Fellas, is it gay to speak Gaulish?

I'm all for sanctioning them too. Economic sanctions are the bare minimum we should be doing to genocidal authoritarians.

Political agenda is a funny euphemism for imperialist invasion and genocide.

The Federal Government actually owns most of the west. Its the reason why there's more land for public recreation and national parks in that region of the country.

You can typically hike, camp, or explore BLM land, which is the majority of it, as much as you want so long as you don't start any fires or litter.

neither party when elected do anything meaningful to secure the border or deport illegals.

It might shock you to learn the best way to prevent immigration is to make the countries experiencing outflows more stable and liveable, but I'm gonna take a wild guess you don't like foreign aid.

There sure was a lot of hand wringing before you wrote down what your actual problem with immigration was.

Pray tell what is the ideal demographic make up if the United States?

Imagine branding yourself with the image of a way to circumvent state authority only to lick the boot at the first opportunity.

Sadly, this is probably true.

How about we get someone who can win in a swing state so we can avoid Trump? Because right now from the polling it looks like Biden can't.

Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don't vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I've been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.

If the dems shove it down our throats I'm still voting for him, but there's still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.

The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren't dangerous. The typical rules about "don't aim at something you don't want to destroy" doesn't apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.

That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.

Now when I'm lazy and don't support some standards in my open source projects, I'm just going to say its for security.

404 Media is worker owned; you should pay them.

Vertical integation and scale are not inherently monopolistic. Some monopolies formed because they exploited these advantages, but there are competative industries today where several vertically integrated companies compete.

Monopolies in econ 101 are not called inefficient because they extract profit. They're inefficient because they don't respond to market forces. Since they control all supply, they can disregard demand.
