What a dirtbag.

I play SSX 3 Gamecube like it’s my 2nd job.

Ah.

you’re on the internet too much

Oh, when was that, when two people were honestly debating their views and policies? Was it Nixon? Reagan? Bush? other Bush? Which Republican was it?

what bullshit

You can be critical of a politician and still support that politician. Why that’s suddenly a super difficult thing to understand is beyond me.

…so then you totally did understand, you just wanted someone to waste their time explaining it so you could immediately come back with jill stein nonsense. that was a dick thing to do.

KillerTofu got it right, I just wanted to post and agree rather than just upvote. Yeasts changed the flavor of my homebrewing pretty significantly as well.

Is this bait? It sure feels like bait.

Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know it existed.

It wasn’t for you. Your posts are banal and amateurish. It was for other people.

Back in the before times, bills would come to a vote and bills that had virtually total support would go thru with unanimous consent. Now, bills are blocked from being voted on so that Senators aren’t on the record being shitbags. As you quoted Vance saying, ““it’s idiotic for us to take the bait” in regards to Democrats using the bill to force Republicans to publicly declare whether or not they support IVF.”

Think about that statement from a Senator, then marvel at how fundamentally different he sees the job of a Senator from say, you or me or regular humans.

Duckworth is putting a face to whoever opposes a wildly popular issue, IVF treatment. It causes people to think about the issue, because legislators are in fact advocators (you know, in complete contrast to Vance trying to hide what he advocates for). There’s nothing performative about it.

in my opinion, it is the standard democrat cynicism. it is simply something that in the future can be used as a bullet point for her future candidacy. without context, one could write ‘honestly’ she “fought” for IVF.

For Duckworth and for many people, IVF is a opportunity that is basically magic. It changes their lives and it gives them the opportunity to have children. There are few things more powerful than that, and it’s tone deaf to an extreme degree to think that something is performative just because it isn’t targeted at you.

I mean, usually I’d say you’re being a petulant childish asshole, but I’m trying to be better too.

It’s ok if everything isn’t important to you, champ. It can be important to others and we can support that. There will be Republican supporters of IVF that wanna know too.

Engineering is the usual path into SCADA, but most firms require specialists and networking is certainly a needed specialty.

sir this is a joke about qanon thread

If we’re casting around looking for good advice from relevant people, James Carville would be way down that list.

Be boring somewhere else.

These people sound like exact copies of the people saying voting in 2000 didn’t matter, and that turned out to be the most politically consequential of my lifetime. Gore was imperfect as they all are, but holy fuck did Dubya fuck up literally everything he touched.

Among many, many, many things, Dubya started forever wars killing untold hundreds of thousands of people. He accelerated oil and gas production, absolutely setting the Climate Change world on a pace for disaster. He seated Alito, unquestionably the biggest monster currently on the Supreme Court. And he passed a monster tax cut for the rich that set us on this path of unrestrained deficit spending.

And that’s just the headlines. Remember when he tried to put his personal lawyer on the Supreme Court? lol

Gen X already tried this 25 years ago and it fucked the world up so badly that we need to be saved by the future generations. Imagine not learning that lesson and doing it again.

I screencapped this because I can’t trust the internet to have it when I want to come back and laugh at it again.

Can’t help but feel like this is the market that exists for anything Pokémon adjacent because Pokémon has sucked ass for like a decade.

Who is attacking Haley? Can see a case for everyone.
