None of which is controlled by the president. Just shows how self-reinforcing our problems are with poor education and lack of basic civics knowledge among the voting populace.

Sentiments like this are part of why you’re receiving them. It’s important to align one’s approach to the community, to understand the expectations for quality posts that are well supported with civility, yet here you explicitly confirm your desire as a member here is to be as annoying and trollish as possible. You don’t go to your grandmothers house and start dropping F-bombs without consequences or negative social feedback. You don’t go to an elementary school and start waving your dick around without consequences or negative social feedback. You don’t go to church and take a shit on the pulpit without consequences or negative social feedback, so why do you think an online community like this one is any different? Instead of opening a thread to whine about the response you received, perhaps you should consider what may have prompted it and adjust your approach accordingly. Or, you know, keep acting like a pathetic brat and get yourself banned. That works, too. Finally, it’s spelled petty.

Those values are also extrinsic and defined by context and local circumstances. I’ve carried $1 bills in other countries and get no where when I need to trade it for food. It’s just a piece of paper with some colors and markings. Same happens if I try trading a quart of oil for a candy bar at a high school. All of those things have values contingent upon local demand and desires. None have intrinsic value. Value is a social concept to simplify barter transactions and is market dependent, IMO.

Yeah. Never mind.

I can explain it for you, but I can’t understand it for you. Cleopatra was one among many rulers who were exceedingly wealthy before the Bible was even written. The better question is why give a shit what the Bible says? Why not take your cues from Harry Potter?

I can’t find the word iPad in the Bible for the same reason you can’t find the word billionaire in the Bible. Does this comparison help you understand?

I used to be light, but then I gained weight. See, I can play word games, too. Boring. There’s another word for you.

Sounds like Trump and many of his supporters. /segue Back on topic, baby!

I’m sorry you feel that way, but my respect is earned. You’ve failed thus far to do so.

It starts with the parents, and amplifies by the way our “taxes are evil culture” has kept reducing school funding. Add social media replacing boredom and you have a dangerous cocktail of stupidity Won’t be easy for old timers either

Go home, bot. You’re drunk

Which is why you can’t use the Bible as a reliable reference. It’s an anthology where different authors give conflicting instructions.

Musks AI company just released an uncensored state of the art diffusion model that creates images, audio, and video that looks as real as can possibly be and can be used for free / $8 per month and which is trained on all twitter post data. We’re about to see what deepfakes do to an election since they just made it so easy. This is a tame example generated in 2 seconds, there are some seriously nasty ones already floating around. Lots of people will believe what they see.

You literally just copy/pasted the link cited in the OP 🤦‍♂️

Ok

We seem to be leveraging Idiocracy as a user manual

A case showed up in Sweden today. The first known infection outside of Africa.

There’s no polite way for me to tell you that I think your questions are ridiculous

Of course, but for a few brief moments there was broad talk, including among his supporters and fellow republicans, that the event would give him some needed perspective and he’d be less combative/ more welcoming. It was just wish thinking tho https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/18/trump-rnc-image-change-after-assassination-attempt/74404809007/ Instead, he said “No, I think I’ve gotten worse.”

He saw a slight bump in polls immediately after the shooting, but negated those gains rather quickly when he decided not to moderate his tone and instead doubled down on being an asshole at the RNC convention

It’s really about what to prioritize since there are only a limited number of hours in the day. As may be obvious already, much of their time is already allocated to covering up child rape and protecting those who engage in it. On another note, the church is one of the wealthiest organizations on the planet so remaining silent is an issue of self-interest.

Probably bc they need them to build their new rec room

Since when does policy win elections?

Whatever lie they want which keeps people subservient

It’s a Chinese hoax being peddled by zionists to steal freedom from second amendment loving patriots using their microchip inserting forced gubmint vaccine
