He was a dancer hired for the event. He wasn't anywhere he wasn't supposed to be.

Yeah I had initially checked it out but seeing that there were so few posts and all over a year old was a little disheartening.

There's a few communities I'm missing still, mostly shitpost and fan fiction subs. I'd like to start them but I'm still not sure of my own footing yet.

Gonna be another masterful gambit

Stops federal government from...existing and strong arming states miles away. I know a lot of Europeans are looking at the u.s. right now and asking why we aren't pulling out guillotines, it's because 200 million Americans live west of the Mississippi. At the very best that's a 900mile journey, with the largest population center being 3k miles away. All that versus most states having their capitals centrally located, or at least within a days drive.

The other pro is that if every state just sent a representative, we wouldn't have a figurehead for massive swaths of vastly different people, we'd have a straight Congress/parliamentto represent each states interest and thats it. (My personal hot take is that having a figurehead hasn't been very beneficial to the u.s. since Washington. Like I'd even say Lincoln is debatable, not that freeing the slaves wasn't cool as shit, but that him being a figure head at that time didn't have much benifit)

Aren't they called investors when it's private?

I've heard rumblings of foreign countries already offering deals to phds in the US.

Thank you, I've spent a lot of time giving myself brain damage so I can understand the perspective of conservatives.

Who's plan? The ketamine addicts or the pants shitter?

They aren't smart enough to develop a disease, but they are stupid enough to think that if they don't do anything about it, no one will notice (don't test for covid and the numbers will go down)

The problem is that the CDC isn't getting to say anything right now, so we can assume that the moment they get to talk about it, the stupidest people you know are going to go "woah this was really sudden! They clearly made it in a lab!"
