No no. Abrego Garcia clearly had “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. That was no photoshop.

Pro-tip. Blame it on the dems. His base would eat that shit up. Doesn’t matter that it makes no sense.

Why don’t we just make one unifying standard? That can’t possibly go wrong right?

That’s because that’s how you see the world. It’s hard for you to comprehend someone else not thinking the same way you do.

I’d agree, but libs aren’t constantly thumping their chest that their choice is the infallible god-king of wealth and economics and can do no wrong. Also I feel if this happened under a dem president the news would cover it and would include deeper information about why. That being said, I’d predict that when the next dem president is voted in and this needs to be addressed, we’ll get much more information about why it matters.

If you tell sometime ten minutes, they might put it under for only a couple minutes and call it good enough. Tell them 30 and they’re more likely to hit 10+ minutes.

And this is something the MAGAts lack the fundamental capacity to begin to understand. Right wing propaganda doesn’t even need to address this and spin it to a positive for trump because it would simply confuse their peons.

The one way Bernie could still win the Dem nomination in 2016.

This. Drill holes in the bottom of the outside ring and top of the inside ring. Though I’d recommend a much smaller gap if possible. If not possible, adding rock in such a way as to act as baffling would be good too. Metal louvers or ducting might work. The key is to get the air to heat up between the rings so when it exits the inner ring it burns quick and more completely.

That’s if it’s perfectly weighted. If it’s weighted to roll a 6, it might not always land on 6. This would lower the chance of rolling a 7 depending on what the overall probability profile is on the weighted die.

E: consider a die weighted to favor 6. Standard dice have opposite faces add up to 7. If this die favors 6 to the extent it never rolls a 1, any time a 6 is rolled on the second die can never result in a total roll of 7.

E2: I has the dumb. Apologies.

But I’m a hooker

I, too, am in a mixed attractiveness relationship. Though I’m on the opposite side as you. All I can say is if my wife was receiving those comments, she did not show it. After all these years I think her family and friends accept me.

But in all seriousness, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you are happy, then that’s all that matters.

Did you read the same comment as me? I read that as “why would the powers that be wilfully give up the path to that power?”

They’re not saying “obey”. They’re saying this shouldn’t be a surprise.

From my example, the part where they claim to have not made the argument is what I’d consider gaslighting. My understanding of gaslighting is any attempt to make someone question reality. So the reality is they definitely said one thing. When that goes wrong, they claim to have never said it. It’s a tool of someone who manipulates.

Except literally not the echo chamber. The intent is to get the message to those not yet brainwashed so they don’t end up in an echo chamber. You can still directly and genuinely rebut their dumbassery. That’s not “bad faith”. The fact that I know the idiot won’t be swayed by the truth, doesn’t change the fact it’s the truth. Addressing idiotic points explicitly is not bad faith.

Then they say they trust parents to make decisions on vaccines when what they mean is they are anti-vax.

Online debate can help in niche situations. It’s not about convincing the person toy you are directly opposing. It’s about getting the counter arguments in a bigger forum so less brainwashed people might be able to avoid getting brainwashed.

Gaslighting could take the form of saying “my political team would never do [the thing].” Their political team subsequently does [the thing]. Then claiming they never said the original statement. Sometimes they’re even so fucking stupid as to leave that comment visible so you can just screenshot it and ask “this you?”

… ask me how I know.
