Thanks for the warning, please tell me it has been removed at this point

Interesting. Im looking at how to tell the difference and I think you're right, they do seem to be more like the Japanese type. Thanks, the more I know.

Oh, my parents house still has chestnut trees that we get chestnuts from in like mid fall

Hmm, so going deep see diving would be a bad idea...

While I have a pfp I also have it so I don't see anyone's pfp unless ik on their profile, and at that point it doesn't matter. It just feels like clutter when I see It.

A mans Wang Jangler is special and it has to be his own to wang jangle

I think the channel "You Suck at Cooking" is a great channel. It's funny, has a nice wide variety, and he usually tries to keep the recipies practical enough that people can do them at home.

No, but if its an argument I might look at some other comments to see if their being purposely obtuse, if they are having this argument with anyone else, or if they are just filled with bad takes. I won't upvote or downvote those though.

As a teacher, I will say that my administration is constantly telling us to limit the number of kids in the hall, especially during the last period of the day. I let my kids go pretty much whenever but I do try to follow a two person in the hall rule. Some people absolutely abuse the right to go to the bathroom and wander the entire period or whatever. It's usually pretty easy to discern who needs to actually use the bathroom and I tend to take it easy on them but I have rules to follow too. I really would prefer to just let my kids go and I dont care that much about if they talk a bit with friends but they can be so irresponsible and just leave for 40 mins, or go smoke weed in the bathroom (it's really common in my school) or whatever.

While a vpn is never a bad thing, no you don't need a vpn if you are watching debrid sources. Your ISP will see you connect to your debrid but it won't see the vídeos you're watching or anything like that. All Debrid (At least Real Debrid, the service many use) sources are encrypted and wont be picked up.

Yea but those other countries are different, for the vast majority of SUCCESSFUL multi-party systems they are proprtionaly represented, this can be done in multiple ways, like having districts with multiple representatives unlike in the US where each district gets 1. Generally, to make those successful, though, there needs to be a pooling of the votes and an actual representation instead of the winner take all system America has. If you want to learn more about the natural gravitation that first past the post voting has towards 2 party's watch the video above or look up Duverger's Law, the law in political science explaining how this system gravitated towards 2 parties over time. You can also just do research on first past the post voting and see how this is just one of its downsides.

Also, you asked a question, I (and some others) answered the question, and you are lashing out in a really just rude way. You apparently didn't know about this affect, which is fine, but you are unable to actually listen, internalize, and consider out answers without just responding that we are just spreading propaganda without any evidence as to why your belief might be right. I want third parties to win, I am just also aware that our current political system simply favors a Two Party System.

I'm sorry to say that they simply don't. The way our voting system works, there is no chance that a third party will gain enough traction to actually win without something insane happening. There is a reason that our system naturally drifted towards 2 parties. I would love it if our voting system actually made it so third parties had a serious chance of winning but for that to happen you need to get a huge portion of voters to switch to that same third party, and they aren't going to do that. I know you want to believe that it's possible that a third party can just win it all but for them to win you would basically have to flip an entire party. The crazy thing about that is, if somehow that were to happen, if you got every Democrat to vote green this upcoming election cycle, the parties would just shift from being Republican / Democrat to Republican / Green. That wouldn't happen because there is no shot in hell of it because the vast majority of people aren't going to vote third party because they want to prevent a split vote, but even if it did it would pretty quickly turn back into 2 parties.

Here is a helpful video 12 years ago that shows how this sort of voting leads towards a 2 party system. https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

Fucking hell, do you really expect for one of the third parties to actually get 50% of total voters? Third parties have occasionally done alright in recent years but alright for a third party isn't even close to winning, if they won a state it would be a HUGE deal. The current system pushes against third parties because the risk isn't worth potentially splitting the votes to most voters. There has to be an actual change to how we vote to make voting for third parties viable.

No, even with the 2 cups of sugar per gallon it seems to make sweetend tea it still isn't super saturating the mixture. It might make it take longer to dissolve but it's not because the tea is fully saturated. They could put 4 cute per gallon and it still wouldn't be fully saturated, even when cold.

I mean it would be inconvenient but they would still dissolve, they aren't super saturating sweetened tea in the south.

You split the vote. If you would have voted for one of the parties but you instead vote for a third party, third parties are not going to win in this day and age and your vote can no longer support whichever of the two parties you prefer. If enough members of one party does that (because they have simmilar views), the party that doesn't have some of their voters voting for a third party gains an advantage. It's kinda dumb but it's also why it was inevitable that this voting system would become 2 party.

Dude, that is not the way to talk to someone if they are just trying to understand. They were raised in a capatilist country and were taught capatilism is the best. They are trying to expand their horizons and the way you responded will just make them think that we're all a bunch of assholes. Even if you wanted them to dig deep and find out why they care for capatilism that is not the way to do it. This is how we accomplish nothing but antagonism.

I saw some chat about just voiding it, only black pixels everywhere, I'm liking that idea

Look, I'm a good person to other Christians so I'm a good person.

Well, I'm a good person to other white Christians.

Well, I'm a good person to other white catholics.

Well, I'm a good person to other white catholics who are at least middle class and who also agree with me politically.

Well, I'm a good person to other white catholics who are at least middle class and who also agree with me politically to their face while talking to them.

Well, I'm still a good person, God said so.

Well my pastor said God said so...
