Counterpoint: The opinions of people that know about Durandal don’t matter to the people whose opinions matter about article headlines.

Yeah I was expecting Legal Eagle to put out a video outlining what a President can and can’t be prosecuted for. Instead it was “we’re fucked.”

And cocaine… in fact forget about the potatoes, beans, and apples.

Of course it’s not a certainty but there is a significant probability. And that probability increased with the supreme court ruling granting blanket immunity.

Trump is a criminal, and SCOTUS just declared that nothing he does is a crime if he’s President. There are many scenarios where things get violent, he orders the military to do crazy shit and part of the military wants to follow his order while another part refuses.

I saw an article about them attacking Lebanon now.

Hezbollah, not Lebanon. Please don’t legitimize terrorist groups by considering them to be the government of the country they operate in. Lebanon has elections, please support democracy and it’s not consider Hezbollah as Lebanon’s government, even if those psychopaths have control over a significant portion of the country.

That being said, Nasrallah is probably under significant pressure to do something to help Hamas in some way. Last week he put out some threats against Israel. Israel put out counter threats. In all likelihood that’s where things will stay, neither side wants a war with the other.

The media is always saying a war is imminent. Remember when they were claiming China was going to invade Taiwan any minute? There’s probably some outlets that’re still are saying that sometimes. It gets clicks, views, and ratings.

Who knows they might be right this time (a stopped clock is right twice a day) but it seems doubtful.

So, where will it stop?

In terms of Gaza, Hamas is still holding Israeli hostages. It’s not going to stop as long as Hamas is holding Israelis hostage.

Hamas is likely making a lot of money from the suffering of Palestinians. So they don’t have much incentive to release the hostage and put an end to the conflict.

So it will continue on as the IDF goes house to house trying to find the people that Hamas took on October 7.

Eventually either the IDF will find all of the hostages or Hamas will release them. Then it will end.

Wow you went in deep down the rabbit hole there.

What about Brawndo? It’s got electrolytes!

There’s nothing wrong with fried chicken. There’s nothing wrong with watermelon.

But if you’re trying to think of menu options for an event associated with black history and you just shrug and think “I dunno, black people like fried chicken and watermelon, so lets do that” you’re being so lazy you’d be better off doing nothing at all. I literally typed “black history food” into a search and got many pages with lists of options. So by serving fried chicken and watermelon it’s a statement “I don’t give a fuck about black people but since I’m obligated to serve some kind of food option I’m just going to stick with lazy stereotypes.”

It wold be preferable to do nothing and be honest about not caring than it is to offer a stereotype and then cry crocodile tears because people aren’t recognizing the token effort that was made.

The fur covers their ears to prevent the screams of the people they’re mauling from damaging their eardrums.

Earthling if you’re an alien with bigger guns than us.

Terran if we got bigger guns than you.

Earther if you’re a racist alien.

Hooman if you’re an alien that wants to rip us off in trade.

Yeah I think if it ends in land it’ll probably be a lander.

Also resolve the confusion around the “dutch angle” in film… it was actually a thing that was started in Germany.

Yeah pretty much. You can’t copyright gameplay mechanics, so there’s nothing illegal about it. It’s just a dick move.

Shit… I need change my plans about using campaign donations to pay off that porn star I banged at the golf course I own.

Yeah so direct democracy can work for a town. And that works great until one eyed Phil (who runs a country made up of many towns) comes around and has a bigger army than your little town could put together. You can all meet in your town hall and debate about what to do about old one eyed Phil and his army, for all the good it’ll do ya.

Edumication thing indeed.

So is this what libertarians think is a good idea nowadays?

Network effect. People can’t leave because the people they like to talk with are they and those people can’t leave for the same reason.

hy, don’t qustion th will of th grat Lon Musk!

Unfortunately there’s these kinds of assholes in every country.

WHUT

Give a discount on food purchases so long as people agree to having every purchase tracked abd their data sold to marketing companies so they can figure out how to manipulate people into buying more shit they don’t need.

People’s food purchases are already scanned in before they buy them, so all that’s needed is to get people to scan in some kind of card to connect their purchases to their identity. A small discount can be offered so people will fill out a form connecting their identity to the card and then every time they scan the card with their purchases we can track everything they buy forever.

Oh wait, that’s actually already commonplace.,
