I really don’t like Coke at all. I’d try the RC its been a couple decades since the last time I had any.

I think they’re referring to the new Civil War movie.

How was this guy a mayor?
Trump has a decades long history of not paying his debts. I assumed all his lawyers would insist on payment in full first.

None of that logic works.

Random people can’t legally pardon anyone. That’s why they can’t pardon themselves.

The President can legally pardon people accused of federal crimes. It’s only common sense that stops one from pardoning themselves, not the law.

Murderous assholes sure, but coward? Not sure what you’re referring to with that one.

Steve, 4 months ago

it gets harder for the media to pretend that any of the also-rans are relevant to the race.

Do you mean the Republicans? As far as I could tell, the major networks basically ignored the Democrat hopefuls

Bots wouldn’t have that many spelling and grammatical errors.

Primarily because if courts admit it’s fallible, everyone convicted in part on bite evidence would need to be retried. Which would be a crazy amount of work. And people are lazy. Epically courts.

They did nothing when the decision was leaked.
Nothing when it was official.
Nothing in the years since.
Why?

So they could use it as campaign chip in this election.
Fuck off.

Both parties use their constituency as pawns, rather than employers. It’s why we all need to support Represent Us and the Forward Party who are trying to make our representatives actually represent us.

That’s what happens when you try to say eight things in two sentences.

Given that dumb requirement, I think they did a decent job.

I would agree. But the cable news business model won’t survive decades. I’d be a little surprised if FOX News is still around in a single decade.

Yes! I would love to vote for anyone from any party, who has done one thing that transfers wealth from the shareholder class to the working class. For my entire life (born in 1980) every law I’ve ever heard of has done the opposite, and I’m sick of it.

At no point have I felt excluded for being white, nor threatened by what has been shared.

Right. Of course not. That’s not the issue. The issue is that minority history months treat the minority history as something separate from ‘normal’ history. Instead minority histories should be taught as an indistinguishable part of the respective time period.

The fact that you didn’t learn those new things in history when you were in school is the problem. That’s where the solution and proper equity is to be found.

That’s fine on it’s own.
As long as it doesn’t take away from fixing the actual problem. The way student loan forgiveness eclipsed trying to actually control higher education prices.

Yes? Probably? It depends a little on why you’re using quotes. I assume you don’t mean the literal academic theory. And instead mean some kind of more reasonable version, of what Republicans and conservatives seem to mean (and irrationally fear) when they use the term.

Steve, 5 months ago

Of course that’s their answer. It would be breaking HIPAA laws to tell the press. Or the police, unless she was in custody.

Steve, 5 months ago

I’m not sure if that’s insane or brilliant.

There is a long history of law enforcement not taking threats of violence seriously, when they come from white conservative groups.

The Secrete Service might. As far as I know they take all threats to the president as pretty serious. But that only helps the president, not the rest of us.

I’m an XRay Tech in a hospital. I LOVE my 3, 12 hour days! It’s only an extra 4 hours each day. Then I have 4 day weekends, EVERY WEEK! It’s amazing! I could never go back to 5 day work weeks.

How many candidates did they run? It certainly wasent 24,000.

You’re making a lot of assumptions. People can go without many things you may think are basic.

Those 30yo people buying PS5s may be living with their parents because they can’t begin to afford their own place. Maybe they have 5 roommates who all pooled their savings for 6 months to buy it together. Maybe they simply don’t have a car.

There’s also the obvious selection bias of being in a Game Stop. You won’t see all the people who can’t afford a game console shopping there.

To me it’s quite staggering that someone who considers themselves “Well Off” can’t afford an occasional $500 expense. That’s generally considered “Living Paycheck to Paycheck”. I can only assume you’re overspending in some ways.

Steve, 6 months ago

So you’re right, people can and do go without many basic things, so where are they coming up with the $$$ for these PS5s?

When they don’t spend money on nice cloths and their own apartment, it frees up a lot of money that can then be used on things that are more important to them. Things like a PS5.

I can’t justify spending $500 for a game system when I have to buy clothes and groceries (especially groceries) and prioritize other expenses. I COULD afford to buy everyone in my neighborhood a PS5 - but seriously there are other things they really need more.

Being able to afford something, is when you don’t need to prioritize necessities over it. You have enough left over after buying your cloths and food.

Looks like that’s where you’re overspending.

Steve, 6 months ago

That’s called willful ignorance. You’re actively ignoring, or trying not to see another view point.

Steve, 7 months ago

Awesome! Honestly that’s more important to me than her being trans. I just assumed she’d be another lawyer. But having real jobs represented is great!

Steve, 7 months ago

But this seems to claim it solves some practical problem with parties. I don’t know what that problems.
