You can also assign some more blame to FDR for not having the masterminds of the Business Plot hanged.

We had a song in Sunday School that was just the books of the Bible. I could hear it in my head while reading your post.

We also don't send them to die en masse in human wave attacks.

Since when was subway a "small business"?

It's a franchise. Subway owns the name and sets the menu/standards, then pays franchisees to start and run locations in exchange for a (huge) cut of the profits.

The way I see it, just because it is lawful doesn't mean it's right. That's what you get for hiring children.

It's a smear campaign when compared to Trump's behavior. On one hand, we have an old guy with a stutter who (at the very least) is still wise enough to surround himself with competent people. He may forget some things, but if you examine his record these past four years, he has wildly exceeded my very low expectations and demonstrated why he managed to make it to the Presidency.

On the other hand, you have another old guy who cannot open his mouth without telling bald-faced lies and whose mental state is rapidly deteriorating. Not to mention the crimes he's committed. And yet, despite all this, the media is talking about how Biden is old and needs to drop out of the race, and not Trump.

Now, why do you think that is?

My tinfoil hat conspiracy is that because Biden has shown a willingness to go after corporate interests, the money people want him gone. Hence the smear campaign.

Biden may be old, but he's at least wise enough to surround himself with competent people. We can (and should) do better, but more turmoil and uncertainty is just going to drive us into the clutches of fascism.

That's my line of thinking.

Given the image Jack Black cultivated for himself, being around anyone who wished for a political figure's death will work against that image, no matter how much Black may agree or disagree with Kyle. It's a perfectly understandable decision and I doubt it's permanent.

I'm thinking someone went nuts with the Photoshop. It's what Elon Musk thinks he looks like, and I don't think AI would be able to get that look just the way Elon wants it.

Super famous singer "offers" to be featured on your track

"Sure! I had my lawyer write up a contract; let me send it to your people and we can go from there."

If they're cool, they'll negotiate and sign a contract. "Just trust me, bro!" is never an acceptable answer. Protect yourself; have a contract before collaborating with anyone.

Some people aren't okay with their holy texts being warped into a cudgel and used to beat down the innocent.

Damn, if that isn't a spot-on description of how I feel about my faith right now.

My parents don't understand why I stopped going to church, amd when I try to explain why, they say that they're different when they're really not.

I hate directional attacking and I can't turn it off in this game.

I have a physical copy of this game, but I don't plan on playing it anytime soon, and that's 100% of the reason why.
