The writing was clear. The logic is questionable at best.

Some of my best memories of my siblings are from being crammed in the back seat of a car during a road trip with our Gameboys, trading pokemon and playing through Zelda : Legend of Time/Seasons and swapping catridges on the way back.

Gen 1 Honda Insight?

You need 3 rows of seating for 4 people?

Wild.

Ridiculous. It doesn’t have a serial number…

A model number on the other hand…

Probably, but practically all world leaders extol the strength of their military. That doesn’t mean that everyone wants to secretly attack Iran. The point of them probably being assholes is not evidence that Kamala would have started a pointless war in Iran to distract from trump being in the Epstein files

Yeah, you’re not really selling it. Multi-national military action against the Houthis after they attacked civilian ships (in response to Israel attacking Gaza) is not the same as an elective war started by two dictators with no goals or obectives at all. If those two very different events are indistinguishable to you, then we have nothing to talk about further.

I’ve heard this line before.

How far do you think she would have gotten if she said “we need like a C- tier fighting force?”

Literally every president in my lifetime, and basically since we had a standing army, has talked about how strong our military should be.

Considering that almost none of them (with one very notable exception) started a war with Iran, equating a strong military with a desire to attack Iran seems far-fetched.

Honest question: what responsibility, if any, do you place on the Democratic establishment in all this?

Probably similar, if not the same responsibility that you do.

The expansion of Israeli settlements in the west bank, and the treatment of Palestinians as second class citizens in on their own land enjoys bipartisan support in the US government.

Democrats are too willing to make concessions to try to flip middle of the road voters, and too fearful of enacting beneficial changes to engage the more leftist groups.

The Democratic leadership (both within the party and Congress) is selected by compliance and seniority, rather than capability, and momentum.

Democrats are too happy to preserve the status quo instead trusting their voters to turn out and take risks on disrupting broken systems.

I find the main differences between myself and the anti-kamala non-voters is that I understand that democracy is inherently a compromise. No candidate is going to reflect all your values. Every who makes it to the national stage is going to have positions that are unpalatable to some of their voters. I can live with continuing the status quo, especially when the alternative is a full on genocide, another endless war, more territorial expansion, the erosion of personal liberties, the undermining of elections, rigging of courts…etc.

At the end of the day, the people who held their vote or voted 3rd party in 2024 made a gamble. They gambled that trump wouldn’t win, and Democrats would get the message that they need to move further left to get more votes. That was the best outcome. What they risked for it, was literally everything. Food, water, shelter, rights, subsequent elections, the rule of law, and any possibility of limiting Israel’s genocide. That’s a fucking dumb gamble. Low chance of success, low chances of change, risked against an extremely high chance of losing everything. That’s a dumb fuckin’ bet. I have no idea how anyone with 2 braincells can look at the situation after abstaining their vote and going “yeah, I totally made the right decision, and none of this is my fault. I’m gonna go on the internet and brag about it.”

It’s funny to say this in defense of the people who literally shrugged their shoulders when it came down to a vote to prevent Hitler from taking office.

If we were on reddit, I’d cross post this to selfawarewolves.

If only trump didn’t have a well documented pattern of lying about literally everything. If only trump didn’t have a previously disastrous run as president. If only trump hadn’t spent his previous presidency firing all the “somewhat sane” people in his cabinet. If only trump and all his allies hadn’t been touting a plan for turning the US into a dictatorship. If only if only if only if only.

In a thread full of some of the dumbest takes I have seen justifying inaction allowing Hitler 2.0 to become the president of the US, your comment stands out dumber than all the rest. Congratulations.

Whatever drugs you’re on, keep them to yourself.

And probably has working nukes.

Ah, you’re young enough that language was developed “back in your day.”

I had to shit in my hand and throw it at someone if I wanted to show displasure at someone. Fancy words and carving hadn’t been invented yet. You want to go insult thaag, hope you had plenty of fiber the night before…

If you count high-school performances, I saw a cousin-in-law’s performance of West Side story.

If you don’t count that, it was a theater rendition of Evil Dead.

The people in the front 3 rows were provided ponchos and advised to wear washable clothes. I was in the back row and still got a bit of gore on me.

It’s all fuckin moot because most of them say something like “these terms can be changed at any time and by agreeing to these terms, you implicitly agree to those terms”.

Probably wouldn’t stand up in court, but most people don’t have the money to fight a court case they would obviously win, so that doesn’t matter either.

I believe the classical interpretation is to nail your 95 complaints to the door with a dagger.

Could be either, if there was other music playing first…

FWIW, I have some nice Logitech peripherals, and as far as I can tell, they do not have a management app for Linux. My KB and mouse are stuck in RGB mode, no custom color and no custom sensitivity or button macros.

I’d guess the wheel itself will work fine, but anything beyond the default controls and settings is going to be questionable.

Might wanna check with the rangers and park authority. It would be better to do that as a well researched conservation project, rather than just moving a bunch of tadpoles from one pond to another.

But it does sound like a noble effort, and kinda fun.
