With this picture, does that make you Cyrano de Purrgerac?

Ugh that sucks. I'll gripe at them about it next time I'm in the area.

They are just gorgeous though. They look like incredibly well-knapped flint blades.

No base + no trump = socialism? I think that's about the level of numeracy on the far right?

Yes, pretending you have questions when you just have insults is a great example of trolling.

"FreedomAdvocate" just immediately sounds like a troll account. Aaaannnnd the comment history is almost nothing but trolling. Surprise surprise.

Jesus was born 5-7 centuries after this was written down, he don't know either.

Yep! Always has been.

Ashoka the great who's credited with doing a lot to spread buddhism globally was a murderous warlord known for his personal torture prison called "Ashoka's hell". After he brutally killed uprisings against his rule he plowed state funds into a PR campaign to change his name from ashoka the cruel to ashoka of the dharma.

Bill gates is another good example, he's a pedophile known for running one of the most toxic work cultures, but he can use some of the money he made illegally stifling competition to rehab his image.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has “given complete operational freedom to the armed forces to decide on the mode, targets and timing of India’s response to the Pahalgam massacre.”

Modi seems to disagree.

I must say 4 incorrectly

I move my lips the same way you do. Another poster mentioned four, five as well.

It's not incorrect though - there's not really such a thing as pronouncing incorrectly. People just speak how they speak and it's always changing.

over 30% of people somehow still voted conservative.

It's similar numbers for determined trump supporters. 30-40% of people just seem to enjoy the idea of living under a punishing overload. Maybe it makes them feel safe, or they think of themselves as superior so presume they'll end up on top. Probably a lot of other drivers as well - poverty and uncertainty seem to play a role.

I tend to think of this more as a flaw we possess as an organism, something we need social institutions to counteract, rather than as the personal failing of one in every two or three people.

I suspect that the venn diagram of people who talk about this and people who think this a good idea is two separate circles.
