You have an incredibly childish view of the world.

From his Wikipedia page:

In 2018, Platner returned to Kabul, Afghanistan, for about six months as a State Department security contractor with Constellis, the private military company formerly known as Blackwater, where he provided diplomatic security to the US ambassador to Afghanistan.

He worked as security to the US ambassador for 6 months. And quit because he disliked the military industrial complex that he was witnessing from the inside.

As a former military person he could have lived the good life cashing giant checks from Blackwater until he reached retirement. Instead he quit to take on the not so cushy life of being an oyster farmer. And now he is diving head first into the wood chipper that is a political campaign in the United States against a well established GOP incumbent.

To be dismissive of such a person is reductive and unnecessarily demeaning. And leads me to wonder if you are being disingenuous in hopes of helping one of the, quite frankly utterly despicable, other candidates.

FUCKING… this is the god damned grown up internet where you can fucking swear all the fuck day long. This self censoring shit can stay on god damned reddit and youtube.

What’s being talked about in this thread are not cellar spiders. But a different species that is also referred to as Daddy Long legs called a harvestman. Which is an arachnid but not a spider.

“what about repeat violent offenders.”

This is conservative paranoia propaganda at work. People who are violent offenders become repeat violent offenders because of the system that we have in place not in spite of it. And the percentage of violent offenders in our prison system is severely out of proportion to those of the nonviolent variety who make up the bulk of our inmate population.

Not a spider, but still pretty freaky.

Yeah, that’s something that absolutely has to change. I don’t care if “career criminals get out of charges all the time”. A false charge should not follow you for the rest of your life.

Then again, I also believe that if you serve your time in prison and are released, you should not have a publicly searchable record that can be used to deny you opportunities. So take my opinion as you will

You should try actually reading the article before commenting instead of just ignorantly putting your two cents in.

Actually, Amazon’s profits are skyrocketing right now. They’re doing the layoffs anyway cause they can always make more money.

Anti-DEI is racism personified. They coat it in a glossy shade of “equality for white people too” but since white people have literally always been favored, this is not only disingenuous but outright bullshit. The right wing racists have been trying to obliterate affirmative action ever since it was first implemented. They’ve been working tirelessly for over 40 years to set the table across the world for the right wing takeover that is occurring right now. And the only way to defeat it is to fight back with every ounce of strength we have.

It does quite alright in python

That’s cause python is the most forgiving language you could write in. You could drop entire pages of garbage into a script and it would figure out a way to run properly.

The problem is that he is galvanizing a huge part of the country who think exactly the same as him. And though they only really represent around a third of the total voting populace, they are bolstered by the die hard republicans who robotically vote R on every ticket every time they are at the ballot box.

Literally everything they say is projection. Pedophilia, over emotionalism, over dependence on wealthy donors… Nothing negative they say is about the other party it’s always about themselves.

Sunlight shines on a dog’s ass at least twice a day.

What Amazon eliminated was your ability to download your books and then load them to your Kindle from your computer instead of using their whisper net.

Is it possible to import Kindle books to this device?

I ask because my Kindle library is fairly extensive and giving it up would be uncomfortable to say the least.

That didn’t work out as well as Reagan thought it would. And has been fucking up our air travel situation for the last 40 years. To do it again would literally kill air travel in the country for the next 30 years. People would literally stop flying.

Edit: to be clear, I’m not saying this isn’t going to happen. Trump is a fucking moron who thinks of himself as the second coming of Reagan. So he will 100% happily fire all of the traffic controllers we have if they even breathe the word “strike”. I’m just outlining what a god-awful fucked up future we have in store for us.

For me it was when he thought “what” and then in he immediate next panel says “what?”. Gets me rolling every time I think about it.

I was waiting for the part where Carly accidentally gets pregnant cause, you know, that happens a lot. And their happy life gets obliterated by being forced to carry the fetus to term, because of GOP abortion laws, and raise a child they didn’t want all the while damaging the ever living fuck out the kid’s mind through bad parenting via neglect and self hatred.

Technically you’re talking about zennials, or gen Z’ers however you want to refer to them. Millennials (1980-1999) are actually pretty well off in comparison to anyone most people born after Y2K.

I honestly don’t want to think about how awful it’s going to be for people born after 2010 when they reach adulthood.
