That’s why, even though he was in the middle of an assassination attempt, he demanded to put his shoes back on before standing back up.

The desperate need to try to wave away any possible negative effects from social media by people heavily dependent on social media comes as no surprise. It’s like trying to criticize fast food to a fat person.

Some will acknowledge it’s bad for them and eat it anyway, but most will just get extremely defensive about it and try to rationalize or downvote. It has vitamins! If you only eat the unfried vegetables and only drink water, it’s actually good for you!

I’m fully confident that Republicans in Florida would support this idea. I think they’d literally be willing to die to make Biden look bad. Fucked up world.

$100-1000 watches are not being flashy with their money. Almost everyone I see with a watch has a watch in that range. Flashy watches are usually 2K absolute minimum. Apple watches are like 300-700 and they’re everywhere.

I had a friend who was REALLY into watches. He had a 7K watch he loved to show off, and he would research watches literally every day and knew tons about them. Walking around with him was wild because we would walk by some random dude in a tshirt and he would suddenly lean over and whisper “he’s wearing a Goobly-Gluk Goober FX367, that’s a 25K watch!”

Really expensive watches often don’t look it. Look up a Patek Phillipe Nautilus. 1.5M. Looks (to me) like a casio or something.

I don’t care about watches at all.

My neighbor bought a new 64K truck (I know because he constantly mentions the cost) had a lift kit installed for 15K (I know because he constantly mentions the cost) has four kids who are bullies (I know because I see and hear them), and constantly complains about gas prices and property taxes, despite the fact that he is one of two houses in the neighborhood with kids.

Most of property taxes go to fund the public schools, which his children attend. Basically the neighborhood is subsidizing his children’s education, but he thinks he deserves to pay less in taxes. I explained this, and he told me I was full of shit, but I think he knew I was right, because he started revving his engine early in the morning the day after that and did it for like two weeks.

Hilariously, he stopped doing it not because I complained – I’m up early anyway – but because his wife came out in pajamas and started screaming at him for waking her up. Quite the metaphor for Republicanism.

I gotta get out of this neighborhood.

Here’s the thing: I think the Republicans are going to try to human sacrifice in Florida for votes.

They’re already spinning the FEMA funding issue as being because FEMA “spent all their money on immigrants,” and another devastating hurricane where FEMA can’t help as effectively would allow them to run with the idea they’re already currently (ineffectively) trying to push, which is that FEMA isn’t helping.

They’re already saying they won’t vote for additional FEMA funding due to the bullshit “immigrants” thing. So they’re going to try to flat-foot FEMA, hope for a horrifying national disaster, blame FEMA for letting people die while spending money on immigrants, and then attempt to pin it on (Biden) Harris.

They’re trying to position themselves so they can let people die in order to win an election. And it’s very possible it will work.

How many more are predicted this season? I thought I read they feel it’s probable at least another hurricane will hit the US this season. Isn’t that why FEMA is freaking out because they don’t have the money/resources to handle another?

Mukdekeks.

That’s probably literally why they assassinated him

Ok but he did kinda go for it

Where in the United States was blackface OK in the 90s and 2000s? That kinds of photos seem to turn up pretty regularly.

I thought that too, but upon closer examination it looks like dry wall.

The real question to me is why would you texture drywall to look like concrete.

You are awesome. Can’t believe someone picked up that reference.

The trace buster buster BUSTER!

Everyone is doing it. What are you even talking about. You can’t unfuck the chicken.

It’s just basic economics. The amount of power and influence you can generate with a disinformation troll farm dramatically outweighs the cost. It’s a high impact, low cost form of geopolitical influence. And it works incredibly well.

Lol

"Once defectors make it to South Korea, often after a perilous journey across multiple countries, they go through interrogation by the government intelligence agency. Then they are sent to the main Hanawon complex in Anseong, 40 miles southeast of Seoul, to prepare for their new lives in the South.

The facility offers medical and psychiatric care. It teaches defectors about South Korean society and gender equality, and provides occupational training and counseling for skills including cooking, baking, nail art, skin care, clothes-making and mending, and long-term caregiving.

After completing the three-month program, defectors receive subsidies and housing benefits, as well as continued support from local centers to help them assimilate during their early years living in South Korea."

Doesn’t sound like they treat them like shit. Sounds like they actually have a very efficient and well-funded system to welcome and integrate defectors.

Are you yourself working for North Korea or something? “OMG yeah North Korea so great, they treat you like shit in South Korea, definitely don’t go there, the music is also bad.”

What’s going on in South Korea where someone in their 30s tried to get back to literally North Korea rather than stay? I know KPop is annoying, but cmon.
