It's a far right conspiracy theory, that OP's trying to tie to legit criticism of the CIA's atrocities despite having nothing to do with each other-- all in order to try to hide the fact that it's literally part of the Great Replacement conspiracy.

Yeah, there's precisely zero chance this doesn't blow the fuck up in El Salvador's face in the long run. Not to mention it's horrific on every possible level.

Hope to god El Salvador manages to figure out a way to get rid of this guy, and fast. Otherwise they're in for a very bad few decades.

I know it's confusing because so many of the main characters are humans, but Star Wars actually doesn't take place on Earth-- it's set in a galaxy far, far away. So unfortunately, you're going to have to travel a few hundred million light years to make it to the heart of the Empire. But the good news is Coruscant is an absolutely lovely city, with tons of fun stuff to do!

Because if everyone involved is quitting their jobs, they'll have no money with which to buy food. Which means they'll have to farm it themselves. And farming, even with top-of-the-line modern tech, is backbreaking fucking work. Also unpredictable as hell: bad harvests aren't uncommon, especially for novice farmers with no formal training like these guys would be.

In other words, one bad harvest, and everyone in the system you're proposing fucking dies. Yeah, there's a reason in the 1800s people were abandoning their family farms for the horrorshow of Victorian era-factories en masse: because even that hell was still preferable to farming.

I'm truly sorry to hear you're not having a good time here. Good news is, there's a big old world out there, with plenty of countries to explore! I sincerely hope one day you'll be able to find a country where you'll be just as happy as I am in the US. :)

Yep, so many times Americans online say "the rest of the world" when what they actually mean is "Western and Northern Europe". It's so frustrating, and like you said more than a touch racist (usually unintentionally so, but that doesn't make it any less shitty).

And what of the many atrocities committed by humanity?

Seriously, how is this bullshit defending fascist traitors who attempted a coup getting upvotes?

I can be proud to be American and a human at the same time. Saying "I love my family" doesn't mean I don't love other people too, and it doesn't mean I think my family is somehow better than other human beings, it just means I love my family. Same logic applies here.

ACA was a bunch of half-assed bullshit.

Tell me you weren't paying attention to US politics in 2008-2010 (which were the two fucking years of nonstop backbreaking fucking effort it got the ACA to be passed) without telling me you weren't paying attention.

Yeah, assuming her feet don't smell I'd have no issue with her cutting her nails on the train-- if she was catching them with a plastic tray, baggie or even a napkin so they don't fall on the seat someone else is about to sit down on. But she's not doing that, which is gross and disrespectful to your fellow passengers, IMO.

A lot of those 17 are dictatorships, where the elites are unsurprisingly big fans of Russia / Wagner helping them prop up their regimes. Actual normal people in those countries tend to be significantly more anti-Russia.

 

Personally, I'm most excited to meet Fifteen. Every promo pic of him makes him look cooler than the one before. (If absolutely nothing else, he has fantastic fashion sense-- guess the reason all the other Doctors were so fashion-oblivious was because he was hogging it all for himself, lol.)

 

This is the first time in years I've had trouble logging off of social media not because I'm too addicted to stop, but because I'm genuinely having fun. I'd almost forgotten what that felt like.

Does anyone know how you go about making a new post in a magazine here on kbin? (Sorry for the dumb noob question, mods, please move / delete this if this isn't the right place for this!)
