Barcelona was nice to see, but I probably will never go back. The tourism is so heavy that even when there on the off season and being incredibly nice and respectful, the locals don’t like you. Worth it to see the more famous sites, but when I go back to Spain, I won’t be going there.

Agreed. Get the heck away from Denspar and don’t even step foot in Kuta Beach, it’s not worth it.

Bali was amazing.

Depends on when you visit. I went during September and it was beautiful and not at all crowded. Didn’t smell, either.

Agreed. It’s for people who don’t like to sink deep into a culture. They want the short touch so they can pull back and leave asap.

I could never go on a cruise, the time constraints would drive me crazy.

I guess it depends on the type of philosophic thinking.

Uh, no, they definitely knew, that’s the point.

My anime days.

This was back before anime really took off in the US, so most people had no idea what it was. This was before the term “weeaboo” was invented, but I’d have been called one if it had been.

I asked about what my words were shitty, you used circular argument. Which means you’ve got nothing. Have a good day!

Again, great argument. I can see how you won all those votes to your side. :)

“you’re a Nazi”

Me: how?

“Your words”

Me: how do my words signal that?

“They do because they do.”

Great argument.

But you can’t tell me why it’s shitty?

What’s shitty about it?

A worldwide pandemic was not Trump’s fault. If you want to blame him for anything, blame him for listening to Foucci, who was seen as the expert and advising him on what to do. And actually, trump left it up to state governments on whether to follow Foucci’s advice. A lot less businesses closed in places like Florida and Arizona because they didn’t shut everything down.

Latinos voted for trump because they were sick of smug elites telling them they needed to alter their own language (latinx was a huge failure among the latino population), and how their hard work and earnings didnt really add up to what they felt it did, because of their skin color. Top it off with claiming that even though butter in places like CA is $7 and eggs are $6, the economy was actually better than ever before, and they were just too stupid to understand that.

Loving all these mask-off moments. You’re still here, telling Latinos that they actually didnt vote how they did because of reasons they gave, must be because they liked COVID era lockdowns or something.

Great comeback.

Do you think Dems aren’t backed by billionaires? Gates, Bezos, Soros, Oprah, the list continues. But what, the single billionaire throwing $$ at the trump campaign is the big evil baddie? Because he has a few more billions?

There is zero proof that he’ll be a dictator. My source is that he was president for 4 years and was not a dictator.

The only thing you’re basing your claim on is an offhand joke he made about fully shutting down the borders on the first day, then opening them back up with better safeguards. If you watch the whole clip, you’ll understand that.

He wasn’t “democratically popular” because the Dems suppressed all support he had. All those news medias that have been hounding on trump being the worst thing since Hitler? Yeah, they used that same power to stifle anyone who had an iota of a chance to get votes

What??? We literally saw democracy play out. You can’t even use the excuse that he lost the popular vote, he won every type of democratic way we have.

You know what wasn’t democracy? Installing candidates into primaries over democratically popular candidates. Hillary in 2016, Biden in 2020 and Kamala in 2024. In every single one of these primaries, they did everything they could to shut down anyone popular who showed any sign of having a backbone, even though they killed democracy as it happened.

What we saw was a backlash to a stifling of democracy. Democracy won last night.

Yeah, old school liberals. Free speech, gun rights, reasonable abortion laws, live and let live, don’t touch the kids, free and fair elections.

Doesn’t get better than that.

I’m with you.
