FUCK. I fail as a trekker. :(
Yes, they can call him back.
I would also like to remind everyone that the Chief of Police testified that they weren't trained to kneel on the neck, but on the back and shoulders.
... They actually done fucked themselves.
They reused actors all the time.
Neelix played two different Ferengi, on TNG and Enterprise. He also was in one of the movies as a hologram, but it was just a cameo. Kurn, Worf's brother, was a Hirogen on Voyager as well as Sisko's dad.
Sci fi acting used to be a small world: no accolades and little money. Just a bunch of nerds who would often become friends. It's why you often see the same faces again and again in the genre prior to it being really mainstreamed and monetized around 2000.
Isn't it interesting that Communists are always demanding that random citizens "prove" their charges of corruption and wrongdoing of Communist countries, and never seem to bother trying proving their own upstanding nature? Yet, strangely, this isn't operative when talking about anyone else: you don't hear them demanding this "proof" from BLM, yet they happily quote their grievances regardless of the released information.
Also, just fyi: as far as I know, no Eastern Asian judicial system (including the free ones) actually operate under a "innocent until proven guilty" standard. This one is actually a pretty Western-specific construct, and one that seems pretty misunderstood outside of that environment.
They are literally demanding their government get a Western privilege that doesn't apply to governments and that they won't even give their own citizens who actually deserve it.
They don't actually believe in this standard, they just know you do and want you to apply it to them because it's convenient.
No virus is able to order restaurants to have lower capacity, to dictate what goods we can buy or where, to make us endanger our own elderly for political gain, to close our parks and monuments in fear, or force people to take up the banner of totalitarianism.
COVID19 is a virus of peace. It did none of this.
Sorry you had to find out this way, friend.
If you mean openly Conservative with a capital C, then none that I'm aware. If you mean just not leftist, then oh hell yeah: there are hundreds.
In general, just keep away from the national banks that are propped up by multinational corporations and government largess, and you'll be good. If my bank tried this type of thing, they'd find that about a third of their customers would be gone the next day and no one would give a shit: no government comes running to print more money for them, and no liberal business would be there to make up for the loss of the gun shops. So they just don't even go down this road.
... I mean, not to disagree but...
Those are all male.
The Q in LGBTQ is "questioning." I identify as that one now: I'm "questioning." My core identity is asking questions about everything, all the time.
So I'm now LGBTQ, and "questioning" is my truth. Denying my "questioning" identity is right wing fascism and basically a crime against humanity. Therefore, this is bigoted speech that should be shut down.
Checkmate, libtards.
This was the tactic with Maxine Waters (from both Democrats and Republicans). Who cares? She's just a random low IQ race baiter from a shit hole district.
Then 30 years passed of people not caring. Now, she is a Senior Representative who leads committees and controls hearings.
Oh, and by the way, Democrats will not give you this same concession: if the Republicans have one weird Rep from some random middle-of-nowhere district for a single term, Democrats act like they represent the entire party and expect every Republican to be able to answer for any misquote from the NYT.
This is bullshit, and so is Tucker.
... The chickenpox vaccine wasn't invented until the 80's. It wasn't approved for use in the US until the mid 90's.
I don't think you can explain much to someone who is either just blatantly lying or has actually lost their mind.
........ Well holy fucking shit. I had no idea Triptree was a woman. There you go: now I don't dislike all female sci fi writers. HURRAY! (seriously, spent years looking for one... but I gotta say she writes like a dude, I fucking love it)
Never read LeGuin, will check out.
Just saying "oh this takes place in space" in the prologue of a book about dragons isn't enough to qualify something as sci fi. (lookin' at you, Anne McCaffrey...)
In case you hadn’t noticed, we have a misinformation problem in this country. Now you’re part of it. Why should anyone trust you again?
... I mean, this fucking close to self awareness, yet so very far away.
And there was a bad made-for-tv movie made about it a few years later that won all sorts of awards that no one cared about. No one watched it except me, I guess. Probably because it was based on such a shitty book. (Seriously, wtf is it with female "sci-fi" writers, that so few of them actually write sci-fi but instead do this weird lame fantasy shit cloaked in futuristic overtones? Do vaginas get in the way of good sci-fi or something?)
