I hope you’re right about that but I’ll be legitimately shocked if that turns out to be true to any significant degree.

There are no moderate Republicans. Anyone who calls themselves a Republican in 2024 is a fascist, whether intentionally or not makes no practical difference. They will never ever vote for a Democrat. Calling them reachable voters is so hilariously out of touch that it makes me wonder where you’ve been the last 8 years.
Yes I’m saying that the branch of government whose job it is to craft laws should be the one crafting laws. It’s amazing you can disagree with such a basic statement in such a condescending way and not even question whether or not you’re a acting like an asshole. Take your shitty attitude somewhere else.
You’re assuming experts are always in charge of government agencies and I don’t think that’s true. Government always runs at least partially on the honor system, hoping that voters will punish those who abuse the public trust. We don’t do that anymore. They abuse our trust and we reelect them anyway.
Technically their interpretation is correct, laws should be explicitly enumerated by the legislative branch which has the most accountability to voters. We’re all just so desensitized to the fact that Congress is a wasteland of gridlock and special interest money that we don’t even expect them to do the job of creating laws anymore. If we had a working legislative branch this would be a gentle reminder for them to be thorough and use detailed language when crafting legislation, instead it’s a depressing reminder that our government quite literally cannot function without outsourcing the central function of one of the main branches.
That’s not the take you should come away from this story with. None of them should be allowed to do it.
You served your purpose Joe. You saved us from Trump in 2020. I wish you would have done it 6 months ago but it’s time to make as graceful an exit as you can. America has to persevere or succumb to fascism and I feel you’re making the latter more likely. It may feel like abandoning your post but it’s for the good of the nation. We need to look forward and you only remind us of the past. Please pass the baton.
Why doesn’t anyone call him out on lying about running for a second term? I very vividly remember hearing him say in 2020 that he would not seek reelection and yet here we are.
Honest question, what’s there to be hyped about? I haven’t ever looked into its feature set because it looks like ass. Do people just like the Tesla name or what?
Fair enough. Like I said, I had no context initially and it struck me as odd. Do what you feel like you need to do.
This is just a random suggested post for me so I have no context as to who this is or where this screenshot came from. However, it seems like your mood would improve if you started to ignore this person. There’s no reason to seek out any form of interaction with someone who makes you feel the way you described here unless you know them personally and I don’t think that’s the case. There’s nothing wrong with venting but that’s usually for things / people you are required to interact with. This seems voluntary and unnecessary.
You obviously don’t have to take my advice but I would encourage you to at least ponder the question “why am I paying attention to this person?”
Everyone knows, no one does anything, and on and on it goes
I’m not sure if this is a quirk of perspective or an admission that you shove your face too far in your food but it’s funny either way.
What’s there to learn that isn’t already widely known? Existing (copyright) laws are asinine and all corporations eventually become consumed by greed. That’s America in a nutshell.
Nice, it should be even easier to sneak a chicken past a guy in a wheelchair.
I mean, everything is made in China. I’m not one to shy away from calling out Republican hypocrisy but this one seems like a stretch. There’s plenty of things to criticize these guys for without making it sound like you’re just looking for something to be contrarian about.
I’m not saying there’s nothing to that but it seems to me that if the mere mention of suicide in just about any context is enough to send you over the edge then you were pretty close to falling off already. I find it difficult to attribute much to something like that.
It looks like hell took a dive right around 2020. I like to think the music industry collectively said “there’s enough hell in the real world right now so let’s sing about nicer things”
People get really weird about suicide. Almost like they think talking about it will incentivize others to kill themselves.
You make mostly good points but its stupid to call the game dead or dying. They don’t currently have a bunch of players they never expected to have in the first place. They still sold their product to those people which makes it a huge net win for them. It’s a wildly successful game by any reasonable metric you can choose to evaluate it against.
