I’m sure they’d eventually expand the list, but what’s shown on the screen could be thwarted with a thesaurus inside of thirty seconds. Which once again just goes to show how fucking shortsighted and dumb these bastards really are. They can’t handle written communication at a third-grade level.

Yup. People seem to still seem to believe that public opinion will somehow stop these assholes. It won’t, it’ll just get them to sic their fan boys on whatever source is reporting that opinion and push the propaganda more.

From the looks of things, about $4 worth of property was seized…

The longest standing argument between myself and my family is about the color of my mother’s very 1950’s bathroom.

They say it’s battleship grey.

They’re wrong. The tile and most of the fixtures are a dull, dusty light blue. Only the marble around the sink is a true grey color, which is why it looks so obviously out of place. The room gives me fits and no one else can see it.

It’s a feature, not a bug. Part of the plan all along. If it weren’t for the charges getting dropped, I’d say it’s the whole plan.

Yup.

One headline after another about how much trouble Trump was getting himself into by pulling stunts like this, and little to no consequences for it.

I got a sneaky suspicion that the “Liberal Media” actually loves him. They can make millions on low effort rage bait headlines for the next four years.

That and self-promotion. Never forget that people like him have a pathological need for attention. It’s pure speculation, but I can imagine that when buying Tesla and promoting it as his own, he expected that he’d be hailed as a savior by those concerned about the climate. When the cracks started to show and the people began to rightfully critize him, he pivoted to another group of rabid fan boys. I would hazard a guess that as long as he gets a steady supply of money and praise, he doesn’t really care about any of the issues he’s currently championing, he just needs someone to make him feel popular. You’d almost pity him, except for the fact that he’s willing to fuck over millions just to feel better about himself… so fuck Musk.

Absolutely. Musk and RFK look uncomfortable, Junior barely knows where he is as usual, and Trump looks relaxed and pleased. You know exactly who’s idea this was.

A rather astute observation found in an unlikely place, and one of my favorite move lines of all times.

The ship was built as simply as possible and fueled with the precise amount needed for it’s weight, there was nothing else to jettison besides the young woman. The plot was intentionally structured around an impossible scenario because the editor of the magazine the story originally appeared in wanted to subvert the “engineer action hero saves the day with a clever idea” trope that was common when it was written. The heavily contrived scenario is the weak point by most people’s estimation, but overall the writing is well done and characterizations are very good.

The story bugs a lot of people due to the total lack of any safety margin for such an important mission as delivering emergency medical supplies. A guy named Don Sakers even wrote a rebuttal called The Cold Solution that was meant to point out a few things the original story overlooked without the idea of a bare minimum ship being changed.

He knows. He knows it’s bullshit. He doesn’t care that it’s bullshit. It gives him and people like him more power, and that’s all he cares about.

I had intended the ‘Carry on’ as a sort of friendly valediction, but this was a fun bonus.

Well, that’s certainly a unique approach to dealing with a national crisis. Carry on.

And I suppose you’re the only one of those around, right? So why tear into people about the state of the US if, by your own admission, it’s probably a lost cause? There have to be better ways for you to kill time until the end.

Good lord, they absolutely would have gone with her.

Now who’s being defeatist?

I live in deep red country, and work in a deep red career field, a lot of today’s Trumpers have never forgiven Obama for being black, popular, and competent. They took it personally. Harris is going to mobilize the fuck out of them.

I think she’s the right pick, I think she can govern well, I’m voting for her 100%. But the Dems need to be prepared. This was a dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t situation for them. But replacing Biden isn’t even a fraction of the work they’re gonna have to do, and AOC is on point for speaking up about it.

Not that I don’t agree with you, but do you really think the elderly edgelord forum warrior shtick is the best play? Taking a point from your own posts, is it really a good idea to post content online that might alienate potential allies? Food for thought.

Seems like they adopted the world fucking, transformed it, and diversified it into new areas. World fucking used to be about war, finance, manufacturing, and pollution. Now it’s about war, finance, media, fashion, manufacturing, the internet, politics, tech, society, food supplies, religion, pollution, and making the rich feel better about themselves.
