Chani is a warrior in a gritty, survivalistic culture, not a clothes horse. She should look like someone who's been wandering round in a desert for days, because that's what she does for a living.Hey, he's "just poiting it out", right? Nothing more.
Secondly, by Frank Herbert's own design, the Fremen are more than a little Middle Eastern. Their language is patently like Arabic, and I think if you follow the history were descended from Arabs. That would have been a genuinely challenging vision given the current geopolitical situation, to remain truer to the book and populate the Fremen with actual Middle Easterners. It hardly earns "woke" points to chicken out from that and make them various shades of darker-than-whitest-white that are more comfortable to the USA's sensibilities.
I'll take desert nomads for $500, Alex.
If anything, Zendaya, and especially Bardem, are way too white.
The newly elected MP for Rochdale, showcasing the extremely short pipeline between the conspiracy nutcase segment of the left and the conspiracy nutcase segment of the right.
He seemed, at one point, to be a smart man who just held awful views. Then, rather than detox from his benzo addiction normally, he flew to Russia to be put into a medically induced coma (such procedures aren't legal in most Western countries for patient safety). He has never been the same mentally since returning from the treatment.
I think that's giving him too much credit.
My view is it's a been a long and steady descent since the early 2010s, and that unadvisable procedure was more a symptom than a cause. He strikes me as a mix of self-important and emotionally needy. He didn't find academia satisfying because it didn't get him enough attention, so he went for social media. When faced with substantial vituperation for some of his more objectionable views, like many, he just started doubling down more, and more, and more, chasing the heady rush of YouTube metrics and the dollars rolling in. The end result of this is to chase the lowest common denominator, and end up little more than a troll shorn of whatever intelligence and ideas were ever there.
So a decent, okayish, guy that became a complete biatch, and then became a bigger biatch in a box stand. Sucks to be him.
Yeah, somebody can stop him in the nuts.
Both are beautiful women. I would like to meet this person so I can knee bash them in the face really hard.
That's simple. If Trump's term run out there are two things he can do. He can take inspiration from Putin in either case. Either Trump abolishes term limits and abuses his power to ensure he has the power to go do this, or when its time to leaves he abuses his power over the system to force another Republican to succeed him.
The Democrats impeaching Trump was not overthrowing anything. It was just the result of Trump's conduct catching up with him. And even if the Republicans had done their duty and removed him then he'd be succeeded by Pence, so the election of 2016 would still have been respected. Trump being removed for his crimes is not the same as Biden having been forcefully denied office just to keep Trump in power.
Also attempting to stay in power through a coup isn't really ''the legal way''.
Not really. What's bad about Democratic policy is that its pro corporate. Republican policies meanwhile are extremely pro corporate. Rare is the time when Republicans go ''lets not do that!'' when it comes to spoiling corporations over the citizens.
It has very little to do with beauty and everything to do with skin colour
There are a LOT of people parroting this claim
Yeah, the right are misconstruing:
'lets make everything available to you within a 15 min bike ride so it's easy to get to' as
'we will force you to stay within a 15 min bike ride'
Like, they can't imagine this concept without having to place a border control down. They're just that obsessed. The Oxford city one had thousands of protestors.
Remember, a lot of this is trying to reduce house prices so they are more affordable, so it's always going to be bank rolled by those invested in property. Same thing with the movement to transform office space into residential. Investors would prefer to go bankrupt than use a different business plan.
Conservatives arent really interested in justice. They are interested in someone being punished for crimes. They dont have to be guilty
is beyond trump, he just their only viable battering ram currently
Yup, so it does exactly what the tweet says. No wonder even the residents just call it Misery.
Firstly, that is a lie. Using pronouns is not part of that bill. Secondly, the bill is going nowhere and not gonna be voted on. You guys really just do go on Twitter and stuff just to get upset don't you?
I literally don't because you constantly goal post. Everything I said to Trunkage was true.
