Obviously if you're blackout drunk because you "like beer", the abuse never happened. /s

" Am I being detained or am I free to go?" If detained "then you shut the fuck up!"

The right is too far right of the moderates to agree on anything. They need a few purple state moderates to lay down the future of their seat and sit down with the Democrats and work out a compromise. Being in a purple state and you save the house it just might work out for them. Current course is likely to get them all primaried OR replaced with a Democrat next election.

Belle "Gaston, you are positively primeval."

That was added during the cold war by lunatics that thought it would protect us from communism somehow.

It is a way to segregate the "worthy" from the rest (or vice versa I guess depending on if your "worthy" or not).

This is also the reason that immigrants became "illegal". If they are legal you have to pay them a real wage/benefits/pay taxes for them. If you make them "illegal" you can have very cheap labor (slaves) that can't rat you out or they are deported. They also only give corporations a slap on the wrist when they "had no idea they were illegal". Then the corp just replaces them with "new hires" who are totally "NOT illegal" and starts the process all over until the next time.

I tried many waiting for Sync release on Lemmy, but nothing felt as complete, it's just far and away the best IMHO.

Probably because in a free from authoritarian government the free press is supposed to be the ultimate checks and balances on personal liberty. When you can't even write something negative about a leader without being dismembered in a hotel and disposed of in duffle bags like trash, that should be ringing alarms for anyone that isn't licking boots.

I don't think putting your head in the sand makes all the world's problems go away, just makes you ignorant and less prepared to handle them.

That is anything but 100% reliable. Have had Sold By Amazon items with stickers on a box you know didn't come from the Manufacturer that way.

Sorry as someone with ADHD and Autism, my need to have all the facts but not being able to wait for people to eventually get there is sometimes near impossible and is a constant internal struggle. This is especially bad/difficult at work.
