“Normie” is indeed used on 4chan but it didn’t originate there. Yes I agree that “based” was popularized by 4chan. Not so sure that “normie” was.

Yes but if you go on /pol/ for an hour you are guaranteed to see nazi shit. I don't think they were saying that one nazi on the board means it's a nazi board, I think that part scales up when mapping the analogy to real

I could be wrong but I don't think 'normie' came from 'normalfag'. I'm somewhat skeptical that 'goyslop' was the first use of 'slop' in this way too. And of course 'based' comes fr

Amending the Constitution to create a judicial law enforcement agency would not, in itself, be a Constitutional crisis. Or if you meant that such an agency could then cause one, yeah that could happen in theory, but so could the Executive c

Democracy doesn't mean that a plurality of voters in a single presidential election gets to overturn the Constitution and established law.

So you support impinging on free speech as long as the majority of voters is against something? That's exactly the kind of thing the Constitution is meant to prevent. Or do you agree that it is not a violation of free speech to fund

Or we could fix it now, before the Constitutional crisis, which is what we were talking about from the start.

Like a doomsday cult, with each failed prediction they will just keep pushing back the ostensible payoff. So far, we've seen "I will end inflation on day one" -> "this is still Biden's inflation" -> &quot

> That leaves the executive, and personally I don't see a problem with enforcement living there. What if the executive just decides not to enforce the decisions of the legislative and judicial branches?

Europe definitely has nicer cities. IMO the main reason to visit the U.S. is its National Parks. NYC is cool too for the diversity of cultures.

Never heard of anyone getting paid to do anything like digging ditches and refilling them; is this a real problem?

Evidence that the "vast majority" of low skilled people in cities find "no employment or employment in illegal activities"?

I seem to recall the shortage being "dire", but short-lasting. The market adapted and supplied the needed materiel. Is there any evidence or theory showing that a more protectionist system would fare any better?

Kind of like switching to supporting Russia so your allies think you're no longer a reliable partner and start beefing up their own militaries.

I would kind of like to see some more point-and-click adventure games. There's nothing really fun about walking in games and point-and-click means that every moment of the game can be a perfect painting exactly as the artist visualized

I believe that the group pulling out the dead trees was wrong. A good search term for this topic, btw, is "large woody debris".
