Today is also Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. I open my laptop and guess which holy observance was being featured on the search bar.
Here's what Google's homepage (mobile) showed me just now. At least it wasn't all ass up for muzzies.

People give MacArthur shit for quite a few things, but most of his "blunders" were either inconsequential or correct/justifiable at the time.
I actually think was as good as he thought he was. I have also been to his mausoleum and museum, which I highly recommend if you're ever in Norfolk, VA, his ego was huge, but also pretty well deserved. It's also basically in the shadow of USS Wisconsin, which is part of a local museum, worth a visit too.

I'm going to guess it involves doing intermittent fasting for a month, bitching about other people eating, and acting like it's the hardest shit in the world.
 
Most banks will not give you a loan for a double-wide/manufactured home (whatever that means) because it is not on a permanent foundation, even if it hasn't moved in 45 years, has no wheels and is up on six feet of blocks. They consider it a "possession", not "property".
May I direct you to the last sentence of my post?

"I could just buy that thing outright with cash"

Faggot.
 
He won't even leave the airport
If I were a guy like him I'd probably have a guy in a black suit telling me that I'll get vanned or murked if I do. Hajis would love the leverage and I'm sure the Israelis would love to see a guy who platforms their opposition meet an unfortunate accidental end.

Generally it involves giving something up from daily life of your choosing and going "oh what did you give up for lent" to other Catholics as a conversation starter. Christianity is not collectivist, so aside from abstaining from red meat for a month (or at least no meat on Fridays, Fish does not count as meat), and trying to avoid debauchery and excess, your relationship with God is based on your personal choices and means.
 
So Mamdani didn't actually propose any concrete thing to do with dogs right? It's all just a response to the tweet that other woman made? I imagine if she even had any position on his staff she doesn't anymore...

What's funny is I kind of support the idea of people in NYC not owning dogs, not because I think they're unclean or something, but because what the fuck are you doing having a dog in a shitty apartment? If you own a big herding dog in an NYC apartment it's basically animal abuse, unless it gets so much outside time that it essentially lives in central park and spends all its time herding pigeons or whatever.
I was wondering that too. I've only seen that tweet, which doesn't really tell me much without any context.

Like if we're talking banning dogs (including "service dogs") from grocery stores, restaurants, and the children's playground portion of public parks, I'm 100% on board. Dog culture is out of control in my area, and dog owners bring their dogs to lots of places where they just don't belong. But a blanket ban on dog ownership is insane.

For sure ban pitbulls though. Those things are a menace.

Man, I was talking about Ramadan. Some muslims in the UK were talking about getting eating in public during the day banned because it was too much of a temptation for them. Intermittent fasting is rough for the sand people, requires the smallest level of self-control and all.

Ramadan is so gay. If you're Christian, you have Christmas and get a bunch of presents if you're Jewish, you get Hannukah and get a few gifts throughout the span of a dozen days, if you're Muslim, you get Ramadan and get to starve yourself and deprive yourself of sleep. No wonder why they blow themselves up all the time.

If they actually had a month long fast, they wouldn't all be fat. Their "fast" is literally just skipping lunch and they more than make up for it by eating a gigantic dinner. Sleeping is more of a fast than Ramadan is.

I worked with some Bosnians before that were pretty hardcore about the fast.

Still, that’s minor credit. They annoyed the factory into letting them have their own special sundown lunch time on second shift and I’m like bro just do a taqqiya

Edit cause the thread hasn’t moved:

I literally lol’d in real life reading the comments, a world agape at Newsom’s blonde moment

Holy shit can the fucking SAVE act pass already. Swear to God the government has done literally nothing past the first week of this year
 
It’s a trick to even call them liberals. They’re progressives. Progressives think they’re still making progress well past when the wheels fell off

Like, “we should exercise tolerance for people who identify as trans” is a liberal perspective, misguided as it is

“Shut the fuck up and let them jerk off in your locker room, bigot” is progressive.

Progressives definitionally will be making everyone else uncomfortable. There is no end state in their conception of “progress,” you have to think of them as the people who already did everything in Skyrim but feel compelled to fuck with the janky radiant quest system.

As long as “progress” is your goal instead of something less abstract like “tolerance” or “meritocracy,” there’s no end to the game. It just goes on and on and on
They don't have any real beliefs at all. They were anti-big-business until big business endorsed Hillary Clinton. They did Hug a Chink Day when Trump began taking early measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus, then lockdown totalitarians when the Democrats thought it would help them politically. They were vax skeptics when Trump announced Operation Warp Speed, and then became vax fascists when the Democrats did an about-face after the election. They cared about the working class right up until the femtosecond the Democrats went all-in on open borders. Everything is sex, sex, sex, unless there's an attractive heroine in a video game, then she needs to look like a brick-faced dyke. Christianity's beliefs about sex make them lose their shit; Islam's beliefs are part of the wonderful tapestry of diversity--because Muslims help Democrats politically. They don't have beliefs or principles. They look to the Party for everything and don't think past that.
 
American traitor, Eileen Gu, is being a good CCP puppet.
She doesn’t believe it’s her place to comment on, say, China’s checkered human-rights record. For example, the U.S. government has accused China of abuses against its majority-Muslim Uighur population. “I’m not an expert on this,” she says. “I haven’t done the research. I don’t think it’s my business. I’m not going to make big claims on my social media.” But as a Stanford international-relations major, she could surely do her homework on this issue, no? “I’m just more of a skeptic when it comes to data in general,” says Gu. “So it’s not like I can read an article and be like, ‘Oh, well, this must be the truth.’ I need to have a ton of evidence. I need to maybe go to the place, maybe talk to 10 primary-source people who are in a location and have experienced life there. Then I need to go see images. I need to listen to recordings. I need to think about how history affects it. Then I need to read books on how politics affects it. This is a lifelong search.”
