IDK their religion allows straight up substitution magic, they turn wine and crackers into pieces of their dead god. Why can't thorns and pieces of wood turn into the implements that killed him?
Yes they're used, but they're not THE ONLY method of control as it was in this disaster of a sub.
It is a clear signal, it says very clearly and in no uncertain terms they don't want to talk to you.
Your need for "closure" or whatever doesn't matter.
If you think that trump is capable of that then you admit the American system is so flawed that a diaper wearing dementia ridden criminal is all it will take to bring it down. That Pax Americana is on the death bed and electing Biden is just kicking the can down the road.
Without the looming existential threat of the climate apocalypse and the inevitability of children born today fighting in the water wars, Biden might be fine, but we need action now and anything else isn't just lesser of two evils, it's complete failure in our lifetimes...
”Both options are cliffs!”
But they are though.
The cliff drivers aren't getting off the bus, even if we vote them down this time, if we don't change the system that allows them equal opportunity to drive us off a cliff they will eventually force it off the cliff.
Biden has long supported the system that allows it, prides himself on being able to find a middle ground with them, and though he talks about not going over the cliff has no long term plan for dealing with those that do, because again he believes in the system that allows them to want to drive off the cliff.
I believe I've stretched this metaphor about as far as it will go, but I'm going to try stretching it further.
There are actually two cliffs, fascism and climate change, even if we pull the bus away from one cliff we've still got the other in front of us and basically no one is even pretending to deal with that.
And to leave the broken bus scenario, I'm just going to say if you believe that a trump win will destroy American democracy, that we can't defeat his corrupt, senile version of fascism then the next republican demagogue will have no problems.
Everything by Becky Chambers is pretty uplifting. She's probably my favorite author right now.
Busy maybe, but will the be entertained.
I read Moby Dick once and it was not enjoyable in the least. It is boring as fuck. Maybe it's imitating through prose the long monotonous stretches between whale sightings, but that's not an engaging read.
It gets protection from large things while getting all the free tiny bugs it can eat, it's a great deal.
yeah, rats.
we've generally solved the rat problem, but that was the initial pitch, then their cute faces hypnotized us.
Yeah it's not good.
and it should be noted actual numbers are hard to find, which is sketch.
compared to youtube's ~55%
That's what they're saying, it is has high image quality, unlike a show from the before times.
If it was from pre ~85 it would have way more grain
I’ve been searching for a dumb TV now for a bit, can’t find them anymore
Every TV can be a dumb TV if you don't give it your wifi password...
more competition making headsets
quite the opposite has happened, there are fewer companies making headsets now. Microsoft is removing their version of open platform, mixed reality from windows entirely...
This, so much, this, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
The Democrats are ideologically incapable of dealing with fascism, they will not address the root causes, America will have an authoritarian in office within 8 years.
Quite frankly if America can't withstand trump's decrepit, corrupt, senile version of fascism then we're just going to fall to what ever ghoul the Republicans summon next.
If trump wins and America can't defeat his senile version of fascism, then it's already on the death bed waiting for the next republican to take power...
trump is the best authoritarian we're going to get, he's easy mode, the republicans will get someone worse, someone who has the ability to think beyond his next shit.
It's not going to get better only worse...
