Same, I don't even see her on the count at all, just like, Trump, Harris, some libertarian dweeb, maybe Stein can't remember

The United States is currently committing genocide against them. Why would they not describe the US as their enemy and the biggest evil in the world?

What kind of attitude do you think a resistance group should have to a political power that's committing genocide against them?

Kamala Harris is firmly committed to the extermination of the Palestinian people, she's not Captain Janeway. This is asinine.

I pretty much always go ibuprofen, but aspirin is fine.

I'm pretty sure acetaminophen is snake oil though (this is a joke but I can't recall ever having it resolve a headache for me like ibuprofen does).

It almost certainly won't, but that doesn't justify voting for a fascist who is exterminating children.

You're oh so willing to let millions die to get your preferred politician in power, but I bet you'd be singing a different tune of the millions included you and yours.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

Chapter 3 analyses a "boots on the ground" invasion (the occupation would require a draft)

Good luck, I'm defecting as soon as they don't have eyes on me.

First ever actual preemptive strike.

Damn you post this dumb thing a lot.

A 2018 year-in-review and prospective on fact-checking from the Poynter Institute (which develops PolitiFact[25]) noted a proliferation of credibility score projects, including Media/Bias Fact Check, writing that "While these projects are, in theory, a good addition to the efforts combating misinformation, they have the potential to misfire," and stating that "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."[26] Also in 2018, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as "an armchair media analysis"[27] and characterized their assessments as "subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in".[28]

Wow that's pretty damning, almost makes it seem like someone using this to shut down conversations by claiming media outlets are unreliable could be acting in bad faith. Like some kind of pro-Western, pro-Israel ideologue.

Not exactly the same, but the SWP are trots who for some reason love Cuba (but denounce all other AES and anti-imperialist struggles).

Deep magic, black art, heavy wizardry, almost feels like cheating.

I don't even know computer stuff, just picked these up via osmosis.

EDIT: blue screen of death is a very powerful abjuration spell

Great time to get into, oh, any RPG that isn't connected to WOTC.

Ton of options available, including many designed to offer similar experiences to various editions of D&D if that's your jam.
