should’ve made it a 177.6% tax, at least

I don’t understand all the confusion and/or guffawing.

Bloodsport is the most apropos way to celebrate the founding of America.

I was making a reference to inflation and overall food prices as a result of the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, not the cost of organic vs canned foods.

We’re way past that, at this point.

If everything in my nearest grocery store costs $5, and fuel costs $5 a gallon, and the cost of everything else is going up, then I really don’t have much of a choice of where I get my calories.

Making ends meet is extremely difficult right now for a lot of people. I don’t think it’s helpful to have a response like, “but have the poors tried eating less?”

I’d door-knock for her.

Sheesh, and I haven’t canvased for a candidate in almost 20 years.

They were rhetorical questions. You weren’t supposed to answer them.

You have terrible reading comprehension.

🤦‍♂️

FTA:

In earlier Instagram messages, he’d told us his operation had been directly commissioned for multiple projects by Iranian officials.

So… What’s your point? What were the nature of the projects? Your linked article doesn’t say.

Btw, are you an American? Do you pay taxes to the American fascist regime (or one of its coalition partners)? Yes? Then you directly fund the melting of school children overseas. Do you drive a gas-fueled vehicle? Yeah? Welp, 0.9¢ per gallon of that goes straight to frying little brown boys and girls in Gaza.

If that’s not more concerning to you than feigning moral supremacy over some dudes making Lego videos then perhaps your vision is a bit tinted by a different kind of supremacy.

but is this video being put out by the same regime that […]

It is not, actually. The group behind this is mostly a collective of around 9-10 Iran-based, Gen Z creators operating independent of the IRGC and/or official government of Iran. Their group/org name is “Explosive Media”.

Lumping everyone in Iran as somehow part of “the regime” is kinda a shitty thing to do.

That, and Trump’s ACA/Medicaid cuts are estimated to cause upwards of more than 50,000 premature deaths in the US, so you’re also objectively wrong if going by numbers, alone.

In Trump’s first term, U.S.-led coalition forces killed more than 29,000 non-combatants in Iraq and Syria.

But sure, the government fighting a CIA-backed, armed rebellion is worse than the government that–checks notes–drops tomahawk missiles on other countries’ elementary schools.

I say gelassenheit as I’m not superstitious and don’t like to propagate superstitious sentiment. I’m also not German.

But not to vote, huh?

Priorities…

If Thrawn is canon, Mara Jade is canon. I don’t make the rules. ╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮

And “a boot” is “about” in Canadian. 😜

To add a funny one:

(Hint for Americans: the joke makes more sense if you pronounce it with a British accent)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe, but I think sociopaths have a real “ok, well fuck you, too, then. I’ll do/get it myself!” mentality when it comes to God.

And yet you will never hear the 2A crowd chant the implied variant of their favorite mantra, “AI doesn’t kill people; people kill people.” 🙄

The NDAs and TS/SCI labels are going to obfuscate the decision chain to the point that culpability won’t be able to be established at all.
