Why is this news and upvoted now? They have been running these disclaimers for a long time.
I believe they started running disclaimers after Fox, Dominion reach $787M settlement over election claims which happened last April.

Chrono Trigger has all the elements done right- 10/10 music, 10/10 art style, RPG and battle systems that were innovative for the time and are still fun to play today.
But I think what sets the game apart as a timeless classic, a masterpiece, is its deep themes of existentialism. Marle has has a fake persona and a mistaken identity, yet we can still see her real self. Crono, as an avatar for the player, is sentenced to death and spared in the last moments. Robo, after being freed from his original programming, asks “Is this what it is like… to die?”
And that’s all just in the first act.
The ideas of Sartre, of Nietzsche, and perhaps most of all “Being and Time” by Heidegger were presented in a way that my 10-year-old self could comprehend and enjoy. But it’s not dumbed down for children, my 30-year-old self can still find deep meaning in the narrative and themes.
Plus, time travel is cool.
By “surprise” I assume you mean a capital-friendly, poorly implemented solution that does not solve the underlying problem. All of your examples illustrate this.
The first black president was a war criminal who enacted a right wing agenda.
Gay marriage is likely to be overturned by our billionaire-owned, unaccountable Supreme Court.
Legal marijuana is a patchwork- the best states have inefficient and nonsensical cannabis regulations, and the worst states still have inhumane, draconian punishment.
Despite the small amount of forgiveness, the total amount of student loans owed is rising. Currently we are at a record high of $1.75 trillion in debt.
And as for universal healthcare, the number of uninsured and underinsured keeps rising. The number of deaths due to lack of access keeps rising. And there are many people, like myself, who have had their lives destroyed by medical bankruptcy. The entire system is designed to maximize profit, patient health is a secondary concern.
So in this latest tit-for-tat, the “terrorist organization” precisely targeted a military vehicle.
Then, “the most moral army in the world” responded by dropping internationally banned chemical agent on a few towns.
But that explanation is lost to time.
One translation I read suggested a probable explanation.
Rasputin’s phone advice was the same as many modern quacks: keep the patient away from modern medicine and doctors.
So the hemophiliac prince was no longer given his normal cocktail of drugs, which probably included a new medicine for the time: aspirin.
Stop giving a blood thinner to a hemophiliac and his condition (temporarily) improved. The best explanation for the people at the time was “magic”.
I honestly think if he took his shirt off it would cost him the election.
Seeing the flabby, 78-year-old American physique in all its glory would be both a literal and figurative “emperor has no clothes” moment for many of his cultists.
Yes your quote really drives home my point. They wrote the debate qualifications specifically so that rfkjr wouldnt make the cut.
From what I understand, he will probably qualify for the ballot in all 50 states. Since this debate is happening unusually early, his ballot access has not been certified yet.
I dont feel strongly about rfk, it’s probably better for America that he is not on that stage. But this is just one more example of how our two political parties operate in a corrupt, anti-democratic way. They have no principles nor morals, its power politics all the way down.
Rfkjr is literally crazy, yes, but it’s hard to deny the fact that the debate qualification rules were written specifically to exclude him.
If you actually agreed with their message, then I don’t think you would take the time to whinge about the safety of the precious rocks.
We used to torture some folks.
We still do, but we used to, too.
How do you think those rocks will fare when the average temperature rises a few degrees?
Do you think the big stones will avoid damage while humans are fighting wars over water?
Are those precious rocks going to be ok when countries near the equator become uninhabitable, and the UK has to violently defend its borders from millions of climate refugees?
Do you think it can still be considered a cultural heritage site after all the humans are dead?
As much as I would love to see the destruction of the IDF, I really fear for the Lebanese people.
An all out war means massive bombing in all major cities including Beirut and Tel Aviv. The range of artillery and drones mean nowhere would be safe in either country. IDF ground forces, battle-hardened against unarmed civilians, would likely lose to Hezbollah. But Israel would likely control the skies, leading to a protracted, bloody stalemate. Like the battlefields of Ukraine, but worse.
The people of Lebanon are already suffering so much, but this would bring about a new level of devastation.
But I believe the logic of mutually assured destruction applies here. Even the most bloodthirsty Likudniks, despite their saber rattling, will not force an all out war.
I’m sure the Biblical Womanhood Council has lively debates on the subject.
“The female orgasm is a myth” vs “The female orgasm is a sin”
The fact that theres 175k convictions in a smaller state is rather shocking.
Think about all that effort by judges, DAs, police, corrections, etc. All of these people, paid by taxpayers, could have been tasked with doing something beneficial to society. Instead they participated in a counterproductive, racist, braindead prohibition scheme. What a waste.
Who is using it as excuse for the current genocide?
You did, when you said “Genocide is a US problem not specific to any president.”
When comparing 2 candidates, genocide doesn’t matter because they will both do it
This “lesser of two evils” logic only holds up when deciding who to vote for. The Biden administration does not get to aid a genocide criticism-free just because Trump would be worse.
Once a president is in office then you can protest decision
A president is in office now, aiding a genocide now, so I’m protesting now. If the US is still supporting genocide after the election I will protest then, too.
i’m not a trumper but biden is commiting genocide" is just pedantic and missing the point
I saw a shocking amount of upvoted genocide denial in the comments, so I felt the need to respond, even if its unpopular.
Yes we agree that other modern presidents have been genocidal as well.
Using that fact as an excuse for the current genocide is not some realpolitik, “adults in the room” level of thinking. It is moral depravity and the banality of evil.
I’m right here, this article does nothing to change my mind about how Joe Biden is aiding and abetting an ongoing genocide.
Yes, Trump will almost certainly be worse. That doesn’t change the fact that our current president’s support for genocide is deplorable, it hurts his electoral chances, and it damages the US standing in the world.
Burying Palestinian families alive under the rubble of their former homes is not a good use of my tax dollars. Joe Biden needs to stop.
So the difference is that Trump will drop a MOAB and kill hundreds…
And Biden will send 300,000 massive bombs to a genocidal warlord to kill tens of thousands?
I’m not trying to defend Trump, but I’m confused by your logic.
Accurate representation of US veterans.
