit to be mad about regarding Trump. Hell even within this same sentence there is shit to be mad about with the drag disparaging. But that one phrase is not one of them.

Just listened again. He said or. But doesn’t even make sense in context with his following statement.

He said or. You are hearing what you want to here. But doesn’t even make sense in the context of the statement.

Oh absolutely. He’ll say whatever he thinks his supporters in the room want him to say. He doesn’t give a shit what he says.

Hey said “or”, not “but”. Just listened to the audio to confirm. The transcript is wrong and flips the meaning of his statement.

He said “or” not “but”. Just listened to the audio to confirm. The transcript is wrong and flips the meaning of that sentence.

He said “or” not “but”. Just listened to confirm. The transcript is wrong and completely flips the meaning of that sentence.

So the transcript is incorrect. I just listened to the audio to confirm. He did not say “The job of the U.S. armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun”. He said "“The job of the U.S. armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, or to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun”. It entirely changes the meaning of that sentence. Fuck Trump, but let’s make sure that information is correct before jumping on it.

It is my promise that if I every have standing to sue for violation of my constitutional rights, any agents of law enforcement or the government involved will be married to my case for years. I will not let it go. I will not settle. I will be a fucking problem. You’ll think of my name when you’re lying in bed at night. If you’re reading this right now on my phone that you confiscated for no justifiable legal cause, you’ve been warned.

Ah, it is a deduction on federal tax based on paid state and local tax. That makes more sense.

Wait, is congress trying to dictate state and local tax policy? Why? And how would that be allowed. They have power over federal taxes and interstate commerce, not internal tax policies for each state.

Yeah, I’m all for reminding Red States that they are dependent on Blue states when they talk about secession (cuz FAFO), but this is not an imbalance that needs fixed. Like individual costs can be wasteful spending, but wealthier states taking care of poorer states or safer state paying for disaster relief in more vulnerable states is just good sense and how a unified nation should be. It’s the same reason wealthy individuals should be more responsible for taking care of the less wealthy or poor individuals too. This is not a game of “fuck you, got mine.” We should not be encouraging the hoarding of wealth when others are in need, whether individuals or states. There are plenty of reasons to be angry with red states, but their geography or poverty (the actual poverty itself, not the policies that contribute to it) are not those reasons.
