Oh good, I joined just to point out Swalwell "Joking" that he'd nuke America in order to undermine the constitution. Glad to see someone beat me to it.

It certainly helps spread the message, but memetics > money

What with the MSM and Hillary both advertising Trump for the majority of the time (Free air time because they couldn't shut up about Trump, and Hillary's moronic slogan with Trump in it) , it's a real case of work smarter, not harder.

One major issue was, once again, Memetics, Trump was constructive in his platform (Fix things, solve problems, build things, you're gonna love it.) vs Hillary's destructive campaign (Trump is bad and terrible and people are deplorables)

She was terrible due to her memetics and her career.

What highlights her integrity (Being the lack of integrity) for me, is the whole pickle jar fiasco. The one Alex Jones proved was a lie, by opening like 15 jars of pickles to show the vacuum seal pop and the way your hand moves when opening it for the first time.
It was such a minor thing, but for the fact that Hillary was insincere about it and proud of being insincere, it just framed her whole character perfectly.

Oh no, I know, I was just expanding on the memetics surrounding her and why money != elections being in the bag

tfw I was a Webbslinger.

I want Biden to run so he can get 100% dunked on for his creepy touchy pics.

Yeah but Trump said that about adult women, Biden has pictures of him smelling children and stuff

It's that gray zone where it's like
"That's not your kid, Joe"

Ojeda I think is the most likely I believe

He's not well known enough to be nationally panned

But has enough recognition he could probably wiggle his way into the number 2 spot.

Yeah, that's another thing, the elections showed a lot of interesting things, including the obstructionism of Kavanaugh having a hefty effect, as well as Never Trumpers conservatives losing, while Trump supporters held on/won.
Neocons took a big hit, but the New Right types took/held seats.

I don't believe there's any ethical way to change a person's orientation.
The closest I've seen to changing orientations is trauma which often are on the same level as trauma which induces personality disorders.

https://youtu.be/D-PudCOrROI The very first joke is very relevant to this discussion.

I'm reelecting Jackson.

Hell yeah, he also had a parrot that wouldn't stop swearing

Beat a dude with a stick in Congress as well

I believe he also shot a few people in duels, and was shot once, and then shot back and killed the guy

Isn't that a weapon in Fallout New Vegas?

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ballistic_fist Yeah, it is.

I always do long and over the top grand names. It's fun.

It's one of the best in the series as far as content goes, though, it's a really buggy mess, so be prepared for fighting with it if you do play it.

Eric "Accept the confiscation or feel the radiation" Swalwell

I'm a nerd so I like Fo2 a bit better but it's on the same tier, just in 3D

Yeah https://www.cbsnews.com/news/maryland-officers-serving-red-flag-gun-removal-order-fatally-shoot-armed-man/

The system was racial, and attitudes could be racist, though owning slaves wasn't quite racist, it often was

You'd get some progressive slave owners, as odd as that sounds

The mobile one is OK, it's nothing fantastic but for a little phone game it's not offensively bad

The problem is that
With the old show it exemplified the "Adult" and mature features that makes one think of adults, while the new one is very soft and immature, a lot of modern shows are taking that route of infantilizing the art style and making it safer/softer

So making the character more immature/boyish and androgynous is just unappealing. When I was a kid we thought it was awesome to have adult heroes.

Libya was 100% our fault for ruining. Syria too, for the most part

!gamer

A touch late, but, it'd be quite humorous if Trump built a wall around the land that CAH bought up. just put them on the Mexican side of it.

@DrYuriMom I actually 100% relate, I'll have 3 feet of trash all around me until it's the day before family comes over and then I stress ultra hard and make my house pristine. I actually broke my rib from my binge cleaning last year.

I was moving big bags of trash and smashed into my door's knob quite hard.

The second amendment is explicitly for being armed well enough to resist and oppose a tyrannical domestic government, to defend against foreign is just a bonus

As well as home defense, hunting, sport shooting, etc, are all just pleasant additions to your ability to bear arms

And yeah, recreational nukes are to make a statement, not to overthrow anyone.
Plop one in the oceans as a metaphorical representation of how corporations treat the oceans via pollution.

Domestic tyrants threaten the free state, you know.

Also yeah if the government ordered the military against American Citizens, it'd immediately refuse and eat up those in the military that didn't refuse first

It'd cause immediate infighting

So,
For the border thing being shut down,
I live like 5 minutes from it, and I work with a lot of people from Tijuana that come up here, they pay taxes here, buy stuff here and pay sales tax, etc, and people from Mexico come up here and spend thousands of bucks on construction supplies which our stores get

(Also sorry, I'm butting in with local news)

And so this whole event is actually shanking us financially, we (San Diego) are taking a massive impact on our taxes and a lot of jobs are going to be empty today

It's a real pain too because we're a purple county, leaning red, and we're the ones feeling the pain, not the rest of California which enables this bullshit

Especially on a Sunday, we're going to lose a LOT of money from this.
I know the blame shouldn't be placed on the military, or really, even Trump, but the caravan for their rowdiness and recklessness and their economic migrant seeking, rather than true asylum which they were offered and denied

But also, we get a ton of food from Mexico shipped up to us, so if it lasts any appreciable time, we might end up with some half empty markets. Of course the Temecula crossing east of us is still open (I think) but the whole thing is a real drag.

