This is why I think this is doomed to fail. There's shitloads of alternative platforms, what the hell makes Trump think that a Trump-branded one will help? He'd do us a better service by creating technical infrastructure like a conservative version of AWS or something.
-
Yes. Women are smaller and weaker than men and often find themselves alone with young children. Access to firearms and firearms training improves women's safety and security as well as enables them to better protect their children.

Removal of the filibuster is irrelevant because this would require a Constitutional amendment.
-
Yes.

a - I don't believe in possessed objects such as guns or Chuckie dolls that behave independently, so that's correct. It often requires human intervention to make objects dangerous (or natural events, such as rock slides.)
b - When it gets to the point where someone is confronted with a "bad guy with a guy" all other social and legal constructs to prevent this event have failed. Criminal and crazies tend to ignore laws and social values, that's part of what makes them criminals and crazies. Wishing my assailant had better access to mental health services doesn't protect me when these systems have failed.
- My generation should protect gun rights but their political power has been stolen by commies. Until that is resolved, my generation has no rights.
I remember reading a breakdown of this - on Forbes? - that went something like this:
Men's pro soccer collects a big purse from ticket sales, merch sales, and so on. For comparison, the men's World Cup back in 2018 raked in something like 6 billion in revenue, whereas the women's 2019 cup brought in around 130 million. Each team / star player negotiates for their share of the purse. The better the team / star player, the more negotiating power they have and as such the bigger share of the purse they receive. Men's soccer teams - ie, players' salaries - represented about 8-10% of the overall collected revenue purse.
Women's soccer does not generate nearly as much revenue as men's soccer. Thus, women's soccer contracts actually guarantee them a larger share of the purse just so the players don't play for free basically. That share is something like 30% of the collected revenue. Even so, women's soccer players make a pittance in salary because there's just not that much revenue. The article explained that if women's soccer players were paid just like men, then women would receive something silly like $1500 a year for playing a pro sport, not the millions to which they think they're entitled.
The problem isn't women's soccer salaries - they actually get paid much better than men. It's just no one wants to watch women's soccer.
I smell like dragon's blood and patchouli and wear I hippie sandals and broomstick skirts with lots of ethnic jewelry and crystals. I want to save the earth (which is why I'm anti climate change propaganda.) I have personal friends that live in yurts. I'm currently listening to the Youngbloods. I even have wicker furniture, for heaven's sake. Lesbian? Yes. Pagan? Yes. 100% that I look like a leftist - and I bet a lot of pedes would take me for one if they didn't ask my real politics.
However, I am very proud to MAGA. Why? Because all these things that I love - my freedom to safely hold a public drumming circle, the freedom to speak what I truly believe, and the freedom to choose what I put in my sacred body, among others things - are being threatened by these chucklefucks who call themselves progressives while really being fascists that jack off to pictures of Mao. "Progressive," my left tit. Real progress towards a bright future requires personal freedom because only then can you develop the mix of education, wisdom, and developed inner strength (some may sub in "developed spiritual strength" here - that's cool if you do because I believe in spiritual freedom, unlike the left) that leads to true personal gnosis. The last thing the left wants is for us to truly learn ourselves because then we have no need for the State - much less a soul-crushing, all-encompassing one. There is no other choice except to support Donald Trump. We're at war for our Selves.
The number three represents the coalescing of idea + raw energy into concrete manifestation, given that a triangle is first shape you can draw and it requires three sides (see the "Theology of Arithmetic" by Iamblichus of Chalcis - "The monad is like a seed in containing in itself the unformed and also unarticulated principle of every number; the dyad is a small advance towards number, but is not number outright because it is like a source; but the triad causes the potential of the monad to advance into actuality and extension.")
It's why triangles are drawn in the air during summoning and banishing rituals.
It's a stylistic consideration of the graffiti type. Those rounded uniform letters are characteristic of the bubble graffiti style. Yes, graffiti comes in different styles and schools.
I've seen plenty of graffiti written this way. That round uniform writing forms the base of the bubble graffiti style.
If I remember the story correctly, basically what happened is some cargo ship full of fertilizer being traded by a shady Russian entrepreneur ran into mechanical trouble and wound up docking unexpectedly in Beirut. The shady Russian had bubble money and so the ship couldn't afford repairs, and eventually the ship and cargo both wound up getting seized. They decided to put 2700 TONS of ammonium nitrate fertilizer in a warehouse right on the port of Beirut - an entire cargo ship's worth, after all.
The government of Lebanon is in shambles so to make a long story short the fertilizer got forgotten for a few years, plenty of time to get all oxidized and unstable. Then someone decided to store a shitload of fireworks in the adjacent warehouse. There was a fire in the fireworks warehouse ... right next to 2700 tons of unstable oxidized fertilizer. Whoopsie.
There were something like 200 dead, 6500 wounded, 300 thousand left homeless. I remember that a hospital got destroyed and the international airport, too.
So yeah, small explosion.
The GOP has sent me plenty of letter begging for money...
