very, very few. interestingly, of the extremely small number of examples I can think of, they're all on the republican side. like, a few of them are legitimately golf buddies, go on vacation together, their kids are friends, etc. on the Democrat side, I really can't think of anyone I've known over the years who has legitimate, non-transactional friendships.
TotK is so damn good
Reposting this because it's still my favorite article this year. If people could just realize this (obviously comrades already know), I feel like we'd immediately be 20% closer to communism.

But she turns out to be a massive TERF and everyone just went "ok, you know what? yeah. let's talk about it. you suck at writing and your books are pretty damn racist."
:this:
really the case for anything and everything Harry Potter.
KOTOR 2 restored content mod is just incredible. it was my first exposure to this phenomenon in a video game setting.
sounds like it should be that much easier to confiscate the land then. :bugs-stalin:

I sometimes wish I'd gone to law school just so I could turn the tables in situations like this.
"On behalf of your former tenant, we're prepared to offer you a settlement of $3000. It's a very generous offer and I suggest you take it. The legal battle could draw out for years and get very expensive."
