Classical Liberals and especially Neoliberals (what the Democratic party is) are solidly against nationalized industries and while liberalism is ok with either laissez-faire or regulated markets, neoliberalism is strictly anti-regulation.

Socially democratic nations (Nordic nations being the most consistently socially Democratic) have nationalized industries (Norway has its energy, transportation, finance, and communications all nationalized).

Probably the closest the US has ever been to social democracy was when social security and the new deal were enacted. The Democratic party has never been majority Socially Liberal to my knowledge, which is one step right from Socially Democratic, which is yet another step right from Democratically Socialist.

Not a perfect fit but anyway.

I remember at one point getting home from work and realizing my phone wasn't in my pocket so I started searching for it. The overhead light in my car wasnt bright enough so I used my phone light to look between the seats. I did not realize I had had my phone in my hand for another 5-ish minutes.

Phone not in pocket- phone in hand.

His name was Garry hoy and he was a lawyer in Toronto funnily enough he was right about the glass - it was the window frame itself that failed.

Have you messed around with making anything in a vaporwave aesthetic?

Switch to goat bladders.

  • naturally produced
  • reasonable capacity
  • durable
  • biodegradable

The exact same problem is cropping up twice here.

Women are raped at a high rate, and often when they come forward they are defacto treated as if they're lying. At every step, quite often- not just during the trial. The "believe women" political push was about women's testimonies being taken more seriously, because currenty everyone expects a much higher burden of truth from them, and thus most cases are dismissed. Of course, conservatives with antifeminist motives chose to scarecrow the movement as they've done with literally every feminist initiative.

On the other end, black folks- black men especially- are also subjected to a much higher burden of proof than white folks. Juries regularly find black men guilty of charges with little to no evidence past testimonials from the victim. That's ultimately why this guy took the plea deal- he and his lawyers figured he couldn't win a fair trial.

These are still both issues with not just our justice system, but our society as a whole, and both need to be addressed.

Gender in puritanical definition clumps sex, sexuality, temperament, and cognitive ability into a single binary, and then takes that extreme quotient as justification for enforcing dress codes, vocations, social norms, etc. Along those gender lines. It is no wonder people are confused when first introduced to that concept.

I think the most major ones are

  • Tarkov
  • Valorant
  • Overwatch
  • Fortnite

If you know any other major titles LMK

Whenever that switch to linux comes, I recommend linux mint.

Works out of the box, the community using it seems friendly and happy to help, and can be pretty easily configured to fit with windows habits.

I mean, I'm not just talking about the guns. Imagine you're at the bank, and then an individual in full tactical gear materializes behind you. He has a substantial amount of ammo and disappears every time he reloads. Molotovs, grenades, hell, you could even fit a flamethrower. You could fit a massive bomb into that space if you wanted. And you could potentially completely escape the effects of the blast inside you pocket dimension.

I'm not so sure about the smuggling thing. You would still likely be found out, since you'd have clientele and would be traceable to them either via phone, online messaging, or in-person interactions. Sure, you are immediately known about in the terrorist cases but you could pretty easily hide out pursuit, potentially getting away with multiple attacks, and there'd be little-to-no indicators of what's about to happen for the victims until you appeared.

Like, this is some shit straight out of The Boys.

This is a terrifying power, I gotta say. Like a dude could carry an entire armory around and deploy it Looney-toons-style wherever he wanted.

I would probably just put a bunch of shelves in it and use it as a personal EDC gear storage space. 3m^3 is more than enough space to store pretty much anything you might need in a jiffy.

There's also apart of me that thinks putting a bed in there would mean not having to bring a date back to your place or to a hotel - but being real I'd probably never use it if I set it up like that.
