He potentially could've caused LOST votes if she took him in. He is very unpopular.

I never even saw it. In fact i never even heard of it till right now. I stopped watching Disney Star Wars stuff after season 2 of the mandalorian. They were pumping out WAY too much content which made the quality of everything sink. After there were multiple shows running concurrently none of it seemed special anymore

There's nothing about small-time landlords that's worse than the evil that many people contribute to the world through their jobs like being a banker or manager of a walmart etc. If you have like 2 or 3 properties you rent out then that's just making your way through the capitalist world we're all stuck in. The evil of buying up properties to rent out comes when you're really hogging up like 5 or more properties. IMO, obviously.

That's not how relativity works. Moving quickly relative to what? The planet might be moving slow relative to the local objects where it began its movement, but the local objects at it's origination point were also moving at some speed, and the group of objects that the local group was in were also moving at some speed, etc etc. And likewise our sun isn't stationary, it's also moving relative to everything else, so you could just as easily say the planet is stationary but our sun was moving very quickly toward the stationary planet. There is no thing as an absolute slow/fast when you're talking about bodies in space. There are tons of ways that a planet sized object could have a fraction-of-c speed relative to our sun.

And there are "rogue planets" out there. They aren't held into any orbital system, they're just flying free in empty space. So that part is true as well. It would be very unlikely that some of them AREN'T moving extremely quickly relative to the sun.

Whoda thunk it?! And it's especially dumb because iirc studies have shown that shoplifting rates haven't changed much if at all in a long time

It looks like such a huge score for them, because coastline is generally more valuable than inland. I don't know if that's the case here though

  1. My argument is you can't tell the demographic identity of ANY person who posts on lemmy. Even when they supposedly self-identify.

  2. Again, what you're saying here is radically different than what OP is saying in the 4 points they posted. There was nothing limiting it to "on discussions about being black".
