Sorry about the downvotes, but I agree with you. I like everything that Biden has done. But we need to be more progressive with economic policies and reigning in corporations. We need better government oversight on dark money in politics and I don't see Biden doing that.

The climate crisis should be the absolute highest priority in our news and governments. We are at risk of entire ecosystems collapsing. People are just ignoring it. We're actively on course towards apocalyptic conditions and our biggest concerns are "what about the businesses?".

That's foul....but handy. Ive only had one sinus infection and the only thing that made me aware of it was the intense headache. Yeah, sounds like you have them often....I don't know how you do it. The vertigo was the absolute worst.

I don't know why people listen to him. He acts like he's talking to children. It's so dismissive.

Check out the Podcast Knowledge Fight. They've been going over Tucker Carlson's podcast...and holy fuck, Carlsons gone off the deepend. Now that he don't have a team of writers, you get to see this dingus's true colors, and trust me, they are dark.

We want a bidet so bad after our visit to France recently, God is it nice. Me and the wife played Remnant 1 and we're okay with it...it felt a little empty. How's the second one?

You also don't enunciate someone as "som-on-e" either. Or do you? I can't be sure at this point.

Ugh.... unfortunately it appears so. How's your day going?

Hate-triot. It feels a little ridiculous that that even needed to be spelled out for you. It's going to be a wonderful Monday it seems....fml

It looks like the dude is sniffing a line of coke off of his arm....that, or sniffing it. Looks exhausted either way.

I don't know why....but I get the feeling that there's a weird lookin' fuckin' cat back there. Ma!

No, but it's scummy as fuck, and it's interesting that an American is pushing Chinese talking points.

I think people are pretty well aware at this point that social engineering, on a macroscale, is extremely effective at changing people's views (albeit slowly). Look at what happened with Qanon, look how many people supported that. That was the dumbest thing I've ever seen, and people are STILL backing it even after it's been proven to not only be a sham, but run by a pedophile out of Southeast Asia. Imagine the damage that can be done by a disinformation or social engineering campaign backed by one of the largest nations in the world.

We are currently in a culture war - the implications of it could change everyone's lives in the next couple of decades if we aren't careful.

I call them cooking binges. I do it with dumplings a large scale meal prep stuff. Got any final images?

Personally, I just can't stand playing Larian Studio games. It's like playing with a vindictive DM. It was especially noticable in Divinity: OS2. I played as the skeleton guy who was permanently disguised. I'll encounter a random group of enemies.....and somehow, they just know to use heal on my undead guy to hurt him? He's disguised, what the fuck? Every enemy whether man, animal, or demon knew every weakness, knew which players had the lowest weaknesses, and would exploit the absolute fuck out of them. Exactly like a vindictive DM would.

Oooh, that's a really good point. Yeah, this shouldnt be in atheistmemes.

I tend to agree. The name implies toxicity and hatred.

In an effort to be better, I would suggest that it stays gone.

...but... they're not.

1.) Background checks are only required at federally licensed gun dealers, however only 40% of dealers in the US are licensed. Guns sold at gun shows, flea markets, etc arent subject to that requirement. And only 20 US states have added requirements to the background checks...not even half...so your claim that this has already been implemented is not exactly true, or should be HEAVILY caveated.

2.) Only 19 states have red flag laws (which would come up in background checks).

3.) Only 10 states have withholding periods.

So....yeah. A lot of room for improvement. That's why I don't get arguments against gun control. It makes us safer, it statistically prevents A LOT of homicides/suicides, and generally just make sense.

Yes, but there's evidence that basic gun control laws work.

1.) Universal Background Checks 2.) Gun holding periods 3.) Banning under 21 purchases (I'd be okay with it if you have someone to co-sign with you - that they are responsible as well).

Like you'd prevent something like one in four homicides. And people still fight against this. This is what it means to stand against gun control.

Honestly, I wish we had a gun registry just like we have a car registry as it would prevent people transferring ownership to criminals and people that would otherwise fail background checks.

Out of curiosity, why are you against not a fan of gun control?

What kind of gun control laws do you think people are trying to pass that you would consider unnecessary or dangerous?

You even got the right amount of Na-Na's in there. That makes happy...

Hell. Books 4 & 5 of Dune are pretty much an entirely different story. I couldn't bring myself to finish 5 or even start 6. The first three books were legendary though.
