Afaik the hurricane categories go up to 10, but the category stops mattering after a certain level because there's no construction standards that can withstand the winds once hurricanes are on that level or above.

TBF her daddy was very protective of sex pests too, which is how the Duggars stayed relevant for too long.

I'm definitely not a swiftie, but she does have some catchy music, and Shake it off was the default song for getting my kids out of bad moods and over bad days.

I also used to think she was a catty bitch for the way she was caught on camera making a face when Selena Gomez was with Bieber. However since then I've heard her speak about things she cares about and I appreciate her passion and that she's against the things I'm generally against, she definitely seems to care and motivate her swifties to care about the right things, and that makes me tend to support her.

"Would somebody think of those poor wealthy Christian whites?!?"

Only in the minds of conservatards.

Why do you want a broader conflict?

Also the formal Iranian military wouldn't last more than a week, for fuck sakes they're still flying the same F-14's we sold the Shah in the 70's.

There's not a single formal military on the planet that can stand up to the US military, and that's why even China backs off when we tell them we're done fucking around when China is playing silly games out near Taiwan and Japan.

Iran doesn't want this smoke, Iran wants us to do something stupid that will make us look like the bullies so that they can play victim to the wider world, just like they and Hamas got Israel to do, and Biden is much too politically savvy to fall for it.

*US: bomb Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria who were the sources of the attacks on US personnel in Jordan.

I believe you forgot the key context.

Then they'll proceed to masturbate furiously to their Confederate flags.

Me be drunk: "Yo, if you want beef yo bring the ruckus, cause Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothin' ta fuck wit'" Proceeds to fall on face.

Y'all Qaida

Vanilla ISIS

Yes, because there's far too many shitheads that would Matthew Shepard OOP.

There's just too many cooks...

Quakers are also who gave us the "puritanical work ethic" that plagues our society as we try to adapt to a more convenient era of work.

I agree, but that's also what I'm trying to say is that the natural scale of the population increase will still scale out to be a higher slavery total than back then, but that's total numbers, the percentages would be vastly different, like during the civil war era slaves were about 9.6% of the population of the US, but because of slavery not being tracked so closely now we couldn't get an accurate total for slavery in the modern era, and there would be nitpicking about what counts as slavery and what does not.

Most guards could not give a shit less, they're there to do their jobs and go home, so if you're not going to volunteer some other person will, or they'll just take whomever did volunteer. Sure you might run into some dickhead guard that demands it but that guard is just a symptom of our broken system and is most likely operating in a manner that would get them in trouble if the right people are notified.

But as I said to another person who replied to me that then you have prisons like Angola, which are basically just concentration camps, they staff the place with brutal guards purposely to keep the place viciously violent, and every single one of the prisons like Angola should be shut down with the staff prosected.

So it really depends on the prison, but the majority are of the more mellow variety, although overpopulation makes the more mellow prisons drastically less mellow.

That's being a bit Hyperbolic, and these aren't the types of prisons or jails where you're stuck in a cell all day, that's your misconception, the only people who are locked up like that are the ones that have proven themselves too dangerous to be around others, or at least that's how it's supposed to be when our prison system is working correctly, and the only prisons where that's consistently their prison existence is the SuperMax prisons, because again, those people are too dangerous to let roam without supervision.

Mostly it's just a chance to get out from behind the walls and the fences, sure they'd rather be free, but I'm sure we'd all rather they not do shut that gets them put in prison, and regardless of your feelings towards prisons people who commit crimes, real crimes, belong there, or some form of prison that emphasizes rehabilitation.

This feels like one of those right wing memes that could go either way, but let's break it down like this Uncle Ben and Aunt Jamima are both domestic servants, do you think that's an appropriate mascot for a company? Do you think black folks want them as some of their oldest icons?

Land of lakes also has a stereotypically dressed native woman who probably wouldn't dress like that at all even back in the day.

I get that most people couldn't give a shit either way but when you use your brain to think about how messed up presumably white owned companies are for using slaves and genocided people as their logos or mascots is pretty fucked.

But hey you're not here for an insightful discussion, you're here to get those hate clicks.
