Never assume these assholes are ”speaking sense”, it’s always sketch as hell and there’s an underlying motive. For example: “Large” Marge Greene is against it because she just hates Jewish people that much (see also Eric Clapton’s alleged support for Palestine).

They’ve been saying “any day now” for twenty-some years

I’m expecting a false-flag attack here soon to give him an excuse to officially pull the US into it

Who is on the side of ending qualified immunity: pretty much anyone who isn’t a cop or authoritarian.

As much as the votes on reproductive rights and cannabis gave me hope, the legislature’s responses on both left me cold, as some of these scumbags are not above ignoring the will of the electorate, and with the way the winds are blowing now, I’d not put it past them to move forward now to do just that.

I think there’s potential of the issue passing—as with the aforementioned reproductive rights and cannabis measures—but I fully expect a ballot issue on abolishing QI to meet a whole bunch of rigging and disenfranchisement fuckery, plus I fear that people may be intimidated or otherwise discouraged from voting altogether.

Okay but how about compensation for all those people he’s fucked over by dismantling federal programs? I want this guy to be standing by a freeway on-ramp wearing a barrel and begging in vain for spare change, before dejectedly walking up said on-ramp to lie down in front of an oncoming cement truck.

Spot-on re: 1. When I saw that I thought, “why fucking bother with these people?” Don’t Coachella/Burning Man/SXSW demographics comprise primarily techbros and other guillotine fodder nowadays?

It’s by design though, isn’t it? Are there even any crypto green flags? Why are any of these ventures treated as anything other than rug-pull scams?

I’d once heard that it wasn’t even about West Virginia, the state, but rather west Virginia, the region. Dunno about the veracity of that statement, but

A Time to Kill

Yep, that’s p much what they’re doing with’m They’re not nearly as delicious tho

Adios and adieu also both refer to god; I’m sure other Romance languages say goodbye similarly but I don’t know Italian or Romanian or whatever

Doesn’t work if, like in my line of work, you have to cite specific locations in each paper for data verification. Sci-hub is your friend, when it works

Absence of an inner monologue does not mean that there is no thought process. I’ve done just fine without one myself. Can’t speak to whatever is plaguing the fundamentalists apart from indoctrination and being steeped in an oppressive culture that’s been fostered over generations.

Give it a few years, they’ll be picking it up in middle school at least

My daughter has been scoring very high in math this year in fifth grade so they wanted to give her more advanced stuff to do, like moving into basic statistics. She isn’t having any of it though, she hates math and gets terrible anxiety from it. She just wants to sculpt and make puppets instead. Can’t say I blame her, I was the same way.

…yet I’d cherish a job where I’d just spend all day futzing around in R

Okay, gotcha, I was looking at it from their point of view, which is that everything to them is bigotry, not realizing that that’s what you were saying in the first place. The bad, it is mine.

.ml tends to slap “rule 1” on everything, which says don’t be a bigot, even if that’s obviously not what the comment was about.

[emphasis mine]

Sure about that? From what I’ve seen, anything said in disagreement with the predominant opinion over there (and on hexbear, especially on hexbear) is deemed “bigotry”. They don’t appear to be interested in ingratiating anyone to the cause.

Plungers wrapped in cheap tinfoil, don’t want to give them anything they can melt down and sell

Ehh, it stops being fun when you see your dreams crushed so thoroughly and so repeatedly. I do not miss academia, the little bit of time I spent in it.

You could easily fuck it up more. Like, shoot in the opposite direction, or shoot for the sun. Hell, you could just blow the rocket up altogether. Guys, it’s so easy to fuck it up waaayyy more.

Like he even read the response
