Because the rules for conservative and liberals are very different.

Democrats, by in large, respect the rule of law and their base will reject candidates that don't. Conservatives simply want to be the ones giving orders and not necessarily following them. So the Venn diagram of mutual interests only intersects when a democrat does something that both sides disagree with.

Republicans cry foul whenever a Democrat exceeds the debt ceiling but you don't hear a fucking peep from them when Trump causes the national debt to lower our credit rating.

We need to purge ourselves from conservatives. And the window to do so is closing quickly.

I've been thinking about something my college physics professor said. "The universe gravitates towards chaos and destruction. That's why it takes orders of magnitude longer to create something useful than it is to destroy that same thing. It's the story of all life everywhere."

Project 2025 is dangerous not for the immediate effects but its long term effects. It will take years if not decades to restore faith in our vaccine board. Years to restore our faith in any sort of government action. Decades to restore our relationships with our allies.

Bearing in mind that we vote for our representatives every two years and we keep voting for people like Trump.

We are at a cross roads. We will either purge our country of the alt right or we will become the next authoritarian country.

The window to choose which direction is closing fast.

Visual voicemail (voicemail transcribed to text) has been a godsend for me. The number of doctors offices that call with an unlisted number is staggering.

It's an evolution from when people used to take newspapers or magazines to read while pooping.

Because he is good at popping pop corn right? Because it was a meritorious hire. Right?

Right?

They could consent prior to death. They could even bequeath them to the tooth fairy.

In fact ...I'm redoing my will right now...I'm gonna add it.

Additionally, cities that want physically fit officers have unions that demand that they are paid to work out. Cities don't want to pay for that.

So, usually the fitness requirements are only used when applying but aren't used when you are in the force.

Exactly!

There's only one party that cares about hypocrisy. And it's not the fucking Republicans.

"drug and violence" are dog whistles for "black and Hispanic".

Statistically, drug use is about the same regardless of race but non-whites are prosecuted far more often than their white counterparts.

I could see a "NetZero" approach to electric charging where you choose to watch ads for free or discounted electricity. Which will then turn into you having to watch ads to enable the charger.

From the looks of it the characters have thrusters to allow them to move in zero G.

Not exactly jetpack but pretty damn close

Not just any spring water. It has to be from Nestle's Eternal Springs.

TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn...

Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.

The biggest eye opener for me is that Elon posted the tweet with little regard of how it looks to him.

Elon essentially admitted he knew that Trump was on the Epstein files and supported him anyway.

Yet no journalist has asked him this question point blank.

I recently did a rewatch of The Expanse and as much as I enjoy it generally, I felt like the last season was meh.

The grit was gone and felt like the show rushed near the end.

Maybe it's just me though.

Her average constituent sees turban and thinks Muslim.

She represents her district in more ways than one.

I hate how free two day "super saver shipping" went from $25 worth of stuff to $35 to "maybe a week? Lol we'll deliver it whenever we want".

I have spent maybe $2k total there now in the last year? Mostly things I can't buy locally or elsewhere.

They are protected because they are migratory birds. You can get a license to kill them if they are constantly on your property.

Hard disagree.

They will provoke an attack if they even think you're getting too close to their gooslings.

I've given them several meters and they still charged at me.

It's similar in terms of detail to Last Week Tonight but not as funny.
