Move fast and break shit!

And the internet complains!

And risks reversing it all for the sake of “both sides”-ing the discourse.

There’s a grievance liberals have that is being exploited for the sake of balance and it doesn’t help John’s past work to pretend democracy isn’t literally in the ballot.

He’s great provided the decade isn’t current. Right now I don’t see any humor in ridiculing Biden’s age and parroting GOP talking points.

No faith in the American project…

Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm to avoid the appearance of conflict.

Abe Fortas left the Supreme Court after serving only FOUR FUCKING YEARS to avoid the appearance of conflict.

Compare these two people to the current justices or trump cutting hush money checks WHILE IN OFFICE…

Basically there is no evidence in this country that being moral will keep you in power. There is no public incentive for the gov to do the right thing. Republican voters have now insured that’s not necessary. It’s pretty clear from now on the GOP approach is to outright steal what they want regardless of how bad it appears.

Hence Supreme Court justices telling you to get fucked if you care about their independence, trump saying in a court house how the US is basically bullshit, and Fox News nodding their heads.

Shit got real then.

Ignorance of the past isn’t really an excuse to keep being ignorant of the future.

“It’s a museum” is a reason why people ignored the British outright stealing India’s cultural heritage.

Sure it COULD be a monument to the ignorant usage of petroleum. But why are you so desperate to make it such?

Always a victim. Even if you’re a judge on the highest court of the land… you are a “victim” at the hands of those you judge.

They were clearly forced to act this way! They have no agency.

Lucky, not hero.

This is a person saying they don’t like what everyone else on the planet deals with daily.

Fortunately they were published enough to not have to care.

PROVIDED the bullshitter doesn’t turn inward. A PM with those skills unleashed on the team is hell, and is guaranteed to drive talent away.

“Minor risks” being whole families dying or key family members getting poisoned as we transitioned to a society where most folks don’t own their own cow/source of milk.

It’s dangerous to assume all those years of use were a utopia. We used leaded gas for how long and are only just now getting to understand the ramifications?

By your mindset poisoning a future generation with lead is a “minor risk” we dealt with back then…

The movie is bonkers by definition! Kinda the whole point. Hopefully the game can make the same!

Is this the King David interpretation?

They have so been slaughtered! This approach to US imperialism has totally solved for your concern.

Let’s pretend about that world…

As trump gasses these folks…

But it’s someone else gassing people… it’s not the same republicans that did it back in the day with the patriots act. No that was different…

Whatever “genocide person” does for you is irrelevant. You are someone desperately asking for others to solve your problems. At worst the rest of us will solve your problems, otherwise you might do it yourself but I have my doubts…

Keep it going! They are the same because history! They both USED Kissinger!

Foreign policy is clearly beyond your grasp.

With your approach… The end game seems to be ignorance.

Why did Biden do this?

Yea honestly I’m not defending cars.

As a cyclist for decades my shit is all about safety. So running heavy motorcycles through a bike lane is a big fucking deal to me.

But I’m also smart enough to realize the solution isn’t to ban cars nor is it to force cyclists into weird positions. Got to be something in between no?

Honestly it’s both. There’s shitty infrastructure combined with 2-ton passenger trucks. But you also have a society that while creating bike lanes, doesn’t create cyclists. Instead I see motorcycles driving down the bike lane, cyclists going against traffic, scooters cutting through shit like the end of world is behind them.

Really no one person is wrong, we’re kinda all wrong for not getting fucking organized.

The street doesn’t belong to anyone, it’s there to efficiently move as many people as possible, as safely as possible. That requires everyone to participate though.
