Don't some also think it's proof he is the Antichrist?

Something about the beasts head being mortally wounded but then being completely healed - and the world followed him

It's maybe not all Christians but there are certainly many evangelicals who will believe literally anything if they feel it advances their goal of bringing about the biblical end of days.

I don't think they really care if they actually are on the Jesus side of the whole apocalypse. They are happy enough to believe they are, despite categorically rejecting everything about Jesus.

Their thoughts and opinions are literally worthless aside from being dangerous. They don't believe them outside of a means to advance their goals - but will react with extreme prejudice and hostility if they don't get their way.

Are you suggesting lower cost and some convenience in exchange for incomprehensible risk is somehow a bad deal?

Is part of the reason for a big drop off in "big donor money" because of Biden's (sudden) age?

Or are the wealthy just accepting that Trump will make them way wealthier than they already are at the trivial cost of democracy that would only affect the poors anyhow?

Seems like democracy in America is already snuffed out and the wealthy rats are happily trying to get the last good spots on the dictator-ship

While I agree with you on how ridiculous everything this person does and believes in, I am not sure how I feel about the "entrapment" part

While I don't know the specifics of the entrapment, anyone getting entrapped by pedophile bait should be exposed.

It's absolutely ridiculous to believe pedophiles only exist in one political camp, especially with mountains of evidence showing anyone with wealth, power, influence, and status (politicians, police, religious leaders, authority figures) are more likely to be pedophiles. It seems that politically, more Republicans than Democrats are convicted pedophiles, but it's certainly not one or the other.

"Hunting pedophiles" rings hollow when you truly believe that anyone who likes the letter R cannot be a pedophile.

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if Trump became the next actual Jesus of Christianity in a few hundred years.

They certainly don't give a shit about OG Jesus anymore, he has a bunch of stupid rules that new OJ Jesus would never endorse

There's nothing wrong with wanting supporting evidence for claims, but when someone says something that's very provable and common knowledge and you ask for proof - you become known as an idiot.

They do mention the incubation period for Rabies in the article can be up to two years, and they also mention it being found in seals starting in 2021.

You are correct that anyone bit recently may not be able to 100% confirm no transmission, but if no one bitten since 2021 has had Rabies from seal bites its still an accurate assessment.

Especially if people are bitten in (salt) water. Rabies spreads via saliva which is likely going to have a significantly smaller viral load if the bites happen in ocean water (also mentioned as a possible reason for low/no infection)

I love my 09 ranger, one of the last years before they scrapped it and went with the Goliath model.

Honestly don't see the appeal to the huge trucks unless they're for work, but it's not surprising that automakers in North America don't really care to offer what consumers actually want to drive.

For what it's worth, a government can absolutely subsidized an industry in an attempt to capture a foreign market.

There's a reason Japan and Korea have their own auto industries despite being next door to the largest manufacturing nation on earth, and it isn't because they're somehow making and distributing them for even less than China.

That being said, several automakers have blindfolded themselves about the type of cars people want. I do hope this threat is significant enough that automakers actually shift to mini-electric transportation options.

If not, I'd be happy enough buying a small Chinese electric even if the taxes made it equivalent to a larger "western" vehicle. Because it's what I want to have available to me and it's nice to fuck capitalists with capitalism.

The consequence of arresting political opponents?

A lifetime without consequences for your actions.

Lewis Black's comedy always has a special place in my heart

I've been getting the Samsung 'plus' models several years after they come out for a couple hundred bucks and still can't find a reason to upgrade from the S10+

New phones are way too expensive for a better camera and marginally faster apps, which would be entirely out matched by a dedicated camera at the same price.

Surprise surprise, I also drive an old ranger that has aux but no Bluetooth so everything works out

Paying workers more is inflationary, but raising the cost of goods because you control the supply chain is "business"

Basically, raising product costs to cover increased labour costs are bad because actual workers are getting that money instead of the wealthy capital class.

I wish people understood boycotting more. Sure 6 companies own everything, but remember when the cost of a barrel of oil went significantly negative because people weren't driving for 2 weeks?

If people collectively decided they didn't want to buy anything but the absolute necessary staples for a few months there would be an absolute catastrophe in the supply chain and they'd be forced to lower prices significantly.

They may not lower prices forever, but modern business is built entirely on supply chain logistics. If people stop buying anything, or buy things exclusively to return them we would see some serious changes

I am not sure what point you are trying to make, or how it relates to my comment/the article?

Even if we're talking about someone who simply lacks basic or any morals, that would make them even more susceptible to Greed.

Especially when using a system specifically designed to provide them with vulnerable people who are mostly hidden from public and given less wages and rights, don't know local laws, and are incredibly desperate.

What a convenient coincidence, heartless Greed finds itself flush with unlimited desperate workers. Again.

Indifference is just a tool they use - the root cause is Greed.

They hate immigrants, but love slave labour. Then use immigrants "taking jobs" (what the farm owners actually want, because slaves are very profitable and locals would never do that work at that wage) to rile up the population to vote for Conservative governments, who often don't change the influx of immigrants but who does love to lower taxes and turn a blind eye to labour abuses.

Exactly what I was thinking, this pupper was 100% chalked

Samurai champloo is a classic and contributed a ton to anime style, but maybe doesn't hit as hard with plot as more recent creations. Fun and campy meets dark and gritty

Inuyasha is another classic feudal Japan and magic environment

May as well mention Afro Samurai if I'm gonna have a string of feudal Japan anime

Most people look like they mentioned Cowboy bebop already

I'm a huge Neon Genesis Evangelion fan, but originally watched it in the early 2000's as a teenager with divorced parents so there's probably a big nostalgia factor

I absolutely loved cyberpunk edgerunners, but it's only 10 episodes (watched this probably 5x already)

The animated witcher movie + Castlevania (not nocturne though) were really good.

Arcane + DOTA I found to be really enjoyable as well.

Evangelion at the beach!

You're previous, brief, comment literally mentioned media fear mongering - apparently it was imaginary media fear mongering tied to an imaginary scenario involving millions of interactions between men and woment and only two rapes (not sure how media fear mongering ties into an imagined hypothetical.)

You are all over the road bud.

I'm saying that it's not media that's brainwashed women into believing some Rape bogeyman exists - Imaginary scenario or not.

It's that every single woman personally knows someone(s) who has been raped/roofied/sex assaulted/groped etc. and they don't need media hype to come to the conclusion that being raped in any environment is always a possibility. This is a very sad fact that women live with every single day.

Not sure how you perceived that as an accusation that you don't believe in Rape

Most of the "fearmongering" is actually women talking about their experiences.

When media fearmongers Rape, it's mostly by informing the public about rapists being sentenced to very light sentences, or rapists facing no jail time, or violent rapists being released.

Either that or they outright victim blame and discuss what someone was wearing, where they were, who they were with etc, basically inferring that if she was safely at home under a man's protection, it wouldn't be possible for her to be raped - so look at all the safety she threw away to be reckless (outside without a male partner) and have fun (literally existing while being a woman walking sex organ waiting to be claimed).
