We have been in a new gilded age since the end of the 90s…

I remember the first big MMORPG that was on the internet: Ultima Online. I wanted to play it back in the day, but I couldn’t because I was far too young to have my own credit card to pay (and my dad was quite firmly not going to pay) and in the very late 90s, at least where I lived, the internet was still a pay-as-you-play affair, meaning every second you spent was logged and charged on your next phone bill. Sometime around 2000 or very early 2001 the internet got some plans by the company that had us pay a single fixed fee, so I could remain online as long as I wanted without worrying about a skyrocketting bill.

I used to be an avid Plants Vs. Zombies player and I won the Jade League No. 1 spot and earned almost every plant that could be earned and I did it without paying a single dime in real life money. I eventually quit because after you finish the main game and win the Jade League (even once) there really isn’t much else for you to do, and when you grind up your plants’ exp to the level I got them the games become a sinch.

I saw a video of the ‘comedy’ that was said about Puerto Rico and I am honestly just fucking baffled as to why they hate them that much? I guess all they need to be to be hated is just be browner than they are.

Also how come the issue of Trump’s disgusting behavior during Hurricane Maria and his refusal to fully help them beyond a stupid stunt that had him throw a paper towel at someone’s face.

I mean he is also always armed. He had the Papal can(n)on on him all the time.

He should not only do it, but he should live stream it.

This is because he desperately is clinging to the ancient ideal (and I mean ANCIENT. Like early Middle Ages ancient) that everything in the kingdom is the direct and personal property of the king.

So in that sense, the billions of dollars allocated to the military every year is actually his money.

If he does, I hope he shoots himself with a cheap ass junk gun like an old raven arms .25 than something classy like a Walther PPK.

Hitler’s generals sucked ass. Why the hell would he want any of them? Especially the blow hard Goering

Isn’t that fucking illegal?

His health, both physical and mental, should have barred him from being able to do much. I am confident that if he wins, he will probably die in office from some illness. A Vance presidency would then happen…

Some asshole needs to remind him of something called evaporation and vapor pressure…

Telling something or someone to go hang was a very strong insult in those days. Even worse than saying go fuck yourself. Because hanging was how people were executed, meaning they are the most unwanted people in society…

I loved it when I first read it and this is my favorite part:

But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people.

But there is a lot of water in Lebanon. Israel wants that.

And the Afghans have had music and art since forever, well after their conversion to Islam. The taliban are freaks.

Except historically the arts flourished under Islamic rule. While Islam does have an anti icon streaks it was never enforced save for the depiction of the prophet Mohammad.

What is just so nuts is how much of an outlier and how incredibly new the bullshit the Taliban is doing, yet there are people who insist that all Muslims are copies of them…

Oooohhh burn!

Using a nuke is the equivalent of flipping the table when you’re losing, and they’re winning.

That tells me everything I need to know about what kind of knowledge level you have about the matter.
