'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say

I don't know why anyone cares about this kid. He's the alleged shooter. The feds still haven't provided anything credible to prove he was the guy, no video of the kid on the roof with the rifle, no bullet, no medical report, weird people in the crowd causing a distraction, tampering of the crime scene, clearly fake text exchange...there are so many more important questions that need answers.

Have you read the text exchange? No timestamp, no confirmation on what platform the exchange even took place on so that the third party could verify their legitimacy, and their exchange just so happens to layout the motive, discussed the murder weapon, uses perfect punctuation, and just flat out sounds weird.

To be real, I have no idea if those messages are fake or not. At this point, nobody but the FBI can vouch for their legitimacy and they don't have the best track record.

do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?

You gotta stop thinking of it as a left/right thing. It doesn't exist. It's clouding your perspective. Populists vs establishment might be a better way to categorize if you needed just two groups, but that's still too simplistic.

The world is a messy place with lots of different groups trying to get power, enrich themselves, and push their ideology. Whatever ideology a group is pushing has little to do with having the moral high ground and will typically result in their own benefit.

Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!

Yeah, they took a shot at doing their pricing strategy backwards from everyone else. The game was cheapest when it was in early access and the cost has only gone up as they make the game bigger and better. I don't think it has ever gone on sale, but is easily worth the full price.

Why do companies always need to grow?

I see a great deal of economic rationale being thrown around and usually I love a good discussion on economics, but I believe we are overthinking the question. I would argue any group of people getting together with some shared narrative is going to want to procure more resources for themselves. This can be a family, a tribe, a friend group, a company, a nation, etc. It's just how we are.

Again, there is no definitive evidence that this kid was the shooter. He's only been accused of that by the FBI. You know, the FBI? The people that have a LONG history of making things up to protect their friends, the organization that is renown for destroying evidence. Looking at whether this kid was left/right/trans/gay/groyper/whatever, is a giant waste of time and energy.

Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??

Some argue that there are even more! I'm definitely not an expert on this one, but I remember something about Yahweh being the god of some town or village that then somehow got absorbed into the old testament god when tribes and traditions consolidated, and then new testament god is just a completely different animal. I'm probably getting something wrong, so don't quote me.
