@chriswithans The recovery Reagan was handed was a combination of Carter's admin putting in the work that actually made it happen, and the aftereffects of the oil shock finally fading. Carter's entire term saw the economy improve year over year, but he also encouraged thrift so nobody cared.

Reagan won 49 states because he brought America back from the doldrums of the Carter years (which spilled over into his own early presidency), and he because he was charismatic and Mondale was not. It wasn't because he showed America the wonders of free trade and mass migration. Come on.

@DKagemann @aelfwineR Seems a bit off to assume that when people ask why God allows suffering, they must be talking about human-induced suffering. There's so much else to make people die and hurt, some of which starts by nobody's choice before the sufferer is even born.

@BackupWeasel @aelfwineR That's the human condition though. When people ask why God allows suffering, aren't they really asking why He doesn't force us to be good? Volunteering is a slight alleviation of unremitting sin. I'm grateful that you try and hope it puts you in the orbit of other good people.

@DKagemann @aelfwineR Funny you say that, every time I try volunteering I just wind up angrier and angrier that there's any need for me to do so when so many other people could have stepped up and didn't.

@aelfwineR Volunteer and help others. Does double duty to improve your mental wellbeing and to please God.

@BnanArts Well now I have to replicate it.

@jjapgcomcast @LizaRosen0000 This particular blood libel is WAY older than the double-plagiarized Protocols, but your conclusions remain sound.

@LizaRosen0000 Dr Mona is citing from the 1890 Russian secret police propaganda piece “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”. Best case scenario: Dr Mona is ill informed Worst case scenario: Dr. Mona is a hateful, malicious person It’s the latter Why is Muslim Brotherhood TV allowed????🙁

Popular Muslim family therapist Dr. Mona appeared on the UK’s Muslim Brotherhood TV channel to discuss the intergenerational transmission of the trauma that Jews inflicted on Muslims. According to her, Jews used to hunt Muslim children to consume their blood during Passover. She described this as a trauma that forced persecuted and oppressed Muslims to live in fear and hide their children in basements. According to her, this is part of the reason that victimized and oppressed Muslims resisted and then raped, massacred, and annihilated entire Jewish communities across the Middle East and North Africa. This is prime-time programming for children and adults. Blood libels. Medieval Jew-hatred. Justification for genocide. Are all cultures equal? The West must stop importing this toxic ideology. Halt Islamic immigration and deport the radicals. Share this to expose Islam!

@grams091956 @LizaRosen0000 The blood libel is copied Christian homework, sooooooo...

@LizaRosen0000 Do people actually believe this bs? I’m going to doubt her just based on her faith that says they’re allowed to lie to promote an agenda. Their agenda? Hatred of the Jewish race and religion.

@LizaRosen0000 They got this story by copying European antisemites' homework. The call is coming from inside the house.

@lonestead @Buick_Willis @ksorbs You fell for the same idealized illusion of capitalism that capitalists have always tried to push. This IS capitalism. It's always BEEN capitalism. Capitalists and capitalism fanboys just use Smithian competition as a shitty paper mask while they push for its destruction.

@Buick_Willis @ksorbs We are told we live in a Capitalist society, so all the evils of today get assigned that label. Really we've lived under a tyrannical corporatism system. Our representatives represent the interests of corporations and don't hold them accountable for anything.

Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some milk. Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and the government sells it. Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows. Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow. Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one, buy a bull.

@ksorbs Source: this is how contract farming works, though it's more common with chickens than cattle.

@ksorbs Actual capitalism: You own the equipment needed to raise cows. The two cows on your farm are not your cows, but the cows of a corporation which has contracted you to raise them. It will pay you a shitty fixed rate for the cows while you pay for all the equipment upkeep and feed.

@MbarkCherguia Obvious AI slop. Real kitchens don't put drawers under the sink, unless they were built wrong on purpose as a joke.

What's your first thought when you see this kitchen?

@BnanArts The kitty remains adorable, I see. Unfortunately I'm too middle-of-the-day tired to tell what changed.

@TrevorAllenMD I politely ask Sprind to move to 14 so I can take its current seat.

Appreciating this requires a deep understanding of the game, now please, take your seat.

@acachilles10 @LogicChris @MattConlan2 @atrupar Profit makes costs go UP, you utter brainlet. Prices equal cost plus profit.

@LogicChris @MattConlan2 @atrupar Defense is the main reason government exists and you want to cut it while making welfare even bigger. Profit is what keeps costs down. I can't believe you're allowed to vote.

ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program BROOKE ROLLINS: You can't be serious when you say that CRAIG: Your own data says that

@DBerg1996 @Feletida The Eldar also have equivalents to some dudes who were living way up in the mountains with no phones or electricity, and the bombs didn't cover where they were at because everyone thought nobody lived there.

@Feletida Imagine if humanity was destroyed by nuclear war, and the only survivors were a bunch of mormons who pooled together to buy a cruise ship, and the billionaires on Epsteins island that launched the nukes. That's the Eldar.

@KyosukeFujiwara I bought the original PC version, and can confirm that the animations are immaculate.

@KyosukeFujiwara So that's why she slows down when promoted to Elite 2.

@KyosukeFujiwara Good to see the phone version is selling well!

@KyosukeFujiwara I never knew how badly I needed her to have spiral eyes and a super curvy body until you made it happen.

@Trump_Vance @polpal22542 @Breaking911 Calling Vladimir Putin a "neoliberal interventionist" sure is a choice of words.

@polpal22542 @Breaking911 Has been? Hey genius, Donald Trump wasn’t president when this war started (by neoliberal interventionists)

Ukrainian soldiers forcibly drag a man off presumably to the front lines, amid the ongoing war with Russia.
