Ooh, I wonder if I can finally pick up that guy in the medbay…

Edit No, no they did not. :(

jordanlund,

Calm Rick sounds spot on, angry Rick not so much.

Morty sounds pretty good generally but there was one line that sounded off…

Still, given the circumstances, I don’t know what else they were supposed to do…

“Hey, it’s us, Rick and Morty! From a dimension where our voice actor wasn’t caught grooming children!”

“Additionally, Mr Biden’s age remains a problem for many who believe at 80 years old, he is too old to run again.”

Trump will be the same age Biden is now in 2026.

jordanlund,

Pointless survey since we don’t have national elections.

We won’t have a real understanding until we can count Trump primary votes and compare that to the state by state results in the 2016 primary and general.

Then it’s matter of following state by state polling until election day.

jordanlund,

A lot of what’s being attributed to cognitive decline is a lifelong struggle with stuttering.

p.s. Trump is way worse with the word salad than Biden is:

jordanlund,

LOL - Or, now hear me out… OR he could have been about to leave the stage when someone off stage waved him off because they weren’t done yet.

Don’t believe the right wing echo chamber:

jordanlund,

I would not describe any movement in the US as “leftist”. :(

jordanlund,

“Gaming”

“Sub $1,000”

My gut reaction is “choose one”.

You might be able to get a gaming laptop under $1K but get ready to replace it in 2 years.

Sea of Theives is getting private servers with a big catch (i.imgur.com)

It was inevitable really and after 5 years Sea of Thieves is getting private servers. So if you would rather play without without having to worry about other players you finally can. The new game mode will be called Safer Seas and will have some restrictions while in a private server....

jordanlund,

I was in the beta, got my first little boat and realized it was not a single player game when there were suddenly four things I had to do simultaneously to keep the ship from sinking.

Here’s the thing… my job is talking to people and collaborating to solve problems for eight hours. As an introvert, it’s exhausting. At the end of my day the LAST thing I want to do is talk to other people. I just want to play a game.

jordanlund,

I could see a purpose for it:

“This is ‘propaganda’ kids. It’s designed to teach you things that aren’t true. Here’s how to learn it isn’t true, and here’s how to learn who is behind it and why they want you to be taught things that aren’t true.”

jordanlund,

We need to look forward to 2024, take back the House and get a 60 vote majority in the Senate, along with the White House…maybe then, things will change.

jordanlund,

Unlike the House, Senate races are state wide and can’t be gerrymandered.

It’s going to take a major effort focused on reforming the Supreme Court to flip those seats, but looking at 2020, we flipped BOTH seats in Georgia which is about as red as it gets.

jordanlund,

It’s less the economic definition than it is this:

www.dictionary.com/browse/banana-republic

noun - Usually Disparaging.

  1. a small, poor country, often reliant on a single export or limited resource, governed by an authoritarian regime and characterized by corruption and economic exploitation by foreign corporations conspiring with local government officials.
  2. any exploitative government that functions poorly for its citizenry while disproportionately benefiting a corrupt elite group or individual.
jordanlund,

And Trump should have been removed when he was impeached.

The Supreme Court was thrown into chaos because republicans refused to appoint any justices under Obama

Now, now, Obama DID get Sotomayor and Kagan. McConnell only blocked Merrick Garland.

That being said, in my lifetime, Democratic Presidents have only put FIVE members on the court, Republicans got 15. Carter is the one who drew a blank.

Nixon/Ford got as many in their two terms as all the Democrats since then COMBINED.

www.supremecourt.gov/about/members_text.aspx

Ginsburg, Ruth Bader - Clinton
Breyer, Stephen G. - Clinton
Sotomayor, Sonia - Obama
Kagan, Elena - Obama
Jackson, Ketanji Brown - Biden

Burger, Warren Earl - Nixon
Blackmun, Harry A. - Nixon
Powell, Lewis F., Jr. - Nixon
Rehnquist, William H. - Nixon
Stevens, John Paul - Ford
O’Connor, Sandra Day - Reagan
Scalia, Antonin - Reagan
Kennedy, Anthony M. - Reagan
Souter, David H. - Bush, G. H. W.
Thomas, Clarence - Bush, G. H. W.
Roberts, John G., Jr. - Bush, G. W.
Alito, Samuel A., Jr. - Bush, G. W.
Gorsuch, Neil M. - Trump
Kavanaugh, Brett M. - Trump
Barrett, Amy Coney - Trump

jordanlund,

Yup. I, personally, want 100% vote by mail. We’ve been doing it in my state since 2000, it’s safe, effective, results in high turnout and engagement, really nothing to hate.

Oh, except Republicans lose when more people vote. ;)

jordanlund,

Roe got overturned, changes the formula.

jordanlund,

One the author seems to have missed was the 28 month long DOJ investigation into Democratic Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber for influence peddling.

Ultimately, it resulted in 0 charges, but Kitzhaber was forced to resign and was hit with multiple ethics violations.

jordanlund,

I dunno if “serious problems” is quite it. There are 535 active members of the House and Senate, 50 active Governors, and lord only knows how many living former members of those positions.

Each case is a political tragedy, but coming up with a couple dozen cases out of multiple hundreds of people doesn’t seem endemic.

jordanlund,

I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that it took me ENTIRELY too long to figure out that pushing the left stick up and down accelerates/decelerates the ship. :( I had been using the boost to go anywhere and didn’t know how to slow down.

Remember when instruction manuals were a thing?

jordanlund,

For quick turns, reduce the speed. I know, I know, counter intuitive.

jordanlund,

And he’ll probably be out in 18 months or less.

jordanlund,

It’s a common theme:

“We want state’s rights!”

“Great, my state wants legal marijuana, gay marriage, safe and legal abortions, and physician assisted suicide.”

“No, not like that!”

jordanlund,

I get the pacing. I’ve been skipping the show until there were a decent number of episodes out, but after watching 1-3, I just jumped straight to 6. Does not look like I missed anything important other than Gandalf Ahsoka the White.
