Imagine the suspension of intellect it must take to admit that Russia is willing to pay you push the narrative you are already pushing, or are willing to push, and then considering yourself a victim for doing it.

You weren't the target, you were the tool.

I don't think you could make a Deadpool 1 again because they never made a Deadpool 1. You could easily make Deadpool again, they do that all the time and it kind of sucks because you have to label it like Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool (2024).

Mostly you couldn't make Deadpool today because it takes way, way longer than that to make a feature length film. Maybe you could do a YouTube short or something if you get started now. It's already almost noon.

Because Democrats want someone who will run the country and Republicans just want someone who will maintain their minority control. We are concerned for the country, they are scared for their very existence and self reflection itself is dangerous for their existence. Basically self reflection is necessary for what Democrats want to do, and it fatal for what Republicans want. So we do it, and Republicans avoid it at all costs. We get a Kamala who we hold to a high standard, they get a Trump who can punch them in the face and they'll still support him because of the party.

Trump doesn't know how to handle people laughing at him because he's never had anyone laugh with him.

No, sarcasm is really hard to do, I'm sure only humans can possibly understand the nuances of language like that.

well, unless the deaths were suspicious, you could pretty much discount the ones that occurred off-site, and things happening relatively close together is often just a coincidence. Seems like a pretty large property, and with lots of guests and lots of employees it doesn't seem unusual to have a 'string' of odd occurrences occasionally. As far as feeling creepy, there's a good argument for the acoustics of a building adding to it's creepiness....and once you're creeped out about one thing it's not all the unusual for that association to carry over into other areas even if the similarities that associate them together aren't immediately obvious.

That's why these discussions generally come down to understanding/misunderstanding 'instincts'. Certain breeds have at least broadly understood instincts when it comes to offensive/defensive postures, and those instincts may never be triggered in their day to day, even year to year, routine....but extrapolating that to mean 'my little Cuddles would never X if Y happened' is dangerous and selfish.

Maybe think of it like one of those big walls of post office mailboxes......behind the wall is your computer and an app might be waiting for a message at box 22 or box 45678. You could close all the boxes and nothing could get in, or you could open one or all of them and allow people to deliver messages to them.

If you connect your computer directly to the internet, anyone who knows your IP address could say 'deliver message X to port 22 at ip address and the program watching that box would get the message.

If you put a router in the mix, and multiple computers, the router has the same block of boxes, but if someone sends a message to one of the boxes it just sets there. If you set up 'forwarding', sending a message to your ip address gets the message to the router, but if you forward box 22 from your router to a specific computer on your network, then the router takes a message at box 22 on itself and 'forwards' it to box 22 on whatever computer you specific (using internal ip addresses).

You could map box 22 on your router to any other box on your computer....like port 22 coming into your router might get sent to port 155 on your computer...this is useful if you don't want external people just exploring and lazily breaking into your computer using known vulnerabilities. Lots of ports are 'common', so an ftp hack on port 22 is easy, and might be 'slightly' harder if you tell your computer to actually look for ftp traffic on port 3333 or something.

Because an precedes a word that starts with a vowel sound, not just because they start with a vowel letter

Some presidential candidates benefit from being punched repeatedly in the face. Let’s not demonize presidential candidate face punching so quickly either.

Same reason people have gone on for a million years. Noe of that matters or is really as bad as it sound at an individual level. Individually you have it better now than at any point in history, asking why ‘you’ should go on because of the unknown future effects of the climate crisis (which is real enough, and shouldn’t be understated) sounds more like depression than a valid outlook that people should have considering actual world events.

Even the worst off people on earth, on average, are better off now than they were 1000s or even 100s of years ago. There have always been poverty, starvation, wars, rich taking advantage of the poor, and fewer safeguards or oversight on top of that.
