I would agree 100%.
Kneeling is very disrespectful vs linking arms in solidarity.

kneeling hurts my knees

would rather fight standing up than on my knees

@Wardog NFL players were kneeling, which I agree was disrespectful, but recently at a game they stood linked arm in arm and were still booed/criticised by some conservatives

interesting. again, dont know the entire context, but linking arms is a good thing in my opinion... unless theyre trying to turn the act of linking arms into some disrespectful bullshit

That's probably what happened.

@natzzmillions_ they were booed because they were standing for the Black national anthem

And the black lives matter and the names of the criminals and rapists were being posted on the video boards

Black national anthem? Isn't that... Racist?

Believe all women, except when they accuse Saint Jacob of Blake.

Of course. Believe all women until they accuse either a) a Democrat or b) a criminal who just so happens to be useful to out narrative. So much for me too.

But if they accuse anyone to the right of Marx? OH YES BELIEVE HER BY DEFAULT.

Anyone know anything about audio? Whenever I am playing audio on two different applications on my pc. the audio gets muffled for one. I've tried this with youtube, spotify, and some other audio sources and compared it with videogame audio.

For example, I'll be playing a videogame, lets say I'm playing Dark Souls. So I'm playing this and maybe I want to play music on spotify in the background. Normally this would be fine, but last week or so, its been super muffled and garbage audio for the spotify. Same situation is applicable to youtube.

it's a question of app dominance

Like priority?

yep

Ok. I'll look into that.

i normally run multiple media players at once...and some browser media players ...u can set that no app has priority or 1 or more has priority

👍

So question. Am I the a-hole in this situation? This is a screenshot from the colorado.gov main website about masks and Covid which clearly says that a person does not need to wear a mask if they have a medical issue that a mask may interfere with. I have been going to my local gym that requires masks. I wear one to get in but take it off when I run, which they allow as long as you have it around your neck, but for anybody who puts even light pressure around their neck when running knows it feels like you are being chocked. Not only do I have asthma, the smoke from all the fires makes me sometimes have a shortness of breath, like I can only breathe in 80% of what I normally could even with an inhaler. I have been called out by 2 employees for not wearing a mask and even had the owner call me and ask me to just wear it around my neck. Should I just wear it down around my neck, and am I an a-hole if remind the employees that they are required to ask if I have a medical condition before making me wear a mask?

nah, remind them of the law. thats your job when someone clearly doesnt know it. wish you luck dealing with idiots.

better to remind them it's not a law, no mandate, ordinance nor guideline is a law

any law in the usa has to be passed constitutionally, and only then approved by senate then president(national), or governor(state level)....the first phase is normally done via public announcement and discussion on the topic with the public before going to committee then to the representatives(both national and state/city level)

courts decide on the law, but they do not make the laws

How does everyone feel about BREXIT and Candence Owens?

Candace Owens is a badass. Brexit is a necessity.

Brexit was a good thing, and we need more people like Candace Owens. She's smart and beautiful. Not afraid to speak her mind and exudes confidence. That right there is a role model. I dont follow her very closely, but I think she definitely is a badass. (especially after she wiped the floor with Cardi B in front of their combined audiences LOL)

I'm okay with Candace. I just hope she's learned since her project that was bordering on 1984 levels of madness

Brexit? Get em Limeys.

Never should've joined in the first place, it was only because the Labour Party destroyed the Empire, nationalised our economy to hell, gave the Unions unlimited power, raised taxes through the roof, made unaffordable public spending commitments that weren't reduced until Thatcher ending the so-called "post-war consensus", but they still have a legacy today. They made us the sick man of Europe an a second class nation. Attlee received $2.7 billion in Marshall Plan Aid and $4 billion more from America during his premiership, along with $1 billion from Canada and 4 million ounces of gold from South Africa, well over $130 billion in todays money. How much went to the colonies? How much went toward infrastructural or industrial modernisation? Next to none, the bulk only went to nationalisations and demagoguery. He implemented forced labour in Malaya, after they'd just been occupied for 4 years and the same in Africa, to the families of the heroes that had fought the Japanese for 4 years in Burma and driven the Italians out of East Africa. That caused the Malaya and Kenyan rebellions which destroyed Churchill's plans to entice foreign investment to the colonies for businesses to train and hire the natives there and raise the tax base of the colonies (along with the franchise which was tied to tax). As the tax bases grew then the governments would be able to pay for things like improving schooling which would make the next generation to be more skilled. Once each colony reached first world/dominion status, they'd get full responsible self government within the Empire/Commonwealth, with free trade, we'd share the burden of defence and also coordinate on foreign policy. Investor confidence was instead in the toilet as both rebellions took a decade to put down, every colony painted as a powder keg ready to explode at anytime - who would want to put their money in somewhere like that? Africa and the Middle East are a mess today and the Commonwealth is a fart-in-a-bottle

Agreed

though trump is doing a great job of making peace in the middle east

Where can I found source for that survey? And more generally where can I find more official statistics of this kind ? Thanks!

fbi crime statistics

try past 20yrs

SirW00f#8599 thanks for that, it was bit obvious. Now, I think that mentioning source in memes makes it “next level”.

Lmao

Yes it does

If abortion was banned in the US, it'd be increasing the overall birth rate by 25% (4 mil born, 1 mil aborted per year). Statistically if you have a child out of wedlock you're much more likely to be poorer, the child is also much more likely to turn out negatively (crime/drugs/suicide/dropping out etc) if they're raised by a single parent. As most children aborted would've been unplanned and likely out of wedlock, we'd generally recommend adoption/the foster system instead for them. How could we pay for nearly 1,000,000 extra children per year entering the foster/adoption system? It costs roughly $200k to raise a child until they're 18, and $200k*1 million = $200 billion, it'd be impossible to fund that through charity. I'd gladly take whatever tax increase if it meant stopping children being killed, but I'm not dumb enough to believe all of my extra taxes would go towards children alone, or that when a Democrat was elected that my taxes would magically go back down - they could even go towards funding things like more abortions since it'll be decided by states even if Roe is overturned.
