  • "If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism; they will abandon democracy."

  • Also, "That's just locker room talk."

    These statements are often made in the same breath.

  • Because war is easy to sell to your mouth breathing electorate.

    There's a big bad guy causing all your problems! Let me be strong and kill him. And while I do, I'll make sure immigrants don't take your jobs.

  • The last time this was discussed, my understanding is that Article 5 of NATO would activate, with the US being the aggressor.

    Whether the rest of NATO would actually attack US forces would be the question.

  • Unless your writing is going to be greatly different from FMHY, I'd partner with them on the hosting so you only have to focus on the writing.

  • I think people like rationalizing their behaviors so that they don't seem weird. When really they are just being themselves.

    Behaviors become mental illnesses when they start to affect other parts of your life. Organizing your books by color is unusual and quirky, but not a mental illness.

    If you can't leave a library because you have to organize their books by color, then it's a mental illness.

  • I'd love to see the EU to start calling out fascist organizations and labeling them as terrorists.

  • Democracy is very fickle, especially since all it takes for democracy to fail is a minority of people to allow fascism to take hold.

    Trump's lack of ability to control the US doesn't mean he can't bring instability to the EU. Quite the opposite. If he can bring doubt into the coalition, then it will become easier for him to get what he wants, which is a smaller voting bloc.

  • Because she believes she's the exception. All conservatives believe they are the exception.

  • knows his name will be known for so very many bad things

    He absolutely does not.

    He literally thinks he's perfect and that his shit doesn't stink. He is a narcissist.

    That's why he wants his name on a fucking battleship because it's "strong" like him.

  • This is why I hate people who say they hate being on a jury.

    You have the most direct access to affect your society in a jury box than you do at the ballot box.

  • Stupid question from someone who doesn't know fuck all about this guy: why did he even enter the ring? Like why did the guy, who clearly is outmatched, even consider being matched with the other boxer?

  • Racist people often support other racists.

  • Iirc correctly, Amazon actually doesn't resell their returns. At least not through their storefront.

    They have "return auctions" where returns are put onto a pallet and then people bid on them to purchase. Apparently this is cheaper than having a workflow for their returns, checking them to make sure they are resellable, and then stocking them back into their warehouse.

  • They just need to say they are using the archive for AI training data. Then it's legal.

  • Conspiracy theorists obtain validation through sharing their very unhinged theories and getting people to follow them.
