The amount of bafflement people express at that statement is ludicrous. People discuss it like she’s speaking a made up language.

It’s that one-legged motherfucker Ahab.

I mean, all the Ark of the Covenant is is a box that holds the “original” (oldest version of the) Torah. So…sure, it existed. If I write a novel and put it in a cigar box and say it’s super special and has magical powers, the box and the book exist while the magic powers probably don’t.

To be fair, this wackjob seems to think we can’t build that sort of structure today. They should probably get out more.

The second one, plus the prolactin helps me fall asleep.

Man, it’s pretty sad my first thought was “did I miss an article about this?”

Buy several really good pizzas and share them around with whoever is hungry.

The preferred demonym (preferred by me) is “Lemmunists,” or “Lemmunistas” if you’re nasty.

Hey, here’s a thought: spend a couple minutes thinking about why people are upset. Until you’ve done that, take your own advice and shut the fuck up.

Plenty of democrats are concerned about his capacity and are saying there should be another nominee. Not random people, members of congress. If they’re not settled on Biden maybe you should be the one shutting the fuck up.

Also, dude could easily keel over any day between now and November. If he was a healthy 60-something year old people might be less concerned. But a candidate who has a decent chance of dying before the election is a bad candidate.

They mention transoceanic travel, not aliens. Their mistake is assuming the popular presentation of Columbus being the first transatlantic traveller is accepted as fact by historians.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, parallel development of the swastika as a symbol is very possible. It is also possible that individuals or small groups travelled much greater distances than we typically imagine and shared information such as symbols with others around the world.

Por que no los dos?

Ross Perot got 18.9% of the popular vote in 1992. While he didn’t get any electoral votes he likely prevented a second HW Bush term.

I think this is different, these are condos and it sounds like all residents are being assessed fees for overdue maintenance.

Just to clarify your second statement, gaslighting is when person A tries to convince person B that person B did not see/hear/experience something that person B did in fact see, hear, or experience.

In OP’s situation, their girlfriend might be gaslighting OP if she texted “I’m getting an Uber home, see you in a bit” and then got mad and insisted she had told OP to meet her at the door.

All that said, I will echo many others in this thread and say that just because it isn’t gaslighting doesn’t mean OP is in a healthy relationship. OP, please insist on relationship counseling at a minimum.

Having the FBI arrest half of them and hold them indefinitely is within his authority, he just has to argue they’re terrorists. He could say every member of congress who made statements defending the January 6 insurrection is a terrorist and send them to gitmo. He’s more likely to come after the squad though.

Cowardice, the same thing that stopped him from packing the court on his first day.

Start your own party. Start small: county commissions, sheriffs, and the like in low-population counties. Build a deep bench of people who have experience in legislative, executive, and judicial positions. Make the core principles about workers rights and make sure constituents are holding elected officials accountable to those principles.

So the NY judge should put him in prison, in gen pop.

“Costumers” make the costumes. Clearly Mr Mathers was providing craft services for a movie being shot in Detroit.

I can’t remember who said it, but the quote “it is no sign of mental health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick world” was being thrown around when I was a kid in the nineties, and it’s not like things have improved much since then.
