It’s really easy to convince people that “different” is worse, it seems.

I’d support a threat of secession.

Too?

That scares me more, honestly. The police riding around in a malfunctioning APC…

Good thing we spent the last 25 years giving the police surplus military equipment.

Some don’t care, and some don’t have the energy to. This is by design.

“Longstanding policy” = what we did the last time this fucker was elected. There is no precedent for this, and the entire judicial branch shrugged and said “What are you going to do?”.

The Democrats impeached him twice but there was no way he was ever going to be convicted with the Senate in its then-state. Meanwhile, his lawyers and Judge Cannon have been doing nothing but delaying until checks watch now! Unless you have an idea for speeding up the American judicial system? If there was enough support from any state to straight up not let him run, then they would have done so. But as we’ve seen, 40% of the American voting populace have the intelligence of a kindergartner and just votes for “the other party” when the economy isn’t doing well.

That’s just because they live in the 21st century.

Do they? Most of their military supplies come straight from us in the form of donations. I don’t believe they’ve ever really spent that much money that we didn’t hand them to give back to the MIC, like a parent giving their kid a dollar to buy an ice cream cone.

I enjoy how everyone just kinda ignores the fact that the ones trying to stop people from voting are always the Republicans.

If it costs the NYT money and buys the workers some bargaining power, I’m all for it.

shrug Where I live, cars feel (and know) that they’re invincible and likely to suffer no punishment if they kill someone.

Drivers like to think that they can do no wrong all the time, not just when it suits their purpose.

I’ve never heard of transpire being used for the first definition. Perspiration is the act of sweating, and it comes from Latin I think? High school was so long ago.

Incorrect. E-bikes are actually economically viable. Show me an electric motorcycle that actually makes sense to buy.

An ex-coworker of mine recommended Mango Languages, which is supposed to be much better and also if you have a library card, you can usually get a subscription for free through them! The lessons are probably a little longer than 30 seconds, but not too much longer. I’d say a minute tops.

This might be survivorship bias. If you get hit by a cyclist, you might - worst case Ontario - break a limb or something if they send you flying into something else. If you get hit by a driver, you are definitely going to break something and you will most likely die.

As for how likely it is that you actually get hit - do you think it’s easier to avoid a 2’ x 6’ object moving at 15 mph or a 8’ x 16’ object moving at 45 mph?

You’ve waited years for this moment, haven’t you?

Indeed it is. :) At least I don’t have a space in my name. That’s how you know who the real bots are.

Especially not with a fucking adjective-noun username.
