  • Surprised this system wasn't already in place, honestly.

  • I don't think we're going to get someone to the left of Kamala for the next few presidents. All the protest voters helped our country choose hard mode, and a lot of them are trying to rationalize it in any way that doesn't make them feel like they played a part in such a close election.

    We have Trump because more people voted for Trump, and lots of people didn't vote at all. You could blame Biden or Kamala, sure, but the entire political party could also be blamed, along with the establishment itself. Was Kamala the best candidate to run? Probably not. Biden decided to try for another term, though, and we ended up where we are.

    When you can choose between the lesser of 2 evils, or not choose at all: be aware of what "not choosing" will actually do.

    1. We don't need lube to masturbate. I never understood that. Maybe I just got lucky?
    2. I want my foreskin back :'(
  • Dude could turn it all around if he started preserving the environment somewhat...

  • I thought he wasn't allowed to delete posts? Maybe only certain types of posts?

  • Show the response like count, OP. Let's see how popular it is.

  • Before the KKK?

  • They take your kids away from you now if they hear you beat them.

  • It's fair to say that Clinton wasn't a good role model and broke his oath to his wife (so long as they weren't in an open relationship, which I doubt they were).

    Concerning the age difference: I think this is where we have a disagreement. Even if the brain is still developing at 22, a 22 year old is an adult. If you make a bad decision as an adult, I don't think the excuse that your brain is still developing holds. Monica isn't being judged for a crime (at least as far as DC law goes), but she's being socially judged for being with a married man sexually, which we know is wrong in our culture.

  • You've made some pretty good points about how disproportionate the response has been. I agree that the proportion was definitely unfair.

  • How?

  • I think it's alright to hold both of them accountable for infidelity in a social sense. Clinton being the more responsible as the man in the marriage, but Monica knew he was married. I can't see a moral argument to not hold her accountable for this as well (again, socially, not legally). They were both adults. I don't think the age difference or power dynamic lets either of them off of the hook, even though it would make the then-President comparatively more in the wrong.

    I think it's more alright to have punished Clinton for lying (under oath, right?). Even if I don't think it made sense to ask him about sexual relations, he still lied about it. I don't think there's any legal issue with what Monica did.

    I'm glad she's speaking up against bullying nowadays.

    I didn't follow each update on this situation while it was going on, so if you think I missed an important point that would change my mind, I'm open to considering it.

  • They're not paying their workers, either, and they have large targets for offshoring a percentage of their workforces.

  • Last I checked years ago, they sold their carbon credits for a whole lot of money whenever they earned them.

  • They're part of the Old Testament, which pulls from Jewish scripture, but it's all Abrahamic to me. They should post the Beatitudes if they really want to keep things Christian-specific, but they won't. Why? Just read them (and the corresponding Woes in Luke) and you'll see. The Wikipedia article should be enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes

  • AI can scrape books and journals for info, but can't scrape Reddit?

  • Less people on Mastodon, to me, means that the Mastodon community is more purposeful across their instances. Less bloat/spam/etc

  • I'm way too nervous to try river water.
