Google has crawlers that comb over the internet seeing what it can find. It takes all of those webpages and then indexes them. This is a very processing and network intensive process on a scale like "all of the exposed internet." Google gives access to the index to other search engines so they don't have to do the crawling. In the process, this lets them control the results on platforms beyond their own.
No, every bullet fired has a lawyer attached.
Pointing the gun is threatening. Pulling the trigger is discharging a deadly weapon, and that bullet is going to hit something.
Also, regardless of what your laws say, do not point your gun at anything you don't intend to immediately destroy.
I convinced a jaded old highschool friend who had never voted by telling him how Trump won EVEN THOUGH the Dems cheated.
"This year, it will be worse. Every vote really does matter right now." He registered right there on the spot to vote Trump.
They very carefully frame their narratives. Conservatives are people or principle. We stand on our beliefs because they're the foundation of our lives. That makes it a very clear target for exploitation by the unprincipled left.
We believe in things like libery, they say things like "You don't have to believe in it, it doesn't affect you."
Except now, it DOES. It was never enough for them to have two adults doing whatever they wanted behind closed doors. They want to put it right in front of our faces and tell us to watch. They want to force our children into believing, embracing, their depraved worldviews.
I believe in personal liberty, but when it comes at the expense of the society everyone else built? Fuck your "expression."
The term is "concern trolling." It's very similar to virtue signaling except it's usually being done by someone who isn't being forthright about their own values. In this case the virtue is safety above all else. The underlying goal is to say "gunowners aren't safe."
They're usually on "the other team" than what they claim to be in a given scenario.
Remember, liberals never talk straight. EVERYTHING has to be a deception.
Funny you say that about aspirin. I've always been in this camp "generics are the same thing" because they are, right? Same ingredients, same amounts.
But I swear to God, all the generics I've been buying have been dropping their efficacy like a damn rock. I don't think generic nsaids from China are made the way they're supposed to anymore. Antihistamines too.
