What... Do you mean?

Blue and white on mobile. Definitely not looking bad.

I can't imagine being clingy to my sisters

Flut has a fanboy? Nice Grats on the accomplishment bro

Friends are helping though

Well, hopefully I'll end up okay? Emphasis on the '?'

I can't sleep without vicodin. Is my life considered hellish yet? I guess not since I live in middle class America, but it feels like it. Fucking pain fuck.

Naruhodo

Is this a riddle?

Can't tell if joking or not. It'd be bad if I lost weight though xD Edit: Denkoface suggests stalker, so I'm going with joking >,> (Just kidding)

being unhealthy is no good

I dislike how sometimes they hand the job of coming up with the brawl to a mop. Presumably a mop. I can't imagine a living person actually gave the 'ok' to that two card deck "idea." Idk why I still play. Curse my appendix

Pretty sure I was clear that I didn't mind either way, but that I thought it was out of character for the public to think that way. I'm in painnnnnnNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn urg

I'm always (kind of, not really) surprised at the proportion of people online who think killing someone is okay if they're trying to rape you. I mean, I don't really mind, but it seems like a break from the typical way that people like to handle violent countermeasures. Or is it just me and it's normal to try to kill someone who isn't actually threatening your life? I don't mind either way, just a fun thought I had. I'm reading a Reddit post about some mother who killed this father for attempting to molest their daughter and everyone in the comments is applauding her. Though I've always been a fan of harsh punishments, so I don't mind. (I'm kind of hoping this wrangles up some fun discussion, but I'm not dramatic enough for that to really happen, I guess. At least I think that's a good point on my character, so I can't be too angry)

coke is garbage

For once I have something interesting to say but no interest in saying it
-
Torture? Nice dreams, no? Or maybe she dies?

Yup. Funny thing was I don't really play all that much. I didn't know Shifter Zerus actually existed. It's like getting killed by a 14 damage pyroblast and then learning that there's a new card that makes your pyroblasts deal 4 more damage if it's in your hand. "What on earth..."

Trump and the connection between democracy and tyranny
arakura replied to sanahtlig's topic in General Discussion
Well, I think most trump supporters are ridiculous... Because the same problem existed three centuries ago we can't/shouldn't fix it? What? That's naive and ridiculous. I must have misunderstood what you were saying. Anyway. Politicians used to be much worse, so there's reason to believe they can be better. even if there are other issues, money is one of them. You have to start somewhere. I don't think we'll ever fully separate money from political power, but we can definitely do it to some degree. And my claim that a lot of people support him because of his money isn't wrong. Also Val, I went to I good school, was a good student, did well in civics, and am not a fool. Yet I didn't walk out really understanding the election system very well. That's because it's old, messy, confusing, and obsolete. The schools are not the problem. -

Yea. We have the technology. It's not simple. It's outdated. I do like living here, but the political system has a bunch of obvious flaws which drag it down. Which was part of my original point anyway. A lot of people support trump because he seems less likely to sell himself to lobbyists and so on. I feel like there must be a way to do elections so that "probably not making secret deals for money" isn't some kind of wondrous feature. Also, val, my point isn't that I can't find out or don't know but that it's not simple. This crates a barrier to entry that lowers voter turnout. People shouldn't have to go to college or even be fussed in general to understand how elections work. They should be taught it in school and it should be more simple than it is. -
Trump and the connection between democracy and tyranny

So... why doesn't the person who gets the most votes (read: votes from people like you or I) always win? More pertinently, why do we have a system that allows such a thing to happen? Wouldn't that be the most simple way, considering that we have the tools now. Also, it's not immediately understandable. The republican and democrat systems are different? Doesn't that strike you as odd? I don't think it's very hard to argue that the system is confusing for people who don't follow it closely. I want to know why, because it could be. Well, I think the party system is a pile of crap, and it's run by old politicians who have personal reasons to keep it the way it is, for the most part. But seriously what the fuck? Superdelegates? Why do we have a system where the winner of the popular vote can lose the election? That doesn't confuse anyone? That's straightforward? My ass it is. When I took civics in high school they failed to inform me of just how much of a shitfest the election system is. -

Don't have much to say. Money speaks. In a bad way. A lot of trump support comes because he seems less willing to sell his dick for a successful campaign. Not a fan of trump, but the lobbying system in the US is pretty bad. But dw guys, we need more corn. Would someone mind explaining to me why the election system is so confusing? Are superdelegates (this sounds like a joke) really necessary in this day and age?
