  • One thing I liked about Kbin was that I didn’t upvote my own post. All my votes were earned.

  • If Republicans could feel shame* I’m sure they’d be very upset.

    about anything other than sex

  • In this very interesting video Tom Nicholas describes the transition from modernism to post-modernism to a new thing called metamodernism.

    One thing he points out is that post-modernist political parties of all stripes avoided having actual stances and thought just playing the part of a politician - wear suits, use the right hand gestures, say the right words - was enough to get elected.

    This is almost exactly what Schumer is doing here. As a post-modernist politician he can create his own reality and ignore actual facts.

  • Oh wow that's not something that's been tried a bunch of times before and has failed every single one.

  • They know I vote every time, and I vote blue no matter who.

    Why should they care what I think if I'm not willing to not vote for them?

  • This would imply I know anyone whose vote wouldn’t probably be against my goals.

  • Okay then why does it feel like I’m ignored and voting is useless?

  • Yeah but at least they’d have style. Their popularity would at least make sense. It would feel a little less horrifyingly alienating.

  • I’ve. Done. Been. Voting. In. Primaries.

    It. Don’t. Work. When. The. Country. Is. Fundametally. Conservative.

  • “I don’t belong to an organized political party. I am a Democrat.” - Will Rogers

  • Plus pollen means having to pay to clean it off.

  • At first I thought this was some kind of toxic management fad where you only hire people you can berate into following orders.

  • I wish had no scruples because then I could sell people angels for $1,000

    I love how the most devout Christians are always always complete shitheads

  • [The CEO of BYD] is a combination of Thomas Edison and Jack Welch

    So he’s a ruthless asshole?

  • Can’t wait for a gay doctor to deny treatment for a bigot and all their heads explode.

    (They’re heads never actually explode and this bothers me.)

  • America, unfortunately

    I don’t know how we call ourselves free when we still have a Burger King

  • I don’t know I’m a pretty anti-American American. Though that’s the least of my problems with Mackers

  • Richest by GDP. And extracting all the wages they pay us is the optimal way to maximize GDP.

    Money sitting in accounts making interest does not contribute to GDP.

  • I got a decent refund so I’m okay for one paycheck as long as I can fix my car for cheap
