You're full of absolute shit, Europeans were just the peanut on the turd. Ever since proto-Asians crossed Beringia North America has gone to hell, killing the sabertooth tigers and hunting all the really fucking cool megafauna to extinction. There used to be giant sloths here, and sloths are so chill.

Most of that's false though. He couldn't build a good smart team, Wozniak could. He was very good at screwing others out of ownership in the company they helped build though. He was also very good at one thing, envisioning a computer in every home, and a computer in every pocket. That was his one true talent.

But he was not "smart". He died to cancer detected early enough to heal with modern medicine, but chose quack treatments instead. There really isn't any such thing as general intelligence. Everyone's got very specialized knowledge in some topic, and are idiots in everything else.

Oh my sweet summer child... You think they're going to give up power at this point? That is not what fascists do.

There's only one solution to fascists, and it can happen naturally after 50+ years, or the 1940's method.

I think it actually is interesting if you're going to call out humans as a species of animal!

All across species from unicellular to megafauna, from plants to fungus, you can find mechanisms used to defend an individual's physical territory. Ants and bees from the same species will fight and kill others colony members of they stray into their territory. Bears will fight and kill other bears. Our closest relatives, chimps, will go to war with neighboring chimp bands.

Artificial borders are humans way of saying "this is my territory enter at your own risk". The REALLY interesting thing is that we have established systematic exceptions to the behaviors we see in nature. "Ask us before you come and you can visit and be safe here from those that enforce our territory."

The temporary nature is unique, many social animals will permanently adopt an outsider into their group on occasion, equivalent to immigration, but I'm not aware of any that have pre-agreed temporary violations of group territory.

Law enforcement is not permitted to randomly pull over vehicles. They provided no justification. This is clearly illegal.

Only if you believe their words, which you absolutely should not. A for profit prison management company got paid for 100 days detention when they would have gotten 0 if they let this guy leave.

Everything working out as planned.

This is also in context of the Republican effort out control education. Banning topics they don't like, rewriting history, homeschooling, and diverting public school funds to indoctrinating "Christian" private schools.

Few groups hate "illegals" more than immigrants. They did it the "hard way" so it shouldn't be easy for anyone else.

As is always the case with fascists, the laws will apply to the people they don't like and be ignored for the people they do like. So long as Victoria's Secret's CEO continues paying the bribes, it's not porn.

Nope, your "nothing matters everyone is the same" bullshit is wrong. There are different levels of harm and the far right is objectively more harmful to more people.

There is a plan... It's all laid out in Project 2025. The endgame is a christofascist USA ruled by a hereditary nobility of the billionaires.

Returns are not a right, no retailer is required to accept them. Most do it for a better shopping experience, people are more likely to spend if they know they can return.

You are protected from defective or dangerous products, but that's through the manufacturer's warranty. You are also protected from products that do not work as advertised. I think that's a law in most countries.

But returns for other reasons like bad clothing fits or you just don't like it are not legally protected for the most part. There are some exceptions but they're specific.

So to say restocking fees are greedy is silly.

Or they're shitty tech executives and are shit people, which has nothing to do with gender.

  1. Yes. Guess which color skin they want the 100M to be.
  2. Yes. Again, guess which colors the skin of the people they worry are having too few/to many children.

Many conservative Israelis hate the victims of the Holocaust for being victims, they see them as weak. They feel shame, not empathy, and they're happy to follow the Nazi methods so long as they are not the victims.

It's in the article, they didn't drop him during the coverage period they declined to renew.

It's perfectly fair, if you can decline to review and insure with someone else when the 6 month term is up, so can they.

They had to reject it because any religion with a creation myth specifically says how the god created people. To accept an alternative story would reject the notion of the book as truth.

The religious are not looking for answers, they already have all the answers by definition of their holy book or whatever. They're looking for confirmation bias and reject anything that goes against that.

I mean... "Small government" Republicans were always demonstrably lying, as far back as any of them have been alive. Every one of them just wanted to shift money from things that support people to the pockets of their donors.
