Probably late in the 2016 republican primary, when it started shaking out that it was going to be him and Ted Cruz fighting for the nomination to go against Hillary Clinton.

I liked him before, but it was around the time the "The Delegates, Dahnald" and Zodiac Killer memes were running full bore was the time I went from liking him compared to Hillary and Cruz to actively supporting him.

The fact that he had just taken down Jeb! and I was actively starting to hate Clinton, also probably played a role

Welcome to the new space race. No one can slow down, as hesitation could lead to a stark technological disadvantage that could loom over the country for decades.

Buckle up, there's really no telling how all this shakes out.

Or amused by the wacky foreigner. In either case the novelty will wear off soon.

I'm just going to go on record saying that the rivalry between Heinz ketchup and French's ketchup for the Canadian market, has done wonders for the quality of Canadian ketchup, and is a net benefit for the Canadian consumer.

They did this last time too.

I don't know what tools exactly are available in discord, but I'd just make a rule against "showing your power level" aka handing out excessive and unsolicited personal information. If he persists, suspension. If it's a small server, and he complains that he's being unfairly targeted, have a friend intentionally run afoul of the rule and ban him for a day.

If he comes back, add more time for each suspension until you've impossible1ed him.

No kid gloves, enforce the rule vigorously, (and on everyone) or this will only get worse.

Reaction Time, Spacial Reasoning, and Heart size.

All three very important for fighter pilots, all three areas where sexual dimorphism is very pronounced.

Remember, the only reason Canadian health care isn't even worse, is because those who can afford to, go to the US so that they can get treated in a timely manner.

I liked CFLs. But mostly because I was a nerdy teenager that read a lot of books at the time, and appreciated being able to put a very bright, harsh light that was easy to read by in a 60 watt fixture beside my bed.

Nelson Mandela didn't die in prison... But the country might have been better off if he had've.

How's this?

6 million number typically includes Jews who died in ghettos before the war as well. For basically any reason. And it's a significant chunk.

It's true regardless of the subtext. Russia doesn't like NATO. There are many reasons for that.

Ukraine being allowed to join NATO is non-negotiable. Hence the war.

I don't think you disagree with me on this topic in any substantial way. Forgive me if you believe I've oversimplified anything just because I didn't write a five page essay with citations on a web forum.

Of course, but NATO seems to be Russia's big sticking point. If Ukraine gives up on that, suddenly they're back at the negotiating table hammering out the details of how this can be resolved, instead of blowing each other up.

No one will leave 100% happy, but that doesn't mean that tensions can't be lowered enough to end the conflict.

They reportedly believed that they could destroy Russia with sanctions.

.........

They reportedly believed that they could destroy [one of the largest countries on the planet, with huge amount of natural resources by not buying their shit.]

We did that once already. IIRC it took nearly 80 years. /s

Flip a coin, they're either lying or retarded. (Or more likely both.)

But they were all of that before joining NATO.

Remember, that's what all this is over. Russia was willing to bring the war to an end nearly three years ago if Ukraine would give up on joining NATO and it's claims on Crimea, and the part of the Donbas that Russia already controlled since 2014.

Everything seemed like it was wrapping up. Then the US, the UK, the EU, and a bunch of other places jumped in the middle and yelled "Stop! Stop! We'll give you infinite guns and money if you keep fighting!"

Why? What is so crucial about this dumpster fire that more and more fuel needs to be shoveled on it?

They're going to make the Russians roll their artillery all the way to Kyiv, aren't they?

What a colossal waste of money and lives prolonging this war has been.

They could have ended this war in April '22, but seems like all the globalist politicians wanted to fund a forever war for some reason.

That was my interpretation too, but I wasn't confident in my understanding of the nuance around Aikata.

Basically the dictionary I was looking at said it could be used for a co-star, or be a euphemism for a prostitute, so I shied away from stating definitively that it was equivalent to the English "partner"

It's obvious he doesn't believe it. If he did it would be mildly more interesting. He'd actually have a (vile) position to articulate. He's more like a parrot that's been taught canned phrases that he can use to get a rise out of people.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the best presidential library. No one has ever done a better job than I have. My administration was the best ever, believe me. We made America great again and this library shows just how great we were.

I want to thank the fake news media, especially ABC News, for their generous $15 million dollar donation to this fantastic library. They know they can't win a lawsuit against me so they paid up. That's a small price to pay for avoiding the wrath of the Donald.

This library is the best because it shows my amazing accomplishments. We had the biggest stock market gains, the lowest unemployment in history, and I made the strongest deals. Nobody knows more about deals than I do.

So I say to everyone here today, come see this beautiful library. It's the most magnificent presidential library ever built. The marble, the gold, the huge portraits of me - it's all here. I built a lot of great stuff and this is the best of them all.

No, like I said, he stopped commenting on current events, last I checked he was too busy sucking the Biden administration's dick to bother with the trannys.

He was mostly focused on insisting that he's not a trump supporter and carrying water for the Democrats.

I gave up a couple months ago when he repeated insisted that Trump tried to steal the election and the Democrats didn't, and therefore the Democrats were better. Other than that he does worthless tiktok react videos.

It's a shame, his trouble with Trudeau videos years ago were great.

Seems like a coin flip to me. We'll probably have a better idea after half a dozen chapters or so.

Yep. In the end, it's fiction, and it often sends a stronger message if it draws parallels without being a one to one equivalence.

Many people will see traits in these aliens that will make them think the problems in their life. Depending on their personal experiences, the group they draw the connection to might be different, but the core message rings true.

"Is it okay for the native population to be treated like this?"

And a lot of the rest of East and Southeast Asia as well. Journey to the West is a cultural landmark there.

The sheer amount of outpouring of hype and nostalgia about it I saw made me envious. I can't think of anything about anything from my own country that people would rally around if it got a big new entry like that.

People would rather work a second job that pays nothing than play Veilguard

"People" or Germans specifically?
