This would create quite an evil mouse. I imagine the risk here is that the mouse would break free and run away with the ring and bring it to Sauron.

Edit: Someone already beat me to it.

I fortunately don't have any of this. I do exercise regularly but I wonder how long it is before some chronic pain starts appearing.

Everything is political, not just when your views are challenged.

I don't know if he means well, but whether he is accidentally correct by whining about treats or he is giving a relatable example, he is right on the money.

Rather amusingly, treats are pivotal to both the economy and the culture of America. A Wendy's closing in America could actually be a sign of decline. data-laughing

I have felt myself coming close many times. I still have normal relations with my parents but they don't know how thin the ice is.

It was awesome back in the day. Its clunky but still fun today. While it was a little campy during the cutscenes, it was actually supposed to have a more serious tone than RA2.

It also answers the question of what if Stalin didn't stop at Berlin. stalin-shining

If the source isn't negative about China, or doesn't cast them as the villain in every scenario, it must be propaganda.

But naturally, the opposite is never propaganda.

How are you supposed to keep them from passing on the cost of taxes to their tenants?

You have to realize that they still "own" a limited resource that lends them power to leverage over others. The only way you make this abuse go away is to have the people collectively own the land. Any accommodating regulations you place on landlords will only be temporary until they are worn down and removed.

I have been enjoying pop os. A lot more plug and play than I was expecting.

*Me saying a fairy tale scenario that will not exist under capitalism.

*Reality standing behind me.

You can't and wont deliver a long term solution for "middle class" people by working within that system. The goal of capital is ultimately to have as few as people as possible, with as much power as possible. Any middle class you are talking about will become lower class and poverty class with enough time. It absurd that you can look at the current system and believe that it would ever deliver on your promise. Believing that it would work with an uncorrupt government is trying to say that there is an "ideal" version of capitalism out there and we just need to do that.

You are looking at the only version of capitalism that exists. Any regulations, safeguards, and safety nets will be corrupted and withered away eventually because the people and institutions that supposedly uphold these ideals will be rewarded for doing so. You create a competitive class system and you are shocked and outraged when people cash it out to gain, or maintain their social class to avoid becoming lower class.

They can't. I guess the game is over.

What are liberals supposed to do if they can't just label something to dismiss it?
