Omfg he got away with it too.

When the British press reported on MacGregor’s deception following the return of fewer than 50 survivors in late 1823, some of his victims leaped to his defence, insisting that the general had been let down by those whom he had put in charge of the emigration party. A French court tried MacGregor and three others for fraud in 1826 after he attempted a variation on the scheme there, but convicted only one of his associates. Acquitted, MacGregor attempted lesser Poyais schemes in London over the next decade. In 1838, he moved to Venezuela, where he was welcomed back as a hero.

The Long March took place over many months. I don’t think these two are all that comparable.

As far as right-wing grifters go, I think the top row could be a decently fun blunt rotation idk. RFK’s unhinged stories are funny.

What’s a “dating personal”?

Also wouldn’t a place like reddit be heavily male-leaning?

Is this even wrong? I think if Kamala had been a white guy, she would’ve done a lot better and the Democrats might very well have rallied behind her instead of Biden. Yeah, she sucks ass, but she’s not particularly worse than any of the other Dems. The only reason she’s the candidate now is because she happened to be VP while Biden basically died during a live debate.

When I’m at parties, I’m always wherever it’s most quiet. Partially because my autism makes me very noise-sensitive but also because talking to people is the only thing I find interesting. Dancing to music does literally nothing for me.

is there a dating app specifically for pretentious introverts

Wish not getting laid and/or being in a relationship didn’t hurt my ego so much.

I just don’t feel like I’m capable of being in a relationship at this point and I can’t imagine hooking up with a person I don’t care about just for sex. I need a lot of mental stimulation and if I can’t get that from people, I lose interest in them. In that regard, I can’t imagine being with someone who’s not like me. I don’t wanna do activities, I don’t need to travel, I just wanna sit and talk, discuss, question, analyze, argue ad infinitum about anything and everything.

There’s definitely others like me out there. The problem is that we won’t find each other because neither of us goes outside.

Legends of Runeterra is mostly singleplayer now. Multiplayer is mostly on life support these days but it has a way, way more generous business model than any other online card game.
