In 1992 I thought the GOP was being hyperbolic about Bill Clinton’s history of sexual predation. Im not proud of that.

Don’t apologize for not having the same learning styles that other poster has.

That’s silly as sometimes video is preferable especially for things like repair and “how-to” instructions.

Not everyone has the same learning style you do.

The reality is that votes still matter more to politicians than money. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is hands down the most powerful lobby in the USA. Their power comes from their ability to get their message out to their followers who are the most likely group to vote in any election.

The NRA’s power comes from a similar place.

My apologies for linking The Nation, but this was big news. It just happened 6 years ago.

My town was one of the wealthier in the USA at the time and had a substantial population of immigrants from Korea/Japan/Taiwan so it made sense as a third language offering for the kids who were going back to Asia.

A ton of American kids took it because their parents were in finance and pushed it.

edit: It wasn’t commonly offered in NJ schools in that time. That might have changed in the decades since I graduated

It’s a joke about their writing system

Yes my public high school had it as a language back in the late 1980s/early 90s. This would be New Jersey, USA.

Marshawn Lynch was great in this movie

Nothing will ever beat Face/Off when he portrays Travolta’s character pretending to be him.

It’s amazing how much transphobia there was in that time.

Should he need to? He’s an actor. He can pretend to know what he is doing.

They were trying for their Star Wars.

Ineffective tax policies have different direct harms than other ineffective policies. Wealth taxes frequently do not bring in enough revenue which is a significant problem.

They don’t because many know the history of wealth taxes and how frequently they get abandoned because they are ineffective IRL.

No because rigging an election normally would take thousands of people working in secret. Trump won because America has a lot of dumb people in it

My kids?

I fear that would rapidly decline into a shitshow as not everyone here is rational or educated in the subjects being discussed. I can easily see this being used abusively

Start with the complaint to the town as that is free.
