  • I try to control my wife the same amount that she tries to control me, which is to say not much at all but we communicate expectations which we think are reasonable. Like yeah, have friends and hang out with them without me, but I'm gonna be pissed off if you stay out until 3am without checking in. Extreme example, but you get my point. We check in before planning/doing shit that affects each other, and once in a while there is a good reason for the answer to be no.

  • Something something make Germany great again.

    Not one of Hitler's campaign slogans, but the phrase was featured in several speeches. It's not clear to me whether Trump was ripping off Hitler or Reagan. And it's neither here nor there but maybe Reagan was ripping off Hitler; idk and idc, he's dead now and was an absolute monster either way.

  • Is it fake news or is it bad press? Are they inventing deaths or are they real and you just don't want anybody to talk about it? There's a pretty big difference between those things, Pete.

  • That depends. Cheap bullshit microwaves just have a preloaded time and power level, but microwaves with humidity sensors inside will run based on that when you use the popcorn button. Sometimes there are other buttons that make use of that sensor too.

    But yeah, you're really best off throwing it on like 4 minutes and standing there waiting for the popping to trail off and then manually stop it, usually like 3 minutes in. Depends on your microwave wattage.

  • Now I'm not generally one to kink shame, but if detaining toddlers moves your needle in the direction of sexy time, then you're a sick fuck who needs to be removed from society and under the care of a licensed professional. And this is the same piece of shit who bragged in her autobiography about shooting a puppy? Fucking monster.

  • And that's why I'm assuming it's something worse, otherwise why are they going to such lengths to hide shit that we already assume to be true?

  • Don't get your hopes up. They ain't leaving. They just threaten to leave to try to get their way. We are the 90 pound girl with a black eye and the billionaires are our abusive boyfriend, trying to convince us that we're nothing without them when really it's the other way around.

  • Shhh, don't remind him. He got his shiny little gold trinket and moved on to the next distraction from the trump Epstein files.

  • Are you saying that these things are not happening?

  • Harris was imperialist and colonialist, but not fascist. It's ludicrous to equivocate trump and Harris as both being fascist.

    And in any case, yeah, vote for progressives in primaries. I know that there wasn't a real primary for 24, but that has more to do with Biden not stepping aside soon enough than anything else. Dem voters are getting tired of establishment enablers, and DNC leadership is no longer interfering to pick favorites (see Mamdani's victory) so we could actually see progressives taking over the party.

    You're painting a false equivalency (both sides the same) and pining for other options without actually offering a solution for how to get there, implying that we just stay home and not vote at all. You're the problem. If you don't like the fascism, vote against the fascist. If you don't like the non fascist option, tough shit because there may not be a next time if the fascist wins (and he did and here we are talking about suspending elections). If you actually want better Democrats in the general for the 26 elections, you need to start paying attention now because it's primary season already, and you can and should be donating/volunteering for who you believe in.

    If you're being serious about wanting an option outside of the two parties, only one of them is open to things like ranked choice to get rid of first past the post and eliminating the electoral college so that it's people and not land doing the voting. Spoiler alert: convincing people to withhold their vote helps the other guys win, and they're thrilled to keep it a two party system. You may not like somebody milquetoast like Biden, but he course corrected and arrested the slip into fascism while getting some progressive stuff through. Not enough, but it's fucking silly to say that Harris was the same as Biden and also Harris is the same as trump.

  • Yeah, so would it really be so surprising if big business sent lobbyists to push the government to get drugs into the country so more people could be arrested and forced to do slave labor for said big business? The lobbying would only need to me cheaper than paying the laborers. Slashing labor costs would yield record profits, and this is not news to the psychopaths who run massive companies.

  • That we know of. Would you honestly be surprised at this point if our tax dollars were going to the cartels, moving drugs in here just so there could be drug arrests? For some reason we decided that felons can't have guns or vote even after they've done their time, and we've decided that enslavement of convicts is perfectly legal.

  • Nobody who has any respect for trump has any respect left for women. They wouldn't give a flying fuck about standing up for the women's team. And part of me hopes that they show up just to prove me wrong and publicly call him a misogynistic piece of shit when he does shit talk the women's team.

  • Fair. I find the function sufficient to outshine the form, but that's my opinion and yours is just as valid. Cheers!

  • Wow! You mean that thing that a shitload of people were screaming warnings about has finally been heard? And only 18 months too late to do anything about it! At this rate, they might figure out that trump is a pedophile before he dies. I sure do have a lot of hope that future elections are gonna go well and totally not be ratfucked out in the open with no pushback of any actual consequence. I'm glad that there will be a stern letter threatening to file a lawsuit (that will never happen) due to armed CBP and ICE at the polls terrorizing BIPOC. Inspiring stuff, papa Schumer!

  • Just curious why you are so against a hatchback. After living with my Rav4 for ten years, I love the cargo capability. I also want a smaller, AWD EV that's reasonably priced, but I would actually prefer another hatchback. I'd budge on that preference if it were significantly cheaper to, but it wouldn't be, so I'm happy to take the extra cubic feet.

  • Sounds like her lawyer was terrible if she got stuck with that chudmobile.

  • As in he avoided both or that in both cases he had a doctor sign off on a bullshit lie? I'm just wondering if this obvious dementia is hereditary or syphilitic.

  • Modern day Indiana Jones, but like, not Shia or whatever the last one was.

  • It took me several minutes but I finally got it. The comment saying to focus on the "anomaly" and how it could be 7 helped me to get there.

    Yeah, feels pretty silly that I didn't see it sooner. I overcomplicated it haha.
