wtf is this list, these are absolutely not equal powers. Magic alone accounts for 80% of this list. Magic, Divine Power, Attractive Lady is just the meta choice. Who the hell is gonna take something lame like Stamina or Invisibility when you could use magic powers to make yourself invisible and fly.
Nah dude, you're thinkin of Trevor Moore.
That's the guy who died having anal sex with a horse.
The problem, as I alluded to, is that the Supreme Court is starting to hear the lawsuits filed in response to those policies and is striking them down as unconstitutional. It's quite likely that things like NDAs being unenforceable will also get overturned.
Everything Biden accomplished has either been grossly undermined, hindered, or reversed by the current corrupt Supreme Court. Completely ignoring them for his full four years, especially after Roe V Wade, was pure incompetency. Again, it gives credence to the idea of a controlled opposition. He was allowed to say and do some progressive things, but anything that stepped over the line the Supreme Court would stop. He could have packed the courts, used the big public outcry against the courts legitimacy to pack it with additional judges, and actually make a meaningful change to our country's fate.
Instead, Joe Biden will be remembered as a vain fool who gave the country to fascism. Nothing else he accomplished will matter, if any of it is still left.
Right but take what you just said to it's logical conclusion. Why should only men have those responsibilities? All you've really done is create a different, nicer patriarchy, that still expects men to conform to specific gender roles and still expects women to conform to specific gender roles. Consider the inverse, all the people who physically can't produce more than they require to survive, who need additional attention or care, through no fault of their own. Can those people not be men?
You've described just a generally good person, and realistically you've described more women than you have men. The goal should be to get rid of the idea that certain responsibilities are reserved for certain genders completely.
It's required in any system that uses a fiat currency. Maybe a fiat currency is evil incarnate, but it also offers a lot of conveniences. Personally, I think I'd prefer having some number that translates my labor into spending units, and fiat currency works about as well as anything else when carefully managed.
There's also a part of this that could, if you were naive, be solved with time. My job gave me a solid raise last year, 4.9%. Assuming four years of Harris status quo could get inflation down to ~2.5%, and assuming I can maintain similar raises each year, I'd likely recover from the pandemic within the next four years. Inflation is a necessary evil, but when managed over time, it isn't a big issue. Should work for everyone right, stupid Trumpies just don't understand long-term economics!
Except it ignores that corporations are colluding in duopolies across many industries to steadily raise their prices above inflation to maintain profit growth. It ignores that landlords are treating maximum rent hikes as the expectation rather than the exception. It ignores that climate change is globally impacting our supply lines for food.
Inflation being healthy doesn't mean a damn thing when unchecked capitalism is left rampant. The Biden administration, to their credit, did weakly try to fight corporate interests. However, they did nothing to fight the fully captured Supreme Court, which made Biden's efforts so pitiful they resemble a controlled opposition.
There's a growing contingent of Democrats who are showing very MAGA traits. The types that demand everyone fall in line and vote how they say, without listening to any compromises. The types who believe that the issue is that the Democrats are playing too fairly, and should stoop to the Republicans level. The types who believe that the issue with Kamala Harris is that she was a black woman, and that diversity should have been ignored for a secured political win by running an old white dude. The types that blindly listen and defend media bought and paid for by wealthy capitalists because they think it represents "their side."
Realistically, the only thing stopping these people from being MAGAts is personal life circumstances. Maybe their high school bully was a Republican, or they know just enough economic theory to realize how stupid conservative ideas are, or their grandad worked in a union job. In truth, they are as tribalistic and as ignorant as a Trump supporter; their fervor is just to a D instead of an R.
You're watching the collapse of an empire. The citizens are getting desperate and scared, those of them that don't realize or understand the situation they're in even moreso. What you're seeing isn't driven by malice, it's just too difficult to care for others now. A lotta my friends struggle to pay rent every month and keep food in their mouths. We walk around with the knowledge a stranger could freak out and gun us down at any moment. Is it any wonder that they are numb to violence, numb to threats, even numb to the fear of death?
