"You didn't win correctly." - Chess (The original Dark Souls-themed tactical grid-based roguelike war game)

I'm sure that the intention of your comment is benevolent, but the greatest issue not addressed by it is that capitalist greed is relentless and now persists without mass consumption. Plastic pollution garbage gets manufactured to line up the shelves well before anyone even purchases it and tosses it away. Workers will be given the bare minumum to sustain their lives because there are a dozen or more other people willing to compete for the same job, for potentially even less. The combustible poison siphoned up from the earth will continue to be released into the atmosphere even if most people switch to battery-channeled transportation that will still break down and waste away its parts in the environment.
It should be considered that America is investing in its infrastructure by making sure that its educated population of professionals and pre-professionals is able to find suitable work and stable living conditions debt-free. Instead of that, we have a severe lack of foundational jobs for the educated (unless you're an overpaid nurse or engineer that will always be in demand), exacerbated cost of living, and foreign students taking away competitive education seats from American students. Everything has been one big sellout to the wealthy, domestic or otherwise, while average Americans and their students suffer. Student debt forgiveness isn't a metric designed to be measured by a sum of money arbitrarily gained in return after investing, it's an investment in the wellbeing of its society and its people.
I was chess club president for several years back in my high school. Now, as a 500-rated player and lifelong Mario Party connoisseur, I can guarantee you that both games feel like RNG even if I put the neurons to use.
I did ride-alongs back in freshman year at a big university. There was a digital display in the brief room showing all of the service vehicles in use at any given time and what equipment each one currently had. Only ONE being driven had a taser, all others had a rifle or shotgun in the back. They could afford a whole storeroom of ARs, but only provide one officer at a time with a taser. They were still using floppy disks in some of the rooms too.
Unbelievable and this was at least eight years ago. I'll always remember that.
"The army who fought genocidal fascists to the death are just as bad as the genocidal fascists themselves."
You might as well full-send instead of half-assing it and proclaim that Nazis are the poor, innocent victims of unwarranted Communist aggression.
Thank you so much! I wrongly assumed these were California regulations. Honestly, Canada regulations seem even more wild in comparison considering the rules surrounding an 18.5" barrel threshold, restriction based simply on a named make or model, and then if the firearm was factory-built or not. Almost as if a lawyer consultation is needed before making a purchase.
These are the same people who see their wacky German grandpa as a war hero who defended their reich nation from rebellious, unarmed civilians instead of the genocidal war criminal that he actually is.
Biden campaigned on similar promises and ideals like resolving student debt and improving the economy. Even personally relevant promises like creating a public health jobs corps (relevant to my degree and field of study). The only thing he sufficiently accomplished were the initial vaccination efforts, but it's as if we stopped having an actual president into and after 2022: The filthy rich managed to get exponentially richer with this war-supply economy and stock market presidency. My student debt is still a burden in the back of my mind and all of my available graduate-entry jobs are either severely underpaid or shilled out to robots that also vet my applications. Until the war profiteer and stock market billionaires actually pay their fair share (which they should have been a few years ago) or provide citizens with jobs that can sustain a healthy living, any good socialist promises that are made are flat-out lies because senility and flacid mental acuity won't even be a valid excuse anymore.
thanks for using Leebra!
