As an individual territory, the U.S. is isolated. As an empire, we have bases on every continent. The risk isn’t being killed. It’s being declawed.

Not advocating for American imperialism, just clarifying the point.

Ah, yes. One of those good Jim Crow policies.

My brother-in-law has one of these trucks. He still lives with his parents, doesn’t tow or haul anything, and works as a janitor. He’s paying $350/month on the loan just so he can feel cool.

I keep saying it: they need to abolish the size limit of the House. It’s been frozen for 100 years while the US population has exploded. The result has been less representation for urban areas and more for rural, both in Congress and when deciding president via the electoral college. You actually normalize it so everyone’s voice is heard equally? Congressional gridlock goes away. “Stolen” elections go away.

No, capitalism is feudalism with loot boxes! Because I could win the lottery.

That last point is why I couldn’t play Fallout 4. My son was kidnapped, my spouse was killed, and I need to find out who did it and where they are! Right after I save a library, build a town, and solve some detective mysteries, I guess.

Because last time his number one policy promise was to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. And his number two promise was an alternative to Obamacare.

He’s not so great at following through with his promises. That’s the only thing non-MAGAs have going for them: he’s pretty incompetent.

I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I’d bought more, just to be safe.

A buddy of mine got “OUCH” on the inside of his lip. Ironically, it hurt a lot less than the piece on his shin.

For real. Any gun I could obtain as a private citizen is not going to stand up to the weight of the police, let alone the US military if a true authoritarian regime took over. My right to a hunting rifle doesn’t matter when they have tanks and drones.

The bigger problem is that the number of seats in the House has been frozen for about a hundred years. Our population exploded, but our number of representatives stayed static, so places with the most people actually get less representation in congress.

On top of this, the number of electors a state has its equal to the number of representatives that state has in the Senate and the House combined. So more populated states also get underrepresented in the presidential election.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was absolutely fucked, but it’s not what is deadlocking the House now and its not what is letting a people lose the popular vote and still go on to be president in 21st century elections.

The real problem is that the size of the House of Representatives has been frozen for 100 years. The number of electoral college votes a state has is equal to the number of reps and senators they have. Since the House hasn’t grown alongside our population, the relative representation for rural areas has steadily grown more and more.

Ending the cap on the House would balance out the electoral college issues and help reduce the constant congressional deadlocks we’re seeing.

Except that elections happen every year…

The difference being the PS4 wasn’t backwards compatible. The remaster was intended for people who hadn’t and couldn’t play the PS3 version.

PS5 is backwards compatible, making this a little more bullshit.

Walmart credit card. They don’t need to estimate when you willingly provide it.

But if you’re not scanning your card with the checkout, how do they know what you purchased? Scanning on entrance just confirms that you entered the store, while scanning with checkout was used to confirm what you purchased on that trip.

Unless you’re using a Costco-issued card at checkout, too, I would have same question. And if you are still scanning at checkout, then this isn’t the time-saver they’re purporting.

My fiancé was on the phone with her mother yesterday, explaining Project 2025 to her, and her mother literally said, “Oh, Trump wouldn’t go along with all that. He used to be a Democrat, so he’s petty liberal for a Republican.”

Where do you charge them?

When I was in high school, the girls’ running team made shirts that said, “Fast girls have good times.” It’s been more than twenty years, and I still think about how funny that double-entendre is.

So, yeah, you would’ve sold a lot more weiners.

That’s why the move is to edit all of your comments into jumbled nonsense and then delete them.
