Victim of Communism
This is predicated on a Great Man of History understanding of the world. As much as we would like to believe Doohickeying Shinzo Abe will change the world, he is but a cog in a much larger machine as evidenced by his protege taking control of the county so quickly after his death.
You simply cannot kill your way to a better world. The Death Note is a fascist fantasy. All it can do it polarizer people against you.
Why are we even mentioning race?
Because 400 years of colonialism shapes people’s understanding of the modern moment.
So why don’t we just try, in general, not to apply stereotypes to any race?
You say this, but I’m still glad I put Charlie Kirk’s name in the notebook.

Why would I do this when I can just reenlist in the US Army for five years?
I love buying a console once it’s old. I bought the ps4 way after the ps5 released.
There’s a price trough where buying older consoles can make sense. PS4 after the PS5 goes live offers a healthy discount. But go looking for a PS1 and you can potential spend as much or more.
Also, there isn’t a huge price break on the games themselves for the newest systems. Elden Ring is a great example. It cost $60 when it was released. It costs $60 today. You can play it on PS4 or PS5 or Steam or Switch. There’s no economic benefit.
My son was premature. One of the first things they had us do was skin to skin contact, for hours a day.
You could see him improve in the charts during and immediately afterwards. A kid who was barely alive at 24 weeks is now a fully functional toddler.
Physical contact is a lifesaver.
Which one of them is talking?
Ironically, Trump is one of Mamdani’s biggest fans.
Feels like I’m watching Mussolini put on a Che Gueverra tshirt
two guys who are very much not “symbolically” Democrats
The minority leaders for the parties aren’t symbolic?
Are you high?
Look at Florida. Democrat establishment loves to run Republicans under a Dem banner
For Senate? That was Schumer.

You said there wouldn’t be pressure.
Once a party actually wins the presidency, pressure drops.
More if nobody thinks you have anything to hide
m certain this will accumulate into something so damning that their hand will be forced.
You can’t force the hands of the controlled opposition
Schumer and Jefferies exist to protect the Republicans, not to oppose them
They have plenty of clues. They wrote the damned clues
Hakeem Jefferies is already throwing winnable votes to MAGA Republicans in the House
Aren’t the Taliban broke, because Karzai spent two decades bankrupting the county while president?
Biden releases $7bn in frozen Afghan funds to split between 9/11 families and aid This article is more than 4 years old
Money would go toward humanitarian efforts for Afghan people (spoilers: this never materialized) and to US victims of terrorism, keeping it out of hands of Taliban
The last thing the US did before leaving was to clean out the country’s foreign currency reserves. This resulted in an enormous famine, skyrocketing child mortality, and a string of infrastructure failures as foreign trade ground to a halt.
Very similar to what the US did in Iraq and Libya after officially withdrawing.
You say that until you develop lower back pain
That said, there’s definitely a value in staying physical while they’re very young
