Why does Xi think he gets any say? He’s showing his full hand already, and it’s actually pathetic. Already saying that it will have to be taken by force. So he’s admitting that the people of Taiwan, if given a choice, may not choose to join China. Let’s give everyone a vote guaranteed by international overwatch, none of those mainland representatives.

This is just another dictator having a whiny shitstorm threatening to take territory by force just because they want their historical empire.

There’s some real vitriol packed up in this comment. Try not to take it out on the cashiers :)

And you are acting in bad faith. You set up a straw man argument so you can bash people for whatever their choice is. If you really meant to have actual discussion, you would. Instead you spout right-wing bullshit about “Biden bad boohoo”

You say he is the genocidal one, while he is actively being pushed to change his ways and taking responsibility while correcting the behavior. Slowly but surely. As opposed to the other side, which literally just wants to drop a nuke on the situation.

When people call you a bad-faith actor, it’s because you’re acting in bad faith.

We do! Ants have been involved in millions of experiments, and that is how we know so much of their society and entomology. We CAN communicate with them using pheromones and food sources. It’s actually quite simple, really. They just don’t have much to say beyond what we observe. It’s not like we suddenly start seeing unique chemical trails so they can communicate with their overlords, so I suppose they don’t perceive us as other beings in the world.

No but we can estimate the total age before cosmic inflation renders the universe cold and so far spread out so as to be considered “dead”

That timeline is around 10^27 years, of which we only right now have been around for about 10^9. So we are VERY young compared to the max age. On the cosmological timescale, we are still “being born”

I see multiple of these tailgate wraps in town on the back of trucks in my area. People in this area share and distribute MUCH WORSE SHIT than this mild piece of artistic garbage… I’m not saying it’s right, but it is protected speech.

Though we should hold running presidential candidates to a higher standard, and perceive this threat as it is.

Oh yeah, filled up dump trucks of it. Every year in the fall my grandfather would order a ton (probably more like 10 tons) of coal and it was up to all of us to shovel it out and divide for everyone to use and share

This is what happens right before the major money holders abandon ship. There’s no way they don’t know this is business-suicide. I bet they got a big payday from some companies that paid Glassdoor to shoot itself in the face!

YouTube did it when Google bought them and changed everyone’s unique username to their Google account (real) name

“Don’t you think he looks tired?”

Yeah sure, so long as I get a free card to do whatever the fuck I want until MY election, as well. In like 40 years. Fuck that traitor.

As someone from Central Pennsylvania with only 300 total students from K-12th grade, we are simultaneously drowning and shooting ourselves in the foot with the local R’s we put on school boards

Does that count though? If it isn’t even legal to live in yet, I think we should add rebuilding costs to be accurate. I could afford that $10,000 with help from the bank, but wouldn’t have the first idea how much it would cost me to make it livable. Can you still get a mortgage or house loans on materials to rebuild?

It’s not a bad thing just like you say, if he takes offense to it then that’s his problem :)

Maybe he shouldn’t feel so insecure about his own sexuality then if he wants to attack others for it

Not to mention the horrific consequences of Kessler Syndrome when space is weaponized with any explosive ordinance…

That was the Soviet Union and their scientists. Russia WISHES they could claim that invention!

By law, no. In effect, yes. Putin has very little stopgaps in his power, very few who can bring up bureaucracy and regulations to slow down his power train.
