The problem is the Senate filibuster.

Don't you find it odd that there is always some sort of republican scheme or "problem" keeping the democrats from getting anything meaningful done?

At what point are the Republicans political strategy masterminds that can never be beat, even when not in power?

Or

At what point do we realize that corporate democrats don't actually want to win or play dirty politics to beat the obviously cheating Republicans?

Why is it that only the Republicans can "play dirty" to advance their agenda? Why can't the democrats, who are supposed to be fighting for the people against the Republicans, ever get anything major done?

You don't need to think too hard to realize that it comes down to class and that American politics is smoke and mirrors for us and power for the corrupt/elite and lawmaker/lobbyist class. The corporate democrats (the only ones who have had any power in the last 3 decades) haven't done fuck all for us. They are a pressure escape to keep us from realizing the system is bullshit all the way down and burning it to the ground.

Don't get me wrong, Republicans are still the biggest cancer in the system. I'm just tired of democrats getting power and then not using it to make the middle class' life better consistently over time.

The whole system is broken and I'm done hearing about how hard democrat politicians have been trying for the past several decades when things continually get worse and the republican party remains the minority.

Yes. And if someone asks me to guess the length of an object I will give centimetres, and refuse to translate to inches and their stupid fractions.

Some proud neckbeard shit right here. "Fuck communicating effectively with people. They don't even know I only use the metric system!"

But yeah, got em... I guess.

Never forget that cops exist only to protect private property and the interests of the wealthy. The sooner we stop bringing anything to the cops, the better. Using their "services" legitimizes and lends more power to them.

Do not be friends with cops

Do not fuck cops

Do not wave to cops in your neighborhood

Do not acknowledge cops in public

Never forget that they, day after day, choose to be cops and they love it. The second amendment is our only option at this point with cops. An unarmed population will be stupidly easy to control by the overly armed police force. Make sure you get something that can pierce through plates.

Literally the strategy for every act of corruption right now

All so the minority party can still play politics and be relevant. Would be an easy win for dems, but they're allergic to winning or executing policy that means they would continue to win. It's all a big clownshow failed-state made to look like we're not just serfs that toil our lives away for the profits of people who would just as soon kill us all as let go of their massive portion of global wealth.

If you want something on the EQ2 end of the spectrum give Horizon XI a try. It is a private server for FFXI, square's first mmo. The amount of work put into it is incredible for a private server. Lots of devs and is very polished.

And then bought the fucking horse armor apparently.

Yeah because fuck poor people with addictions, am I right fellas? /s

Country music awards?

Andrew Tate is a pedo.

Not likely but could be that the bank is compromised. Not that it makes much difference, but is it a major bank? Do you have cards from other banks that don't get stolen regularly? Do you use a specific local atm regularly? Always tug on the card scanners at ATMs and gas pumps to ensure a skimmer isn't being used. If there is a skimmer you will likely be able to pull it off or it will wiggle in a strange way, letting you know it's not "stock"

Don't save your cards in browsers anywhere.

Or you know, the workers work for themselves instead of the billionaire class. Too much nuance though right?

This is the generation of adults who, when younger, were likely candidates to have been in the pic of Steam where everyone was "boycotting" mw2 but also like 80% of them were playing it anyway. They just grew up and got their own netflix accounts lol

The gaming industry has seen this sentiment of "I'm going to get you with my wallet, billion dollar corporation!" for decades now and it falls flat every. single. time. No commentary on whether that's good or bad, just an observation I'm sure most of us have made who have been around long enough.

Governments: starting wars that most people don't want

People: starving because governments are at war and don't give a shit about them

You: "Hah, fuck those people because governments are at war. They get what they deserve, those people who only want to eat."

Imagine the amount of ignorance of history that goes into a comment like this. Do you really believe an entire continent of countries/people support or even give a fuck about Russia when they're worried they're going to starve?

The victim blaming in this thread is atrocious. All because of a perception that a few Africans support Russia on Twitter.

Lmao this is such a clown show. As a infosec professional I would have been fired so long ago in the private sector for allowing stupidity to get this far with regards to critical data leakage. As another user pointed out, we have had the technology for decades to prevent this kind of thing, but apparently the geriatrics at the DOD haven't figured it out yet. Bunch of clowns with their CEH looking at each other for instruction.

The fact that you think Twitter is reality is telling of your mental capacity/age. I'm glad to have participated in your crippling levels of butthurt, though. Look at you frothing lmao

I'm not here to argue with you. I'm here to point out your blatant xenophobia and how wrong it is. Have a nice day.
