Yeah but that’s the whole point of the insult — the one act of cocksucking makes someone a cocksucker (ie a bad thing).

I don’t think it’s the equivalent but it is still highly distasteful. That is, I would be crushed if my daughter did porn. I would still be extremely upset if she did playboy. Yes one is worse than the other but only on the margins.

Billionaires aren’t generally spending billions of dollars on material goods (maybe hundreds of millions); instead, they are making capital allocation decisions. Trying to tax billionaires is (I) distorting capital allocation and (ii) transferring capital from investment to consumption.

Ever hear of the story of the boy who cried wolf? I don’t think even Garak can salvage this one.

And now it turns out the guy died in Chile in 2019.
Honestly if you hate the west so much why are you living in the west?
Edit: didn’t realize the OP was banned. Didn’t mean to challenge someone who couldnt respond.

Really? Career bureaucrats who are fine but not rich but know rich people seem like a large group

I don’t think there is any strong evidence to suggest a frame job here. What is motive of the victim?

So we now believe the victim who identified Floyd is lying because an officer involved happened to be dirty?

Still in his Wikipedia. Here is a WaPo article strongly hinting it was made up with zero evidence (ie they took the five year plea because they were convinced they’d receive no justice—yet the paper didn’t include any of the evidence supporting the conviction). https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/national/george-floyd-america/policing/

I think he did. Anyone who points a gun at a pregnant women while robbing their house deserves to hang

And? Maybe violin is different (practically kids don’t have big enough hands to play guitar) but maybe starting insanely young isn’t actually necessary to be a virtuoso as demonstrated by two of the best guitarists of all time.

There are literally professional athletes who only started their sports a few years before they went pro. Of course, they are largely massive physical specimens.
Similarly, there can be some degree of cross training due to playing multiple sports. For example, soccer (barely a sport) does teach foot eye coordination. This is helpful for hockey (a real sport) since you sometimes need the puck to go skate to stick.

Maybe there’s a difference but I learned guitar after 12 (largely because I noticed girls liked the guy who played guitar).

Biden advertised as a moderate but governed like a radical. Style aside, Trump is still a Clinton Democrat.

That seems like an overly narrow definition of bureaucracy. All of the revolving door between the official bureaucracy and the related contractors (with people going back and forth) form the true bureaucracy.

Organisms attempt to grow. Unless there is a countermeasure, they will grow. There was for a long time no countermeasure to bureaucracy and therefore it grew.

In moderation, alcohol can create social cohesion. The moderation is the key bit.

If we are talking about the “Maryland Dad” then yeah the guy just coincidentally hung out with MS-13 gangbangers and the tat just looked like an MS-13 tat by happenstance.

I am thinking Braveheart. You care about William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.
The plot does drive the movie (along with certain twists, etc.).
And of course there’s some fun action.
I heard that when you examine the metadata it was 3 minutes; not 1
