I would love for you to defend that logic in like any other scenario. Hey, that drug company didn’t need to say that the children’s cancer medicine they we’re making was really just Zima, that would have just upset the people with pitchforks.

I mean Romeo and Juliet were married for what like a week or something?

Highest AIPAC donations among Democratic senators in believe.

Really miss the beard.

The Goths being from modern day Sweden isn’t news surely? We’ve known this.

I just know one of these is gonna cause a fight at Thanksgiving cause someone will be too stupid to get the joke.

Oh this is just peak.

January 6th didn’t take place the day after the election.

Texas didn’t just go blue in the Senate. The AG changed. State can go after him for his myriad of crimes committed there.

Bars!

Very much so yes. Also sometimes it’s more blatant. The outfits they wear, the cleavage they show, sometimes they focus a lot on their own feet…

And the tradwives know it to. A lot of content is made with this in mind.

I do have that user tagged as “zionist scumbag” for context.

What a paper tiger of a threat. Like its hard to switch to duck duck go?

Trans people in this race certainly.

Looks like a pressure conference doesn’t it?

This is actually one of those cases where the dictionary definition isn’t really helpful or applicable. Because that definition is based on a literal meaning of the word and not the actual economic implications. Economically speaking once a market is dominated to the point where you cannot compete economically that is what we call an effective monopoly or actual monopoly. Basically a real life monopoly.

Think back to when Bell was broken up. It wasn’t the only, exclusive, competitor in the market. However they owned such a massive market share that they had to be broken up because no one could effectively compete. You’ll see how using the literal and ineffective definition of monopoly would be extremely easy to defeat for companies exercising actual monopolies.

So basically the other guy is right, albeit expressing himself rather dickishly.

I came close to getting sucked into libertarianism back in college. I had a roommate who was college libertarian, and he had a whole friend group that were pretty libertarian. And he was working for the Kinky Friedman campaign so our apartment was filled with Kinky for Texas governor signs. Who didn’t love Kinky Friedman? Especially with the other options.

But the more and more we talked with each other the more and more I started thinking hey this is kind of fucking crazy. One of them was convinced that we should get rid of the US Military and replace them with Mercenaries. Mercenaries. Cuz that’s always a great concept. That always works well for a country. Slightly unrelated but another one of them said that the Postal Service, the band which I think has had to change it’s name, was better than Michael Jackson’s music. So clearly they were all out of their minds. And I pulled away.

I think most of them grew out of it too thankfully.

Yes that is what Haley Stevens is doing. Funny how you’re not mad at her.

That was fantastic.
