  1. I would risk my life to save a pet, but I know if I die then the pet is as good as dead too. And if I had other pets to care for, I wouldn't die for just one. If I was in Africa and saw a poacher, I'd accidentally shoot him and hurry and fly back. Maybe it's legal to kill poachers, I don't know. If I were elected I would make it legal.
  2. Those social and economic realities are a part of systemic racism. Gerrymandering is a big one and while both parties do it, republicans draw out county lines to deliberately leave out communities of color so that their votes are not represented by as many electoral college members, making their vote weaker. Their gerrymandering lines are literally zigzagging in some places to leave them out. Since democrats are more diverse and also have white voters, their gerrymandering lines are not as dramatic. Laws have been passed in some states to stop anyone who looks suspicious and check for their citizenship status or papers. That is blatant discrimination. Even some police departments meet a quota to single out and arrest blacks and Hispanics. More minorities go to jail and get longer prison sentences instead of a warning. The Jan 6 attack had it's first conviction and the person gets probation and no jail time. If they were black...you can imagine. They probably won't be alive. Protestors are treated very differently if they are black. A black undercover agent at a BLM protest was beat by cops and one cop was sentenced to jail and also tampered with evidence. Minorities are less likely to get loans for a house. Obama passed a nondiscriminatory law to help them get loans for homes and trump ended it. Black farmers barely got any government assistance during the pandemic and the failed China trade war. Biden has passed a bill to help the black farmers and even now the white farmers are suing and saying it is a racist bill. There have been at least 3 bailouts farmers have gotten now and black farmers barely got any help. I guess they should have sued trump for his racist policy. Education and healthcare also have systemic racism. Black schools are way underfunded and healthcare insurance goes up with minorities and treated differently. That whole system is pretty bad. Black communities even had to deal with toxic lead in their water while a white republican governor tried to cover it up. And don't tell me the same thing would happen if it was a white community. There is very little black or Hispanic representation in corporate boards. And since corporations lobby, then they are a political entity. Systemic racism is seen through so many areas of life. I grew up most of my life in white dominant areas and white schools. Even though I have some understanding now, I'm still ignorant to other aspects how systemic racism affects people of color. But this is something this country has to fight and I don't expect you to see it or care just like many people in this country. Information is there on the web if you want to do a bit of research and learn about these things. And at the hands of republicans things are getting worse. How bad do things have to get before everyone acknowledges the serious racist threat to democracy? Systemic racism has been bad before, but it's going to get worse. I wonder at what point you and others stop and realize your talking points are dangerous. Or maybe you already know.
  3. It's ok if they are funny. Not so much as if you were two bored people on the phone and the voice becomes bathroom mumbling
  4. The best damn DLC out there is Ghost of Tsushima Legends and it is free.
  5. I think five years ago. There is a big one an hour drive from me. They even have standard size pool tables/billiards room. It's real fun there and time to go again.
  6. History obviously can’t be changed, but textbooks can. So if history teachers are teaching something race related like the civil war, holocaust, civil rights era, just to name a few, and if they say something outside of text, they can lose their job. You tell me that isn’t indoctrination. The Texas revolution is a very good example how history is completely whitewashed. I had to learn about it when I moved to Texas. And books are very different to what actually happened. Texans completely demean Mexicans and paint them as savages and that Texans had to fight for independence as if they were subjugated in some way. But the reality is that before Texas became a state, it belonged to Mexico and more and more whites moved to Texas populating the territory and brought their slaves with them. Mexico didn’t allow slavery and had the right to defend their territory, long story short. So now, if a teacher said anything other than the false or biased claims in texts, they can be fired or fined. Along with the new bills, they are changing the curriculum to teach communism and totalitarian governments are evil. But the way I see it, if they call out one political belief, they need to mention all of them including fascism. Because from what we all remember is that it was under the fascists that committed the greatest evil. So why not directly call out fascism as evil? But focus instead on communism and socialism. And what does totalitarian governments entail? That’s what fascism is so call it out directly as they do communism. So you can see, probably not, that things like this gets ugly and our teachers shouldn’t have to be afraid of what to say because of republican indoctrination. I mean, why even have a teacher if you can’t say anything outside of text. Just give them a book to read. Teaching becomes redundant.
  7. Open world adventure where I can search for treasures or mysteries and actually find stuff. Then build my home and land and eventually own an island and start my own civilization. Then be able to space travel and find a new planet to live on that is paradise and we start anew. We would build the perfect world with peace and harmony. Then Gods come to ally with us and show us how to make our world heavenly. And our life expectancy becomes thousands of years in blissful happiness disease free. We watch Earth destroy itself from a distance, and we save all animals except for humans there. We then fix the planet and it becomes a second paradise. We live in absolute joy and abundance with no longer a purpose except to have fun and be happy. The pursuit of wealth is no longer needed. And then we develop time travel and can see exactly everything that happened in human, alien, god, and universe history. The end. The sequel is even better.