Once you get that numb and hollow, you cut what's extraneous away and focus on your own survival. Americans are, broadly speaking, panicked animals. The worse things get, the more panicked and desperate they'll become, and the less they'll care about standards and morals in the pursuit of survival.
If I was very desperate and my current job no longer sufficed, sure I'd hop on OnlyFans or FeetFinder and give it a go. The problem I have is more one of laziness. I like showing off my body, and spend a good amount of time cultivating parts like my ass and thighs to look attractive. The limiting factor is that I don't have anyone to hold a camera. It's a lot of fun to model, it's a lot less fun to setup a camera/mic, create a scene, and actually take 30-40 pictures/30 sec vid clips. If I had to do it for survival, I could, but I prefer just sending simple thirst traps to fwb.
The issue is that a lot of companies are being performative in that representation. They'll make a commercial positively representing trans people, and then quietly destroy their DEI initiative and lay-off their trans employees. They'll make a big show of supporting the LGBT community...until it cuts into their profit margins, and then they'll gladly make a show of pandering to fascists. We can't really reward these companies or call them allies when clearly the only thing they actually care about is money. To them, any representation they give is a happy accident on the path to shaking us down.
You're maybe in the vast minority of normies, but I think a lot of gamers have actually realized how lame Skyrim is. There's certainly hours long rants on Youtube breaking down each little issue the game has, as well as examining it from the perspective of modern game design and as a failure of the Elder Scrolls brand, but beyond that; is anyone really holding up vanilla Skyrim as the pinnacle of gaming any more? Even Bethesda realized it needs mods to be enjoyable.
So the joke here isn't sampling, it's the idea of being "featured" on a track. Idk Khaled enough to know if this would be too extreme an example, but imagine a lesser known hiphop artist making nearly 100% of a song. Then Khaled comes in, does a few whoops and hollers, maybe a few bars, but the song ends up on a Khaled album. The lesser known artist is credited as "featured" on the track, even if it was mostly their work.
Feel like this one should have stopped after the first two panels.
I actually hate the idea of using boomer as an insult to people who are just of the right age. To me, you gotta have a certain state of mind and actions to count as a shitty boomer. Just as there's some super cool old hippies out there, there's entitled 30-something Karens out there that need to hear "Ok Boomer."
Right here, happy to tell Joe Biden he's fucking wrong and his party knows it.
Biden's ass got thrown to the curb because even armchair political analysts with access to only public data could read the writing on the wall. He was so unpopular he was effecting donors and down-ballot races.
The only reason Joe doesn't realize he had no chance is because he's so dementia-addled he has forgotten. Kamala Harris running on Joe Biden's platform could not do it, how on earth do you seriously think Joe could?
In what universe? Certainly not the one where all polling data had Trump beating him in a landslide, where Biden was so unpopular that he was going to lose the Dems down-ballot races. Biden seriously thinks that the issue with Kamala Harris is that she was a black woman, instead of realizing the issue is that Kamala said she was going to be 4 more years of Joe Biden politics.
Rest in piss you dementia-addled boomer.
Nearly every incumbent in a Western democracy for the past two years has lost their re-election.
Desperately clinging to out of date concepts in the face of statistics is the reason why you're not a political analyst. The reason Biden stepped down and the reason Trudeau just retired is because polling data made it abundantly clear neither incumbent had a snowball's chance in hell of winning.
Oh don't get me wrong, I know my sizes and have places to shop online. Femboy apparel is also a rapdily growing market, and I try to keep fresh with new sites.
I'm just a weird romantic. I like the nostalgic idea of going to a mall with friends, trying on some clothes, and buying maybe one thing. There's a lot more issues with buying things physically in general now, beyond just my niche. Finding a mall that doesn't scream "beached whale" is tough nowadays, so it's just longing for a simpler time.
I'm also kinda an asshole speaking from a place of privilege, because I live in a place large enough to have a queer district where I can thrift. That's basically Femboy Aeropostale. I just think it would be cool if there was a chain that catered to femme attire for men.
Nah, key difference is that in atompunk, the energy is typically converted into electricity.
A big part of steampunk is the pipes moving steam to the contraptions, compared to wires moving electricity.