There's tons of professions with job shortages, must have all be covid huh? Faculty were the ones mainly passing covid around and not the kids because covid hardly affected kids unlike how kids are the drivers of the flu getting passed around. I would think teachers would be able to distance themselves from each other vs other professions. Also, there was a teacher shortage before covid, I guess covid can travel through time.
The teacher shortage is real, large and growing, and worse than we thought: The first report in ‘The Perfect Storm in the Teacher Labor Market’ series
This report, the first in a series examining the magnitude of the teacher shortage, finds that the shortage is larger when teacher credentials are factored in and that high-poverty schools suffer the most from the lack of sufficient, credentialed teachers.

There was no push against vaccinations until the democrats tried to mandate it and it was shown to be unconstitutional. And, again, the left forced people to get boosted where the boosters actually did overall harm (young men) or else they couldn't go to college.
So people that got tested as being covid positive and never got any symptoms where contagious for 10 days? Come the fuck on. You're not infectious for 10 days with covid, that was never true, and just a number they pulled out their ass. Covid could've been treated just like a head cold/flu in that regard and it wasn't, plain and simple.
For people who have tested positive but don't have symptoms, "isolation and other precautions can be discontinued 10 days after the date of their first positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 RNA.”
Why would you make such assumptions? We don't make those assumptions about the flu. Again, it was called early by the right as well as THE LEFT to be treated like the flu, and the right stuck to that and the left didn't. Then you all b!tch about Trump calling it a flu and blame him for not taking it serious early on (causing unneeded spread early) when at the very same time that is what the left also said. Also, there was no flu or other upper respiratory infections going around because covid out-competed them all. Lastly, there is no reason to force people to wear a mask for an airborne respiratory virus, it's not going to do anything.
Early on they (media and doctors) were using the case fatality rate for the death rate, which is not what you should be doing ever. I think at one point, they were saying higher than 2% even. If you are going with that number, how the fuck do you downplay that as just being the flu and not a big deal? The problem with the left was when we kept getting that number more accurate and much much much lower, they covered the virus as if it was even deadlier than at the start when they were going off like a 2% death rate. Like it's unsafe to have Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and bullshit like that, it was ridiculous. Peter Hotez was still yelling at people for seeing Barbie and Oppenheimer last summer. That is the craziness of the left.
There's no set number because if there's a set number of like 2 million and then it ends up being 1.99 million, that doesn't magically make it OK either. You also had covid targeting very specific groups (like elderly people) so you can have portions of society basically living normally while you protect the vulnerable. Covid was less deadly to kids than the flu so kids should've have no restrictions whatsoever yet they got the most restrictions in the end (it was literally backwards). It wasn't a one-size fits all set of policies. Sweden basically did as such and did arguably the best in Europe. Also, at that time, no one knew how long a covid vaccine would take nor did people probably know how fast it would spread either so Maddow (or anyone) trying to guess when a vaccine would be available at that time was just pure guesswork. When Trump claimed a vaccine would be ready as fast as it would, the democrats pushed back and called it dangerous. You're also then ignoring the amount of people in poor countries that died because the well-off countries stopped producing a lot of things and providing services that those countries depend on getting. It's not a simple answer and there's tons of nuance to it. But no, anyone not for staying home and doing nothing wanted to kill grandma. Lastly, you're ignoring the fact that it's unhealthy to socially distance for so long and the left also forbade safe things like outdoor activities (because they went crazy).

The Trump-Russia collusion was a farce made-up by the Clinton campaign... It was not Trump's conduct or crimes catching up with him. Stop lying about the democrats trying to remove a democratically elected president of lies they created. Trump doesn't have the power to change a constitutional amendment. You see all this Trump fear porn and you think it's true. It's not true. Trump challenging the votes legally was not doing it "the legal way"? It all got laughed out of court yet I'm sure you've been told by your fear porn that Trump stacked all the courts yet he got laugh out of court with all his stacked courts?
Every covid policy was literally the republicans saying "let's not do that". And the corporations with tons of money that fund the campaigns donate to both, they get what they what no matter who wins. They don't even care who wins.
So all you as usual. You're a projection addict. Learn to get help and live with it.
