Yeah I keep an analog clock on the wall because it’s a more intuitive way to keep track of how long I’ve got to get ready to go out. I know where the angle of the minute hand will be when I have to be out the door, so it’s quicker to glance it it and know if I gotta pick up the pace or I got plenty of time or whatever.
Yeah the Yankees are always focusing on the big name superstars, and not putting enough effort into the fundamentals. They make too many errors, and they have unsuccessful results. It’s all about the money with them, there’s no real heart to them, and that’s why they lose.
Wait, we’re talking about baseball, right?
Well the cereal is baked which is a form of cooking. But yeah, it’s not cooked in the milk, so a bowl of cereal is not soup.
It has something to do with some popular Argentinian cowboy that was governor of the Falklands for a while a long time ago
What the people that actually live in the Falklands want is obviously ignored by the “historical sentiment is more important than what living people want” crowd.
Yeah we just called it the sound effect it made when you got it… it’s just hard to type out the exact sound.
Sure but the Palestinian flag appears on the usernames of people spouting a lot of antisemitism. And there’s a lot of people claiming the confederate flag isn’t about white supremicism. So there’s a high probability of an AI scanning conversations and coming to the conclusion that these flags have the same meaning.
Maybe instead of looking the other way on antisemitism in the Free Palestine movement, people that are a part of that movement should be calling it out? But as always it’s easier to look the other way and make rationalizations about how it’s ok for your allies in a movement to be racists assholes.
No I’m saying we’re preparing for every possible contingency no matter how unlikely. You’re talking like this is a certainty and we’re unprepared for it.
You’re not quite understanding the probability of an economic collapse of the US, the probability of the politcal collapse of the US, the probability of that leading to a civil war. These are far more likely scenarios than Trump convincing the US military to invade and ally without that resulting in the military turning on Trump, combined with the probability of our NATO (two of whom are nuclear powers) allies also abandoning Canada, countries like the UK which would’ve been fucked in WWII without Canada, along with a bunch of countries Canada liberated. I know as an American you think you single-handedly defeated the Nazis and all countries are beholden to you forever about it, but Canadians were flying over Britain in their darkest hour and Americans weren’t. Whose side do you think Europe will take? This scenario is 99.9% an internet fantasy, but we’ll be ready for that 0.1% anyway only because we have to plan for all possible contingencies. But you’re going on like it’s a certainty and it’s very very far from that.
Perhaps you should do meaningful boycott and sell your US based financial assets as a country
You think a guy like Carney doesn’t have financial plans for the US? It’s not in our interest to be the cause of a US financial collapse it’s better for us if that happens on it’s own, so Americans blame Trump for it.
dk why you’re mad at me I’ve been boycotting these fuckers for over half a decade, welcome to the club, you could do so much more, and be less hateful to people who have no controls over the levers.
Because you’re exhibiting the American superiority that’s the root cause of all of this mess. You think everything in the world has to revolve around the US, and can’t accept the US not being the bestest most greatest nation in history. You are not the rulers of the world, if your country collapses we’ll have a tough go of it for a few years, but we’ll be fine. Probably won’t even be as bad as the pandemic, and we got through that.
BOTH SIDES!
So are you leftist or MAGA? Y’all say the exact same things these days.
So you prefer masked men abducting people off the street to how it was last year?
Progess takes a lot more time than regression. You think improving government should be like ordering something off of Amazon, just check a box and have it the next day. That’s not how things work, and if you were really dedicated to change you’d be willing to vote in every election (including the primaries) to get that change. The anti-abortion crowd are the minority but they got what they wanted by doing this for decades. You’re not getting what you want because you’re just not as dedicated as they are. Democracy requires work to get what you want, and if you’re not even bothering to vote you’re conceding governing to those that are way more dedicated to their causes than you are.
I think they may be under the impression that people actually read the articles instead of staring at just the photos and trying to find some pattern to them.
Easy to understand why an AI scanning discussions of these groups would guess they’re associated with each other. Both say pretty much the same things about Jews controlling the government, Jews controlling the media, etc.
Yup, every day I see leftist memes that hate on liberals so much they are indistinguishable from MAGA memes. The monetized “socialist” influencers have successfully neutralized leftism as an effective politcal force.
The key is “with human supervision”. Calling it Full Self Driving with “Supervised” in parentheses aftwards while putting out videos where they say the only reason there’s some behind the wheel is because of regulations (those annoying “regulations” amirite?) leads people to think they don’t really need to supervise the driving of the car.
Couple that with the fact that there are actual full self driving cars (Waymo) there’s even greater confusion.
People have been killed because of the misconceptions about Telsa cars actually being full self driving. Which they aren’t, they cheap out on the hardware needed for that to be possible, let alone the software.
Oh FFS you’re honestly claiming Kamala would’ve had masked goons roaming around cities and grabbing up anyone that looked “ethnic”?
Talk about brain dead.
“Don’t compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative.” - Joe Biden
Democracy is not a great system, it’s just better than the alternatives. In a democracy you aren’t going to have something perfect on the ballot that you can mark an X beside and all problems are solved forever. In a democracy it’s you’re duty as a citizen to keep informed and prevent the worst people from getting into power. Joe Biden wasn’t a saint, neither was Obama, or Clinton, or anyone else. What matters is using your vote to get the best possible outcome result possible from every given election. The best possible result may not be great, but you’re preventing something even worse. The constitution is just a piece of paper, it doesn’t protect your rights, your vote protects your rights. That healthcare you want, isn’t going to happen when you take a principled stand by not voting for anything less than perfection, in fact you’ll probably lose what little you have.
You’re looking at all the faults of Biden but he did a lot to promote labour unions, got the ball rolling on anti-trust on corporations, protected the meager healthcare you have, repaired relations with other countries, and was actually a good steward of the economy considering the circumstances (and despite the media narrative). Was he perfect? No. Would Kamal been perfect? Nope. But what small progress was made is lost now and you’re descending into becoming a fascist hellhole because you lacked the pragmatism to accept anyone that didn’t pass your bullshit purity test.
And you’re whinging about him pardoning his son? Have you been living under a rock? Trump is prosecuting anyone and everyone that ever said anything negative about him. People complain about old Joe being senile (and maybe he was) but even he had the wherewithal to now where things were going more than you do. Everyone knew Trump was going to turn the DOJ into his own personal attack squad except for you apparently.
And the corporate news will not publish pictures like that because it does the most harmful thing it could possibly do to this corrupt incompetent administration: it would damage their image, which is just about all they have.
Or maybe the respectable media just doesn’t do trashy tabloid level body shaming stories?
Nah it must be some insane conspiracy!
Surprised Smokey hasn’t already been shot by Kirsti Noem .
We just called it the WOOM.
I always thought of it as the “go super fast straight into a spike” power up since that’s how it usually worked out.
But wouldn’t moving the land from the high points increase the circumference of the solid part of the Earth and stretch the water around it a little bit, making the height of the water a little bit less?
