Up until someone makes depression simulator and gamifies it into an addictive engaging game.

You’re saying two different things. Him attacking Ukraine is him doing something but the only way you could read the motivation as something done to stop Ukraine joining NATO is either basing it off of what someone in the regime said (hypocritical) or projecting what you want onto the situation to square a pre-conceived narrative in your head.

Trump looks so young in this photo, I forgot.

You’ll always find an article about violence at waffle House that makes the jokes too soon.

Your brain has rotted.

Maybe, but why not do one hobby for work then have other hobbies that you do for fun? I would much rather grow to kind of hate pottery at my pottery business and still play an instrument and bake pastries in my free time than despair in an IT job and bake pastries and do pottery in my free time and figure that instrument dream will just never happen.

The media blows this out of proportion for you to even consider this an option. If you think that’s an idea that makes sense then re-evaluate where you got that talking point.

There are laws banning trans people in states that affect like 5 people (I want to say there was a state law that literally affected one trans girl in the entire state.)

I disagree that either would be just as intuitive. Fahrenheit being 0=cold and 100=hot is intuitive because there are a lot of things we do in the world that exist on a scale of 0 - 100. Percentages, just off the bat. Also, fahrenheit has a higher degree of fidelity in the temperature range that we use.

Celsius’s general temperature scale is like -10 - 40 which is absolutely not intuitive because it doesn’t look like any other scale we use as humans. I agree that we get used to Celsius fast and it’s a fine it’s not like it’s super confusing (and Celsius is so much more useful scientifically).

How do you square what you’re saying with the very easy to find data (look it up) that says that trans people are disproportionately killed by a large amount and the easy to find laws being passed around the US using taxpayer money to specifically target trans people by denying them recognition and healthcare?

When trans people “relax the fuck out and just live life” they end up being denied jobs, medicine, and sometimes their life by bigots. What do you think they’re supposed to do?

The edges curve in 3d space, but not relative to the sphere.

Unfortunately, “Business as usual” in our political climate, is a pretty conservative sentiment.

I get that you’re saying Cheney is just making a rational decision but it doesn’t contradict the Op’s point.

this party electoral system.

Trump also caved to billionaires immediately despite all of his rhetoric.

Edit: it’s kind of whataboutism but I’m just pointing out the real problem.

Yes.

I mean, in the Bible it’s explicit that Jesus knew Judas would betray him and didn’t do anything about it whether he told him to or not. Not much explanation for that except that a martyr story is a much more powerful message.

Pessimism is easy and makes you feel smarter than everyone without having to try anything yourself. It’s kind of a win-win for your ego I guess.

Seems like a fun tongue-in-cheek thing to give one of your players inside another campaign to determine how their time with lors Byron went.

My cat likes me to pour a little bit of water into hard food and then he licks up the water until it gets absorbed by food.

I watched it a while ago, but from what I remember it’s partly that conservatives are not very creative. It’s an old bit but it’s true that lots and lots of mainstream conservative pundits tried to make it as writers in Hollywood, or at least as comedians before failing and turning to right-wing grift and money.

Another point is that political comedy, by its nature, has to express an political opinion, or else it’s not “political” comedy. The left wing can do this easily as a lot of left wing problems tend to punch up to the rich or to corporations. On the other hand, the political opinion a lot of conservative comics find “funny” is the fact that they hate women and minorities.

Unfortunately for them, the country is a little too WOKE to do black face anymore so they have to try to obscure that opinion with weird contrived bits. Bits so contrived that they end up having to spell out the joke at the end about how the funny part was that they hate women and minorities. (There are clips of this in the video). That’s a double whammy of bad comedy because it’s already a shitty premise and it breaks many rules of comedy such as punching down and explaining the joke.

It’s basically skibidi toilet for scientists.

I really really like Quorn (or however it’s spelled) as a chicken substitute. The flavor has to be added artificially but I think the texture is pretty satisfying and reminds me of chicken.
