  • Nice excuses

  • Some function of axle weight and mileage would probably be the best combination

  • It just sucks you are stuck with two parties that don't completely oppose each other on all policy points.

    Republicans opposing Democrats on all points is how we got into this mess, blame Newt Gingrich

  • It's like the pain makes you really concentrate on the food

  • Now I'm no politician, but I don't think someone running against a "return to normalcy" incumbent should be giving positive views of the country

  • There wasn't any need to rush to get Buttigieg elected in the 2020 election, he's going to be around for decades

  • I have 5-20 minutes between calls at my work, so I've had plenty of time to sneak in some books on the clock.

    I've been rereading through the Cosmere, so Mistborn eras 1+2, Warbreaker, and I'm currently reading Elantris.

    To-read is Tress of the Emerald sea, then I probably should go for a non-fiction book to feel more enightened

  • I just finished Lost Metal myself, it was good stuff

  • Politics, the party in charge decided that the best response was to pretend the problem didn't exist and maybe it'll go away. Wearing a mask is a very public sign that there is a problem.

  • "Like a viper slithering around its prey, the CCP [Chinese Communist party] is coiling around Solomon Islands in hopes of tightening their grip on the Indo-Pacific region,” Dunn said.

    First impression is that the quote is unnecessarily dramatic.

    Second is that no, I think politicians should use dramatic comparisons like that, it's fun.

    Third was "Wait, vipers use venom to hunt, not constriction"

  • "I'm playing both sides, so I always come out on top"

  • That sounds like an incredibly shallow reason to stop contributing

  • Ten'Soon (Scadrial 4th Age, dir. Sazed Terrisman)

  • Nobody outside of your own circlejerk will take your politics seriously if you define the center as the abolition of capital

  • Bakhmut was a unequivocal Ukranian victory, what are you talking about?

  • Nancy Pelosi, one of the most effective and successful politicians in congress?

    That's high praise
