Please do not perceive me.
Someone using their position of authority to parrot “god” is exactly the kind of person that created Mormonism. The LDS church was literally born from this exact sort of thing.
You’re absolutely right, it goes completely against everything the Bible tries to teach, but somehow I don’t think that’s going to be a very big deal to them.
I want to see Atlus mop the floor with Nintendo over this because Shin Megami Tensei had all these features 6 years before the first Pokémon game ever existed.
Way to dodge the question, Chuck
This way lies madness.
Yes, he was a human being. With all of the associated rights, responsibilities, and various other baggage that comes attached to that. Dehumanization of the other is exactly what leftists are upset at conservatives over, and is what leads to situations like present day Palestine and Israel, where people are killed en masse with no remorse. The IDF is reportedly having fun murdering civilians. The only way that happens is that they are taught these Palestinians are not people, they are animals. This is what it leads to.
Was Charlie Kirk a piece of shit scum fucking loser who deserved exactly what he got? Yeah, absolutely. I will not shed a single tear over this man’s passing and I wish they shot him an additional time in the knees first.
But he was also a human being. No matter how disgusting our opponent we should not stoop to dehumanization. If we must kill them we must kill with a heavy heart. To do otherwise is to dehumanize yourself.

That’s basically unenforceable unfortunately. Search engines are effectively made to be gamed by the way they function. SEO up to a certain point is what makes your website actually findable, it has just gotten out of hand.
Do we though?
This is obviously not a comprehensive list, but the main big ones that come to mind are The Grand Canyon, Mt Rushmore, Niagara Falls, and Yosemite.
The Grand Canyon is kind of cool, I guess. I went there once, said “Yep that sure is a big fuckin’ hole in the ground” and then continued the rest of my vacation. Maybe I’m just not the target audience but I don’t see GC being something that someone comes from, say, France to come look at, unless you’re a geologist.
Mt Rushmore is stolen holy land that we carved the faces of a bunch of old white men into. Go America. It’s kind of cool to look at I guess but the history behind it does not paint us as good people, and this also isn’t a natural wonder, it’s man-made.
I believe Niagara Falls is technically property of Canada but I may be incorrect on that.
Yosemite is actually great and I highly recommend it to everyone. However Trump is defunding the parks & rec divisions and trying to sell off national park land to development contractors, so the one actually really cool natural wonder that we have is in danger of becoming a parking lot.

There are plenty of neat places in the wilderness in America, because despite our hyper-capitalist-industrialism, the US is still like 40% wilderness or open land. But I wouldn’t consider e.g. Appalachia to be a “natural wonder”. Nice place to have a beer and go fishing, sure, but it’s not unique or special.
I look forward to other people telling me other American natural wonders that I’ve missed in the replies here, because I can’t really think of any other big ones off the top of my head. You’ll have some small local attractions sometimes - the Bottomless Pools and the titular bat cave of Bat Cave, NC were neat and fun as an example, and things like local caves or beaches or whatever, but you go one state over and ask people about them and they’ve never heard of them. Hardly a notable attraction.
I live in America, so I can’t say what people in other countries know about us as far as like, vacation destinations. I’m actually interested to hear what big natural wonders America has that are commonly known to the rest of the world.
You sure about that?

Police have arrested 474 people at a demonstration in London in support of banned group Palestine Action.
The Metropolitan Police said 466 protesters were arrested for supporting the group, five for assaults on police officers, two for public order offences, and one for a racially aggravated offence.
I am completely certain he would find some way to try and make himself the victim and most likely open a lawsuit against his “aggressor”
I’ve been encouraging everyone to treat this as the wacko conspiracy theory that it probably is, but hear me out.
MTG is one of the least credible people in the US Government right now and everyone knows it. She lies her ass off constantly. This is the woman that heard there was a wildfire burning in California and then went straight onto the national news to tell everyone that the Jews did it with their orbital lasers.
What better person to destroy all credibility of the Epstien files? Everyone keeps talking about them and won’t stop, so let’s “solve” this by siccing our attack liar on it. Even if MTG came right out and read the files on live TV word for word it won’t, and indeed can’t, be trusted by anyone. She’s the one person on the red team that they can safely let spout off about this without anyone taking her seriously. No other Republican will touch it with a ten foot pole, and everyone else talking about it are Democrats.
I honestly believe this is engineered to have the least amount of credibility possible while still technically “doing something” about the situation.

Gutted, and currently being shaken down for whatever remaining pennies might fall out of their pockets.
At this point it doesn’t even really matter, it’s just a question of whether anyone would step up to stop them. “The Rules” in general have already been well and truly trod upon and I’m not sure we make it out the other side of this without some restructuring of them.
He is a much needed voice of dissent that proves that someone, anyone, cares about what is going on. Anyone who does not speak out or act out against this is complicit, or else terrified into complacency and therefore still complicit.
Bernie can’t oust RFK on his own but he can raise a banner for others to rally around and perhaps force legislative action about this. It might happen. If he stayed silent then it is guaranteed not to happen.
It feels morally wrong to say I would have liked to have kicked that can another few decades down the road, but I would really have liked that as opposed to personally watching the downfall of my nation live and in color.
But I suppose so would any who live to see such times.
I’m not buying it strictly because I can’t support Konami firing Kojima from their team and then trying to parade the corpse of his projects around to get more free money. It stinks of the same bullshit that Disco Elysium does where no matter how good the game is, it is an objectively moral choice to pirate it instead of paying the publishers for it.
They’ll try, and our current crop of government would allow it
