I mean the difference is that the old RNC deliberately invited the vampire inside, thinking they could control them. They were supposed to be useful idiots to get extra votes. They were wrong and lost control.
The DNC recognizes that if they ever actually gave the people power they'd never get it back. So they're much more diligent about denying any possible progressive advancement, up to and including damaging their own party to do so.
I mean it's kind of classic issues with unions. It doesn't work if only place is doing it, but the more that do, the less market they have access to. Europe is a pretty decent sized market, so it may still hurt. And if they do leave, well China certainly has a lot of their own homegrown solutions, so that's not an entirely unreasonable option.
The DNC and the RNC basically want the same thing, except the Democratic Party is much more subtle about it.
The old RNC. The new Republicans have taken over and actually do want all the fascist hateful stuff. The old guard courted crazies and those crazies took over.
I still think this is disingenuous. It's not a choice between being shot or stabbed. It's a choice between being fined and getting gassed to death.
I'm not sure what, if anything, Dems are doing that counts as actually getting hurt. They're just very ineffective. At worst they're the useless bystander screaming instead of doing anything productive.
I've never repacked a console in its original box, even when I've had it.
Organized crime would have dedicated bureaucracy offices dedicated to illegally filing titles, deeds, tax returns, etc. Basically launder all their money in a single night.
What if some of the locals want it taken away for protection, but the government wants it destroyed?
There's no clear 'owner' in many cases. I think it places where it's uncertain, then we should prioritize saving the artifacts over the ones that seek to destroy them.
What's the opinion on certain high risk countries where there's a high likelihood of the artifacts simply being destroyed? If I remember correctly ISIS and other similar organizations have burned or bombed several historical sites before.
I upgraded my PC with my Bitcoin. Making $800 off a $20 investment was a great deal IMO.
I wish I'd forgotten to check on it...
My head canon was always that the eye was just a spell or a possession ability he had while he was working to come back (which required the ring).
Not my deepest darkest secret, but my mom did pull apart my torn pants to flash an entire wedding party my underwear after I accidentally ripped my pants on a swing set (outdoor wedding). I was trying to quietly leave without drawing attention and she deliberately showed it off to like 50 people who all laughed.
So yeah, that one haunts me pretty regularly.
I'm not really against age verification, the problem is that I'm very, very against having a government backed database of all porn I visit. Nobodies really assured me that current implementations aren't doing that.
Plus, at the rate we're going I'm not really sure how much longer porn will be legal, free speech rights be damned. Both the right and the left and the younger generation seem fully invested in 'save the kids' mentality these days.
