They will undoubtedly ignore the larger issue: if he's too incompetent to seek a second term, he's too incompetent to serve the remaining 6 months of his current term.
Jackman's looking pretty old too. Definitely not getting the "ages incredibly slowly due to healing factor" vibe from him in that clip.
I was unfortunately at lunch with a leftard when the news dropped and they said the same thing.
I tried to explain how, even with the best marksman with the best equipment, bullets arent laser beams, and only a fool would let someone shoot at them like that. Of course they wouldn't know anything about it, since "guns are icky". Morons.
Crybullies.
The amazing thing about the left is their complete lack of scruples whatsoever and their capacity for infinite self delusion.
Even in states with a Democratic supermajority controlling all branches of their government, the tone in forums like Reddit is that they are the underdog just barely holding their own against the Republican horde.
If they didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any at all.
Maybe after enough people are "culturally enriched" by these animals someone will do something about it. One can hope.
That's what I'm afraid of. I think we crossed the line to where violence is necessary and justifiable some time ago- the whole COVID thing should have kicked off an anti-government murder spree.
I'm wondering if the fuddy old boomer who bitches night and day about gun control but ultimately hands all his guns over quietly when they're banned isn't just a metaphor for the entire right.
What do you think about this idea I read in an opinion piece:
Biden makes Obama his running mate and publicly announces that he will resign pretty much immediately upon election. The 22nd Amendment only bars someone from being "elected to the office of President" more than twice. He wins, resigns, and you get another 4 years of Obama.
I personally don't think it will work because running Obama wouldn't get them any votes they didn't already have, and may very well lose them a few from people who don't appreciate them gaming the system.
Plus, they're almost certain to be mired in court challenges- the 22nd Amendment also says that you can only be elected once if you served more than two years of another president's term. Since Obama's already been elected twice, that language would seem to bar him from just assuming Biden's term.
The suggestion, just like calls to pack the Supreme Court, does serve to illustrate how the Democrats are only interested in the rules as a means to acquire power, and they eagerly look for any loophole to abuse the system when it no longer suits them.
Wasn't this the earliest presidential debate ever? I mean technically they're not even their respective parties candidates yet- the Republican National convention is next week, and the Democratic National convention is in August.
My guess is that this debate was set up specifically to gauge Biden's fitness for the election this fall. If he did poorly, the Democrats were planning to kick in their contingency plan to replace him, which we're seeing now.
The turmoil this is causing in their party is awesome, but I have to wonder if it wouldn't have been better if Trump had refused to debate him until it was too late for them to swap candidates.
The last season was the best.
"The shelling has stopped; the war must have ended. The Great War, 1914 to 1917!"
"I'm afraid not."
I find the very first one, set in medieval times, to be barely watchable. It worked much better as they shifted Blackadder to being smarter and Baldric to being dumber.
I don't like Biden. I think he's emblematic of the very worst of career American politicians, and his party is actively working to destroy the country. That being said, when I see videos like this I almost pity him.
Here's a guy who should be sitting in an old folks home watching Matlock and reminiscing about past glories in the few hours a day that he is cogent, and instead they're dragging his body from event to event, probably pumping him full of drugs, and just generally practicing elder abuse, to maintain a farce that nobody believes.
The Biden presidency is a pretty stark confirmation of just how evil the Democratic party is- in no small part due to how they're willing to debase Biden himself in order to hang on to power.
IIRC, the original Gladiator trailer used music from Conan the Barbarian. Quite a bit more classy and fitting.
The ghettoize so much shit with rap music now because they think it makes it sound hip and edgy.
"fighting-man" is your go-to, very first example of "insensitive and derogatory language?" You fucking loser.
"GI Joe, GI Joe; fighting man from head to toe!"
so you removed content? Gotcha. So it's worth than useless and, if I wanted that edition, I should just go get the originals
That's what I did. I never really played D&D proper, but I read some of the novels and played some of the computer games and I have appreciation for the source material. I downloaded all of the stuff from second edition and earlier from The Trove several years ago.
Modern D&D doesn't exist, it's a just Hasbro wearing The branding of the original IP like a skin suit with none of the charm or wonder
The history of the game and TSR itself is pretty interesting: did you know they were acquired by the family that owned the rights to Buck Rogers, which is why they had to push out a bunch of Buck Rogers crap towards the end of their existence? They paid royalties for using that IP too. I would prefer to read about it from an unbiased source however.
