I’m not generally the type for this kind of meaningless comment, but it is just so perfectly apropos, I present the following statement:

womp womp

Because being poor, uneducated, and unloved with a chip on your shoulder makes you a likely Republican voter. I would bet the whole farm that unwanted children are far more likely to grow up to vote Republican, and I think that’s one of the primary reasons they fight against abortion, and any other policies that increase education and security for children.

I still don’t understand how we got here. My mom is a Botanist by education, with a graduate degree from a respected university. She lives in a small community right in the center or some of the most extreme wildfire risk in the country.

She brought up one day that if only her Governor would make sure the forests were raked up, the wildfires wouldn’t be a problem.

It’s so baffling.

Nah, don’t give him, or his voters that credit. Motherfucker has been this dumb his whole life.

He’s got to be the most extreme example of Dunning-Kruger effect out there.

Thinks he’s a certified genius, meanwhile all his handlers have to break down concepts for him in such simplistic terms, he ends up literally thinking injecting bleach or putting powerful UV light inside the body are the solutions to COVID, or raking a forest is an actual solution to preventing widespread wildfires.

Except capitalism could otherwise be called “Greed: The Game”

Capitalism takes greed and puts it to work as the center of an economic system. While greed has either destroyed or deformed communism any time it’s been tried at scale, there’s 100% no separating greed from capitalism - they’re inexorably linked.

I guess James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, and Peter Mayhew can now all ride together.

That combined with it being able to lock weapons onto multiple targets simultaneously, and also being quite stealthy so it can do these things way before the targets even know it’s coming.

If I learned anything from the movies, it’s gonna be a chianti.

Can’t speak for the security or that extension - I tried it once several years ago and immediately ran into the same problems. Since then, I’ve used JDownloader2, which is a standalone app, on both windows and Linux Mint. Works great for me.

One is the presidential nominee of the Republican party, the other is a has-been hack columnist. These two things are not the same.

How DARE people answer a vague question with their own experiences!! Who’d guess that a question asked in English gets answers from people in predominantly English-speaking areas?! Fuck all these people for not discussing the habits of the Layards’s Palm Squirrel and why Sri Lankan boomers love/hate it!

Huh, interesting. I guess this makes sense - to not take up a massive volume, breathing oxygen would need to be stored in liquid form, which means it would need to be kept exceptionally cold or under huge pressures (or both), and would inevitably boil off and need regular servicing. A chemical reaction seems to be a far lower maintenance (and thus likely much cheaper) option for devices that will hopefully never even need to be used during the service life of an aircraft.

but you do have a chronic farter right behind you

Plus Diaper Don right in front of you

Non-Newtonian fluid would be fun, but the Jesus run would get banned after the first season.

He can’t, as this is an ideological split between the parties and would need to go through the house as well, where it would fail. Bringing this up now helps inform voters of an issue that could be resolved if Democrats turn out and take control of the house while retaining control of the Senate and executive branch.

I see Vance more as the guy that’s chair of the HOA board, and drives around the neighborhood six times a day looking for any minor infraction to write up, but only for the residents he has beef with - looking the other way when one of his “friends” is in violation of the CC&Rs. So he’s the guy that puts a lien on your house while you’re in the hospital.

Another good piece of media on the topic from an ex-cop YouTuber: https://youtu.be/HZ3SSNJIQ2k?si=QBw2vtdbElmK8wvn

I think the chaos will be happening at State capitols this time. National Guard (generally, with some exceptions) report to each state’s Governor. Many Republican Governors will be all to happy to start shit up and look the other way just as Trump did on 1/6.
