@MeBigbrain @jb no one, because the Redditor is fishing for a rationalization to explain away the fact that there is some fraudulence taking place. And if you are so hyped up about a movie that you would reserve tickets a year in advance, you would not just "forget about it."

@sickburnbro Moana is only 10 years old, ffs. There is no "fresh take" to be had with a live action version. Most of the live action movies have been shameless intellectually lazy cash grabs, but they at least can claim "It has been a long time, let's introduce a new version to a new generation!"

Back to the left, I understand that there are factions who despise the establishment Democrats because they think they don't go far enough left or simply think they are just right-wing lite. Funny how that happens for many on the right with Republicans doing the inverse of that.

I just want to know how much awareness others have, regardless of their politics. Having awareness will at least tell me if you do any thinking, even if I see your thinking as moronic.

I myself would not consider myself gleeful at his death, but I am also not sad about it either. I despise the world police foreign policy for the United States, and Donald Trump doing the bidding of Israel in his waste of an effort in Iran is unhelpful in almost every way for anyone here on the right (save for maybe the quicker trajectory of collapse by those in the accelerationist camp). So one less supporter of that policy is for the better.

I would not be shocked if many on the left are gleeful about the death of Lindsey Graham. But I have to wonder how many of these same people are aware of many on the right who also are gleeful about his death. The reasons for each would differ wildly, but it serves as a test for the left if they can understand that the right is just as fractured and cobbled together as the left is and that not every right winger is all about supporting spending trillions on foreign wars.

@ForbiddenDreamer @Shadowman311 Besides, individual states don't pay taxes, the people living in them do. And there are a number of factors from state to state that affect this metric. I mentioned farm subsidies, but also places with more federal government agencies (or more per capita), military bases, Native American reservations, and any other federal spending that would be marked as going "to the state."

@ForbiddenDreamer @Shadowman311 a better test of dependency is to see who cracks first from pressure when all spending is taken away. While everyone would take a hit in some way, those who are most dependent would suffer hardest. I am willing to bet most leftists would not be in favor of seeing this challenge through, since it would expose the "muh dependent red states" as the farce it is.

@ForbiddenDreamer @Shadowman311 while you correctly understand who gets welfare in red states, the people talking about "Red states receiving more than they pay in" assume that their contrived metrics provides the actual issues of "depencency" by the states. While I despise farm subsidies, a lot of the "dependency" is in this form, and taking this money away would likely cause a spike in food prices. Guess who would suffer harder from that? Not the Republican voting whites these leftists hate.

@sickburnbro this is the equivalent of how many in Gen Z talk about "manifesting" what they want, as if wishing for it will make it so. Meanwhile, immigrants from 3rd world countries come for economic reasons, and a big part of those economic incentives are welfare. It should be no surprise they will vote for the more welfare party.

@Heil_Honkler kind of already been in HxH, since Alluka (Killua's younger "sister") is a boy that claims to be a girl. And Kalluto is basically a cross dresser, given his clothing.

Pretty sure I read somewhere Togashi has some cross-dressing character in a manga that never picked up much traction, but I have not found that source to verify that just yet.

@TeaTootler >doing the job 2 men failed at

And she failed twice to not end up pregnant by men who were not willing to commit to her. This is why waiting until marriage for sex was such a necessary standard in history. A lot of people seem to think that centuries of wisdom from their ancestors is backwards because they think they can live hedonistically without consequences. But consequences, they are most certainly here.
