Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

  • I said that was the reason they left, because it was a huge debacle that nobody could miss when it happened.

    You didn't miss it, but apparently, you were completely incapable of parsing what was going on. Which is unsurprising coming from someone who bootlicks dictators and thinks that's leftism. :)

    instead of of making up shit

    lmao, coming from someone who's claiming the 196 move was over .world not respecting neopronouns, when respecting neopronouns is still a rule on the .world 196 and has been since day 1 of the move.

  • Don't believe I've ever blocked you, lmao

  • So first it was you asserting that .world 196 doesn't respect neopronouns, then it turned into .world has a tendency to have people who don't respect neopronouns, and now it's "I have a vibe that 196 doesn't respect pronouns, but I don't actually use 196".

    btw, are you still banned from the 196 on Blahaj? Of course, you don't use it. :)

  • it’s not that hard to have basic levels of respect for people using neo pronouns, and if they’re trolling then let them slip up and get banned for that.

    Okay? Where does that play into your slander about the .world 196 being filled with people who don't respect neopronouns?

    it’s just an observed pattern of behavior that .world has a lot of cis people who misgender people when they disagree with them like it’s an argument

    So now it's not the .world 196, it's .world in general.

  • it’s not centralized, .world is considerably bigger and way more conservative, like it even has a splinter /c/196 populated with everyone who thought neo pronouns and basic levels of respect were too hard

    It's funny that you still feel the need to spread this slander. Almost like you're still upset that you spent months defending a blatant troll using an old conservative canard.

  • "Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!"

    I still remember that even though it's been over a decade since I last read the book. XD

  • It's a constant fight against taking that one last step.

  • The US just can’t adopt changes. It will most probably die as an XVIII century country with a pile of juridical clutches and props.

    RIP

  • I also think he could have closed Guantanamo.

    Apparently you don't remember how that went either.

    And I even think he could have bailed out the people that lost their houses and not the people that owned the houses.

    Oh, sure, just pass an executive order for it, right?

    I still think he should have nationalized the banks that failed and renamed them to “Bank A” and “Bank B.”

    Jesus Christ man.

    Crazy huh.

    In desire, no; in perceptions of what the president has the power to do, yes.

  • If Obama had wanted it, he could have done it.

    Lord.

  • California and New York have GDP’s above most other countries in the world.

    But Cali and New York do not reap the tax revenue of a country with the GDP of their size; they can only reap part of it, both because Federal taxes remove a portion of that taxable income, and because states are necessarily more limited in their options for taxation than national governments.

    It's possible, don't get me wrong, but significantly more difficult.

    Tell me why I shouldn’t blame the democrats for:

    Doing Obama care half assed, when something like 80% people wanted a public option.

    Bruh, do you not remember how Obamacare was passed?

  • I oppose breakfast foods for a different reason. Pancakes for dinner, and damn the haters!

  • only in Africa (see the answer in AskHistorians)

    While my answer was related to Africa, as that's where I'm most familiar with a paucity of study and an excess of material, I'd bet even money that there are plenty of other non-European (and outside of the Americas) collections that have yet to be fully catalogued, especially in the Islamic World and India. I just couldn't swear to it or name any regions in particular to look into.

  • Not sure about the wisdom of making the move to the US in current circumstances, but the Green Card Lotto is where many start.

  • Merit is generally the superior of the two. Seniority should only really be preferred if:

    • The performance of the task at hand is more dependent on pre-established connections and the like - ie a very knowledgeable and charismatic but new diplomat might actually be a worse choice for a given job than a rather boring and mid-tier diplomat who nonetheless has a lot of long-standing relationships in the area.
    • There is an issue of systemic rules in an institution where merit is not always the top concern, or not easily and clearly discerned - such as legislative committee appointments. "The best person is the most qualified for the top job" is a nice thought, but raises questions of "How do you figure out who is the best person?" and "The people didn't send the best person, they sent this fellow to represent their interests."