Who are the leaders of Wikipedia?
Back in 1995, when I was born, Gerard was my age...an Australian sci-fi fan and early career sysadmin, a proudly weird bisexual and polyamorous goth
He hammered out much of the essay’s content with his fellow Wikipedia editor and close friend, a pre-transition trans woman who would later become known as Elizabeth Sandifer.
The article goes on at length to discuss how this sexual deviant abused his position as an admin in Wikipedia to skew articles against people he didn't like, including doxxing a few individuals both personally and in conjunction with his tranny freak friend.
Ultimately, after much handwringing and debate it seems like the only punishment he got was being barred from editing a page about someone who he had a personal grudge against and had contributed material to the NYT to help them write a hit piece on- citing the article he himself had contributed to as a source.
What a retarded, disgusting, broken wreck of a human being. And how dysfunctional and toothless must the leadership of Wikipedia be to not do anything about it?
Zionism is the doctrine that the Jewish people were entitled to an ancestral homeland in the location of the historic kingdom of the Israelites, and that they should achieve it by colonization and the forced removal of the existing populace. It emerged in the late 19th century.
There's nothing incompatible with simultaneously not having a problem with Judaism in general or the Jews as a people but not agreeing with a doctrine that they can just seize other people's land based on some nebulous historic claim. Certainly, the nearly century long warfare in the Middle East and the personal cost to the US in blood and treasure alone is a very valid reason to say that Zionism is bad.
Kicking off with the Rocky Horror freak and ending with the fucking elf girl with her "authentic self"- priceless!
I wouldn't be surprised if this was some high level troll; it's just too perfect
He was shot down flying a TBF Avenger torpedo bomber and rescued by a submarine. The two other crew members on his plane were killed.

I watched it for about 5 minutes until I realized it was just going to be some asshat with a headset responding to comments people typed to him about someone else's video.
Why does anyone watch this style of YouTube video?
... Hale’s family claimed they assigned them the copyright of her written materials.
Supposedly the family assigned the copyright to several organizations related to the victims. I have no idea why the article phrased it this way, as the family either did or didn't assign the rights, the term "claimed" really has no place here.
Eh, it wouldn't take a very sophisticated algorithm to detect groups of people consistently voting as a block or people accusing everyone who beats them of cheating. That sort of pattern recognition is actually one of the areas machine learning excels in it.
20 people who consistently play together and consistently flag the same people as cheaters can be weighted significantly differently than 20 people who have never played together before or since flagging someone.
It's just cheaper to buy a piece of off-the-shelf bloatware; the problem is that those tools will always be one step behind.
I don't understand the point of layering in memory hogging anti-cheat software. All you need to do is have a system where if an account gets enough complaints about cheating it gets flagged and only ever plays against other people with the same flag.
Just vector all the people using aimbots and seeing through walls into the same matches so they can enjoy each other's company.

I can't stand when a company calls it's employees "team members". They work for wages and you will fire them the second it becomes advantageous.
Nothing wrong with that, it's just business, but let's not pretend that the relationship is anything more than this.
[W]hile the record reflects that the Government defendants played a role in at least some of the platforms’ moderation choices, the evidence indicates that the platforms had independent incentives to moderate content and often exercised their own judgment. The Fifth Circuit, by attributing every platform decision at least in part to the defendants, glossed over complexities in the evidence. The Fifth Circuit also erred by treating the defendants, plaintiffs, and platforms each as a unified whole.
You know why evidence collected illegally is inadmissible, even if it absolutely, irrefutably proves the guilt of the defendant? Because we want to create the most powerful disincentive possible for police officers violating the law in obtaining evidence.
I don't particularly care if Facebook would have chosen to censor the same stuff the government asked it to on its own. I don't care if it was just a suggestion that Facebook was free to refuse and not coercion. The idea of the federal government even asking a private company to be their proxy in censorship is so repugnant to the 1st Amendment that the nuances don't matter, and it should be treated under a similar "fruit of the poison tree doctrine" as illegal searches.
It's shit decisions like this that have convinced me that, just like politics and elections, the judicial branch is just a bunch of kayfabe bullshit.
Which is crazy. I'm sure a large part of the military will stay and obey their orders, but a non-zero amount is going to either desert or defect the other side and take their equipment with them.
Not to mention the National Guard. If things devolve into a civil war along left/right lines a number of states are going to be seceding and taking their National Guard with them.
