last time the US did this, we had 700k covid deaths because bolsonaro refused to get vaccines in time
and before that, we spent 24 years in a dictatorship; our latest democracy is only 38 years old and it's being threatened once again
we cannot let another bolsonaro be the president again

(I’m not from Brazil but please read this before the elections as it’s still important)
From OP:
Please keep your eyes on Brazil, especially if you're from the US.
I do not like to post this kind of stuff but we are scared.

Hi, everyone.
Unfortunately, things have gotten a little worse.
Something happened to my sciatic nerve, so I won’t be able to work the night shifts.
I’ve been prescribed a course of treatment and some tests.
So I really need some commissions for a while.
Thanks for your help!

The scalper wailing "I've been nothing but loyal to this brand for over eight months and this is how they treat us?" hasn't stopped being funny no matter how many times I read it.
I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

This strategy is never framed as a sacrifice, but that's exactly what it is and should be framed as. A politician is making a decision to sacrifice certain people in a bid to win. That being the case, it's asinine and ghoulish to expect those on the altar to take it with good grace
It's not hard to understand why appeals to the "center" (which just means the right wing) come at the cost of votes on the left. This seems baffling to many of the "political strategy" minds on here whose apparent plan is to have their cake and eat it

I wish I was even the slightest bit surprised, but dude has money. Dude has been to space. Dude moves in circles where everyone's brain is currently melting from a combination of ayahuasca binges and computer-generated sycophancy.
A week ago at Dragoncon I met Richard Garriott at a panel about his new Ultima game.
Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language.
I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people. Please pass this along.
