"We don't call them 'Loot Boxes.' We call it 'Surprise Mechanics.'" :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Welp then I guess it's fine if we stop regulating all the predatory **** that's aimed at kids. It's not gambling! It's "Surprise Mechanics!"

Infraction for John Bolton: Baiting

So how much do you think this whole thing is Trump and how much is Bolton? Iran's his pet enemy after all but then Trump loves selling stuff to the Saudis.

Trump's still got a long way to go if he wants to match or top his predecessor when it comes to arms sales to the Saudis, though.

BabylonBee - Biden: 'Republicans May Have Standards, But We Have Double Standards'

And you wonder why people think you're conservative.

Yeah, we need more people telling us how much Trump sucks.
Why can't he just do that?

In the 70s Iran wanted to blend western culture in with their own. The people wanted a more secular or heavily reformed take on Islam. Western tourists could drink and smoke hash and dance with Iranian women in discos. And a lot of Iranians still want a friendly relationship with the west and even America in particular. They’ve given us every culture signal that they want to be friends. Iran should be the core of a new relaxed Islam but America has made it next to impossible for them not to become radicalized. I’m not saying that there hasn’t always been dangerous powers in play in Iran but I am saying if we weren’t such dicks ourselves this whole thing could’ve gone in a different trajectory.

There’s still time. It’s doubtful but we could still bring an olive branch to Iran. If we do attack them and start a war it’s important that we have huge demonstrations so they know it’s not all of us

This is so disappointing

I don't remember saying that at all.

You people really need to quit jumping to conclusions.

I was being sarcastic.

Okay.

Trump's more dip**** with unintended consequences than full on warmonger. He did some touches and taps, but Bolton straight up put his dick in the frog.

I should love Joe Biden if I'm conservative tho.

You take more unjustified heat than anyone on here. Plus you’re a nice guy. Why does everyone here hassle you so much?

But he's Jewish.

Because he actively courts it and we like to be dicks.

Cause hoes mad.

Culturally?

Pretty sure that every human on earth is a Nice Guy®

Nobody should love Joe Biden.

It's mostly because your favorite satire site is a conservative one. Less to do with the Biden article.

The Onion used to be my favorite (and they're pretty left leaning) but Babylon Bee do amazing headlines.

It's okay to be a republican, you don't have to fake it.

Isn't The Onion satire?

I hope somebody comes back and stands it up straight.

I hear that the leaning tower of Pisa leans right.

The Hard Times is clearly the best satire btw.

Honestly in terms of action (not words) he might be the least warlike president since carter

He's invaded less countries than Clinton so far.

I mean Bill. Kosovo. I guess Kosovo is the new Forgotten War for America. It actually went well and didn't result in a quagmire and it was reacting to a very real genocide so the world didn't remember it as yet another imperialist chess move. I honestly don't even know if it was an imperialist chess move. I guess the 90s was the time when the US became "the world police" because we didn't stay in Iraq, Somalia seemed like a legit humanitarian conflict, and so did Kosovo. And with what happened after 9/11 to overshadow the 90s conflicts I don't think many people have publicly analyzed those conflicts to figure out how they were imperialist. I mean I clearly remember Kosovo and yet I remember nothing about it beyond the news coverage at the time so I can't even comment on what might have been going on behind the scenes, unlike so much of what happened in the 2000's.

We got scared off in Somalia and watched the Yugoslavian **** on TV.

He loved himself some young pussy

Fake Streams Could Be Costing Artists $300 Million a Year

That's a cute way to describe passing on the costs of a flawed system onto the people it couldn't survive without.

Can you say that another way because I don’t get it. I also can’t read the article because Rolling Stone runs so many ****ing scripts it won’t load.

Instead of tracking down and eliminating streaming fraud (despite signing empty pledges to do just that), Spotify is paying everyone less across the board.

and here’s the school’s website lol

Passaic Schools | Anti-Bullying Information

I’m going to explain something about bullying in school. One of the main reasons it continues is teachers are ****ing chicken****s. There’s all this propaganda about stopping bullying but in action it becomes an incident with two sides to the story. Many times kids are bullied because they’re *******s. But just as often a really sweet kid is bullied by other kids who want to feel empowered by being cruel. In those cases, believe it or not, most teachers still won’t pick sides. And then there’s this avoid expulsion at all cost bull****. **** that. Normal kids shouldn’t have to be tortured by the presence of anti-social lunatics day after day. If a kid is a **** **** him. There’s nothing else you can do except take out the ****ing garbage.

There's a lot of bullying that goes on that never gets reported. Wouldn't surprise me at all if some of these school shooters were triggered by that kind of thing (and the media just kinda brushes over it).

Dude

Bullying and school shoot ups are ****ing peas and carrots and many people have made the connection.

I don’t think people realize how violently oppressive a bad experience in school can be however. Some of the children who suffer suffer very deeply. I’ve said it before but it shouldn’t be compulsory. Any kid should be able to walk the **** out whenever.

I think the idea is that heavily covering the shooter's grievances fosters the idea that committing a mass shooting is an adequate response to those grievances, whether it's bullying or a breakup or hating country music.

Attendance isn't much of a measuring stick for a kid's success in school anyway.


No, it's about identifying a core cause as to why the kid chose to do what he or she did. If there was no bullying involved, that would be important to note. But these days it's always framed like the kid saw a swastika or a McDonalds cow abuse video online one time and that just set them off.

I know, but I think the idea behind the lack of the reporting on that is that it validates that kind of response to a situation where it's never acceptable. Some theorize that focusing on mass shooter to the point of anti-herodom is making it more attractive to people with the same grievances.

It is?

That's what they're saying over at Libs R Dum Weekly.
