: They're basically a type of Mongolian.

I just go through and start clicking everything, then un-click it if it's libshit.

I pray for the liberation of South Korea.

I was thinking about how the most fucked-up perceptions of homeless people are pretty easily debunked if people look at information about systemic poverty, the causes of homelessness, etc., but how it basically doesn't matter because we have so many people who want to believe that there are subhumans among them who need to be culled.

Honestly he should just hang dong publicly. As in, he should just show his cock. Make it about cock. Goad Trump into showing his cock, maybe Biden's is bigger, and he could win entirely off of USA being fucking stupid.

I'm only 1/16th joking.

Alfred was always depicted as competent, never as senile. Even if they did an "Alfred gets Alzheimer's" story arc, Batman also has Barbara Gordon, Dick Grayson, and whichever Robin he has lying around to watch the cave.

K-pop to me is like the musical equivalent of extremely over-processed cheese. It's so corporate I feel like I can hear the execs jacking it to CP in the background of every track.

Smaller communities strike me as more "natural" to engage with, by which I mean, the human brain (or mine at least) seems better equipped to engage with small groups of familiar people than a sea of usernames I don't know and have no real rapport with.

but when people say they create their own echo chambers Yada Yada thing, even though I would agree with that, it's interesting to see how people who believe different things, are just amongst eachother.

I think being exposed to the cacophony of "sound" online had given a lot of people strange ideas about "echo chambers." To me it's extremely natural and obvious that most people would gravitate towards people they actually like and broadly agree with, rather than toss themselves into online spaces where they're constantly at odds with the other users. Depending on one's perspectives and political persuasions, finding those spaces can be fairly easy, or very hard.

Hell, even without the leak, the case started in December of the previous year, so he and the democratic majority in the house and senate had half a year to work on something even before the verdict was delivered. And they should have expected and prepared for a conservative-majority court to deliver such a verdict.

There's really no viable excuse, they just failed everybody.

Fuck 'em. If Joe / Democrat replacement does lose, be sure to personally take credit.

Pushing a candidate/party to the left (if such a thing were possible) requires leverage.

They didn't understand this with the whole "Bernie or Bust" thing in 2020 either. Or maybe they did, but either way, they chose to characterize it as petulant. "Taking the ball and going home" was a common way they'd try to deride it.

The parliamentarian is the one I always remember whenever they pull the condescending "do you know how your own government works?" lines, since the president had the power to unilaterally (without any other input from anyone else) fire and re-hire a new parliamentarian that was more amenable to passing his agenda.

There was even historical precedent for it thanks to good old George W. Bush doing it for exactly that reason: the guy they had wouldn't do the job, so they shit-canned him and got somebody who would! My god, look at that ruthless efficiency! He had the power to solve the problem he was faced with, and he did! With Joe Biden, everybody just whined about the parliamentarian keeping poor Joe from passing his agenda (with democratic majorities in the house and senate) until media moved on, they eventually rotated villains to Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema, etc.

Liberals are fucking jackasses. They understand this shit worse than anybody, but they're so condescending and up their own asses that they'll just keep burping up these thought-terminating cliches like they're making a point.
