@deprecated_ii Fun fact: traveling by ship has historically been a dangerous prospect.. Which is why many people chose not to. Many people have a hard time fathoming that death is a likely possibility when sailing. And it will be more dangerous when western civilization is collapsing too much to bail anyone out when there is a ship that starts to sink.

@deprecated_ii The USA could be under Russian and Chinese occupation, and these people will still say that "Ukraine is WINNING."

I have to thank places like the fediverse for giving me the correct information, as I know that our libshit media will only lie to me. Because of that, I will not have to wonder how the hell Russia won the war in the end when all reports say how "Ukraine is kicking ass!"

Heard this segment from our state affiliated media. "You better not question the totally free and fair election results when there are more 4:00 am ballot dumps! Saying otherwise means you are a purveyor of MISINFORMATION!"

I would not be shocked if it was the feds themselves creating these threats just so they can justify more crackdowns on anyone who questions our banana republic "democracy."

> IT’S A CONSPIRACY TO SELL BOTTLED WATER

This exact same thing was on that faggot Adam Conover's show. "Just drink when you are thirsty!" Did these people never engage in any sort of rigorous exercise? When I grew up doing plenty of sports and physical activity, "waiting until I was thirsty" would be a sure way to cause dehydration problems.

@dave The problem here is that you can make this claim about any topic of debate in order to justify your unwillingness to debate or defend your ideas. It is really easy just to declare yourself being soooo much more intelligent than your opposition that it makes debate pointless.

Yes, there are dumbasses not worth debating, but there are also midwits who are too full of themselves who think themselves smarter than they are who refuse to do any debate.

@WashedOutGundamPilot >being yourself
>doing whorish motions and eating junk food while "at the gym"

If that is them being "themselves," I am fine not having them at my gym.

@37712 And just how well have things been in Mexico for the people living there?

Cheating can get you ahead briefly, but it is not sustainable personally or society wide.

I think many people who are unable to succeed in the financial realm just assume that everyone who is well off did not earn their way. But for the vast majority of those that are well off and STAY well off are those that did have to work hard.

Just because you were unable to succeed does not mean that everyone else is unable to without cheating.

Sure, there are those that do cheat or get lucky. But does it help to dwell upon that? No matter where you are, you can always improve yourself.

Is is possible he was using steroids? Maybe. But that is not something I need to care about. I am where I am at and am happy to be.

We can extend this thinking to financial status too. Are there trust fund babies that merely rode on the coattails of their parents? Absolutely. But if I live my life in envy of them, I am no better off. I need to look at my own life and determine if I am where I can be regardless of where others are.

Living your life in envy is no way to live if you want to be content. Those that are envious often were not ones that really tried hard to achieve what they think others got without effort.

For example, I saw someone at my gym benching 3 plate. I am barely able to do 2 plate myself, so clearly this guy is stronger than me. Should I be envious? No, because I understand how hard of work I had to do to get where I am, and most likely this guy had to bust his own ass to get to that point.

@deprecated_ii >overwhelmed hospitals with the unvaccinated

Can this meme die already? It was already bullshit in the early days of the coof (as we saw plenty of hospitals where nurses had time to choreograph dance). And it is still a lie too.

@Granwalder Oda himself said he would be Brazilian if he was from our world. So this is actually a fitting casting choice.

@Aether No this is brilliant. You can totally be an "ally" and de-gay your state by disguising your intentions as being helpful to those who you want less of.

Maybe the realtor is not this based, but if he was should his play book be any different?

@ButtWorldsMan @kaiservenom I will remember this if I see any CIA bullshit going on in Kenya. Be it a color revolution, an assassination, or overtly fraudulent election, I am not going to trust that it happened organically. I will know that the Big GAE itself will be causing the fake and gay event.

@furgar And they will conveniently ignore the two-party consent law when it advances leftist causes. I recall someone recorded oil businessmen at a restaurant and they justified allowing the recording because "it was in public."

When laws are selectively enforced, it means you live under tyranny.

@WashedOutGundamPilot The barrier for starting a business in these libshit cities is indeed too high, so I do not blame her for struggling with that.

However, I am going to take a guess that she votes and will continue to vote for the exact same politicians that created all these bullshit rules and will continue to vote for them without any awareness that they are causing those problems she is struggling against. So I am less sympathetic after that consideration.

Apparently Blinken makes a point to always shove LGBT shit in his foreign policy discussions with other countries. Not an expert on China, but I doubt they are going to be big fans of homosexuality when they are wanting to solve their own birth rate issues.

Even if he leaves out the gay crap, I think China is going to be no happier with the US after these discussions. Even the mainstream press is not optimistic.
