Eventually the interest in the debt will grow too large to service. The government will have to print more and more money leading to hyperinflation. The entire global economy will be impacted as faith in the dollar collapses. The global economy slows and eventually switches to trading in the Yuan. The US loses a ton of it's soft power globally.

And then Brigitte was released and I ran around curb stomping chumps while screaming mace to the face.

I miss those days before they murdered my girl.

I own the push mower version.

That was true of the first gen batteries. They lasted a year and then stopped holding a charge.

There are second gen batteries that seem to be holding up better, I'll be going into my third year with them soon so we'll see.

One of the reasons I'm against the current immigration policy of the US is it creates this under caste of people who can be exploited heavily by certain industries.

While in this example technically all citizens lack the same protections, the carve out in these laws always just happens to align with whatever industries rely heavily on migrant workers.

Then why are you bothering at all?

Like, if you don't think anyone is going to believe anything you say, why are you bothering to debate?

As I understand, it's a UK thing.

The xs were originally kisses but now they just kind of communicate a general friendly energy level the text should be interpreted at.

The girl has more xs and so it's speaking more forcefully/emotionally.

Some of it stems from religious zealotry (marriage is sacred and permanent).

Some of it is a misguided attempt at rectify the 'single parent' problem, believing that two unhappy parents is better than one parent divorced.

Essentially if you make divorce harder, more couples will be forced to work through their disagreements and reconcile.

How are they not?

... That is generally how it works where I live, yes.

Police causalities caused by actions intended to stop a felony are charged to the felon and they are held responsible.

Not that I fully agree with the unscrutinized part but your analogy isn't the best.

What makes you say he didn't think accidental civilian deaths were a problem?

[-] Kepabar@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, it does.

The way the amendment reads is that the people must be armed in order to form militias to ensure the states stay free; it does not tie the requirement of arms to a militia.

This is backed up by many statements by the founding fathers who state one of the core components to keeping America free from a tyrannical government is an armed citizenship willing to act, compared to Europe, where the citizenship is disarmed.

I'll note that you have nothing to refute with.
