    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    An emotion that Charlie Kirk said he hated, which means he shouldn't get any. "Political violence is never acceptable" is not a principle I disagree with, but if "some gun deaths are just the price to pay for letting weapons be easy to get" counts as political speedh, then those gun deaths were...

    According to the way people who actually study myth, legend, and folkore distinguish between between those three, it's only a myth if it focuses on gods and/or the origins of things; a culturally important story that's about important people is a legend.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Do you have Teufel on ignore? If you do, that's why; you can't see threads started by people you have on ignore. (I don't like this either.)

    There were several reasons Alpha Trion being made one of the Thirteen was a bad idea, but even before he was, we still also had Liege Maximo, Vector Prime, and Nexus Prime, plus rumors about Macaddam. So "The Fallen is the only one still alive" was false before they had any real concept of...

    I don't see how. If they can "reconcile" anything that means they're not believing the parts that contradict what is actually known for a fact. (Or they're rejecting the parts of science that their beliefs contradict, in which case, yes, they are in fact in the reality-denier category.) And...

    Where does this idea that "nobody knows the truth" is parallel to real life even come from? In real life, we do know a lot from science, history, and archeology; not everything, but enough to say that most detailed mythologies have been proven to not be literally true, and that most conspiracy...

    Nothing ever even officially merged Vector Sigma and Primus until after Beast Machines linked the Oracle to Vector Sigma, though. But also, "religion" as "just stuff characters believe and it's not actually true" was another thing much of the fandom then couldn't grasp. Just some casual...

    I think it's too late to make "nobody from then is still around" work with the Thirteen. Half the group consists of characters who appeared in the present in their first appearance, often before they were ever considered part of the Thirteen.

    Didn't Nazi Germany ban Jews specifically from owning guns right before the jive hit the fan?

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    If the purpose is to encourage more consumption, funding it with sales taxes (and a tariff is just an extra sales tax on imports) is counterproductive.

    But then they'll claim (often in direct defiance of the obvious) that older movies and shows were more nuanced (and/or that their politics were less important to them) than the newer ones they want to complain about.

    Especially since he took down the portraits of the other still-living Presidents.
