Big if true

It’s not about the lifts.
It was never about the lifts.
It’s about masculine insecurity and the deceit that surrounds it.

One end of the political spectrum doesn’t care to understand climate change, healthcare, guns, income inequality, or a billionaire tax, so if we want to engage on those topics one side is left yelling into the void.

However, if there is one thing the right does understand, it is masculine insecurity and deceit. So we get to talk about that.

I’ve been having a hard time knowing how to feel about Amy Schumer and I thought to myself, “I wonder what pwalshj thinks.”

Sound pretty clear to me. And if you include the context of each sentence, before and after, I don’t see how much clearer it could get.

He said that the UN had failed to prevent previous genocides against the Tutsis in Rwanda, Muslims in Bosnia, the Yazidi in Iraqi Kurdistan and the Rohingya in Myanmar and wrote: “High Commissioner we are failing again.

“The current wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people, rooted in an ethno-nationalist colonial settler ideology, in continuation of decades of their systematic persecution and purging, based entirely upon their status as Arabs … leaves no room for doubt.”

Mokhiber added: “This is text book case of genocide” and said the US, UK and much of Europe were not only “refusing to meet their treaty obligations” under the Geneva Conventions but were also arming Israel’s assault and providing political and diplomatic cover for it.

This has to be satire. Right?

I think you misunderstand what the constitution does and doesn’t do. It defines the structure, powers and limits of the Government.

The clause means that the Government cannot instate a religious test on candidates for office. It does not dictate how individuals are allowed to decide which of those candidates they vote for.

Garak is a simple tailor. He resolves an impossible situation in the least tailorly way possible yet somehow maintains plausible deniability.

He burned 22 billion because he was forced to after being a doofus. He is not destroying microblogging, he is destroying the environment around microblogging on his platform. It is his new toy that was never worth what he paid for it, so there is little point (to him) in trying to recoup monetary value. It’s value is to him is being his personal playground.

Even if it is not clickable some folks copy/paste, and you can long press a url in iOS. The “L” in apple could be masked with an “i” but Apple should have bought that domain already. There was just a big phishing attack the other day where someone used an lookalike character that some browsers didn’t filter out.
