Hey, you’re that mango expert

And there’s no way to go back to “the way it was before.” There will be revolution. The only questions are when and what it’s going to look like on the other side.

Quality over quantity.

They have been radicalized by Democrat Party rhetoric …

lol no. I’ve been radicalized by the fascists who have taken over the entire federal and many state governments.

Yup, and the side that loses is the side that wasn’t violent enough.

Violence works, otherwise there wouldn’t be any. We’ve put up a whole system of laws and police and investigators and courts and prisons in order to provide an alternative to violence. And even then, that system is itself backed up with a real threat of violence as well as its occasional localized deployment.

Yesterday’s “pep rally” where none of the military leaders dragged in had anything good to say about it suggests that there is not the overwhelming military support that Trump wants there to be. There are plenty of examples of far less powerful local forces successfully standing up to superpowers. Afghanistan is one. Wallachia is another.

When the entire federal government and many state governments have wholly abandoned the systems put together to avoid violence, and are in fact using the husks of those systems to apply violence to their opponents, we’ve already crossed the Rubicon.

Oh you want my password? Okay, ready?

F … U …

No that’s it.

First of all I am THE objective authority about eating mangoes and that is not up for debate thank you very much. As much is my goddamn birthright.

I thought, “Ha! That’s some very funny hyperbole right there!”

Then I read the rest of your comment. I no longer believe that your opening statement was inaccurate in any way.

There are so many ways this is all very bad.

“fffff”

Body dysmorphia.

They’re correct that it’s not a 1A violation by Nexstar (or Disney or Sinclair). The First Amendment is about what the government can threaten to do to you for legal speech. Like what Brendan Carr and Donald Trump have done, among others.

How is this even a thing that could be asked for? Who do they think they are, Nintendo?

For early EVs, where the battery life is “relatively short” (think 100K miles), yes. But ICE engine life up until about the late 80s was around that, too. Now it’s more like 200K miles before a major engine repair costs more than it’s worth doing. EV batteries are getting to around the same 200K mile threshold, and while the battery replacement will be expensive, it’ll be the same “not wortht the cost, time to buy a new car” that a comparable ICE car would be.

Also, “There will still be a trial, of course. It just won’t be fair.”

Seen it in the Caribbean, I expect it’s plenty common in places where the sun is a deadly laser.

… as an economic sanction well into the war, Lincoln outlawed slavery.

Expanding on this –

It’s important to note that the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves only in Confederate-controlled states, and not in Union border states, as well as welcoming any of those freed people into the Union Army. This served the multiple purposes of: creating chaos in the Confederacy; negatively impacting the economy of the Confederacy; forcing states in rebellion to expend more resources on controlling the enslaved people within their borders (and by extension, fewer resources on waging war); and increasing membership in the Union Army.

New battery is cheap. Subaru headgaskets are not.
