It's confirmed that there seemed to be a rumor about a meeting to prepare for a sale of lucasfilm and all production of anything not already almost completed is ceased. The only question is whether the buyer is Lucas.
We should all assume that even if it's true, he could be compromised. It seems like every time it appears someone good is taking over a thing they cuck.
For real though, if Truth Social activated federation, that might actually make it worth caring about in the least. Without federation, it's just another crappy twitter clone.
Let's say your credit card company calls and says they're freezing your card and you can't spend more money on credit. What happens then? Well, you can decide you're going to default and not pay your bills, but for me, that happened, and what I did wasn't defaulting, I cut my phone, I cut my Internet, I cut my food bill, and then I was able to make my critical payments and pay my debts.
Unfortunately, that's the thing with debt: it feels great when you're racking it up but feels like shit when you're paying for it.
The most evil thing is when people go "so it'll hurt so let's never balance the budget or pay down the debt ever". Because there's no such thing as never in this case. If we don't do it, our kids will have to do it, or our kids kids. This is why I call going into debt the way we do "selling our kids into slavery", because they have to work and suffer because we refuse to.
Whether we like it or not, when dealing with deficits as large as any given western country operates under, it is a requirement that not only should the spending be cut, but also that taxes rise. People don't want to pay higher taxes (I sure don't), but it's the consequence of excess government spending.
The most effective way to implement a tax immediately that would bring in the sort of revenue required that wouldn't be immediately dodged would be a sales tax. You could exempt many basics such as groceries, rent/homes, and bills for personal consumption, but leave it for everything else. In that way you can try to limit the immediate impact on people's essentials despite it being a broad tax. Such taxes do bring in massive revenue, which is good because that's what's required to get back to 0.
lol hey vice -- maybe you should be more concerned about yourself? Sounds like your entire industry of nonsense like this is about to get thanos snapped out of existence, maybe stop worrying so much about innocuous stuff like people liking a popular drink you don't like.
Because that's not what happened. This week it's now official that in 2016 Barack Obama had Donald Trump publicly investigated by the FBI with no probable cause to believe a crime had been committed.
For all the talk of "a threat to democracy", that's actually a threat to democracy. I mean, they tried to impeach Trump for less.
One reason why idgaf, a lot of anime is good for kids. Sure don't show them bible black, but a lot of anime has the message that if you work hard and you're a good person you'll succeed, and people who aren't good people or people who take shortcuts often end up in a bad place.
Considering that we know what they do to wrong thinkers, how could you possibly believe anything that's written in any of those journals anyway?
There were published studies showing that cigarettes didn't cause cancer because the cigarette companies were pushing the needle for their own benefit. Given the biggest power and money grab in the history of the world, this particular lobby is a lot stronger than the cigarette companies.
There's also a pain condition called Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome that is not well known but it causes heavy pain and vomiting and emergency room visits.
They aren't well-known, but they should be. Some people toke their entire lives and don't have a problem, but other people do have problems and because of the way people talk about pot nobody knows that the potential issues can come up.
I'm not invoking reefer madness here, it's more like "be fully aware of the things you put in your body". Pot isn't a magic spell, it's a drug with positive sides and negative sides.
"oh but the Fediverse will never become mainstream if we don't do this"
Literally don't care. My feed has so much awesome content from intelligent and creative and funny people I don't need a barrage of bore from a bunch of pre-programmed flesh robots. That doesn't add anything for me.
