btw, not saying you couldn't scan it as a backup. that's a good idea as well, as many backups as possible are always good.
yeah, but the solid state ICs degrades over time, books can deteriorate took, but much more slowly, especially if they're carefully preserved, plus a book isn't destroyed if something heavy is dropped on it =P
it does have a similar style...
awesome =)
sorry if I came off as preachy or pushy before... i'm relooking at my previous posts and likely overthinking things ^_^;
yeah, but books are more stable than digital files in many ways...more easily archiveable with less maintenance...
I suspect we're seeing multiple domino effects. conservative-leaning voters have lost their taste for war over the last twenty years, black americans have been promised the sun, the moon, and the stars on a silver platter in democrat-controlled cities for decades, only to be repeatedly delivered a pile of shit on a paper plate while said democrats are mystified why they aren't more grateful, game companies accepted ESG funds to stay afloat, only to watch their bottom lines drop faster than the titanic, Disney gobbled up every IP they could get their hands on, only to have each of them blow up in their faces when fans turned against their products, the 'moderate' democrats have courted the far left to be their shock troops, only to ignore them once they gained power so many times it's actually splintering what support they still hold, USAID was demolished by musk as you said, the trans issue roared ahead with no consideration for the toes it rolled over, the exclusionary nature of leftwing "inclusion" finally reached a boiling point, the family courts abuse of men, and those are just the issues I can think of off the top of my head. i'm sure there's others that none of us are aware of or at least haven't considered making for an avalanche that's going to roll over these people if they can't get their shit together or figure out they aren't as smart as they think they are.
oh the fight is far from over, but the tide is turning. we're actually winning some major battles, from the election to the fact they can't just handwave the criticism of AC Shadows off as racism to, hell, the fact that retard isn't a verboten word anymore.
We've still got a long way to go, but there's actual pushback now...
you have to use a lighter touch in this case. if you go scorched earth, you can ingratiate the feminists to their intended victims, if you ignore them, they'll ingratiate themselves to said victims...
what you can't do is let up, simply because you won a single battle (see gamergate). you have to make sure that those whose ears may bend to them know that they'll lose your support if they bend the knee to feminist demands. Part of the reason feminism got a foothold is they were able to convince those in the institutions they targeted that their detractors were only a small, undesirable proportion of the population, and would simply go along quietly anyway, ie: game companies targeting 'new' demographics while ignoring and disdaining the people who not only bought their games, but in the past, help advertise their games for free.
It would have to be something like a system of guidelines, rather than if X then response is Y. If A, then response is B. The tactics will be the same but a bit different in another country. So they'll need more of a nebulous idea like if they attack with this, this other thing is their true intention. And if you let them in to the company, it will forever be worse for it.
Thank you, that's what I was thinking, but didn't think to include it in my post
okay, now I see what's happening...
The feminist parasites are seeking a new host.
well, that and it only really works if you don't stir up too much trouble. u/SocraticMethod1 mentioned Al Capone's soup kitchens, but the public support of the man quickly dried up after the valentine's day massacre.
yeah, but there was a big yakuza war in the 80s that really soured their public image, so this is still saying a lot.
...i'd kinda like a little more confirmation that this is actually causing a shitstorm, but either way, I'd say this is actually pretty tame for japanese commercials.
...Hell, I remember laughing my ass off at these commercials for years here in the states...
nah, they were about money and attention, lol.
Now they're about rubbing 'power' in people's faces. power that's been squandered as the relevance of the companies involved starts to dry up.
...as far as that goes, i think it's stupid to say, "oh i got married in a church that opposes my marriage, I had to make the government force me to be married there, but i was totes married in the building." retarded and ignorant at best, and just plan mean-spirited at worst.
as far as your example of an indian ceremony goes, no, they shouldn't be forced to let you parcipate, but if you want to perform the ritual yourself among friends and family, you're completely welcome to. they don't have to honor the meaning of it, but if you and your loved ones want to, that should be okay.
...there absolutely is one group i'd exclude from involvement in marriages, though; government. let's face it, marriage contracts are meaningless at this point, anyway.
...wow...
...even the fucking golden globes can fill a venue without breaking out the "dinner and a show" aesthetic to cover the lack of people actually there...
Seriously, didn't these "awards" used to pack stadiums?
yeah, but on the other hand, this is disney we're talking about, lol.
interesting.
honestly, the first place my head was pulse nightclub...
looks like the edits were removed and whoever did the original editing annoyed the fuck outta somebody on the talk page, there's three or four separate threads bitching about the change.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Authoritarianism)
sorry, forgot to mention Bucky was also Captain America for a while...
well, that's kind of my point. Sam Wilson taking over as Captain America isn't as bad of a choice as some of the other diversity hires, he's worked with Steve for years, same as Bucky, at least in the comics, and he's got the history as a hero in his own right. Hell, even some of the art from the comics looks pretty cool.
...But choosing him just because he's black so you can virtue signal and make him a Nu-Male Soapbox for your own bullshit is fuckin retarded and boring(and let's be honest, being boring is the ultimate sin that kills any character).
because it's their 'class struggle,' without it, they can't sell their communist horseshit to the masses.
starry-eyed used car salesmen, the lot of them...
...it looks like you took the lead from an 80s adventure movie for kids and crossed it with the comedic sidekick character...
