Had to give a toast to my grandparents a few years ago. Why do they care that it is I who said it. It is so annoying.
Because they love you and it means more coming from you, you dick.

That's inflation.
Correct and inflating your money accomplishes the same thing as Taxing you, but is easier to sell to the public.

I guess you handled my objections well. Go on, make yourself less of a man and keep your races numbers in decline so capitalists are forced to import Muslims to replace us

Turning Trump into an N word has made him more appealing to N words.
now that Trump is a hard R person, he has surged to 24% with my people. https://youtu.be/yn7EHcAA8T4?si=Hp71E7Pkb02T127x
What next? Do the democrats attempt to cut Trumps balls off so he appeals to their core demographic of MTF Trans people?

Because I would rather endure 3 days of vasectomy pain than plausibly risk the girl I'm with having pregnancy pain for 9 months.
Just don't have sex bro
Pro vasectomy = pro life due to it virtually eliminating the need for abortion. Pre vasectomy sperm can be stored in a hospital freezer if kids are ever wanted.
Reducing the number of lives by preventing the existence of those life's is pro life?

I think I helped you as much as I could. This is not usually knowledge you get from.studying.
You just have to enjoy the journey of figuring it out, which will take years and in the end you will still have uncertainty no matter which side of the fence you come down . It doesn't get easier, though I would caution against being one of the outliers who does gain certainty. Those people are idiots

The proper response to 9/11 would have been to declare a cease fire with Al Qaida and the Taliban.
All I can say is thank God it happened in 2001. Literally every blamed only Osama and his group and liberals on TV were bad enough at that time appealing to people who were never bigoted towards Muslims to not be bigoted.
Anyway, fortunately the left and the right knew we needed blood and did what they needed.
If it happened today, the left would be protesting on colleges campuses to stop killing ISIS members because they use civilians as shields so they should get a free pass.

Before you invest too much energy in debating me. I want you to know I live in a blue state. Yes it is a shithole because it is a blue state.
I have zero effect on this elections outcome. I will walk in a vote for Trump but the vote might as well go into the trash, this state is solidly blue

Imagine just for one second that Trump truly had no intention of being a dictator or abusing his power - that his values and principals truly aligned with that of the constitution. When asked whether he intended to be a dictator, wouldn’t he just say “no, of course not” rather than, “nope, except for day one”?
That was quite obviously a reference to Biden doing a record amount of executive orders day 1. I think George Bush said it would be easier if he were a dictator and the left made similar statements that he was also about to genocide people and declare himself dictator. I know because I was a leftist then and was convinced he would cancel elections.
Wouldn’t he when having his hand held by sycophantic interviewers practically begging him to say he is not going to abuse power just agree with them rather than talking about how he may have to do the same thing because it was done to him?
I just saw an interview 5 minutes ago where he said he was going to be too focused fixing what is wrong with this country to have time for revenge.
No, but the people he is inspiring and whom he is most likely to surround himself with if he gets reelected are planning such types of things. A second Trump term will be nothing like the first.
I believe the heritage foundation is surrounding him with people and they have a controversial plan to keep Republicans competitive because we were recently and may still be on the verge of Republicans never being able to ever win another presidential election again. I forget the name of the heritage foundation plan. He looks like he is keeping vivek ramaswamy close. Vivek is a libertarian who enjoys nationalist rhetoric and opposed many of the fascist tactics used by Nikki Haley and DeSantis. With Haley the plan to eliminate online privacy and Desantis's plan to publicly name and shame leftist protestors who were pro hamas. Vivek is anti hamas but a proponent of free speech.
So he is likely going to be surrounded by libertarians, heritage foundation nation people and some boring VP pick. He is obviously using Roger stones playbook so it will be somebody like Marco Rubio, but not him.
The DOJ isn’t weaponized, this is a complete nonsense conspiracy theory right on par with 9/11 and Sandy Hook
I should have been more general. Lawfare is obviously taking place and my fear is that we are in a bind
Lawfare must be punished but if it is punished by engaging in it yourself than you risk turning us into a banana Republic where this ship goes on back and forth.
I think they will just push some policies to reform the justice system and a few rogue judges and lawyers will attempt to make a name for themselves but it will fizzle out quickly.
I just know that I cannot afford for Biden to get another term. I do think that the inflation we saw where only millionaires can afford to go to McDonalda will get worse and that things like Russia taking its ships off of Cuba to intimidate us will get worse if the Russians sense weakness.

I have tried praying, but never got anywhere. I’m gonna need more proof than just personal experiences.
I can understand that. God I felt was ignoring me so I prayed to Satan and the results were quicker. I promised him my undying loyalty for wisdom. A type of Faustian bargain.

