I'm decently confident that if we don't see it with Biden we'll see it with the candidates who come for 28. I'm crossing my fingers for Whitmer right now, plenty of progressive bonafides, runs a solidly blue government in a swing state quite well, and the Redcaps literally plotted to kidnap her and do a lot of other nasty shit I won't write out to her so we're hardly gonna have to worry about her not taking the threat seriously.

Unless you're literally moving across the world there's no excuse. Just take the train and get a sleeper car if you need to travel long distance continental.

Order take away from the start if you want restaurant food so bad, wait for the movie to come out on stream if you want to see it so bad, just stop putting your loud and uncontrollable kids onto everyone else.

If you spend half the energy actually parenting the kids that you just did defending why you shouldn't have to even if they disrupt everyone else's time in public, you'd have kids that wouldn't be an issue well on schedule.

Yeah but the polls didn't significantly falter, they're still statistically tied with only a margin of error shift since the debate.

This isn't an organic moment of partisan reconsideration. It's being pushed by the same folks who were already loudly and obnoxiously telling us about how they don't like Joe and threatening to vote protest or skip voting because, shock of shocks, nobody primaried the sitting president and risk sowing division right before an election where the other candidate is Hitler's inbred pet mango.

Horse Race reporting, it's literally all the mainstream has to say people are concerned about because his performance actually holds up when you check the stats.

But if you dare say that people are literally being manipulated into thinking he's worse than he is you're "not understanding the median voter's struggles"

We need to force the sale of news corporations to the journalists so this profit maxxing bothsidesifying shit can go the way of the dodo.

My sickness is finally clearing up after weeks!

Honestly, publicly accessible HSR would be a dope way to travel with little ones, just flip the TV on and lock the door to the sleeper car room whenever you need to take a break from the railcation and get food or something.

Family carriages can even have a diaper dispenser and changing station in the room!

Yes but being made to fly actually hurts them because they aren't ready for the pressure differences.

They aren't crying just for the hell of it as much as everyone likes to joke about that being the case, that's literally the only way they have to express that they need something or that they're in some kind of distress for a good stretch of the time after they're born.

Until the kid is able to sit still and be relatively quiet all you're doing by forcing them onto the plane is imposing the very loud and painful results onto everyone else just trying to travel.

This goes for movies and restaurants and other such public places, though at least now you're not also actually hurting the kid by bringing them into that situation. Still being as much of an ass to everyone else just trying to go about their business though.

If you're mad that you're not allowed to go anywhere anymore, hire a babysitter to take the break you're imposing onto everyone else or maybe consider that next time before you bring a being who won't learn to sit still and stop screaming for everything the want and need for years to come into the world.

You chose to be a parent, goddamn act like it.

Yeah no you brought that shit on yourself.

• First of all, trans women actually show lower T levels than cis women because they're literally taking medicine that blocks its production, and yes, cis women do produce testosterone too, just not from testicles. So whatever nonse you think you're able to clock trans women with, you're probably accusing cis women and being a real douche about it too.
• Second, dead naming is genuinely just a dick thing to do even outside the presence of the person in question, because you're fundamentally saying that you care so little for someone that you're not even going to respect their preferred form of being addressed, which like, why would ya go out of your way to be that asshole. You're being that guy who insists on calling Tim Timothy all the time, why would you be doing that except to get under Tim's skin? Stop being that guy and just call him Tim like a normal person who doesn't need to have basic manners and zero effort good human behavior explained to them.
• Third, so you're admitting outright you broke community rules and are still thinking the post in question being removed is unfair? I'm not normally a fan of powermodding but bro that's not an excuse to be mad that you faced consequences for breaking the rules in broad daylight.

I'm just sus on if she's trynna get that baby on a plane.

Don't bring babies on planes, it'll upset the baby worse than anything and leave the entire rest of the cabin only slightly less so.

Too difficult for the clerk to find a keyboard with anglo saxon accomodative keyboard shortcuts.

