Comment Re:The Cybertruck better be a flop (Score 1) 134

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a relative newcomer but racks up wins in reliability, interior quality, interior features and ride and handling. And, since itâ(TM)s not a luxury vehicle, it has much more accessible pricing as well.
Instead of claiming ride and handling, post some Nordschleife times and I'll decided if it can claim a win in ride and handling.

Compare this to what Trump did, which was to threaten to use his position as president to illegally withhold aid if Ukraine did not publicly announce an investigation.
Like Biden did when he bragged about getting a prosecutor fired while vice president? But you're right Biden should not be impeached, only b/c he isn't mentally fit to stand trial in the Senate, instead we should use the 25th Amendment and remove him so that vice president Harris can replace him.

But in any event, for all that 'talk', until at least one of the cases against him finds substance, no one is *actually* going to block his run.
Since there are state level officials trying to keep his name off of the ballot, that's pretty damn close to blocking his run. And while you sit there so smug and sure of the righteousness of the Trump impeachments remember that they changed the whistleblower rules so that you could provide third hand testimony(since a CIA informant was the one helped Vindman craft his complaint to Schiff).

you cannot take anyone from the R group seriously this year, last year and likely next year. its been a while since there was an honest R (liz cheney of all things, was one exception; and I'd never have thought I'd utter such words, but its true.)
Tell me you eat lead paint without showing me the paint chips on your tongue. If you believe, Liz "NeoCon" Cheney was the last honest Republican, then you are so far down the partisan rabbit hole, you may as well just stop paying attention, b/c you have left reality far behind.

If that's the Dan Olsen one, OP would probably think that Olsen spreads wokeist propaganda that will turn his nephew into a transgender Jew.
I found the video on youtube to be insightful, though I also found Dan's dismay at how being rich isn't a hindrance in the new crypto landscape to be a bit naive. Very few scenario's in life are made easier by being in poverty. Still I don't believe there was anything in the video that would make one convert religions or change genders. Just try to avoid rolling your eyes when the mention of "marginalized" communities comes up.

If you're selling said NFT for a trivial amount, yes they probably will not give two shits about you and your dealings. If on the other hand you are selling said NFT for millions, such that the transaction looks like money laundering or a bribe, then lots of people will be happy to examine the particulars of that transaction(some of whom may have a monopoly on force) at which time you can try to tell them to fuck off. Let us know how that works out for you.

Comment Re:It’s up to China (Score 1) 55

The way Europe was treated before 2020, when China had a good chance of pulling Europe out of the sphere of US influence due to Trump's chilling of European relations, the island wars with neighboring nations, the constant Fourth of July show going on in Taiwan's backyard. If China did the schmooze treatment and not rattle the saber, there would have been a good chance that Taiwan, and maybe even Korea would have been reunified. However, China made a mistake of stopping playing the long game and go hostile
Yeah, that was never going to happen as long as China continues to build coal plants. The lunatic greens of Europe would never ally with China and its mass consumption of coal.

The projection is strong with this one. The only power-grasping motherfuckers we see are Republicans, who still (including you) won't admit that their front-runner for the 2024 nomination tried to end American democracy through lies, crime, and violent insurrection. And then did nothing about it when given the chance to prevent him from running for office again, saying "we have a criminal justice system - use that to hold him accountable."
Tell me you've been so gas lit that you've forgotten all about the COVID-19 restrictions without telling me you've forgotten the entirety of 2020-2021. Sorry I'll have to go report you to the disinformation board, started under a Democratic administration.

Nah, I think a certain ex-President with over 100 felony charges levied against him for trying to end liberal democracy in the United States might "trump" some idiot douchebag crypto-scammer running an obvious ponzi scheme, who happened to spread a lot of stolen money around with politicians to keep the grift going.
As they say in Tropic Thunder, "Never go full retard." I'd wait and see what happens to those 100 felony charges once they are adjudicated in a court of law. But keep huffing the MSNBC "walls are closing in" hopium.

Not grand parent poster, but if I had to guess, Strange World and Lightyear would be an example of non-wholesome. Though those are 2022 films. Best guess would be take a look at Disney films with a high critics score and a very low audience score to find more.

Comment Re:To stop the mass shooters (Score 0) 184

The facts are as I've shown you, the looser the gun laws the more mass shootings you get. It's almost as if gun availability influences gun usage. Who'd have thought, right?
Facts? LUL. Here's a fact, in the 50's schools had rifle clubs, and students would bring their guns to said rifle clubs, and guess what? There was no mass school shooting epidemic. Perhaps it's a little more complicated than simple gun availability == mass shootings(for example see Switzerland). Plus getting run over by a truck is not less lethal than getting shot, and I haven't heard anyone calling for truck control(or pool control since that's what actually kills kids).

I can remember a strong element of Randian libertarianism here as long as I've been here. I've been here long enough to where I was a libertarian myself at the start, and am now a die-hard liberal.
Bread lines for everyone! But in a seriousness, I can't fathom how after the Milgram experiment writ large that was Covid response, any rational person can move towards authoritarianism. Do you think Big Brother will always love you?
