Not for nothing, but this wouldn’t fly in the USA. You’d need to replace most of those trees with roads.

Or better yet, reduce the number of housing units and keep the trees.

Sometimes I use the tomato as a plate for ketchup so I can dip my fries.

My physics professor bore witness to the prophecy, but I never believed I would live to see it.

Just to glom onto this correct answer, the system OP describes is the ideal for prosecutors. It’s not supposed to be adversarial. The prosecutors are supposed to exercise their judgement and seek justice, not victory. Unfortunately, prosecutors are evaluated on conviction rates.

Tldr: she had to track down a Microsoft executive at a social event during TrustCon.

I agree with you, Trump is extremely depraved.

You don’t think Trump would commit genocide as a distraction from his power grab? I think Trump would commit genocide to distract from a fart.

You’re asking the right question, but the answer sucks. His agenda is to gather wealth and power. It makes no difference who gets hurt, who he has to be friends with, which hate groups he promotes, or who dies. He has no morals, no priorities, no political desires beyond obtaining wealth and power. And he’s getting it.

He also likes it when pretty girls play with his genitals, but I doubt he can still get it up.

He’s getting what he wants, for sure. But it’s all part of the firehose. He doesn’t give a fuck about trans kids or vaccines or Ukraine. He cares about gathering money and power. If his agenda stalls, he does not care because he will pivot to a new distraction. He stirs up bigots because they help him get what he really wants. I would be shocked to learn Trump knows who Leonard Peltier is.

Trump doesn’t care enough about actually achieving anything. He gets exactly the same benefit by simply complaining about Biden commuting his sentence.

Banned from Fortnite for sharing accounts to qualify for the tournament…

“I won’t ever cheat in Fortnite again.”

Seems like he didn’t get the message.

Up for it means you’re enthusiastic about making an effort. Down for it means you are fully committed to a course of action. It’s a slight nuance, but there is poetry in precision.

pilk!

What’s wild is how quickly a motivated fascist has been able to dismantle the government…

When you ask them out, they say no.

Yes, officer, this one right here.

None of this is true. It’s a piece of ham that looks mildly like a vagina, and someone came up with a funny story.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services

$20 can buy many peanuts.

Eh, I can go either way on this. If the writing is great, and the story lives up to the legend, I’m interested. If it’s going to be a half-assed cash grab, then the world is better without it.

Prequels can be good, if there’s a good story to tell:

Rogue One
Prey
Better Call Saul
XMen First Class The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