It actually can be definitively proven by looking at Godel's version of the ontological argument. It will take you 2 years of full time study to understand the logic behind it though.
A much shorter path is just deciding to believe and see what happens. However if you can't force yourself and personally I couldn't either than you have to experience a kind of awakening.
Sometimes this can be accomplished with hallucinogenic drugs, particularly DMT. Once you take DMT, often times the veil of the world is lifted. If you realize the world is a veil the next logical step is belief in God.
I sense you are young and I wouldn't recommend drugs anyway. The alternative is to push yourself hard. Honestly the alternative is to experience a lot of trauma, but you have to do some self induced trauma and the only practical recommendation I can give is to push your body way too far. Past where your mind thinks you can go. Listen to Joe Rogan interview David Goggins. He beat the shit out of himself for year and seals are elite athletes in their own right.
The intense pain helps you see beyond the veil.
After you see beyond the veil, most people fall into a depression caused by an existential crisis. Just know that the pain is temporary in don't give up on this world.

I think the purpose of sex is to get somebody pregnant or to get a promotion at work. Unless you want a promotion I don't see why you would get a vasectomy

He is real. Now that you know that, I am not sure the information is helpful.
It doesn't necessarily mean an afterlife is real or that your values matter or that their is a such thing as justice or that he is of any use to you.
Knowing he is real is just step one though. Pray to him and see if he is the type of God to care about a random person's prayers. Ask him to guide you to him, if it is possible to be any closer to him than you are now

Also I find it depreciatingly funny that some of the allegations for Uyghur “human rights violations” aside from actual prisons are just widespread malpractices in the workplaces. Just help all of us, you don’t have to make it racial.
I have seen evidence of them forcing uygher women to marry non uygher men to wipe them out slowly, arrests for reading the Quran etc.
However I have seen how Muslims treat non Muslims in predominantly Islamic countries and I do not blame China for mitigating that risk, despite them denying it and despite how abhorrent most westerners find it

Dining ettiquete, where employees must be completely submissive to their bosses to the point there are tutorials on how to effectively overdrink and how to say stuff in a way that pleases your boss. This exists even in the research settings with one's higher ups. Here is a joke here: If Hawking was working in China, he would be demoted for not knowing how to give a toast!
This problem is rampant in most of Asia in general though western countries go too far in the other direction

About to read through but no. I definitely do not think I know China as well as you do. I definitely have more blind spots than you. I just think I have access to some information you don't, but obviously my knowledge of China pales in comparison to yours

If Trump get elected he will have his largest bankruptcy, The USA.

You defend China and I think they have a lot of issues.
I also find it odd that in America we shine a light on issues so they can be solved but in China you sweep them under the rug. Like with the uygher genocide or recently even how the tallest waterfall in China was shown to be a fraud.
I will start a thread with evidence later. Please examine it.
After you examine the thread, do nothing. You aren't safe fighting this. People are disappeared in China for even the most mild criticism. Look at Jack MA. Nobody has seen his face for a while.
Funny thing is MA never even criticized China but the thugs in government thought there was a possibility it could be interpreted as criticism so they disappeared him.
I hope you are anonymous on here. If you aren't anonymous. If you do not have freedom of speech in this space, then learn better opsec, start a new account and be free.
You are honestly not welcome here if you do not have the ability to speak freely.
Nobody wants you here if the o ly thing you are capable of is criticizing America but you are unwilling to criticize China either out of being a brainwashed NPC who thinks China is perfect while things crumble around you or because you have criticisms but lack the freedom or intellectual honesty to debate them.
I am willing to argue devil's advocate and defend China if you have the freedom to actually criticize your government.

I think we may see the supreme court rule on these things at some point to figure out who is correct here, but you are looking through a partisan lense. I miss democrats like Obama who could actually see things through a non partisan lense at times and see when a policy or interpretation of law, while beneficial now could result in disaster down the road.
You remember when Obama banned the ability for Americans to sue foreigners and both sides of the aisle were passed at him?
Fo you think there is a single person like that left in the Democratic party?
It's just "This hurts Trump so it is the correct interpretation of the law" instead of Obama's reasoned approach.

@ebuc
is the case of returning boomerang of Trump and MAGA cult followers comes to mind -----
I know that you think people who vote for Trump are in a cult, but have you ever considered the opposite?
Have you considered that those who would see their paychecks lose purchasing power to the point where they can't even afford fast food anymore and still vote for Biden is a cult?
Have you considered those who are actively promoting the moral decay of society might be the cult members?
Have you stopped to consider that perhaps there are people scared of the escalating tensions with Russia where the Russians are literally now playing chicken by sending boats just miles off of the Florida shore, maybe just miss when Trump was in office and the world was at peace.

Why would you want to fight it? There is no reason
The concept of cosmic insignificance can free you up in a lot of ways. It's very helpful with anxiety for example.
Also I have some internal drive to know. I don't think I would be happy ignoring that drive, but certainly there is nothing wrong with choosing the opposite
