Nothing Trump could say or do, besides him shitting himself on live TV, would have any effect on his chances for re-election.

We've already seen the most atrocious shit, NOTHING HE SAYS IS SURPRISING NOW.

There's a teacher at our college who forces students to write 1000 word essays. Not around 1000, exactly 1000 words or else it's an automatic zero. This isn't so bad until you have to write on paper with a time limit and you have to fucking count it by hand.

Literally just ego-tripping bullshit to get people to fail for meaningless mistakes.

Damn, that McDonalds visit really did numbers for Trump.

Someone should make a legit paradox battle royale game. Whoever paints a fantasy map wins, you can even have defeated players join up and dukes and counts and get rewarded by how high in the hierarchy they are.

No, they're gonna delay it a week before to keep the rest of the world on edge while our politicians just edge to it.

My man couldn't even wait 10 fucking minutes lol.

I don't get worried unless it's 2 full days after my last text.

Does anyone have any information on "Students for Justice in Palestine"?

There might be an organizing committee and I'd like to know if they're feds, libs, or based. They seem pretty based and specifically mentioned BDS in their bylaws so I'd lean that way.

Reviewing the Joker II movie:

I didn't think it was horrible. I thought the musical aspect could have been removed entirely and it would have gone up a point. It's ultimately true to the spirit of the first movie. If the first movie made Arthur too sympathetic, this movie over corrected that a bit. Arthur is ultimately someone who was failed more than he failed himself. Him more or less saying it's all his fault at the end just seems weird considering how the inciting incident was mostly forced upon him.

Don't get me wrong, he's still a villain at the end of the day, but a tragic one nonetheless. He was thrown into an unwinnable situation, identified with the evil person they painted him as, and used that to justify his crimes.

Believe it or not, there are some things that humans just do because they're not complete blank slates. It's like avoiding pain, or having a natural inclination to love parents and family.

The only way your point is true if include genetics as a "material condition" but that doesn't conflict with what I said.

People that say ideology/social conditions miss the point. While bullying is certainly shaped by these factors, it is just normal human behavior that needs correction.

It exists in all children, regardless of location or culture. It has to do with maintaining social hierarchy and forming groups. Children making friends and children excluding others are just two sides of the same coin of primate social structure. Some people grow out of that but most don't, they just learn to hide it better. In fact, most bullies go on to live far more successful and fulfilling lives than most people.

Human beings are not inherently good or bad, they are inherently very smart pack animals. At our best, we can come together with millions of different people to complete amazing political/social projects. At our worst we have racism, bullying, and genocide.

Chaos tends towards order in aggregate, literally chaos control in action. Atom's don't really follow the traditional energy level model, they just have a reasonable probability of being somewhere along those lines. But the structures can be relatively stable and rocks don't blink out of existence.

Also spontaneous order is a well studied part of Chaos Theory. You're wrong again.

In conclusion, Shadow haters get the wall and you're not a communist. ban-hammer