San Diego is the lone red (Well, purple) city on the coast in California

That's what happens when you let politics become your new religion

When you let politics dictate immortal sins and feel as if politics is all that matters to save your "soul" you turn against family and break your bonds to find redemption while casting out the devils, which happens to be anyone who disagrees with you

Is the original post

It's kinda celebrity stuff more than it is like, politics and news, but, Stephen Hillenburg, Spongebob Creator, died from ALS yesterday

While I don't think any 1 particular person is going to get audited, I do think the IRS might take a harder look at stuff like premium snapchats/camshows etc

because it's a whole new market to tax and make revenue from

That reminds me of some thesis being 'reviewed' by other physicists, and each one basically started with "I think it's bullshit, because I don't think so. I read a tiny bit and won't give it any further thought." which is strictly against the scientific method, and most of the further complaints were things they had skipped over in their hurry to try and disprove it, rather than let their bias be challenged. You know it's gonna be a bad time when 'scientists' start their review with personal attacks and trying to convince the person is bad, not that their thesis is wrong.

So like, I'm sure it's been discussed to death, but, it seems many major sites are cracking down on pornographic content lately. They pushed "No this, it's profane" and then from there ate more and more of it's way to "No explicit images"
And it seems to be incredibly broad, across the board, like the silicon oligarchy is trying to purge it

Almost like television.

Like, how much longer until there's a crackdown on things like servers hosting explicit material? They've already shown they can bully entire services off the net with any outrage.
I feel like, and call me a conspiracy nut, but, I feel like the tumblr bots that seeped in CP wasn't an accident

The wild west for the internet's been dead since 2007 if we're being honest. Since then it's been all cities and bullshit.

Now it's extra bullshit and totalitarian where you can't leave anymore

They'll drive a tank into your new house and set it on fire if they don't like it

Free will is such a worthless debate

"Bro it doesn't exist, like it's all predetermined"
"Did fate tell you that?"

We have plausible will. We are able to make choices and act within the scope of possibility.

Some actions will cause us to be heavily influenced but ultimately it is our will

That's just circular logic.

If you have a million, hell, a trillion actions you can do in this very moment, and you determine one to be correct, it is your will being done when you enact it in spite of all else you could have done.

Here's what it boils down to
>Free will doesn't exist
Therefore your life under the presumption of free will doesn't matter because you are physically and mentally incapable of grasping what it means to be on a path you can't alter, there's no alternate step, your atoms vibrate as they have been ordained to.
>Free will does exist
Therefore your life under the presumption of free will existing or not doesn't matter because it's your choice to act the way you do, it was by your own free will to forfeit the responsibility to the intangible that is lack of free will

Either way you have to make an effort to do anything

Cause and effect exists
But it's not binary, it's not X happens therefore Z down the line is inevitable

If someone punches you in the face it's inevitable you're going to be sore and maybe bleed and swell, that's inevitable cause and effect
But then by your choice, you can either retaliate and punch back, or you can leave. That is by your will. Although you're influenced to get angry as a natural reaction to hostile pain, you still have a choice

I'm 964 years old

I was born when the west stopped being traditional.

this is why free will debates are stupid because there's no way to prove it, because if it's determined that you'd argue about it, then it's determined you believe you have free will and the determined results of you embracing free will is the determined prosperity of growing your diligence and discipline and thus increasing the heights you can reach and achieving those heights.

But if there is free will, then it's the same fucking result

It's a philosopher's jack off conversation

If there's two doors to get into the same room, and one door was 4 feet tall and the other was 9, most people will go through the door that you don't need to duck to get into. That's influence. But nothing is stopping you from using the usable 4 feet tall door, that's free will.

We live in a universe bound by physical laws, so we have a plausible scope, but within that existience every choice that is up to you will shift that scope around

If you eat like shit and never exercise, the scope for your life is to be a fatass that has heart issues, even if you go to school and get a degree, or live with your mom your whole life

But if you get fit and eat well you open new doors that you couldn't before, like now you could probably climb King's Canyon in Australia

Your scope is not the end of your existence, it shifts with you, there's hard physical limits, but you can push beyond what your old self had as a limit at one time with determination

Your free will is to explore the whole ocean. Your physical limitation is that you can't suddenly transform into a bird.

But you sure as hell can get your aviator's license.

Ben Shapiro'sgenetics predetermined him to be a manlet
But his will made him be a slim manlet instead of a fat fuck manlet.

Also if free will doesn't exist, neither does consent.
Checkmate, feminists

Even with a limited possibility, you can have free will. Video games are a perfect representation, you can 100% them, you can die once and never play again, you can run against a wall for fun

A manlet is any man below 6'

according to /fit/

Though the term more appropriately fits men below like 5'6" and closer to 5'

Yeah, a physical manlet is someone around 5' (Like Ben Shapiro at 5'1)

In contrast with the global world, 5'6" is kinda average

in contrast with white Americans, it's a manlet

So it's relative, but globally 5' is small

Though as it was mentioned, there's mental manlets and they're like

A little too short to join in on the conversation proper

That's the distinction
