See, it's just power creep. First it was "front-holes", now they're "bonus-holes", soon it will be "better-than-you-holes", clearly! The slippery slope is real!

Hollywood put their money on the Black Panther actor becoming one of those icons, but that didn't work out quite right.

But... How can Rey train a woman? Women are strong, they don't need no training.

And yet... Russia is plagued with thieves, pickpockets, muggers, and the like. Absolutely plagued with them.

I've been to many world landmarks. I noticed (so probably a lot more) SEVEN attempts to pickpocket me while I was at just one touristy destination in Russia. My local guide shrugged it off, just a part of living in Russia, you'll get robbed a LOT.

I could count my money at Niagara Falls, in the open, no problems, even at night. I've seen people leave ten thousand dollars on a table in Vegas to use as a "I'm still sitting here" placeholder, and it go untouched. It rings very hollow that Russians, so blase and used to mass thievery, would say that Americans are the money-hungry ones.

EDIT: Then again, they do nothing about it, so perhaps yes, they don't care about money. I guess if you cared, you'd care more when it is stolen...

It's a real-time action game. It isn't a Final Fantasy game, so good news for you there. It just uses the corpse of FF as a skinsuit for sales.

I wasn't one of those sales. ATB is about as "real-time" as I will tolerate in RPGs.

Despite London's efforts, pretty sure the UK is more than 51% white, anyways, so even with their overt lying it's still out of whack.

I thought "Crazy Chicks" was the yandere theme song.

I hope you mean the hand of the Glorious People's Government, because private ownership is theft!

One would be "The Gaze". Can't do this, can't do that, it might attract... "The Gaze". As far as I can tell, "The Gaze" is some kind of devil or demon in their mythos, but its influence carries well beyond their internal cult.

The Gaze is an insidious demon, because The Gaze's mere existence is defined as violence... Until it isn't. Which is usually when someone purchases absolution from their priestly caste: The Gaze, ultimately, isn't important. You can engage with it as much as you like, so long as you pay due tribute (but remember, it is horrific violence if you don't pay tribute!). But showcasing that you believe in their demon is an important humiliation ritual for them.

The demonification of The Gaze boils down to an attack on basic biology, a request that you, and all your works, and all your enjoyments, from a thoughtcrime-level upwards, deny that biology exists, deny that evolution exists, deny that objective reality exists: Because in an objective reality their ideology crumbles to dust.

Well, they ARE marsupials, right? I heard all Australian mammals are.

The internet has had a whole meme war over "Is a taco a hot dog?".

Language is, be design, vague, so that it can deliver concepts quickly and concisely. "There is a chair over there you can sit on", you look, and there is a padded cylinder with a slight concave top, but no other objects, you will likely correctly assume it is some type of stool, a chair subtype, to sit upon.

Likewise, if I said "there's an asian guy over there who you should talk to", you're not going to ask for phenotype tests of the red-haired white guy and the ebon-black afro-man while a fellow of clear Chinese ancestry stands beside them. Race may be ambiguous to an extent, but arguing that it doesn't exist is arguing that hot dogs don't exist because tacos also are bread product in a curve holding a meat product with toppings.

Are you implying that Patriot Front is... a front?

Britain paid far more to end slavery, than Haiti did to be allowed to commit genocide.

Digidollars are just barter. If I trade many CarrotCoin for one FixMyRoofCoin, or if I leave "coin" off the end, it's all just barter trade. And it is taxed at the real-dollar-value of those barter trades, in theory.

You don't need to overcomplicate things. You owe taxes in your country's currency, but you can do business in whatever currency you want, as long as you provide that payment at year-end, 10% for the big guy.

You can't outlaw barter trade, because almost everything is barter trade on some level.

Just confirming: Your argument is DeSantis is smarter and/or wiser than Trump, therefore he is a worse candidate to vote for in your eyes?

Why aim for 99.7% of the population, when you can aim for 0.3% of it?

Given his criminal history of attacking 50+ people in inner city subways, with the number increasing over the months/years, it would statistically have just been a matter of time. That marine killed the next Hitler.

Fighting has a major psychological component to it, when it's a matter of endurance rather than skill or strength. And when it comes to endurance in that fight, Imp can't be beat. Even his haters' troll account attempts get tired out in a week or two.