They'd get Aelfig

Is it bad that my first thought was Eustice Kidd from One Piece?

Keep that boy away from magnets and we should all be fine!

I mean I want to name my first son Abe, but that's because it was my grandfather's americanized name (Ibrahim)

I think some geriatric sounding names are still respectable sounding enough to stand as good names for kids today. Dot and Conny I think would be good ones for girls and those are nicknames for Dorothy and Constance.

Y'know...I can't help but feel that an artistic illustration of The Art of War could actually do some pretty interesting stuff in the right hands.

What is this actually supposed to be a standing desk version of a baby bjorn?

I've long held that the independent executive is an inherently authoritarian device of state and government.

This is the final confirmation. Wherever the leader of the country can be safe from the direct intervention and punishment of the representatives of the people and regional leaders, they will inherently come to view the restraints and accountability of their position as burdensome limitations.

The united states presidency was built to incentivize chasing dictatorship. We need to dismantle it in favor of parliamentary style leadership.

Forget amendments, this is gonna take a whole new document.

Part of the problem there is that those streets aren't well kept to be used as protest avenues.

Plus they're so spread out a national effort is VERY hard to get off the ground.

The french are so known for protests mostly because they have a highly centralized transit system that malcontents can easily use to gather in the biggest city that's also the capitol and also, especially recently, decently pedestrianized.

They're basically all children who never grew up. They're nostalgic for when they were young and the world wasn't as scary feeling, and decades of being told that those times weren't the best for everyone have prompted them to backlash and double down. Trump is their messiah because he made them feel unjudged wanting to return to their childhood times of simplicity. Another reason why him dying of old age would really put a lot of these people well into the depressive mindset.

I mockingly refer to this dynamic as them clinging to him having made them feel safe to say the N word, but having dealt with my own missing my childhood brought on by my mom hitting a very solid old people decline milestone, I've learned to be understanding if not sympathetic to what's actually going on here.

Of course over tens of millions of cult members there are other parts in each individual, undiagnosed narcissism being the biggest one, hence why they're all so furious about the idea of their kids no contacting them over their beliefs. There's also the despair factor of the opiate crisis and the abandonment of exurban and rural settlements by young folks.

When these people see young folks getting horny for a highly developed high speed rail network, what they see is young people conspiring to not even have to come visit when passing through on a road trip anymore, and making city roads less accomodating to trucks and minivans in favor of pedestrianization just rubs salt in the wound by making them unable to go confront them for never calling anymore.

The Maga movement is definable as a High Control Organization, and Trump is the Prophet.

If he dies one of two things could happen, either 1) a new "great leader" is able to consolidate the base and keep the movement going, or 2) nobody is able to recreate that charisma enough to reform the movement, and as a result the entire thing collapses in on itself.

Trump suddenly dropping dead of old age would make the second very likely, he made a point of making the top echelons of the RNC dangerous to anyone who could make option one happen, because he sees anyone capable of that as a challenger to his authority. The king has no heir.

I genuinely think Trump dying of old age would produce similar results to the Republican Party that the Deaths of JFK and RFK (not the brain worm one) had on the Democratic Party. The fact that his base of support is on the older side would probably add to the despair of the whole thing, being a reminder that their time is similarly short.

I don't think we'll see very many of the cult snap out of the delusion, but we'd certainly see some have rather public breakdowns facing the absolute nothingness their devotion has wrought.

At best, they got a high for a few moments and returned to the state of despair they had been previously chasing the high to escape, at worst, they've lost all their support system to the sheer disgust they've felt over the cultist's indoctrination, leading to the wam bam combo of the despair in combination with inescapable loneliness, remember, a lot of these people are really just the "make the kids come back to thanksgiving again!" caucus.

I don't think we'll see infighting or civil warring among the ranks of the Redcaps, what we'll see is people who think that expressing grief makes you weak attempt to cope with what they'll see as their messiah just dying unceremoniously from the same hand that's reaching closer and closer for them every day, and before they got the rewards of vindication they had been promised by him.
