I don’t think it’s helpful to think in terms of left and right. That presumes that each side is roughly a mirror analogue of the other.
Think in terms of forward and backward. Will your ideas and political leanings push society forward? Will you be making the world better than you found it? Or are you trying to resist change, fighting against progress because the status quo, or the recent past, benefits you in some way?
This is the guy in charge of medical advice for the United States. Lacking even basic scientific knowledge.
Yeah, this is a weird way to frame this story. Did he also “lose” at Jeopardy and the NLDS? Just because he said he wanted to win doesn’t mean he was either nominated or considered.
My friend, it really is not.
1200 people disappeared at that camp, without charges or due process, they were absucted off the street and sent to a swamp to die.
Germans didn’t want to believe that the Jews were being slaughtered at concentration camps, either, but willful ignorance is not a morally defensible choice.
Because absorbed light is excess energy.
Just in case it wasn’t clear, that’s a horrifying discovery. Like the extinction of all life on earth.
Polling matters not to a narcissist.
I still double space after a period, because fuck you, it is easier to read. But as a bonus, it helped me prove that something I wrote wasn’t AI. You literally cannot get an AI to add double spaces after a period. It will say “Yeah, OK, I can do that” and then spit out a paragraph without it. Give it a try, it’s pretty funny.
Who is “y’all” and what is “this”?
For me, I want the war to end with Russia leaving Ukraine the hell alone. I’m not an expert on geopilicital military strategy, but it seems like the people fighting for Ukraine want any intel that helps them repel the invasion force. Striking within Russia’s borders might force Putin to withdraw and defend his own country rather than murdering civilians in another country.
It might not work. It might ratchet up the violence, and it might result in the suffering and death of innocent people. I don’t want that, but I’m not in a position to say that “this” makes that outcome more or less likely.
What is it that you want instead?
I mean, he is an expert on crime.
Like, Imagine you had a van. The van has passengers, and you’re one of them, but you’re way in the back. The driver can’t hear you and doesn’t care what you want or where you want to go. Then a new driver comes in and takes the van offroad. They drive in the wrong direction, and they keep hitting potholes and pedestrians and shit. Some of the people in the back are hootin and hollerin like it’s some awesome roller coaster, and also they hate the pedestrians and like when they are killed. And you’re like, please, just stop.
And then the driver threatens to turn the car off.
I mean, yeah, you need the aircon, and it would be nice to be going somewhere, but the driver is definitely not going in the right direction, and the longer he drives, the more damage he does to the van.
Right now the government is worse than shut down. It’s actively doing bad things. I’d rather the government start doing good things, but that’s not currently an option available to me.
Hydrophobia is another term for an active Rabies infection. Rabies is assumed to be the source of many mythological creatures, including werewolves and vampires. So if you offer someone water, and they refuse, best to poke them with something silver and sharp just to see how they react.
It’s entirely possible he never went to the island. That doesn’t make Elon Musk a good person, and he hasn’t exactly earned the benefit of doubt.
Just a reminder that this fucker sexually harassed Anita Hill for years.
When wireless charging was announced, every layperson out there started imagining their homes filled with powerful waves of harmless energy that would keep their devices charged and eliminate the need for all wires. People thought we could have LED bulbs that pull volts out of the air and provide light for your dining room.
Wireless charging is slightly more convenient than plugging your phone in to a usb c. But it’s also slower. I have a wireless charger next to a wired charger, and 90% of the time I plug in because it’s faster, and I can still use my phone while it charges.
“I didn’t visit his island” has the same vibes as “I didn’t inhale” as far as denials go.
Of course they are legitimate concerns. Epstein was a warning, they can get anyone anywhere. They got Kirk, and they can get anyone.
I fully believe that this is an attempt to proactively delegitimize any attempts to prosecute former Trump officials for their actual crimes. You can just hear the dipshit chorus of “You protested when we prosecuted Comey and James, and now you’re trying to do the exact same thing to us!”
