  • Oh, oh. I can pitch in! I’ve met 5, personally. Every single one of them inherited the position from their parents or had a head start by having wealthy parents.

    Out of the ones that inherited the jobs: 1 is the owner of a small hotel for which the general manager and the rest of the staff do all the work and have all the stress. She’s 35-ish and hasn’t worked a day in the last 4 years.

    Second one is top 100 richest person in the country and she has directors and managers doing all the actual work and she just supervises them. Her biggest stress is her younger brother that actually works and is trying to take her businesses away from her. Instead of… you know… sharing and being stress-free.

    Out of the “self made” ones: one somehow managed under communism, at 36, to be the chief of some government branch. Travelled a lot and shit. At the time, in 1990, he had a house, a car, 1000$ in savings (average, not minimum, salary at the time was 150$). And he got a 20k $ mortgage to start his own business, so that couldn’t have been a cheap house. (Google says you could buy a 3 bedroom apartment in the center of the capital for 20k)

    Other ones are just more of the same. Parents sent them to study abroad, get a bunch of experience, then they came back, used money most people don’t have to start businesses and now at 40 they don’t need to work anymore.

    So…yeah… stop licking their butts, please.

    Oh, and forgot to mention that 2 of them went to prison for corruption and tax evasion. One of them also beat his wife, but she didn’t file any charges afaik cause she was just as crazy as him.

    Oh, and he offered me a job abroad, promised to pay my rent for half a year to help me get settled. He fired me after a month when he realized he didn’t need me anymore and let me fend for myself. Ofc he also only paid a month of rent. So… yeah jobless and homeless in a foreign country was fun.





  • Ok, I didn’t look at the states that Harris won, because that would’ve taken longer and complicated things.

    Only looked at states that trump won.

    Interesting fact: if you strategically place 12 million more votes, you can win literally every single state and secure all votes.

    Most fun way to win (imo): 1.5 million in Texas for 40 votes and then another 1.5 million in Florida for another 30.

    Most efficient points/voter states:

    Michigan needed 80k for 15 votes

    Georgia needed 120k for 16

    Pennsylvania needed 145k for 19

    And Nevada needed 52k for 6

    For a grand total of 400k you’d get 56 votes that could’ve taken Harris from 226 to 282 and would’ve secured the win.

    Other close calls:

    North Carolina needed 200k for 16 votes

    Arizona needed 140k for 11



  • The original comment to which you replied said “Millions of people stayed home. I really doubt Gaza was the reason for all of them.”

    We’ve agreed that millions of people did stay at home. So I don’t see the problem. Yes, they often stay at home. That’s the problem. When it’s two of more of the same it’s more understandable. But both sides have been pretty clear about what’s at stake. And they still stayed home. That’s it. And you’ve agreed that 1/3 of the people didn’t vote.

    Not sure how the op was untruthful or misleading or based in any way “off of feelings and emotions”.

    Millions of people chose to allow this to happen. And yeah, Gaza wasn’t the reason.





  • They’ve all taken the Torah that Moses dreamt up and made their own version with hookers and blackjack. You can spin it however you want, but it’s true. The fact that it’s not copied word for word doesn’t change the fact that it’s the same foundation.

    The Egyptians and the Mesopotamians/Babylonians influenced the Canaanite religion, then that evolved into Judaism, then that splintered into Judaism and Christianity and then came Mohammed who was like “yep, those guys and those books came from God! And I am the last prophet of God!”

    Then we got a bunch of other prophets like Joseph Smith, Nostradamus, David Koresh, Jim Jones, Ellen White, etc. So… Yeah.

    Also, I guess this is an example of how different people interpret these books. To me, 5:2 seems to speak against word vomit, which is what I was implying you’re doing in this thread and others.





  • Okay, you consider it a cheat answer, that’s fair. But, just for the record, pokemon is a fantasy series. And the pokemon are a race of monsters.

    But for a more typical answer, I’d go with either dragons cause they’re usually powerful and intelligent and can fly or warcraft’s taurens cause they’re like a hippie version of a minotaur. Strong and intelligent but with an affinity for nature. A tauren druid being a very fun combo with tons of versatility.
