YSK call your house rep. They’re more likely to answer. Also call your state reps first. Most issues are handled on a state level, not federal, and state house reps tend to be the most accessible.

Never heard of beggars night. People seem to find Halloween a satisfactory name where I’ve been.

Where I’m from Halloween you go around and ask for candy, the historical implication being you’d vandalize the property of or otherwise harass in costume anyone who refused. Which followed Cabbage Night, where you would TP people’s houses under the cover of darkness.

Shit take that the judges must be bribed because politicians have enacted unpopular laws. The problem is the legislature here.

The friend of certainty is time. One day perhaps then we won’t even call ourselves Americans. I doubt the 1860s will happen again anytime soon. Maybe something closer in scale to Blair Mountain.

Look to history. We’ve had two. Look at the words explaining the necessity of independence in the declaration of independence. Those were not hollow words but detailed a long series of abuses. Then look to the causes of the Civil War. A perfidious institution anathematic to the very core ideal of the nation, that all men are created equal.

Our times doubtless have our problems but the do not meet nearly the standard set in the past.

Also snopes on the bleach thing:

During an April 2020 media briefing, Trump did ask members of the government’s coronavirus task force to look into whether disinfectants could be injected inside people to treat COVID-19. But when a reporter asked in a follow-up question whether cleaning products like bleach and isopropyl alcohol would be injected into a person, the then-president said those products would be used for sterilizing an area, not for injections.

Did you seriously ask if the truth matters? Of course it does critiquing Trump for random fake BS only devalues meritorious critiques.

PolyMatter put out a video on China’s goal oriented social-political structure 2 years ago that I think will help understand the pace.

1. You aren’t allowed to / really shouldn’t be say it if you aren’t Black.

2. Presumably under this notion someone anonymous who says it should be abiding that cultural norm.

3. Meaning that if an anonymous person is saying it and you expect them to abide that norm it’d be reasonable to assume they’re Black.

I’ve watched a few of his videos and they’ve all been very interesting. I’d recommend some of his coverage on Native American/Indian issues.

He also did good job showing the border situation from the lenses of people from every side of it (migrants, cartel coyotes, local sheriffs, & cities hosting the migrants). It highlights how dogmatism of politicians is hurting ordinary people.

Kinda like that time the king of England took away Massachusetts’ legislatures. But I have a feeling the king here will fair better this go around.

Big win for consumers, at least in the US. People tend to do better in courts here than they do in arbitration (where one side pays the judge(arbitrator)).

People don’t like when you punch down. When a 13 year old illegally downloaded a Limp Bizkit album no one cared. When corporations worth billions funded by venture capital systematically harvest the work of small creators (often with appropriate license) to sell a product people tend to care.

You did

The red symbolizes Steam.

If you’ve heard the term ‘high explosives’ that refers to thoses that are supersonic while ‘low explosives’ are subsonic.

Didn’t realize I was on .ml till I saw this

That is patently not what I was arguing. If they don’t raise the price past $60 they’ll just be incentivized to get it through predatory micro transactions.

And by arguing a business practice is unsustainable I’m not saying that entire industry pays employees in an equitable way.

Continent are fairly subjective. Some favor strictly connected lands (joining Eurasia). Others do it by the tectonic plates. Other by culture barriers drawing a line between Europe and Asia.

For the purposes of the post I simply meant to convey that the NA v SA distinction is widely accepted to be at the thinnest point between them. Which would include Central America w/ NA.

If she marched for the cause of BLM adding another person from that group wouldn’t add a novel view point if that is already one of her own. As for the other groups you mentioned I think that they would be good additions. A homogeneous cabinet is pointless.
