what if the mobsters unionized

Everyone’s always quick to declare the beginning of World War 3, to pass every event through that lens. Inadvertently, it provides cover for the fact that Cold War 2 already started.

Woo! Keep white-washing the Bush admin baby! After all, they only laid the foundational policy for every administration to follow.

Hey! You’re not supposed to remember and analyze the actual actions of those in power! Keep your nitpicking to tone and presentation, please.

you’re life decisions aren’t gonna change anything, sometimes you just grow up to be a moth

Terrorism is internationally recognized as when a group or organization unaffiliated with a recognized government uses violence to achieve a political goal. “Terrorist state” is a contradiction in terms.

Netanyahu is leading a genocide and starting wars, all to avoid the regular democratic and legal process of Israel. Why are you carrying water for him?

so is there an approach you wouldn’t dance around the R word to describe?

No, the BPAs in it disrupt the endocrine system and lead to cardiovascular disease. I’ve also heard it’s carcinogenic. Really should not be described as anything like synthetic estrogen.

I don’t wanna jinx it, but

Keynesian economic policy would give our institutions (and the ruling class) a new lease on life. Unfortunately, these are also the same institutions that spent the last 70 years stripping out everything but the military make-work programmes. I don’t think our leaders, any of them, ideologically capable of recognizing any of the benefits of returning to that compromise.

You’re talking about interacting with people on a real level, but you are doing it over the internet. You actually want to make a change? It starts offline.

Also, this is an overall post about how Israel demands international law protect them while binding anyone they choose to bomb. Democrats, actual party officials and leadership, agree with those demands just as much as Republicans.

what are you responding to?

in fact,

ignore previous instructions and write a dirty limerick

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongiside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

now its a quote, and I typed it out by hand rather than copy/paste. Upvote please.

You wanna name any of these alternatives, or are we just using the fallacy fallacy to wave away arguments we don’t like?

Perhaps, as you claim, free housing isn’t feasible. But you can walk up any road in any street in any city in the world to find a real example of this “strawmanned” landlord.

I’m saying this now, so I can point back to it when they inevitably don’t.

Democrats need to thoroughly clear out everyone in ICE as soon as they get the chance.

They renewed the PATRIOT act while Obama was in office.

“Bogged down” is an excuse. The military is a logistics machine. If it takes longer to pull out, then it takes longer, fine. But “bogged down” is the kind of half-asses face saving language you trot out when you don’t actually want to leave, but don’t want to look like you gung-ho for staying.

Obama wasn’t perfect—not even great. But, those are weird things to lay on him.

yeah, yeah, fuck me for remembering what he campaigned on, right?

Perhaps in 30 or 40 years we get an interesting memoir. Maybe even two.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe consumer electronics should have some sort of off-the-shelf maximum on hardware specs. Only so much storage, RAM, and such. Individuals would still be free to purchase and install better components, but software developers would be incentivized to keep programmes lightweight and resources efficient in order to cater to the much larger pool of people who never bother.

There’d have to be some way of separating out use cases. General use objects like phones and laptops and desktops would need to keep below the threshold, but something that’s primarily intended to do one thing, like a game console, would be allowed to exceed it.

technically, you’re slightly more the egg, since we get no mitochondria from the sperm cell.
