The 1990s, mate. It was a heavily union/labor state, and then the Democrats screwed over unions and the working class along with their closest Republican friends. It's really only been heavily red since 2000.
Yeah, they have better options, but they're not so much and so apparently better that they deserve to be belittled for not getting there.
You're asking individuals hobbled by generations of underinvestment in education and thoroughly immersed in propaganda to see through it to find salvation in a party that failed them almost as badly in living memory.
The Wikipedia article on the nuclear football (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear...) has a decent rundown on the operations process. Short story: the order goes through SecDef to STRATCOM, who implements based on the selected war plan. No one can veto or reverse it.
"Forms of energy our best scientists don't understand" kind of implies that their worst scientists have it figured out. Dumbfuck Greg already has 3 episodes of a podcast on that shit and has some really interesting insights.
The tip tax thing is a deduction, right? Like the overtime tax? I work a ton of overtime and the OT deduction still wasn't enough to make itemizing my deductions worth it vs the standard. Is it different for servers?
My first thought was, "well, if gun nuts have an IMFDB, car perverts have to have an IMCDB," and my faith in obsessive hobbyists was rewarded.
A Bluesky notification reading "@antiantiai.bsky.social has added you to the 'AI Haters' moderation list" from today at 1:47 pm.
Shit I would've added myself if I'd known it was an option.
You can support us by telling @propublica.org management that you will honor our digital picket line once we call a strike: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Militaries in general are huge carbon emitters - the US military is one of the worst individual polluters in the world. I imagine the amount of emissions associated with militarism on an industrial scale vastly outweighs individuals, even in the millions.
I love my Fiio FT1s (www.fiio.com/ft1). Great quality and extremely comfortable. I hate the heat and these never make my ears sweat, even after wearing them for hours. Extremely reasonably priced as well. You can find them lots of places - I think I bought mine from B&H.
I knew you were associated with the show but I didn't realize I was hearing your voice until Baby Bertram and I lurched out of my chair like Dr. Strangelove. Seeing your work in new contexts is always a delight.
Cheat as in exploit the game rules, or cheat as in use tools to turn your characters into demigods? Because you can do both/either.
I have a Marmot jacket and a North Face jacket that have both lasted a long, long time, but my current economical go-to is an REI brand rain shell. Perfectly waterproof and very reliable.
I mean if he kept their money and did his best to see them destroyed I would say yeah, fair play, but claiming that returning the money "undermines representative democracy" is the most galaxy brain shit I've heard in a while.
I really like my book, but I do wish you'd made the text less legible or used cursive or something because my 12 year old claimed it and refuses to give it back.
Once you know about the secure shoelace knot you cannot simply step back into ignorance. Finding this site is like stepping out of Plato's cave.
I see a lot more than one man in that invasion.
“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
You voted to fund the fascist brown shirts terrorizing Americans across the country. You're an absolute embarrassment and as a Washingtonian I intend to see you out of office as soon as possible.
Fake advertisement for Draft Kings in a print copy of The Onion. In the front of a photo of a house with a foreclosure sign, it reads: "Draft Kings Earn a free $10 toward buying back your house."
excellent work by @theonion.com this month
i shared my peace prize with you please respond
Well I've heard an armed society is a polite society so I assume plenty of productive conversation and consensus building.
I mean, South Korea was a dictatorship in the living memory of most of its citizenry, so I imagine they're a little more serious about nipping that sort of thing in the bud.
People invested in seeing this as an individual problem (why aren't YOU having kids) don't recognize interventions taken at a collective level. Easing boundaries to parenthood isn't a solution in their eyes, but offering baby bounties is - no matter how effective the former or eugenicist the latter.
Graham Linehan, best known for being a funny British/Irish guy before pivoting to transphobic asshole whom none of his former friends can stand.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
I got gout - in the big toe, classic presentation - and my doctor did some blood work to check causes. Everything was normal except an indicator for potential auto-immune disorders. Most notably? Lupus. It was a certified Dr. House from House moment, especially because I don't have lupus.
