Romulans are already pretty sexy

The full plans didn’t pass the Democrat majority controlled House or Senate.

Max Baucus would be better attributed as the author of a "Obama"care, as it was his version of the bill that made it to a floor vote.

The conservative media reaction to J6 was to proclaim everyone involved as Antifa. It’s just reflexive for the party organs at this point.

If you’re opposed, you’re a terrorist.

If you’re not enthusiastic, you’re a terrorist.

If you’re embarrassing, you’re a terrorist

I don’t want violence but to act like it doesn’t have a place in our world?

It’s entirely insincere to pretend more arms to Ukraine will result in less bloodshed. At best, you can argue “at least the right people will die” assuming you squint and tacitly ignore all the conscripts and mercenaries and civilians involved in this conflict.

But it’s insane to pretend we’re heading towards an end to violence doing exactly what NATO has been doing for the last three years.

Jokes on this guy. Twitter bots can’t read EULAs

Ukraine aren’t the ones that started the war

That hasn’t spared them from dying in it.

It’s safer because the incidence of crime is very low and the incidence of car fatalities is comparably high.

But these modes of transit also put you in close proximity to strangers. And we’ve deluged our already-somewhat-xenophobic brains with news gore that amounts to “Stranger Danger!!!” squarely fixated on mass transit. Also doesn’t help that most modern mass transit lines have a disproportionate number of Evil Poors.

So anxiety is higher for infrequent users of mass transit. And that’s a much bigger influence on people than the real (and overall very rare) risk of car injury or crime.

“We need money to buy the weapons”

“Whatcha gonna do with the weapons?”

“Make a lot more blood splatters”

you don’t even own data that’s on this small all-in-one device

If I don’t own it, why does everyone keep insisting I stole it?

Against a former Dem governor who was backed by a Republican president no less

Sure. But that’s a decades-old problem with much deeper roots than the current president.

There’s a bigger gulf between Trump and Romney than Romney and Obama. Ds and Rs have largely been in alignment on housing and health care

they popularized gambling mechanics

Probably their biggest sin. Gab’s mega-yacht was paid for with neurodivergent teenagers sucked into anime-themed slot machines.

That’s before you get into how modern online gaming has become this nightmare of bigotry and misogyny. Not a Valve specific problem, but one they’ve turned a blind eye to in the name of laissez-faire business.

need i remind you, in the late 2000s/early 2010s, nintendo was the good guy.

Well… tap the brakes there. Nintendo had a very different business model, but their Disney-eque sadistic defense of IP was its own kind of problem.

You either die in the primary or live long enough to become Hilary Clinton

Some food more than others, certainly. Beef has been skyrocketing, thanks to the combination drought, disease, and heat wave.

I haven’t seen much change on staples like rice and beans, though. We figured out how to produce eggs at scale again. No idea how this plays into inflation statistics, though.

US prices rose 2.7% in the year to November, according to federal data

That seems fairly mild as inflation statistics go. Like, nevermind Trump being full of shit, I was under the impression cost of living was rising much faster.

Given how the BLS operates, I’m forced to ask whether these figures are even accurate.

It’ll cleanse the poor and the vulnerable and the immuno-compromised.

But the headlines will read “Stupid”

Back when COVID was rampaging through the US, you could consistently find high concentrations of infected people in and around prisons. Dense living conditions, poor hygenie and nutrition, and a stubborn refusal to provide routine medical care to either the prisoners or the staff turned these placed into petri dishes for the disease.

Day cares, schools, churches, and military bases function the same way, for similar reasons. Lots of immuno-compromised people in close proximity either unwilling or unable to self-segregate when they show symptoms. Few staffers who know enough to spot illness, or education/resources to provide relief, mean sick people infect everyone around them day after day.

And now we’ve got a CDC run by the class clowns and bible thumpers. Gotta wonder how bad it is going to get, especially after we pegged ourselves to the top of the leader board in the last major pandemic.

Shit like this makes me miss the USSR.

Truthiness!

It feels right, because I find young wealthy parents to be annoying.

merely identifying a fallacy is an instance of argument from fallacy

When the comment begins and ends with “That’s an <X> fallacy” and ending any further introspection?

“My mom said the sky is blue”

“That’s an Argument from Authority! Fallacy!”

When “fallacy!” becomes a thought-terminating response, it’s just debatebro shit.
