Right. And to be clear, you can have insincere boring male candidates just the same. Look at old Biden (VP Biden is somewhat different). Or look at Tim Kaine. No authenticity. No charisma. No backbone.

It may be the safest bet at dismantling this constant threat for good. Oftentimes the only way the bully learns is when they're pushed back twice as hard.

Wouldn't it be funny if all these various nations just did a reverse uno and like 20 different nations started invading Russia and slicing it up for territorial gain?

Russia is so weak right now.

I love a lot of different instruments, but I fell in love with the Erhu after ATLA. Second to that, the orchestral strings like the violin, viola, cello, etc. Scores from Halo and Elder Scrolls franchises.

Finally, the collective vocal cords of choirs.

I appreciate your honesty as a 5'7" dude.

Luckily I'm happily married while my wife is 5'6".

Lots of perks to my short dudes out there. Faster metabolism/more energy, longer life expectancy, better power-to-weight ratio, etc. I won't beat em in a sprint necessarily, but always have the advantage in the long-run.

Square-cubed law can be a bitch!

Ah yes, because in a binary choice outcome, you decide to take the greater poison not only in terms of genocide (which yes, a genocide can always get worse), but also worsening a genocide by Russia in Ukraine, women's bodily autonomy, climate change, Healthcare, and LGBTQ+ rights.

That sure makes sense... I think they call that throwing the baby out with the bathwater?

Honestly, is there any election you can think of where there was an alternative on the ballot who was better than the blue though? I genuinely can't think of a time.

To be honest I'm not even sure DNC has authority over Biden. If Biden says, '"fuck you I'm staying" the DNC has no authority to say otherwise. Within the context of Biden who if one knows his history of politics, being shunned again might force him to double-down more.

I despise the DNC ever since Hillary but I'm fairly sure many of them knew Biden would fuck us but had no power to say otherwise. Maybe I'm wrong?

As an American, I'm rooting for Canada.

But this all feels very by design of Putin to fracture US alliances.

I guess I'm curious about generations (namely GenZ and Alpha) who didn't live in a pre-Internet time. Like,

  • How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?
  • Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge — the only comparable thing once being a physical library or university — one search away? That it's absolutely insane you can engage in a real-time conversation with someone on the opposite side of the world? That you can find niche communities in an instant?
  • Were your parents super strict about internet usage? How quickly did you find workarounds?

I read somewhere else a woman who said, "Walz represents all the dads we used to have but lost to Fox News."

June 28 (Reuters) - A group of U.S. voters who were unable to choose between Joe Biden and Donald Trump before Thursday's presidential debate delivered their verdicts after the contest and it was almost universally bad news for Biden.

Of the 13 "undecideds" who spoke to Reuters, 10 described the 81-year-old Democratic president's performance against Republican candidate Trump collectively as feeble, befuddled, embarrassing and difficult to watch.

All undecided voters in a U.S. swing states focus group hosted by pollster Frank Luntz said President Biden should be replaced as the Democratic nominee after watching his first presidential debate against former President Trump.

FDR was much closer to being a Social Democrat than a Democratic Socialist. They sound similar but are quite different. Hell I think Bernie is closer to a Social Democrat, too. He praises the Nordic model and they're textbook social democracies.

Lord Cameron said while he would not support a major ground offensive in the Gazan city of Rafah, the UK would not copy US plans to stop some arms sales.

He said the UK supplies just 1% of Israel's weapons and warned Israel must do more to protect civilians and allow humanitarian aid through.

Friendly reminder that literally all legalization legislation and referendums have come through the Democratic party.

Biden already pledged support. He needs youth vote. There's literally no reason he wouldn't unless he was blocked by Republicans...

... Which he is.

They must oblige within a certain time frame — even if your account has been suspended and I believe even if you've deleted your account. Curiously, this might be one effective way to protest. Golly I wonder what would happen if many people requested such reports simultaneously. It seems these must be processed manually by admins.

As a bonus, it's nice because all your comments and messages are searchable.
