Charlie Kirk got famous through Turning Point USA, a political group targeting young voters, spreading stupid political memes as conservative propaganda.

There’s many videos of him setting up a booth at college campuses and debating college students on their liberal or progressive viewpoints.

Joctober and Novemy sound fun!

It happens all the time if you continue to pay attention to events months or years after they occurred. There are people with focus, skills, and interest who dig in to understand disasters and complex factors that often create them.

I guess you can argue that the initial political discussions kick off the resources that get actual solutions created down the line. It’s just sad to me that people get all riled up about crazy situations like the central Texas floods and when the actual analysis of the situation comes in later hardly anyone cares to read the reports or even give a shit about the proposed solutions.

Ah of course. I think Boston as well and maybe that super federal (NOVA?) part around DC.

Sounds like the SF Bay Area, SoCal, NY, GTA, VAN, or London.

Original reads way better

Mamdani won a mayoral primary, hasn’t even been elected yet and the hype on all sides is enormous.

Really hope New Yorkers dig in and back this dude.

Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.

This was the late 2000s but knew a person actively working on long range ballistic missile interception. Asked, “how does it work? Is it like a shotgun or explosion where you explode when closing in on the other missile?”

Turns out the most reliable method was kinetic. A pencil hitting a pencil on the order of kilometers a second making contact way up in the atmosphere.

My limited understanding is this was nowhere near 100% reliable at the time, but there were successes. Some real crazy shit when you think about it.

This is the most bat shit insane take I’ve seen on this website.

I wonder how this works in the Purgiverse.

You can’t register a title during the purge (I assume), so the next day you’d be driving a car someone else owns and be forced to return it legally?

Sorry the business closes before sunset so you can’t steal it!

He’s used that sign off on a couple other messages. It is such an odd change of tone.

Makes me think it’s some weird manipulation tactic, or like the 17th time he says it it’s a code word to dismantle Congress or some shit.

There just aren’t enough criminal immigrants to reach our lofty goals. Turns out people motivated enough to leave their nation of birth and come here despite all the obstacles generally don’t want to fuck around once they arrive.

We can kick out immigrants and restrict international students until the cows come home. We will be worse for it because the US consistently fails to educate and up skill our own citizens en masse.

Aside from the moral issues, we just invested probably 150k in this kid’s education, and NOW we pay more to deport him?

Oh I stand corrected then. My local is Best Buy is 10 miles away. I’ve picked up there a few times and seen drivers picking up there before.

Did not realize they would also deliver direct from a wharehouse.

Best Buy is not setup like Newegg. This is in store pick up with an extra step.

I searched this text because I thought it might be copypasta. Great read lmao

It’s a good question. The flat fee is already covered by your item purchase, so at worst it would be 2.5-3.5% of the donation amount, which isn’t terrible.

I don’t understand the post title.
