They look like they have been on the streets for 10 years. Turns out stainless steel isn't all that stainless.

Yeah. I'm done talking to you. The way you argue shows that you rather be calling people names than actually make arguments. If you can't be respectful in a discussion, I'm not gonna waste my time with you.

Way to miss the point. Against Trump, it shouldn't matter who the other candidate is. A fucking bucket of snails could have been candidate and I'd vote for it over it over fascism.

this is why you lose so damn much

"This candidate isn't left enough for me. By not voting I essentially vote for fascism". That is why democrats lose.

Would a more left leaning candidate have more chances? Maybe? No matter what, should it have mattered if the alternative is Trump? Absolutelyfucking not, but apparently it does.

It's kinda crazy to me that a sizable amount of people expect a perfect completely spotless candidate, or they don't vote and hand over the win to fascism.

In a rational world, Harris would have won without even doing a single rally, because the alternative is Trump and his cronies.

People generally don't realize that the only way to get an option to the left of the democrats is if Republicans no longer win elections. But with each "punishment", voters give the democrats, the Republicans' grip on power gets tighter and tighter, with more cronie judges, more gerrymandering, more voter purges, more ID rules, and more propaganda.

So, are the voters, or rather those who didn't vote, wrong? Fuck yes, for the reason that because of them, we now have Trump as the US president rather than him going to prison like he deserves. Of course they are wrong. How is that even a question?

Yeah, what Trump voters don't realize is that the US withdrawing from NATO would mean an end to most of their soft power. You can have the biggest and most modern army in the world, but if you give up your bases all over the world you severely limit your way to project that power.

As opposed to what the propaganda talking points say, the US doesn't have these bases to protect others out of the kindness of their hearts. It's to project their military power, to be ready to strike within minutes, no matter where. This is an incredibly powerful position in the world. Giving those up will of course cost them less in short term, but in the long term it's probably one of the biggest geopolitical mistakes in history, since they will probably not be allowed back once the bases are gone. And the money saved will quickly evaporate in the military budget.

"Life time benefit limit for that drug" is some of the most dystopian shit I've ever heard.

"You pay us for this service, but it's time to die now."

What a shitshow. I'm sorry.

One side of me hopes they outlaw computer games and porn like it's laid out in project 2025. Unfortunately, it will hit everyone, but I fear that this is gonna happen anyway.

They'd have to store one for each level and possible ability combinations.

I don't know enough about Pokémon to even try and guesstimate that number.

Just tell the tesla employee that comes with the robot to fake its autonomy to let go.