Worth noting, I watched that shit movie because my mom is a feminist and it was her way of teaching me about the horrors of pseudo-religious revolutions and how important it was for women to keep their right to show their glory--their face and hair--regardless of what the government or people around them said.
She now won't hang out with me, because I'm not going to hide my face in public. Life comes at you so fast.
Well, for tiny yet important symbolic moves, one of Trump's first salary donations was to the National Parks. Because it was outside of their usual maintenance budget, that money was available to straight up improve our parks. I don't know why, but that one really got me. It just... Meant so much, with so little effort, to actually invest in America's wilds. Fucking Teddy Roosevelt level cool, if you ask me.
On a more global scale, "domestic energy" actually translates to clean American fuel. Most of the oil producing countries don't exactly have good environmental or safety standards, and are often in war zones that risk catastrophic disaster at the wells. So this one was a bit more of a "long term" type of change that we aren't really going to get to see the impacts of now, and I tend to be a bit "America first" so it's far less important to me really, but if you care about conservation world wide this one was yuuuuuuuuge. American oil is just cleaner and better for the world.
This also brings up war: the US military is a big polluter globally. Also, bombs aren't great for wildlife. lol. Shifting to drone operations of singular high-value targets and winding down invasion forces is of course going to lead to less pollution and destruction of ecosystems. Us continuing to bomb Afghanistan is bad for the Afghan wilderness.
Getting back to the domestic, that clean American fuel is natural gas. Because we opened up domestic production of natural gas, the price fell dramatically. Natural gas is the cleanest fuel we have. Wanna know how we managed to drop emissions while not in a recession? This, right here. People who only a few years prior had been running wood burning stoves (thanks hippies) could turn their furnace back on, and that's actually great for the environment.
He also did a series of EO's around the Endangered Species Act. There are issues with the various organizations under the Act all interpreting the statute differently; some of them treating "climate change" as their primary mandate, while others treat animals listed as "threatened" the same as animals listed as "endangered" (which made it harder to even get some animals listed because stuff gets serious when a species is tagged endangered), and some even were listing areas as "critical habitats" even though nothing about the location indicated as such including whether the animal even lives there. I love the ESA, but there's a real problem here: of all the species listed under the act since it was written, only 3% have ever been recovered. The EO's force the Act to be taken more seriously and the feds to stick to its mandates--instead of weird politically motivated maneuvers.
... I'm a bit of a fan of Trump, if you can't tell. Sorry for the long ass rant.
Generally, I'd be right there with you. An old Italian guy kissing a few cheeks inappropriately isn't fucking traumatic, and any "strong and brave" woman should be able to swat him away or just roll her eyes and move on.
However, Governor Cuomo literally signed the law that criminalized this type of behavior in the workplace. NY praised him at the time.
So... Oh no. That sucks. Guess he's a rapist or whatever.
If you ever get a minute, check out Masters of Deceit by J Edgar Hoover. In fact... https://archive.org/details/MastersOfDeceit/mode/2up Available online for free.
The scariest part is it was published in 1958 about stuff Hoover had learned throughout the 40's and 50's.
ComIntern never went away.
They actually dumped the real environmentalists, kinda like they dumped the legit anti-war crowd. The Keystone crap ended up with the serious people being thrown out of their own organizations: we were told that we were "hijacking" the movement by suggesting our local organizations probably should focus on local issues instead of pumping Buffet's stock.
And, much like with the anti-war crowd, there was this crazy orange guy who came through and actually did the things they kept promising.
Forcing the EPA to actually go back to its original mandate of cleaning up superfund sites for the first time in years instead of harassing little old farmers about their ponds was huge. Hell--the America First trade deals were forcing companies back to the US, resulting in older factories getting bought and retrofitted, which ended up resulting in a measurable water quality difference where I live.
... So, TLDR: there is no more "environmentalist left" as they've been taken over by watermelons, and the real environmentalists are here and we kinda prefer "conservationist" now to denote the separation from our former peers.
Another woman has come forward accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of sexual misconduct, claiming he kissed her on both cheeks "aggressively and in a sexual manner" while he was touring her home after it was flooded in 2017.
