Finally, something voters care about.

Scott Adams (crazy I know) had a good point about calling Trump a mass hypnotist. He seems to have a way of speaking that lets people hear whatever they want to, it's mystifying.

The difference is Ukraine is defending against an unjust invasion, the Russians are being dragged kicking and screaming to attack another country for no reason by their dictator.

When I play Factorio with my friends, I don't have to sit through 1 hour planning meetings where half the people don't know what game we're playing and the other half want to make all decisions by committee in a future, unscheduled meeting.

Cost is the point

Most people don't want to live like that. They want AC, central plumbing, trendy food, and cheap clothing.

You can buy that watch

Teachers are forced to spend more and more time dealing with students who don't give a shit, and whose parents don't either. Source my wife is a high school math teacher

I just came across Hardwired from 1986, it's a cyberpunk dystopian future with lots of action. I loved it, some of it is very prescient, but with lots of 80s influence to an imagined future.

Starlink is apparently 65% of all active satellites, it would be very expensive to emulate that without super efficient launching capabilities.

Yea I use facebook marketplace to sell stuf

This isn't targeting immigrants or Democrats though, unless they try to only draft Democrats it's going to be them, their sons, their brothers and husbands getting told they have to go die.

You must not see Facebook ads. Every other one is for an "AI Girlfriend" no matter how many I hide.

Yes bombing schools, cities, and countries into broken states ruled by warring factions is the only way to achieve peace.

I'm not surprised they would consider it, but it seems hilariously stupid. Even as cynical as I am about politics in this country this will never fly with most of Trump's supporters.

Trump has mastered the bully pulpit and his steadfast popularity with his base to threaten any Republican who gets out of line by endorsing a primary challenger. This has been effective in replacing anyone who challenges him, and scaring the rest into line.

It's an unconstitutional bill, but if all three branches of government hold it up it's going to be chaos (intentionally) come election time.

The federal government is trying to severely limit absentee voting as well.

pihole is one way, though it's tricky to do it right

Having unlimited funds to make sure everyone sees your opinion.
