Or just ignore like most people ignore flu vaccines, unless you're at high risk of complications if you do catch it due to age and/or poor health.

Nah. The radical left will be happy that "an attempt was made", especially when Pelosi eventually blames Republicans for her own decision. The rank & file will believe her without question and will just assume you're wrong or lying if you point out the truth of the matter while being too lazy to check into it.

The bill being brought to the floor was a staged event, with nobody ever thinking it would go anywhere. Both parties have pulled this tactic before.

Yep, especially with many of them being shaped like a pistol. A quick search and I found a few that depending on circumstances could be mistaken for a gun.

I know of several conservative Brahmin Indians (coworkers or past coworkers) and of my Jewish friends and co-workers half are conservative and half are liberal. Shoot, I had a Jewish Uber driver last week who was ready to start the second Civil War already to fight what the Dems have been up to. Stop making enemies based on stereotypes.

The dude is quite old. Entirely possible he isn't seeing things clearly.

Possible. With how Germany has in recent year hidden things like organized gang rape, going so far as to make sure incidents don't make it police reports, I personally deem any data from the country as suspect.

I have to wonder why actual game streamers still use Twitch at this point.

Eh, it won't match the humor and general craziness of Red Eye. What ever happened that caused them to fire Bill killed that show and proved that Gregg really needed an opposing voice to play off of.

Is that what happened? Assuming you've got an accurate read... nope. Like I said, I'm tired of every thread being dominated by "all the women in the world are out to get me" or "it's all the Rothschilds" or the ever fun out and out racism.

I am not advocating for silencing anybody. Free speech means everybody gets to speak. But with what goes on around here I frankly see this place as a shitposting forum at this point.

I don't post much here b/c it's gone from politics to 95% crazy fringe conspiracy theory nonsense. I actually agree with the frustration Ragnar_Danneskjold is expressing in his post. It's hard to have reasonable discussions or convince the unconvinced when the guy behind you is REEEEING just as loud as the people you oppose.

Mike is usually the guy making those jokes. I suspect he just can't stand bullshit.

My favorite prank I've ever pulled was asking my guys if they had figured out the prank yet.

Nah, there were plenty of Conservatives advising against the bailout too. Bush did nothing to hold the banks accountable as well. He made the call, it was a bad call, he gets to hold the blame.

Nah man, I'm tired of the conspiracy nonsense myself. If it were the occasional thing I'd just ignore it, but the women = cause of all evil is starting to become the primary message of this board.

I've read dozens of the books they've published, but quality seems to have gone down since Jim Baen died. I'd warn people that if you start any of the older series expect to be disappointed by poor or non-existent conclusions.

I've dabbled in table-top system creation, so mostly stick to home-brew content for systems that are close to what I want now. I also used to be somewhat active in the RPG Maker community creating pixel art. Currently I've been dabbling with making my own pokemon fan-game with a bit of a South Florida theme to it.

It's working now FYI. Probably just a temp thing with Imgur.

Is it time for a repeat of Sad Puppies?

It appears to have been form 10 years ago. Iphone cameras weren't as good back then. If this was recent people would have been spread out, been wearing masking and probably had some shielding added around their desks.

I'm using a Razer Basilisk that I bought at a discount and am liking it right now. I don't do competitive gaming so I'm not worried about having a wired mouse.

I used to use the Logitech G602 as I liked the weight of the mouse and it fit my hand quite well, but my last one wore out quite quickly and I've noticed some quality issues with Logitech mice in general the past few years.

Pretty much, and considering how the EU is actually run you should think of it as German imperialism primarily.

Allegedly

As another alumni of PBAU I'm going to have to say there is nothing sacred about that chapel or the school in general. Shoot, the chapel was specifically funded b/c the previous location was too small and students (for whom attendance a certain number of times a semester is mandatory) could not fit into the room. The new building cost millions, was built as a vanity project and could seat about 70% of the number of people as the previous location.

The idea of "Service guarantees citizenship" seems better every day

Latin American immigrants voting liberal has not been my experience, but most of my friends are legal and either have become citizens or are working towards it.

Shoot, the one guy I know who was here illegally has since gotten a proper Visa and recently called out another friend for refusing to call COVID the Wuhan virus.

Dont use gang related behavior in Blue cities as your basis. Also remember that there are varied cultures. We dont want mass, unrestricted immigration but I think we should be working on building relationships with the nations to our south.
