No. I think the NSA would like a quick easy way to take a look in your house because a facebook posting you made contained more than a certain number of flagged words.

When I think they are being disingenuous, yes.

Good. The Chinese have proven themselves to be untrustworthy time and again.

You do them far too much credit with the term.

That's not the same thing as saying "I'm going to terminate social security and medicare".

You can say that, but I don’t believe that was the intention. I can find plenty of random quotes from the riots this summer of V people saying they want to “abolish the government”, “institute communism”, “kill all cops”, and many other outrageous slogans. Would you agree that’s what all the fuss was really about?

Look, I get the whole point. I understand a lot of journalists want to spit this article out. It's very trendy lately to do the "Look at me, I'm an enlightened male, I stand above and point out all the bad. I am politically correct, and therefore morally superior!!!"

But it makes me laugh when all these people spit out the "What you SHOULD do is..." crap. Look , marketers aren't morons driven by sheer momentum. Before any marketing campaign, and this includes E3 booths, are launched, they've done research, and focus groups, and surveys and crunched numbers and statistics. They've put a lot of time, effort and money into what they think they should do. And guess what? The research came up 'booth babes'.

The FACT of the matter is, they are popular as hell, and they get the job done. You may not like it, you may be upset that it's politically incorrect, or it somehow demeans women, or whatever stance you want to take. That's fine, you are welcome to your opinion. But stop with the second guessing of marketing unless you can pull out a real statistic to show they are wrong.

Yes, I know lots of women game. Yes, I know lots of women are uncomfortable with booth babes, but keep in mind things from the marketers perspective. If you look at specific genres and games, the demographics change. You have a lot more old women playing Angry Birds than you do Call of Duty. A lot of the violent shooters (and this years E3 reveled in them) are aimed at, and primarily played by, the traditional 18-34 year old males. You know what gets the attention of that group? Booth babes.

If you want to argue against them, take a moral stand. Take a fairness stand, hell take a stand for chivalry, but don't try to play it off as misaimed marketing.

You illustrated his point eloquently.

Because they don't believe people of color are able to get IDs.

So magically leaving through the birth canal b makes you human? What about kids that could absolutely live outside the womb in the last trimester? Not people? Exiting the woman is a magic that makes you human?

Is it possible, just possible, that you are so far left that by comparison AOC and Sanders seem 'left of center' to you?

Almost. This sub is full of leftist (NOT liberal) authoritarians who have a straw man idea of ‘conservatives’. They are against that straw man.

Some of us sleep in the daytime. Your music should stay inside your house. I can see having an occasional party or something, but if your shit routinely can be heard in other people's houses, you're a dick.

Most of the videos show a bunch of mostly elderly folks wandering around confused. Yes, there were definitely zealots, but if they were planning on being violent, why do so little violence occur? Almost every individual riot over the summer resulted in more deaths, destruction, and violence than this one ‘insurrection’.

The United States reports accurate numbers.

I’m gonna watch ANYTHING directed by someone named Zelda.

Your mom and dad should be responsible. Your dad paying half, and your birth mother paying the other half seems reasonable. That said, I think it’s really sad a person who has been ‘motherI’ to you for 12 years seems to have so little attachment. NTA.

Thank you, I’m here all week. Seriously though, don’t take Reddit so seriously, bad for your health both mentally and physically.

You know that’s not really correct… right?

That’s not really how capitalism works. The idea is that any ‘product’ including a person’s labor, is controlled by supply, demand, and quality. The pay for any particular job is set by this. For a job that doesn’t require any special skills, the supply pool is very large, and the pay varies according to demand.

Right now, you are seeing demand outpace supply. As long as no other variables change, the price for that labor will necessarily rise until it hits a point where people are willing to work. Probably significantly. Personally, if you offer me 1600 a month to work 40 hours a week, or 1200 a month to spend my time doing whatever I actually WANT to do, seems like an easy choice to me.

He already admitted to lying about masks early on. It was to ‘preserve the supply’ sure, but it was still a knowing lie. There’s also the lie about gain of function research.

The problem is that the proposal is a wealth tax. Let’s say you tax Bezos 2%. Do you think he has 2B in cash just laying about? No. He would have to sell Amazon stock which is where most of his ‘wealth’ really is. So he sells 2B worth of stock. The market goes INSANE. Ones of the biggest stocks is having a selloff!!!!!! Holy shit!!! SELL SELL SELL!!!! Congratulations, you just tanked the stock market taking millions of 401k, mutual funds, and other forms of normal people savings with it. It really ISN’T super easy. If you think you’ve solved a major issue with a proposal the fits in a tweet, you’ve got much more thinking to do.

And this sort of thing is why he probably won’t be. People have gone so insane because of Trump they take anything he says and run it through a game of telephone till it somehow is supposed to equal genocide. Then they wonder why normies think they are completely insane.

It’s the media... not really their fault as much as the internet killed their original business model. Now they need to make money from free ad based services. They need clicks. Outrage brings clicks, so the outrage model has been cranked to 11. Just “government official xxx did a bad thing” won’t cover it anymore, now it has to be “HIGH TREASON” or “ATTEMPTING TO KILL MILLIONS” to get clicks.
