Next?

They’ve been messing with it every step of the way. They’re just being more obvious with it

I had thought of that possibility and decided to go with the happier option. I also don’t want to think too hard about the entire probable series of events. Surface level is sad enough

Not technically alone but if he had advanced enough in the disease, he would probably not notice that anything has happened…

I believe this would be a good definition for gallows humor

This was my hope once the results came in. That they’d be too busy fighting each other for power to actually cause too much lasting damage

Hey wait, wasn’t this exactly what they said Soros was doing

Built in tuning for filaments and printers was what sold me

Who could have ever foreseen this happening /s

Honest question, what is the GOP going to do when his 4 years is over assuming that he doesn’t pull a Putin and just stay in power until usurped or killed. They’ve gone so far into him as the leader that any challenger is disowned from the party so what happens if they follow the law and he no longer is able to run?

What I’d like to become the standard is:

If the question makes it super obvious the asker has zero clue what they’re asking or trying to do, lightly correct and steer them to beginner friendly resources.

If the question is competent but focusing the wrong direction or will lead to a bad habit, essentially, they know just enough to be dangerous but they’re about to be dangerous, more pointed and technical correction and steering them to either articles or better search terms to use.

If it’s a pointed question with the information to show they’ve done the normal information gathering and either need opinions that are beyond the theory or book standard information or they don’t answer the question, answer the question. Ideally also giving sources to back up your answers.

Bonus points if you can do the above without coming across as a dick. Unless they ask to ask. You can be a dick to those people.

fuck Athena

Not a wise decision but I’m willing

Oh they’re certainly going to take advantage of it

No, it’s Walmart saying that any costs due to Trump’s tariffs will be paid by the consumer because they’re not going to take a pay cut to offset the costs.

It’s the point where we have to be anti instead of just not. Being anti racist, anti sexist, etc. Calling out the behavior at every turn instead of when it’s especially egregious or burying our heads in the sand as was the norm for decades before.

When dealing with an active threat, a response that the assailant can ignore afterwards is a useless response.

I’m teaching my daughter the same lesson I was taught. You never start a fight but you sure do end it.

“it’s just a joke… Unless?”

Which is why I have zero qualms about teaching my daughter to stand up for herself in any and every way necessary to end a threat

I’m looking into learning Dutch and going to Denmark, tbh. Cruz winning, Abbott, Paxton, Patrick, and the rest being complete Trumpian ass-slurpers does not give me any hope for Texas going Blue

And every single local and state level election.

I didn’t say it was. I’m just saying that the main difference between Bidens campaign vs Clinton and Harris is that his bits are on the outside.

Sexism. The point being made was sexism.

The Democratic party’s policies have not severely changed between Clinton running and Harris running that would account for the lower voter turnout.

The courting of the less Trumpian Republicans and Harris not being an old white dude are the two biggest things that affected voter turnout.
