Honestly people like that guy are idiots. There could be all the evidence in the world, but if one nut job blog post agrees with them they say aha! I found the evidence!

I’m told that India and Pakistan loved this setup, and still celebrate the arbitrary line to this day.
While I agree with your sentiment, the issue is that there are actual consequences to not paying them. Ultimately up to 15% of your wages could be garnished, and your credit score will be tanked. Good luck getting a car or home loan after that.
Heck yes, hit half my protein goal in one go
As someone who is quite left, I find myself less radically left than many on Lemmy. My beliefs basically fall exactly with Bernie Sanders, which is more left than probably 95% of the entire country, but that isn’t left enough for some people.
Man you don’t even know, we probably have immortal mice at this point
Lolll soaking.
Spot on though. The Mormon church has connections and infinite money, rivaling the Catholic Church in terms of wealth (and only increasing by the year). Their current estimated value is over 200 billion, in real estate, land, and investments. They own significant holdings in farmland all over the country including 1% of the entire landmass of Florida.
Historically speaking, the church already went to war against the United States, and attempted to assassinate a governor (unsuccessfully). 1800’s Mormons were nuts.
Obligatory note - I grew up Mormon. I don’t recommend joining the church. Their beliefs are objectively incorrect and oftentimes harmful. They have a cool history though.
How does voting work when this happens? Like, let’s say R’s control the Senate 51-50, but this guy suddenly dies. Is the Senate now split on votes?
A far shorter list would be the few that are not vulnerable
Sometimes I really don’t know if these posts are serious.
You aren’t going to get drone striked. There isn’t going to be a civil war.
Chill yo
While I understand what you mean, we also have to recognize that doing that would 100% give trump the election. Splitting the votes is not what we want to do.
Exactly. This makes me feel good! We’re the good guys!
Overall not helpful
I know someone who got it at 17. That said, the only reason it happened was because of connections. Usually, even if it gets approved at 16, you basically have to get in line, and that will take 2-3 years before you can actually get the surgery.
That’s how it was for my friend a few years ago at least.
But if it were, we would be ready to throw him under the bus in a heartbeat. Bad behavior is bad behavior. We’re not in a cult
Yeah honestly space x is rocking it because of the immense talent of the team that exists there. They do over 100 successful launches per year now. It has transformed the space industry as humanity has ever known it. That’s fucking cool.
I think you’re right. The asteroid literally kamikaze’d itself so the analogy actually works quite well
Let’s say both then. Both the US and China are surveillance states, and that makes them both bad.
Btw just so you are aware, there is some underlying animosity toward people who defend China here. Usually people who defend China are just trying to deflect and try to say things like “BUT America does bad things!” While trying to make it seem like that somehow absolves China of genocide and mass surveillance.
The hard part for those people to grasp is that Americans are usually happy to say yes, America sucks. Any country that engages in those actions sucks. Diehard tankies on the other hand are incapable of seeing flaws in China/Russia/whatever country they feel the need to defend.
Wait, I don’t get it. Are you implying you believe that the population of the US is only 37.5 million?
