  • What's a few hundred million USD crashing into the earth due to incompetence and selfish short-sightedness? Not like there's anything to use the money on at home

  • Epstein class cares a lot more about profit than it does about soldiers

  • Diablo II also!

  • They don't think they need to answer to anyone. No cabinet members or generals doing the Sunday shows, just a couple of Trump's social media posts. We're pulled into war and the attitude from the executive is "what're you going to do about it?"

    And from the opposition party leadership? "Tsk tsk, but ask us nicely next time"

  • The language of all these stories bothers me. Executive orders don't "grant" any power at all. They Claim power but are not a law. States run elections. States with fascist governments can point to an EO and play pretend that it has some force and weight and then choose to do what Trump wants.

    Media is framing this like if Trump signs this BS EO, that it will give him control over anything - and it feels like their framing is designed to soften the ground, trying to get people to go along with it

  • My understanding is that it's common for Israel to tamp down on damage reports - both to limit OSINT for adversaries and to hide the retaliation cost from citizens

  • Seriously. I already don't have streaming anything (except dropout), barely ever eat out, brew my own coffee, wear decade-old clothes, don't drink or smoke, get movies at the library, etc... It's like I'm involuntarily boycotting the elective economy

  • I think Trump wants a win and regime change but highly doubt he has the stomach for a real war with a real country. This really feels like Bibi pulling the strings

  • Now, now, I've been assured that CO2 is not a pollutant

  • This is the right answer. USA is first-past-the-post voting, so vote/campaign for who you love in the primary and vote for outcome in the general

  • Didn't Betoblose by only like 2% or so? That's very close. If California had a republican within 5%, the GOP'd sell their moms to buy ads.

    Texas is a suppressed, nonvoting, fairly purple state. There's always a chance and this year is probably as good as it could be since reformation.

  • They both have an honest shot of winning the general - I hope whoever loses the primary doesn't poison the other

  • I like him better, he seems less performative and like a good man with the courage of his convictions. In TX, he'll probably have broader support while crockett might have more enthusiastic support. Both would be miles better than Paxton/Cornyn

    Oh, I also don't like Crockett 's AIPAC support or that she jumped into the race after talarico

  • I've liked what I've seen of Kat online but she's faced accusations of carpetbagging by locals. Biss sounds decent, so I won't be too sad if he beats Kat even if I'd prefer another brash progressive voice in congress

  • Presidential primary? He's already governor but term limited. Fortunately, the more people see him and not his social media team, the greasier he's revealed to be

  • Any men seeking to learn Japanese from their local girlfriend, be warned: you will sound a bit gay to everyone for awhile. Fortunately, this is common enough that most Japanese won't razz you for it

  • There's already speculation that handlers at the DNC knew at the time and knowingly chose to risk losing rather than risk offending AIPAC

  • This is kind of a dumb calculation. Maybe we're weird, but 28k in childcare can be handled by letting it be more than 7% of our total expenditures.

    I mean, we'd still love more help! Childcare is acutely expensive because it a) only affects a subset of the population for b) a small amount of their lives and c) requires high staffing ratios (~5 kids per career (who make far too little money for what they are entrusted with)) Want more kids as a society? Universal childcare to spread that expense around. Safe and walkable third places would be great too

  • Eh, ~zero impedance house circuits won't do anything bad to normal electronics - it'll just make sure no fires happen in your walls. I do almost all home wiring in 12 gauge and larger for this reason

    Actually, the comic only has 500A breakers and don't say anything about wires. Recipe for fire!

    Poll results depend on pollster choices as much as voters’ decisions
