Yea he really made this bed for himself, so I won't waste tears when he is forced to pay down in it.
It should also be a wakeup call for liberals in government that you can't expect this president to respect laws or order but given how eager our Good boy Chuck is to get a pat on the head, I don't think any of them are going to learn any lessons.
Yes. I am often an apologist for incomplete but well intentioned reasoning I encounter in the wild.
I try to first understand before I criticize and that has helped me to interpret other people's words better.
An apology is not a bad thing or a good thing. It is a thing.
There are plenty of apologies that could be delivered that would meet those criteria and also be really mean things to say that do not make someone feel better.
All of it is an apology. An apology is just an explanation given after the fact. He felt the need to explain his actions further.
To be a full and complete apology many people expect all three of these components, but not All three are essential to every apology.
You could argue that he didn't do a full and complete apology but you can't argue that he didn't apologize.
I bought this game and it came with a poster that had the epoch on it.
When my father saw me flying around in the airship he asked if this was a war game or like galaga and I explained to him that it was my time traveling airship and its name was epoch.
He taught me what the word meant and decided this game was a-okay.
Wow, I guess the dodecahedron in the phantom tollbooth sequel went to a really dark place.
We should let the Democratic party choose a person through a primary to run for president and then allow that person to run for president.
If a woman makes it through that process on her own merits then the party will probably vote for her.
If on the other hand a woman is selected because she's a woman who will cooperate with the donors and they decide to skip that process or subvert it in some way then you probably won't win.
The 4400 went off the air too soon!
Holy shit I totally forgot about this show.
I agree with what you're saying, and I should have been more clear.
I'm not saying you have to send them money, but if you do let money leave your wallet, we should be trying to make sure it gets to a deserving party. I think in general, we should avoid giving money to extractive industries that don't add value and I'm encouraging you to error on the side of sending that money directly to the artist/laborers and cutting out literally everybody else.
I agree with you in that no one needs to be sending money to Metallica.
If you send the artist money in the form of a check or a donation more of that money goes to the person who produces the thing.
It's not possible to reach 100%, but every little bit of your dollar you ensure enters the pocket of a person who worked for a living is one less bit of that dollar that ends up in the hands of a leech or a parasite.
Giving Spotify or Google or Apple or whoever has inserted themselves into the system to absorb money for something that they don't pay for is fundamentally not healthy for any part of the ecosystem of art.
I imagine it as a mod for RimWorld.
There are so many more options there and it's already a war crime simulator. I have whole prisons of captured raiders that couldn't be described accurately if Harlan Ellison and Upton Sinclair collaborated with Lovecraft to invent the most terrible grinder of misery while they freebased paranoia from the hollowed out skull of Caligula.
The creator (Tynan) already inserts his own character among many Kickstarter donors to face the barely imaginable horrors I cook up in my misery science research facility, I can probably be more creative for people that actually deserve it.