  8. This is an interesting read about Florida's new law and 'red scare' tactic. https://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-guv-school-crackdown-red-221101542.html
  9. INDOCTRINATION is here from the republican party. Florida governor has now signed into law that colleges and universities have to survey students and faculty about beliefs. And depending on the results, the schools can be penalized and not receive funds. The surveys haven't been made yet, but I wonder what kind of questions will be asked, and if there will be a bias. This sort of thing is scary if you think about it. I believe surveys should be used to help what teachers can do better because in college we were able to survey our teachers at the end of the semester. But to survey our beliefs and the faculty beliefs by law is stepping on our rights. And to think your school can lose funding if whomever doesn't agree with the beliefs. Nazis
  10. They are highly skilled in stopping bullets with teeth. They even manipulate their bodies so as to fit through any window or crevice. They have delusional capabilities to make them as thin as paper so as to hide behind anything. They can disappear anytime and appear right behind you for a quick assassination. I would like to see a pirate try that!
  11. Laura Ingraham on fox news attacks the the U.S. military and a general for taking a stance on weeding out extremism. Congress has passed funding to help the military get rid of extremism and after bills have been passed by republicans to ban any teaching of racism in schools or the 'critical race theory', republicans are now attacking the military and calling our military 'woke.' A top general Mark Milley has defended that the military should recognize and learn about racism in the military "So what is wrong with understanding — having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?" The hypocrisy is pretty clear cut, as Ingraham and others have criticized defunding the police (which even I believe it was wrong, but should have reform and better management of their funding), but now they suggest that congress 'defund the military' by not allocating them funds if they allow teaching of racism or critical race theory. What will be left that republicans won't attack when they claim everything is 'cancel culture.' Systemic racism exists. Extremism in the police and military exists. And white supremacy is the biggest terrorism threat now. To call everything cancel culture is complete denial and/or actively support extremism and white supremacy. Ingraham claims the military is going after white evangelicals. If they are extremists or white supremacists, then they should get the boot out of the military regardless of whatever the hell religion they are. The republicans have attacked voting and elections, schools, corporations and sports, military, FBI, and just every walk of life that aren't involved in their extremist views. They even eat their own and oust any republican politician that speaks out in disagreement.
  12. So those same tactics will be used to defeat a pirate because if the pirate can use their arsenal, is that a fair fight? A ninja won't get caught up in a pointless duel especially if the opponent has a gun. And if needed to strike from a distance, ninjas have poison darts for a blowgun and they also have crossbows. But with all that aside, a fight with swords only will still be the ninja that will win once again. Every ninja is trained, but a 'pirate' comes down to personal training or skill because not all are on equal footing. But if the ninja was caught and had their back against the wall against an armed pirate, then the ninja will rely on catching the bullet with their teeth technique.
  13. Trump told his people to vote twice. That is the face of hate and idiocy. That face represents the overthrow of democracy and racism. Straight up.
  14. This music genre encompasses multi cultural folk music.
  15. Ever done concrete drilling? My balls are still shaking
  16. Access to fun everyday and financial security. Also working a job that allows me to do things I love, or just a simple fulfilling workplace that can support fun. Or just a simple life in a fishing village where I know I will do the same thing every day till I die and don't mind at all as long as the environment is pretty and the people are easy going.
  17. I used to like American Idol and Talent shows years ago, but I realized the ones with the best talent never win. They always chose the more popular choice that would sell records over actual best talent. They would let them come in second or third and make money off them on the side. But that trend kept getting too familiar so I think it's rigged towards the end.
  18. Pirates weren't only mercenaries but also made up of ex slaves and all sorts of other people. So yeah, a lifetime trained ninja could kill them along with a mercenary.
  19. Section 5102 of the California Election Code: 5102. No party shall be recognized or qualified to participate in any primary election that either directly or indirectly carries on, advocates, teaches, justifies, aids, or abets the overthrow by any unlawful means of, or that directly or indirectly carries on, advocates, teaches, justifies, aids, or abets a program of sabotage, force and violence, sedition or treason against, the government of the United States or of this state. Under this code the republican party is no longer recognized as a legitimate party and should not be allowed any elections, at least in California. https://law.justia.com/codes/california/2005/elec/5100-5102.html
  20. I think you underestimate the ninja being stealthy. A pirate wouldn't even see a ninja. That was the whole point of their training. Pirates can have machine guns and a ninja a blow dart gun. But the whole point is a ninja becomes one with the surroundings. And if caught they would off themselves.
  21. Ghost of Tsushima Legends DLC-best damn thing I ever played. Mad Max AC Black Flag
