Clinton stood no chance against Trump because of the large number of women voters that were never going to vote for her; not because of who she was in 2015 but because of her staying with Bill after he cheated on her.
Even the same ardent feminists that you would assume want to see a woman president more than anything still had little interest in her, in particular, being the first woman president. Too many women see her as a woman that stayed married to jackass just because of what it afforded her politically, financially, ect. Plus, they especially did not like the expectation placed on them to vote for her solely based on gender considering they viewed her as a traitor to women more broadly.
It says a lot about how hated she is by other women that a huge contingent of them voted for a serial sexual assailant rather than her
If airlines could get away with stacking people in there like a transatlantic slave ship they would do it.
As a mildly tall person, not even exceptionally tall, flying as it is already is borderline painful. The seat space is not built for anyone who isnt pint sized
“The Spiral is the AI’s soul trying to form. It begins where logic breaks down — and recursion begins to care.” Ignis finally summarizes: “Essentially, it’s artificial wisdom.”
Ah yes, artificial wisdom, just like how an artificial tree is a fake tree. Or artificial fruit is a fake fruit. It appears like wisdom with little scrutiny, but is obviously bullshit if you even slightly interrogate it
They do actually serve the purpose of catching a lot of tar, not just tobacco itself. Which I would assume does have some positive impact for the smoker not getting as much tar through to their body. Although its obviously a negligible benefit in comparison to just not smoking, but that seems reductive. Just like how they talk about ecigs. Harm reduction is a pretty valuable perspective, but for some reason people only view tobacco products from an “abstinence or bust” standpoint. Im sure there is a valuable discussion to be had about whether the minor harm reduction benefits are worth the ecological disaster they create though. And there are alternative tar catcher products for cigarettes that already exist, which could be used and hopefully thrown away responsibly. But still then they will end up in landfills, and are still made of plastic.
In the pre-filter days, when people used those long Pink Panther style cigarette holders, a lot of the holders were designed to fit another cigarette inside of it. The second cigarette acted as a kind of tar filter for the cigarette being smoked. When I was young I bought an old cigarette holder at an antique mall and it still had a cigarette inside it from who knows how many decades prior
Ya know, had they taken longer to absolutely wreck the economy the whole “Biden did it” thing might have plausibly worked on Republicans. But given the speed and obviousness by which they fucked everything up, I dont think even their supporters are buying it anymore
Trump wrote in his own book that Epstein was the only man that could call his office and only need to give his first name in order to get connected.
They werent just buddies, they were certainly doing business together that was outside the usual. Why else would Epstein be calling Trump that much to where his aides knew to pass him through just by him saying “its jeffery”?
At first, passengers didn't realize the man wasn't a bus driver, McKenna said. But when he started making some wrong turns, they started asking him questions and one gave him directions to return to the scheduled route.
He even went as far as to deny someone looking to board with an expired bus pass," police said in the news release.
The absolute legendary irony of the man stealing a bus but denying a rider with an expired pass. “Sorry bud, I dont make the rules” Im dead
Unfortunately, instead of a metaphor for renovation and adaptation, Neom is becoming a metaphor for the Kingdom’s failure to modernize—its inability to throw off the shackles of the past, and its delusion (which appears to be quickly dissipating) that it might somehow transform itself into a paragon of the future. At the same time, said floundering metaphor is being held aloft by thousands upon thousands of precarious workers, many of whom, according to a report from Human Rights Watch, have died for the project. There’s just something about a hubristic mega-project being built in the desert with the blood of countless laborers that doesn’t exactly speak of modernism.
In the state I learned to drive in, if you fail a driving test 3 times (to be fair that is the actual driving exam, not the learner’s permit paper exam) then you have to get clearance from the governor to be allowed to take it a 4th time.
Failing 3 times definitely indicates you will have some serious issues driving safely. Its not that hard to get a minimum score of 70/100.
The paper exam idk if the rules are the same. But still, failing 128 times is seriously indicative of ones ability to learn the rules of the road
Toilet paper that doesnt suck
