@ButtWorldsMan I see this as a possible ploy to try and dampen Trump's popularity, as I suspect they expect these rulings to be overturned. Meanwhile, they can use the "If a judge and several lawsuits said he was dangerous, it means he is!"

I don't know if that is the plan or if it is a good one, but this does not demonstrate that they see themselves able to stand on their own competence.

@Aether And while he may not be someone who should have marriage, I cannot blame him for looking at things as he does with our current system. Get government out of marriage entirely (or at least the bullshit divorce laws) and you can have marriage working as intended.

Ideally, you would trust the woman you want to marry. But there is no reason to give her a "get out of marriage with cash and prizes button" in the first place.

@Aether >has 100k in student loans

She is already a bad prospect because of this. A woman who takes on a ton of debt and is unable to pay it off is simply a liability in not just her debt, but her financial choices. That kind of debt is no accident. She either went to a way too expensive school and/or took out the max loans while refusing to work while doing college. And probably for some meme degree too.

The "debt-free" part of the "debt-free virgins without tattoos," very important.

@Shadowman311 This is why there was so much emphasis on women marrying early so that they would not become "Old Maids." When you ask normies today if Old Maids still are still in our society today, they will probably answer, "Of course not!" But still we see the same thing with women not marrying when they have the best chance of securing a husband, only to find out later that they did not have "all the time in the world."

@Gerfand I don't need to be a Michelin Star Chef to know if my steak is burnt to a char and if my "baked potato" is still hard as an apple. I can tell that the food was not well prepared and is not how it was meant to be.

And I can tell when some faggot is taking way too many creative liberties with translations to know if they are not doing their job properly.

@Humpleupagus @moffintosh @Xenophon @MasterSimper >Everyone's a communist until they have to pay to keep the business running.

Far too many communists just assume businesses are automatically profitable and constantly flush with excess money like Scrooge McDuck. But that is to be expected when most communists are just envious rather than truly principled.

Merry Christmas everyone!

@Jim Christmas is not about snow. It is about the birth of Jesus. Don't let the song White Christmas fool you into thinking otherwise.

Pay inside or pre pay only at your gas station. This is a great signal for the amount of trust/criminality in a given area.

Recently, a gas station I regularly use that had a pay inside option no longer does that. It makes me wonder if there were too many incidents of theft or if they just want to be proactive. Either way, there is less trust.

Trust itself is an invaluable thing to have. Not having it is a sign of bad times ahead. And no amount of money makes up for a lost in trust.

Businesses and people were not going through all sorts of stupid bullshit because of "the virus." Not when some of the most laughable policies were put in place, such as having tents out in the middle of winter at restaurants so that they could do "outdoor seating" to comply with completely unnecessary rules. Let us not forget how many businesses were fined or facing other penalties because they dared not accept the hysteria that every libshit had during "the pandemic."

I am so sick of still hearing how "Covid shut everything down" in 2020. No, it was not "the virus" that did it. It was governments doing it. And considering how much they lied about the supposed death numbers (dying "with Covid" is considered a "Covid death" even if the death was obviously not due to that) and many other things, it is quite clear that so many supposed issues were indeed avoidable. They merely wanted you to not rightfully blame them for screwing everyone over.

@Twoinchdestroya @Jim @RealRaul They were in an "open marriage" so you can assume that the number is as high as she wanted it to be. Which is probably very, very high.

@Zeb This is just about Christian denominations. Muslims are a whole different topic, though I would guess they are growing in numbers in the UK. And my guess is that they are less accepting of any changes in their teachings and practices than most other Christian denominations.
