Lolll soaking.

Spot on though. The Mormon church has connections and infinite money, rivaling the Catholic Church in terms of wealth (and only increasing by the year). Their current estimated value is over 200 billion, in real estate, land, and investments. They own significant holdings in farmland all over the country including 1% of the entire landmass of Florida.

Historically speaking, the church already went to war against the United States, and attempted to assassinate a governor (unsuccessfully). 1800’s Mormons were nuts.

Obligatory note - I grew up Mormon. I don’t recommend joining the church. Their beliefs are objectively incorrect and oftentimes harmful. They have a cool history though.

How does voting work when this happens? Like, let’s say R’s control the Senate 51-50, but this guy suddenly dies. Is the Senate now split on votes?

A far shorter list would be the few that are not vulnerable

Sometimes I really don’t know if these posts are serious.

You aren’t going to get drone striked. There isn’t going to be a civil war.

Chill yo

While I understand what you mean, we also have to recognize that doing that would 100% give trump the election. Splitting the votes is not what we want to do.

I agreed with you :)

Exactly. This makes me feel good! We’re the good guys!

Overall not helpful

I know someone who got it at 17. That said, the only reason it happened was because of connections. Usually, even if it gets approved at 16, you basically have to get in line, and that will take 2-3 years before you can actually get the surgery.

That’s how it was for my friend a few years ago at least.

But if it were, we would be ready to throw him under the bus in a heartbeat. Bad behavior is bad behavior. We’re not in a cult

Lol

Let’s say both then. Both the US and China are surveillance states, and that makes them both bad.

Btw just so you are aware, there is some underlying animosity toward people who defend China here. Usually people who defend China are just trying to deflect and try to say things like “BUT America does bad things!” While trying to make it seem like that somehow absolves China of genocide and mass surveillance.

The hard part for those people to grasp is that Americans are usually happy to say yes, America sucks. Any country that engages in those actions sucks. Diehard tankies on the other hand are incapable of seeing flaws in China/Russia/whatever country they feel the need to defend.

Could you clarify what you mean by snake oil?

When you say “believe in Android” what do you mean?

Is genocide denial not racism?

Yeah honestly let’s make an example out of that horse

Defederating sends a message that the world doesn’t like tankie bullshit

Exactly. Why are we federated with people who deny genocides? Fuck all of that

I’m all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.

Honestly where’s my pipe, this is false advertising

Arguably, the average person will not care. My mom will probably buy one because, and I quote, “Your phone takes good pictures!”

Benchmark tests don’t matter to normal people
