Your move, brain worms.

Utter nonsense claim.

Ah yes, the baseball-based investment strategy.

Not a surprise at all.

I think you underestimate how well-known he is, especially to Republicans. He is definitely a Trump yes-man and always has been, but he is not an unknown at all.

FlyingSquid , 12 days ago

I totally forgot about that, you’re right.

FlyingSquid , 12 days ago

He’s a completely corrupt piece of shit that I’m sure they didn’t vet properly since Trump gets what he wants, so expect all kinds of skeletons to start coming out. Could even be some literal ones.

So keep burning that coal.

Russia, a major producer of oil and gas, has an interest in slowing the transition to renewable energy sources.

That’s the main reason. NATO doesn’t need Russia or people’s opinions to prepare for climate change for the same reason the U.S. military doesn’t and is.

Honestly, I’m surprised she didn’t just say it was legal because he was still the president since the election was a fraud and the president can do things like that.

Very interesting timing.

Seems like they’re making a whole list of crimes Biden can get away with though…

It wouldn’t shock me if SCOTUS calls take backsies if a Democrat ever gets back into office.

So special attorneys, which have been used by pretty much every administration and every congress since the position was created, are not valid now?

Yep. Good luck to the Trump administration trying to enforce anything between this an Chevron.

I am trying to keep “hopeful” that they’ll stick to their Project 2025 plans in the sense that they’ll try to do it through legal shenanigans and loopholes rather than just sending out the Gestapo and keeping everyone in their homes with machine guns.

What a loss to the world that man’s death was. One of the only conservatives (although he was relatively apolitical) I respected.

FlyingSquid OP , 12 days ago

You would… if we lived in a world where the tech industry gave a shit about their employees.

FlyingSquid OP , 12 days ago

How “generous” of a company dedicated to helping people doing remote work.

FlyingSquid OP , 12 days ago

I hope you have clean underwear.

FlyingSquid OP , 12 days ago

It would be amazing to do some malicious compliance and find a way to move 51 miles from an office if you could afford to though.

I guarantee you that the Emirs take the bigoted stance that Uyghurs aren’t “true” Muslims, so it’s acceptable.

No one more willing to compromise their principles than the people in charge of a country based on theocratic ones, even a somewhat less oppressive one relative to the region like the UAE.

FlyingSquid , 13 days ago

Republicans were totally with them until the Allah part.

FlyingSquid OP , 13 days ago

No thanks, I’m trying to cut down. But I like the video.

FlyingSquid OP , 12 days ago

I’ve been in such a costume in the Los Angeles summer. I used to work in the entertainment industry- the one that makes movies and TV shows, not the one that plays saxophones at birthday parties- but I won’t go into the details. Let’s say that it is not something that was ever worth watching.

You are correct, it’s brutal.

“We don’t care if he’s innocent. How often do we get to have a good ol’ lynching these days?”

I don’t know, I’m sure they’d be fine letting it go to waste if Mr. Williams was of a lighter skin tone.

Unfortunately, the governor of Missouri is a criminal- missouriindependent.com/…/stinks-quite-a-bit-mike…

And almost all his policies suck. Many of them are just cruel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Parson#2020_election

Oh, and you know who’s criminal conviction he did meddle with? missouriindependent.com/…/gov-mike-parson-faces-b…

It might be the media distorting it, but it seems like it’s an especially big issue in East Asian countries. I didn’t know about Singapore, but I know it’s a serious issue in both South Korea and Japan, which are about to have a huge number of elderly and not enough people to care for them.

How do you even get around to the “I’m bored, so I’ll commit murder” mode of thinking?

FlyingSquid , 13 days ago

I guess I just can’t even comprehend looking at what is undeniably a member of my species that way.

FlyingSquid , 12 days ago

I’d like to think so, thank you.

FlyingSquid , 12 days ago

I hope so. My grandmother died of pancreatic cancer and she suffered a lot. That was in the 90s, so hopefully they have better treatment at this point, but a cure would be amazing. Fuck cancer.

They’ve a (small) army,

With the most adorable uniforms.

(They are allowed sub machine guns along with those pikes when doing Pope guard duty.)

The British version was much better, IMO.

Also, I attended a live robot battle event at DragonCon around the same time. It was lots of fun.

FlyingSquid , 13 days ago

For the elderly or disabled dire wolf who still wishes to see combat.

FlyingSquid , 13 days ago

No, not ceremonial, just adorable.

Like I said, they also have sub machine guns.

FlyingSquid , 13 days ago

Yeah, we wouldn’t want to teach people to read and write when they’re too young. That would be bad because hormones.

If only bigots cared about science that didn’t agree with their bigotry.

FlyingSquid , 13 days ago

They give a shit about the “science” they think supports their point. Even if it’s something like phrenology.

Maybe we should try to “cure” all of it. If there was a pill that would “cure” my cisgenderness and make me trans, maybe it would be worth a try. Maybe I’d be happier as a woman even if I didn’t identify as one before.

Sexual preference too. Maybe I’d be happier being gay. If I could “cure” my heterosexuality, maybe my life would be more fulfilling.

It would be worth a try anyway.

Bring on the pills! Better living through chemistry!

(Obviously I’m being flippant. Any sort of “cure” would be designed to only go one way and we all know which way.)

I’m not sure what you mean by separating the biological and the neurological. Isn’t neurology a component of biology?

I went to school with a Duwaney Duwaney (not quite sure how it was spelled, but that’s what it sounded like). He did not name himself, however. Agreed, Wilson Wilson is terrific.

this is not something you should say to any human.

Don’t you kink shame me.

Putin is also not suicidal. And he has grandchildren.

He’s an absolute monster, but he’d have to be hiding in the bunker with Eva and the German shepherds before he pushed the button.

BEES ARE ALIENS. WAKE UP.

If you haven’t seen John Oliver’s Dollar Stores segment, I highly recommend it. You will see exactly what these stores are doing to these employees.
