Why are you reading this? Go do something worthwhile.
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 love that the only thing standing between him and sexually asualting people is social media. If it wasn’t for Tom and MySpace taking social media to the masses, this guy would be a pervert. GeoCities was a thing, so he’s not a weird, masculinity obsessed rapist. We’re so lucky.
Every 4 years, hundreds of millions of people set their conscience to the side and continue to vote for the thing they’ll complain about until the next time, when they do it all again.
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.
I think they think Donald Trump is the standard. It’s important to remember that he isn’t. That’s an easy comparison, and some roadkill wins that contest. Being better than the worst isn’t enough of a selling point. 2016 proved that. Be better.
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.
But, if the goal isn’t necessarily to win the election, only to absolve yourself of blame if you lose the election, then blaming 3rd party voters is the stance for you.
Could it be a poor political platform, or just not even campaigning in the state? Maybe it’s just not being appealing enough to the 40% of the electorate that doesn’t vote. Couldn’t be.
I feel like all the hate for 3rd parties is the same as the hate for immigrants. It’s all redirection and obfuscation.
He needed 2 or 3 years to explore student loans. Maybe this is more complicated, so it will take infinitely longer.
As a pretty left person who lives in Tennessee, please get rid of it. Anytime I have this conversation with folks on the right, I always point out that there are more Republican voters in California than Texas. That usually gets them to concede.
Perhaps the strongest argument that it is God punishing sinful states. The old switcheroo right there.
Can’t be a coincidence that these oil rigs are in the Gulf of MEXICO, creating storms to illegally cross our borders.
Or…
Dems are trying to assassinate TRUMP again with this sad, pitiful storm. Never seen one more pitiful. Mar a Lago is great. Really great. Trump will ride out this hurricane. Never fear.
People talk about it all the time. Ron Paul was a household name. People we’re talking about RFK JR a year ago. People were talking about 3rd parties due to Biden’s stance on Palestine. People were talking about it after that first debate. All that’s fine, but it only makes the two main parties sweat within 30 days of election. That’s when all the “throwing your vote away” rhetoric ramps up.
Rather than doing better, working harder, or standing on better policy to turn out the 35% of people who don’t vote, it’s easier to vilify 1% of the people who do. That’s a problem.
Most standups are bad because they’re not used as a quick collaboration tool, they’re used as a demonstration to prove you’re working, and then the least productive people talk the most because they’re the most desperate to prove they’re working.
Yeah, but what if someone also set a precedent that if you’re the victim of an admittedly awful terror attack, you can spend the next 20 years killing anyone you want.
I would disagree. I used to live in Rosman, NC, about an hour south of Asheville.
This is absolutely a precedented tragedy. It is run of the mill. That’s because of climate change. Because of climate change, these 100 year floods are occurring once a decade. Yes, this is the biggest in those hundred years, but there are communities who are enormously affected by this regularly.
Calling it unprecedented plays into climate deniers hands. It wasn’t normal. But it is becoming normal. It is precedented. We caused it. If it’s unprecedented, people will ignore it as an oddity, an outlier. But people living there should expect this.
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?
