Yeah, like I said it's mostly optics because a reasonable person should know this isn't ok in general, but the common voter isn't reasonable. At least that's how I interpret it. Thanks for bringing up the specific number, too.

So... Bumble then.

Yup, third one I've seen too. I didn't mind the catgirl one but it's already kind of messed up to meme with this asshole, but these last two aren't even very good.

Correct, although I imagine they don't want to risk the optics of coming to the rescue of everyone only to find out after a court case that at least one of those people were actually guilty, even though you'd have saved hundreds from wrongful imprisonment and stood up for the constitution.

Voters are just too dumb, I guess.

I know in the US that bottom surgery generally doesn't happen under 18, and the same is true in Canada, no? It's always just for show, although I guess we can't assume anyone in the government actually pays attention to statistics.

Funny enough one of his better appointees, he might have been a big reason US inflation wasn't so bad after the pandemic, although Biden gets credit for keeping him instead of being a man-baby and firing everyone from the previous administration.

The irony is that senators are historically one of the safer positions in Congress, due mostly to name recognition, the six year term, and preestablished alliances within their party and special interests. Sure we talk a big game about primarying people but that doesn't happen that often, either (even when it should, like with many Dems).

Then again, these aren't historical times and deeply unpopular people like Ted Cruz might actual lose to a democratic challenger if he lost the cults backing, even with RNC and billionaires backing him, so idk. Maybe fear is correct.

People touting it as good news must really wish we had a regulatory government that cared enough to actually reduce waste by targeting Temu and Shein directly, plus any other fast fashion pedler. Maybe even create rules and regulations regarding consumer goods in general.

I wish we were in that timeline...

Edit: also inb4 Trump cuts exemptions specific to Temu and Shein since he governs with permanent Bizzaro-World rules.

His point is they only bring up the impractical annexation whenever they're trying to distract from some war crime or something. Same with Gulf of Mexico, blah blah blah.

Oh yeah. Very dead. Although my guess is he got murdered in the prison within a couple days or even hours. Probably the moment they went from "administration error" to "that guy was obviously in a gang".

Here's a fun take for you: in Japanese its 月曜日、火曜日、水曜日、木曜日、金曜日、土曜日、and 日曜日, which translates to basically moon day, fire day, water day, tree day, metal day, earth day, and sun day--- although it's really celestial bodies, the very same mentioned in another comment (e g. Mars is the fire star, Tuesday).

It's supposedly derived from Chinese, though they probably got it from Romen influence given similarities.

Anyway, the eighth day probably needs to be 天王曜日 (which is basically heavenly king day) or 海王曜日 (sea god day, aka Neptune) but I'm unsatisfied with that. Plus, honestly it's way cooler as an elemental theme so my vote is 電曜日, denyoubi or electricity day, in honor of Pikachu. That day would be super effective.

Concord

Haha, just kidding.

They won't. But I wish they would, as far as I've seen from my local LA government, they're also really poorly prepared. The plan, for instance, is to hold events across several major LA venues (and not build any new ones) but since our public transit is complete trash, it's going to be a logistics nightmare.

Basically us locals are going to straght up have to go full quarantine mode since the traffic is going to be so bad. And it's a shame, last time I heard at LAEDCs forecast, they really need the revenue.

Funny enough there's a whole section of social psychology dedicated to this type of causal attribution. See also: "it was lag!!"

Long story short: personal, stable factors we like it it's a success, dislike in failure; situational, unstable factors we like it it's a failure, dislike in success. Self-serving and group serving biases, basically.

I saw the post on Whitehouse website in my feed, it's written so hostile and misleading. They clearly want public broadcasts to be propaganda, though if their own site is an example, their bias is so blatant and their writing so amateur that it won't fool any regular NPR or PBS follower any time soon.

Too bad there's already plenty of privately owned propaganda...

Oh yes, although it's usually seasonal, or when they had a budget shortfall (RIP Greater LA).

My pa knows a guy who lost his job installing asbestos and if we stop using it you know CHINA is gonna use and make big fools of us, it's pathetic. Plus the news SAYS it's a witch hunt boiled up by BIG LUNG to steal money from hard working asbestos loving Americans 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

An official Whitehouse.gov page came up on my news feed for some reason saying how it's a grift they won't tolerate any longer.

I reported it as misinformation and hate speech.

Yup, and then if you do endlessly scroll all you get to see either very wild takes, porn, and/or extremely niche start up communities, depending on your level of federation.

Well that's one way to balance the budget, no more credit. We're fuuuuuucked.
