I would love to learn more about pre colonization anything. I feel like other than Mayan and Incan societies there’s little info on cities, and I’m particularly interested in wildlife habitat before widespread human interference in North America if anyone knows of any good reads or documentaries

I agree, i was trying to also bring to light that he can have that much influence with an amount of money that could almost be a rounding error to him.

Still extra sickening how much billions are. Even if he actually did 45 million it would have roughly the same percentage impact to his net worth as me spending $100

Let’s say he donated the highest amount of 6 figure (i didn’t read the article), 999,999. His net worth is at 260 billion, would be the same as me donating $2.50 in regards to my net worth, and i consider myself technically pretty okay money wise. It’s absurd how much billions are…

I’ve posted this elsewhere but I hate this so: A “donation” up front says I’ll see what I can do, money after the fact says I’ll fight for you. Sounds like bribery to me. Not that the current system isn’t but backend feels so much worse

If you lived somewhere where the GOP candidate is going to get 65 percent of the vote basically no matter what, and in the GOP primary you had an incumbent, somewhat average, right wing conservative that you’ve seen work across the aisle in the state legislator ruining against a hard core maga nut job, anti vaccine, anti public schools, openly racist etc. Do you think registering as a Republican to vote for the incumbent in that primary sounds like an okay idea? You can still vote for the Democrat and make your voice heard there at the general election even though it’s essentially guaranteed he loses.

Or is the argument against this that if the crazy maga guy wins the primary there’s a slightly better chance the Democrat can win? I’d call it unlikely where I’m at, but could see tighter districts working that way.

I would be voting for the better GOP candidate in the primary hoping they win, and likely the Dem come general election, but since I’m in a red area I’d expect the Dem to lose but maybe help pick the lesser of two evils for the GOP?

I’ve been considering changing my registration to Republican specifically for primaries. I’m in SD, and the Republican almost always wins so I feel I’d have more impact trying to push the right left and can still vote however I want in the general.

Pumping blood to your organs even though you are fat!

Kongregate is still a thing? I thought the move away from flash games killed the names of my youth but I suppose they transitioned somewhere

Relatively on the right track, I’d up the nitrogen some so it isn’t all tied up in the microbial process, but things will grow

Can anyone explain what the Islamic State want outside of what the Taliban are doing that they are still somewhat in opposition to them?