You know, if Cuomo himself hadn't signed the law that criminalized this type of behavior, I might point out that an old guy with Italian heritage kissing a lady on her cheeks isn't exactly traumatic and that any reasonably "strong and independent" woman should be able to either bat him away or roll her eyes and move on with life--certainly not wait 4 years for convenient timing politically to tell the "lurid tale."
... But as it is... Well, he clearly violated the law, so... Have fun with that, Governor.
(Ignore that bullshit troll--his comments are always like this.)
Back to the subject at hand, perhaps there is a way to get in an "I told you so," in a very roundabout way that won't cause distress.
If they can't find an actual reason for this, and point out that we are supposed to report any possible adverse reactions to the FDA. Regardless of what anyone thinks about any given drug, you should tell the people in charge of cataloguing this type of thing when it might have happened: they can sort it out from there, but they will not know if no one reports things. (This voluntary reporting system is bullshit and stupid, but here you can use it to your favor to broach the topic while couching it as "for public safety" and "what the authorities told us to do.")
Yes, that one happened. The press lauded him for his amazing diplomatic skills at the time. This was after they had already taken Austria. Bear in mind, at the time Hitler was screaming about the "plight" of the ethnic Germans in these areas, and how terribly oppressed they were. A lot more people bought it than were willing to admit afterwards. Chamberlain is remembered poorly for a reason--the man was a retarded soy-infused cuck who straight up ignored all sorts of stuff because muh optics. He thought he was able to have his cake (being a peacemaker) and eat it too (actually enforcing peace). In the end, he got nothing.
Regarding your second point: Yeah, that's what happens with appeasement. Like Chamberlain, if the mods had just put their foot down and said, "no, you have to follow the same rules as everyone else," and actually followed up on that, then maybe they wouldn't have taken over so much of the site. They wanted to have their cake (having rules that keep the site somewhat respectable) and eat it too (being an actual platform that endorses free speech).
Wonder how it'll work out...
No, I think those half dozen videos of .001% of a city's population that are put on repeat to sell the line are what they are. Hell--my own tiny district's polls look like that right when they open. About an hour later, it's down to a couple waiting in line.
To be clear, I'm not arguing that ideologically they don't align with Democrat causes (although I suspect most black people of any ideology would be pissed to find out why white liberals think the racial disparities in abortion are the one good racial disparity...). Nor am I even arguing that no one in a city votes, because obviously tens of thousands of residents in these cities vote. You can just go ask them: don't have to wait for a CNN video of them waiting in line or whatever.
Hello Ruby Freeman? Hello detroit ballot counters? Philly?
An election official injecting fake votes, counting of unverified votes by election officials, and a city that votes 110% Democrat respectively doesn't really work for evidence that the votes are legitimately cast by inner city residents.
I'm saying that the overwhelming number of votes are fraudulent, as is evidenced literally by the evidence you cited.
No, I'm saying that the inner city blacks overwhelmingly don't vote, ideological affinity aside.
That's why Democrats are so into lowering the voting requirements: if the inner city blacks were already actually voting with all these restrictions in place then there would be no issue. Except, I don't know if you've noticed, supposedly they already do. Sometimes at 150% of voting population, and every single vote for the Democrat. So, you know, kind of a weird flex to try to change these requirements if you don't think too hard about it...
This is where it gets spicy. There's been a big development no one wants to talk about for some reason, on both sides: Republicans can now investigate elections. They literally weren't legally allowed to do so, singularly and exclusively, for 30 years--while Democrats could do whatever they wanted. It be raycis yo. (Not even kidding: that was legitimately the reason given by the judge who decided that sham.)
... Do you see why the sudden rush and freak out now?
They are not a "mono voting block." They are a "non-voting block."
I'm glad people here are finally getting it. The black vote is already cast, by the people controlling the elections in the inner cities.
The pandering to blacks is in reality pandering to liberal white women in suburbs.
He banned privately owned gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates. He could not ban artistic gold or geological samplings of gold. You could still have a gold nugget or a gold chain.
Which is still gold. Suck it, FDR.
(On a more serious note, if you are legitimately holding physical gold in case of a serious crisis--like another FDR--I would actually suggest holding a bit in this type of easily recognizable, easily transportable, and hard to ban form. Jewelry is great for this. Also, of all the various forms of gold to invest in, your wife will bitch the least about this one.)
