Question: How pissed off are the people who paid their giant tariffs yesterday?

I think he was also saying, in jest, that it’s good to be polite to the AI just in case.

“Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know,”

I use uppercase “Conservative” to indicate Ia.talking about the modern brand name vs. the lowercase “conservative” to talk about the actual political term.

And while Schumer did not ultimately vote yes on the bill itself, his advocacy and yes vote on the cloture motion likely secured Friday night’s outcome.

Well, being in charge doesn’t mean you are aligned with the majority.

Follow me here. Society has become very accepting, and progressives have been very successful in the long run (as is the norm). That makes being a conservative “counter-culture.”

This was about cloture vote, I doubt they will vote yes to the bill.

Given everything you have seen since Trump took office, do you think they don’t want a government shutdown? RN so much of what the administration is doing is illegal, Democrats have no legislative power to curb that, but they can keep receipts and deal with it in two years. If the government shuts down, the administration will have the actual authority to decide what is “critical” and will furlough the rest until they all are forced to quit and find other work. A government shutdown effectively does the job they want done, and they get to blame the Democrats for it at their leisure.

This is why I argue that the height of the rim should be based on the average height of the competing teams.

Interesting. I had always understood McCarthyism as only the red scare, and I assumed it was how it was always used.

Is the DEI in the room with them now?

Wait, is this not common knowledge?

I would argue it is not McCarthyism. McCarthyism would he specifically using people’s political ideologies as a metric, whereas sexuality is a personal private thing that would have absolutely no effect on the ability to do a job. At least McCarthyism has some way to claim that “commie” is actively working against the interests of the US.

My point is that what you posted as evidence bigotry is not really very strong. Certainly, if that joke was posted by a bigot it would be punching down. But otherwise it is just a normal situational joke.

I imagine this as a bell curve meme, where nothing ends are, “psychologists don’t know anything,” but not sure what the middle is.

IMO, K-pop more often uses English in a nonsensical way, or a more glaring way.

It feels like a jeopardy category, “Things that are fine to say unless a bigot says it.”

I guess I don’t get the context. What i see is OP pouring a screenshot of a tweet exchange to ImGoingToHellForThis. The idea of the community being that the material is inappropriate but still has an element of humor.

So, op posted a joke that someone else made they knew was in bad taste, but got a chuckle from? That sets a pretty low bar for calling someone a bigot.

I think that is the point. They just went and conquered places with better food and made them part of their empire, so the food then became theirs too.
