Actually one airport I do not like to get to early: Vegas

Fucking sound of slot machines everywhere

Next time I arrive at an airport I'm just gonna chill in the waiting area for a few hours after I deplane, get tagged as a psychopath

Yeah i think one of the lessons from Trump I that seems to still be holding is that while diehard maga is indeed diehard they also tend to not show up if Trump isn’t the ballot, which opens up the possibility for massive swings when other Rs defect or don’t show up.

I can kind of see why someone would think a strip club etc aren’t really disqualifying things to do in this administration.

But like I’ve come close to missing flights across the globe because TSA was fucked for whatever reason that day, huge pita, flying is already stressful, why add to it

Also I’m a midwesterner so if I’m flying it’s probably somewhere quite far away or I’d just drive.

Really the thing for me is, assuming I actually want to be on the plane, I will be stressed before I get there. Once I am there I am in a stress free zone where I can just chill and wait to board the plane. Don’t feel obligated to work, can just be an introvert, read a book, ppl watch, w/e

Yeah to clarify I didn’t mean to imply that anyone in Israel was trying to justify it, just that anyone inclined can make an argument/choose to believe that there are reasons to hit a church in a particular moment (or that it was an accident), but that just isn’t possible with this instance.

I don’t think there’s gonna be discovery in the Patel case cause I think it’s gonna get dismissed.

Discovery would be fucking off the wall though

Mastodon says its flagship server was hit by a DDoS attack | TechCrunch The DDoS attack against Mastodon's flagship server comes less than a week after Bluesky was targeted with junk web traffic.

mastodon is also hit by a ddos. do we need to pretend that it’s also caused by vibecoding or can we drop the charade and admit that you fell for disinfo because it felt good to believe it

Is he still Tim Apple?

That poor clone

“Time is on my side” well the reaper over there is tapping his watch Mr President, whatever that means

Thank you, I felt like I’d seen this exact same thing before and couldn’t remember where

Yeah I dunno maybe I’m spoiled because DTW is just a nice airport but honestly I have problem just chilling if things go right and I’ve got time before my flight.

One of Elon’s children is a literal clone.

Also you can at least make arguments, bullshit though they may be, to justify or excuse an attack on a religious site as an unfortunate or necessary act of war (again, if it isn’t obvious, I don’t agree with that). Like the statue, what, was gonna come to life and start attacking people?

Why a lot of people care more than about an attack on a church that actually killed people is a more interesting question, and I think there are a few reasons depending on the individual ranging from “racism” to “public policy has shifted and people are less forgiving of the bad shit now.”

I personally don’t care much about the Jesus statue as an atheist, but if you don’t understand why people who are believers would be really pissed off about that I dunno.

Does Josh Barro people just stare into space?

I don’t understand how spending time at an airport is wasting time unless you, like, don’t read.

I think this goes without saying to most of us on here, but "belongs to" obviously does not mean "unquestionable," putting aside whether the president is the sole party tasked with the common good and that the freaking Pope is not also tasked with the common good.

Wow that’s a dumb thread.

This website is shitting itself more frequently than our president lately

Mississippi, America??

I don't like auto tariffs, generally speaking; you cannot win this state as a Dem without certain positions, and those positions include "american autos for all!" and "unions: pretty great, right?"

People are going to be disappointed when El-Sayed doesn't want to open the door to Chinese EVs, I guess, if they're gonna get the vapors over union pandering.

Guys, it's Michigan. You really do not need to treat this like it's a factual claim

I 100% cross to the other side of the street if I see the people who live in that particular house outside

Will never forget reporting that Trump was having second thoughts about Kavanaugh at the break point in the senate judiciary hearing, and the advice Kavanaugh got (and which worked!) was basically to come back as a giant asshole for the second half of the hearing
