Because they’re complicit. They can’t challenge the system because it works for them. Which is why the most progressive legislation is always proposed right after Republicans take control of either chamber.

The Democrats don’t want change, they want things to stay the way they are, or at least, only move to the right a little bit.

It doesn’t matter that one party is objectively worse than the other. That we have actual ghouls and goblins in charge of the government, because the other half of the government kinda wants them to be there. So they can point across the aisle and say “man don’t those guys suck? Shame there’s nothing to be done about it…”

Ah, so it was brought up in bad faith.

Prenatal testosterone has well studied effects but brain development isn’t one of them.

It’s equally possible that the default state is risk taking, and estrogen causes risk averse behavior.

Science: “we found absolutely no link between this behavior and this chemical. We checked multiple times and then checked everything we checked again.”

Some random jackass on the Internet: “BUT THERE COULD BE ONE STILL YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND SCIENCE!!11!”

At least two more.

The problem is that the specific argument you point to is often brought up either in complete ignorance or straight up bad faith. Communism bad, look at (insert one of like, 5 events here)

But let’s ignore the untold millions slaughtered, enslaved, or maimed in the name of profit.

He was a career criminal, that’s not the issue.

He was a big Nazi, and would say “two heil Hitlers” instead of three cheers.

I was a slightly happier person before I looked in to the guy being arrested here.

One step further.

Data centers must provide more clean energy to the grid than they remove.

Well if we deliver too much power all at once it’ll… Ooooooooooh.

Arm yourself. If you can move to a compound with like minded folks, all of whom are also armed, you’ll statistically have better odds than you will alone.

But seriously. Arm yourself

I have completely forgotten about what exactly Streisand was trying to hide. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the actual media she was embarrassed about.

I make Span-ish rice based on a recipe a gal I used to work with gave me. Her whole family was from Mexico. It’s pretty simple, do with this what you will.

2 cups long grain rice.
2 cups good chicken stock (I use better than bouillon).
1 small can tomato sauce.
A lot of cumin. Like a lot.
A can of adobo sauce (optional).
1 can of Rotel (optional).
2 tablespoons of butter

Melt the butter in a large saute pan (nonstick is wise), toast the rice and ground cumin until the rice smells nutty. While that’s going mix together the tomato sauce, stock and any adobo sauce or blended chipotle peppers you plan on using. If you don’t like it spicy I’d still suggest using a little adobo. When the rice is toasted and in the liquid and Rotel. I generally stir it together here. As soon as it’s boiling put a tight lid on it and let it go at a good simmer for 15 minutes. Take it off the heat, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork and let it sit for a few minutes. This is a good time to taste for seasoning and add salt if you feel like it’s needed. I find this gets better as it sits. Always better the second day.

If you plan on adding any veggies like onion, Bell pepper, or corn, I’ve found it’s best to saute them separately and add them back to the pan with the liquid. I’ve never added chicken but I would imagine if you use chicken thighs you could do the same thing.

Vance wants him to stay in through next year. He wants to be the longest serving president since Roosevelt.

That poor spherical cow doesn’t stand a chance

Can’t wait for the BTB episodes.

It is always ethical to steal from corporations.

Don’t steal from locally owned small businesses. Don’t steal from your community.

The wealth hoarders are stealing from you, however. Every single day, for as much as they can get away with. Take what they stole back.

I’m getting a breaking report here. Field reporters are telling me, sky blue. I’m not sure what this means, stay tuned for hourly updates

The article, below several “read more” clicks, does mention that it’s mostly just name recognition, and that she has a low chance of being the nominee.

But gosh it does feel icky.

Yeah it sounds like he went to replace a Honda pilot with a CR-V. Maybe a Passport? It’s insane to think of somebody calling that a large car though.
