I expect diamonds to fall off entirely in the next decade or so. Their (natural, later artificial) scarcity and (manufactured) tradition was all they ever had.

Maybe we'll have a double leap day some year in the next millennium, and since no mass shooting events will have happened before on "that day" you can do a protest then.

The chanlord alt-right sphere spending the last decade crafting (and then inexplicably dismantling) elaborate dogwhistles like okay signs and hawaiian shirts sure did a number on liberals. First they didn't listen, then they immediately started accusing the left of doing that, even though that really isn't our game what with our disdain for concealing our aims and such.

There's no racial component to it at all

That's a pretty bold statement to make. Have you seen the west?

Should this be allowed

That a known pedophile should have been given free reign to keep sex trafficking and in fact be given so much power and wealth that he could even theoretically have done this? Yeah it's kinda fucked up that we let it happen.

Laws that aren't intended to be actually enforced, but serve as cover for a search or whatever other cop activity. Seat belt, drug, and helmet laws for example. I don't think it's even about tickets it's just reason to pull you over and brow beat you for a while.

You're telling me the state that doesn't give a fuck if I die from gesticulates generally around suddenly cares whether I make a personal decision about my own safety?

This is coming from someone who wears his seat belt 100% of the time and gets car sick if I don't, who has been ticketed for not wearing one even though I was. meow-tableflip

I have a tangential bone to pick with people who worship brands like Nike and get their magnifying glass out if they suspect something is a "knockoff" or whatever.

If you have to inspect it that closely, count the stitches or whatever the fuck. It just is literally the same shoe my guy.
I don't care who made it it's a gucci nike whatever.

If you argue with me about this you're admitting that there's literally nothing special about (brand) products. It's so blatantly classist that at no point it occurs to them that if it takes that level of investigation to figure it out, they're the same shoe in any meaningful way.

I was in support of it but federation is bringing out the worst in us. I'm seeing quite a bit more slack given with ableism and some other things we wouldn't have allowed here before. We can do better.

"Why is everything manufactured in other countries from before the embargo started"

Are violent revolutions not a form of democracy? They generally require popular support to succeed.

Are you asking if she copied and pasted an excerpt from a book? Yes, of course she did. Lol

Edit: If I took a video of myself retyping it or writing it by hand, would you read it then? I'll do it.
