Notwithstanding the cost of training!

Cutting into the fat would have meant getting rid of political appointees.

They did say “combined with a form of fusion” in the movie. Good enough for me!

Enroll in your local organization, mobilize.

Yeah but we don’t all spend most of our free time doomscrolling.

It’s fine, people can read the replies.

Okay I’ll be more careful next time. I don’t spend a lot of time here and it’s usually on the fly. I don’t mind lurking more given how some people wrote like a five page rebuttal.

Put the phone down, go do something for someone you love dammit.

Not that it’s all roses and sunshine now but it sure feels like once the age pyramid stabilizes. We’ll have moved 2 step forwards and the step back might be behind us for 2 more steps. Here’s me sending hope out there.

It’s fine, points and internet strangers don’t matter as much as they’d like too. We can still have a nuanced discussion, you just need to ignore the people who feed off their internet addiction to outrage and thinking clicking a thumbs down on a keyboard fulfills their social duties. I didn’t notice the underage part which is clearly problematic and changes the discussion and yes we need a society that discourages this type of behavior.

Oh missed that part

Not how rapes work but okay. Not trying to be contrarian here, Gaetz is a POS. Just think sex work has a place and isn’t rape.

The “Boys will be boys” crowd, it’s not a bug but a feature of patriarchy that men are only predators because girls can’t stop seducing them. They have no agency there, just in the things like bringing the bacon home.

I had one of those beast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_drive Probably still have it somewhere among the dust.

Yeah that was my guess

Just replace them with AI, that should go well /s

Also harder to see for predators.

Yeah but there is no quid pro quo with Mamdani. As far as I know…

Someone played command and conquer.

I think it’s more nuanced, like unless of a particular handicap pratice will make you good. But being exceptional requires something that is a closely guarded secret by the gods. So yeah, like the succesful actor on a talk show talking about working hard to get at your dreams sorts of diminish the hard work of anyone who doesn’t reach the top. So yeah, talent is honed but exceptional talent is not.
