Also, the total cost of the space race from nothing to the final Apollo mission was only $25.8 billion ($170B inflation adjusted). Government horseshit has caused everything to balloon out in price.
That's less than we spend on illegal immigrants each year. We could be on mars right now, but instead we pay to have illegals rape and murder our kids.
Unironically.
The wizard population capped out a thousand years ago, judging how Hogwarts is less filled than when it was constructed. Meanwhile the muggle population exploded from a few million globally, to 8 billion today.
Yes, it's a big fucking problem when your population goes from being outnumbered, to being outnumbered a million times worse.
Yeah, I'm not a big Trump fan after his presidency. He did little more than a poor job at a holding action for 4 years.
But I'm a huge fan of our country not getting annihilated by dems, who will send us hurtling full speed into destruction.
How can critical role make a profit if it sells only 20k?
They make, what, $5 a comic at most? That seems like enough to hire one guy to do the comic if you've got zero spent on overhead or materials or any other services.
Yep. It took tons of pressure, bots, buying or infiltrating mod accounts.
And it managed to kill off the site to 1/10th of it's authentic comments as most people realized it was all fake and gay, defeating the whole purpose of infiltration.
All your examples are seem to have the same core of libertarianism that naively misses the good reasons why we do that.
- All crimes must have an injured party
Crimes can have victims that are potential, diluted, or too willing to be victims. Do you want to remove all bans on drunk driving or texting while driving, because that harms nobody (until someone is killed)? Nobody thinks they'll make the mistake. Is it okay to spew pollution into the air and water, such that any injured party can barely even be aware if they were injured? If the class of victim includes "everybody on the continent" how is that any different from And should jews be allowed to molest children as long as they convince them that it feels good so it's okay? If not, how is that different from drugs, where a victim is harmed but you think it shouldn't be a crime because it feels good and they are willing? (And before you say that kids can't consent, tbh, underage kids are probably more able to make intelligent decisions on sex than an addict is able to make on the topic of if they should do more meth.)
- You must have actually committed the crime
Failed attempts have to count, or people will be able to attempt doing illegal things until they succeed. Should trying and failing to assassinate someone not be a crime? As long as you don't hit a bystander, you get as many tries until you succeed, since shooting a gun and hitting nothing isn't a crime. What about trying to hire a hitman to kill your spouse? Anytime where a cop catches you, no crime happened so you have to go free. What about scams where 99.9% of your targets don't get scammed, so the only crime you can be charged for is when you succeed, even if you have to call 10,000,000 houses (which is totally legal, since no harm in calling).
- You must have mens rea.
If you allow ignorance to be a defense, then people will be incentivized to be ignorant. Is it okay for me to fumigate with lethal chemicals, if I just don't check who is in the building first or I use the wrong chemicals? I didn't know, so it wasn't a crime. What if I start a campfire and don't know how to smother it properly, causing a wildfire that destroys billions in land and kills thousands? It's okay because I'm so retarded, I guess. If I buy a dangerous dog that mauls a todler, is it okay because I saw worldstar videos that say this breed of dog is the best?
These tools in law are needed. It's bad that they've been perverted to bad ends, but the only solution is to replace the corrupt judeocracy with actual good stewards and enforcement of the law.
America is in second place to China's first place, and we've got about 60% of their capacity. We're also growing our industrial output at about 2x the rate of China, who has significantly slowed down.
Plus we make actual good shit. We produce quality products and high tech stuff, while China makes cheap shit and crappy electronics.
We're fine on a manufacturing front.
This goes against the zeitgiest here, but I think it's one of the few good things in this era. This isn't a map of control, it's a map of giving the fruits of your nation away to others, or the map of importing foreign shit into your country.
Most of the US's trade in 2000 is offshoring and sending our wealth to foreign counties for cheap shit. Giving all our stuff away is how we got into a bad state here. By 2020, we already started seeing a return to onshoring. The US is currently the country with the lowest percent of their GDP in exports, not counting countries like Ethiopia who simply cannot have trade. We now have more domestic production and make more things in America, and we give less to other countries. This is good, IMO.
The Chinese work hard, extract wealth from their country, then send it to other countries so they can get fake and gay numbers on a bank account balance. That's retarded. It can buy you soft power, but we're rapidly realizing that isn't real. Physical objects and resources and production facilities are valuable, but promises of fiat are not. As Russia in 2022 proved, all of your assets in clown world can evaporate overnight. And as 2020 proved, those trade links to other countries are liabilities, not assets.
I'm not sure if you've been to other countries, but other countries are not self sufficient. There's way more 'Made in America' in America, than there is 'Made in <country>' in any foreign country. And I want there to be even more 'Made in America' here. This is a map of America turning it's attention inward, and (hopefully) cutting ties to the rest of the world in the near future, and I am happy to see it.
It's a long and heavily sourced video going into the ways that MrBeast is unethical and sometimes outright illegal.
He fakes his videos, redirects his random prizes to people he knows, lies and makes kids think they'll win prizes by watching him, and holds illegal gambling with his target audience of preteens. And most people suspect this, but an hour of proof is solid and convincing.
This isn't really an "I hate MrBeast" drama video. The guy who made it does hate him, but after watching it I think it'll be mostly a useful video to send to parents (or maybe the older MrBeast fans who are aging out) to convince them or their kids to stop being fans and see through the fraud.
Shadowbanning should be a crime. But I don't know if shadowbanning is necessarily happening here.
It seems likely that this would catch a shit ton of dislikes and reports from Mr Beast fans, and generally if something is getting a ton of dislikes relative to views, it should be be hidden because people dislike it.
100% on the Pericope Adultury.
- It says Jesus wrote on the ground with his finger in the Second Temple... the STONE ground. John (or the author of John) would have lived and visited the area of the 2nd temple and known it was stone, but the forger who wrote the Pericope Alduterae 500 years later obviously had never been.
- It uses word choice that isn't present anywhere else in John, or the books with the same author.
- If you read the end of John 7 and skip over the to John 8:12, you notice that it flows much more sensibly instead of having some bizarre backtracking for no reason.
Once you know to look, it's an obvious forgery.
This is pretty suspect, but the Republican National Convention was this week too and it was the last trading day before the RNC.
And if you look at the RNC showing how leftist it can be, and Trump's shitty VP pick, it would have been a disaster if he hadn't just survived an assassination attempt like a boss.
They chose a black protagonist and one of the companions is a black woman? Check.
Dragon Age has always been customized characters right? The voice certainly sounds white. I assume the default option is white, and some dangerhair in marketing choose a darkie for their trailer.
Although, even if that's the case the game still looks like shit.
Streamed videos and downloaded torrents take the same amount of bandwidth for the same quality.
If you delete it after, it takes the same amount of space too.
