This is how I feel as well.

The Democratic party has stood by at best and enabled at most. Are they better than Republicans? Yes, in that they don't actively do some things they allow Republicans to do.

A friend of mine described it as a dad (Republicans) molesting his kids. Mom (Democrats) know it's happening, but can't bring herself to do anything about it. Is mom better than dad? Technically yes?

Anyone advocating for working inside the system to change the system is hoping the person enabling your absuser finds a conscience. It won't happen.

Go no contact. Vote third party. Vote independent.

This just in. Psychopath trying to control reality wants to control the imagination as well.

From knowing a little about recruiting, if you have a bachelor's degree and apply, they're willing to drop one of their employees who barely finished high school.

It's not worth it to replace an underperformer with someone else who'll likely underperform. But if you can start with someone you deem "better" because they have a slightly more expensive piece of paper, it's more worth the risk.

Fingolfin is about to get a fitbit for Christmas with a cryptic note about how it'll come in handy.

Because it's self serving.

If Bibi is a war criminal for leveraging an admittedly horrible terrorist attack to commit horrendous atrocities, so is Joe Biden.

What the US did in the 2 decades post 9/11 is no better or worse than what Israel is doing now. Accountability for one means accountability for the other, and Biden doesn't want to be held accountable.

Nah, the Buddhist leaves the oreo in the milk until they become one.

Unfortunately for veterans, they aren't risking their lives for their country. They're risking their lives for the special interests of corporate oligarchs who couldn't care less about them.

What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?

My wife is a teacher, so we use her healthcare, but I still peek in at the healthcare at my job when enrollment comes along, just to be diligent.

It went up 20% this year, from $600 to $720. If you make $30K a year and got a 3% cost of living adjustment, you make less this year than last year from healthcare alone.

Food, gas, rent, cars, childcare, utilities, everything is up. I guess it's cool that US steel or something might be doing well, and the stock market is up, but that minimally affects the day to day of most people.

My guy, Biden blocked a railroad workers strike because it endangered corporate interests, and he didn't give them a key piece they were asking for: paid sick leave.

I ran Fedora on my Framework when I first got it, a couple years ago, but the battery life and sleep behavior was just awful. Love Linux on desktop, hate it on a laptop. Should I revisit?

Yes. Special forces are vetted with lots of testing before joining. However, once they're done doing things that make many psychologically stable people very unstable, they're released back into the general population with little to no help or followup.

I see lots of people talking about how bad this is, but I haven't seen anyone talk about it in light of Trump's utter mishandling of Hurricane Maria.

It's been 7 years but it's absolutely salt in the wound.

Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.

It's sad how much this will hurt good people who work for the Washington Post and how little this will affect Bezos.

And a $199 stand for it, sold separately.

So many options for the title:

Jiminy Cricket is a Putin plant.

America's Collective Conscience: Misguided or Manchurian Candidate?

Ask not what your country can do for genocide, ask what genocide can do for your country.

This is so much satire that it's a little hard to tell if it's satire.

He needed 2 or 3 years to explore student loans. Maybe this is more complicated, so it will take infinitely longer.

Here's the one I have:

I have another Logitech one that cost about $25.

I really, really like it. They're really durable, easy for a kid to use, and pretty inexpensive.

Only con is if you drop it and the ball pops out, it can roll under the couch.
