lmao what, based on me being annoyed that an elected Dem refuses to endorse another elected Dem who was chosen by far more Democratic voters than he was? please explain how i “hate Democrats”
“why do you want the party all on the same page” idk man have you been alive the last decade? i’m tired of this shit
Because he’s a national leader and it’s bad for the party and the progressive movement writ large if one of the most influential figures in the party is hostile to a local elected official who is himself more popular than most other members of the party? I want Dems to get their shit together, man.
I am sad that the nuclear block culture faded with each new influx of users.
The weirdness isn't the shoulder pads being too big and high up, that's normal for Trump. It's the odd drape past the armhole that tapers into his armpit, as though there's an anterior ridge that the sleeve is hanging on
That's not the weird part, the weird part is the drape around where his shoulder is
13% ROI, because the stock market's historic run in the last decade is definitely an accurate and precise predictor of its future performance over the rest of my working life
Yes, but at least he doesn’t lie about what he ultimately believes. He’s honest about being a racist.
and, um, Liz Bruenig might not have been representative of any elected leftward point of either, for many reasons

I am hearing that on his deathbed he received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
It’s incredible how well directed and edited the show is for a show that’s clearly just written through improv. Just a fantastic process they’ve figured out.

The only person in the loop about what Trump will do is the last person to have spoken to him, and that’s contingent on getting a pen in his hand before someone else gets to him.
Americans don’t understand how hard the job of progressive elected is in a simultaneously diversifying and aging society and basically every major left party outside the US should confirm this. You’re fighting a lot of innately destructive human impulses!
The same thing that would have happened to Canada had Trump not decided to arrest that movement for some insanely stupid reason
you can tell it’s not Trump because Trump knows you have already pondered and thanks you for it while Navarro just kindly suggests you do so
this presumes the primary function of schools to be learning, and not daycare which is why liberals were less bothered by the remote learning than conservatives

Subsonic rounds are typically quieter than rounds with normal loads fired from a suppressed gun, as well as having less recoil. And they're widely available without any regulation. So what mass shootings have taken place with subsonic rounds, in order to harness this supposed advantage?

(and as always, this is not an argument for racial segregation or national ethnic homogeneity, merely a comment on the dynamics used by American politicians to radicalize an inherently social species towards asocial policies)
If you pretend race doesn’t exist, they might be! But the leftward tilt of Europe (and the Anglosphere writ large as well) is entirely a product of “our populations are mostly ethnically homogeneous so we’re happy to take care of each other”
unfortunately, yes and taking pride in not knowing things is the hallmark of anti-intellectualism, especially in the context of proposing legislation, which very much requires specific knowledge!
anti-intellectualism but leftistly

meta has diversified from creating sex bots for children to sex bots of children, truly a delightful company
And worth noting: ~60% of all gun deaths in the US are suicides. Preventing as many of them as possible is a very valid and noble intent for gun control!
i tried to learn finnish for my trip over there and quickly realized this was going to be a "phrase memorization only" sort of affair. absolutely impossible for non-native speakers to gain even a foothold without years of study
lmfao at Finnish, god that language is such a fucking disaster to try to learn
before we go too far down this road i think we're going to need to start distinguishing between children's media and "young adult" media because otherwise, yikes
Do you have a summary of the amendments that Wicks noted regarding Tier 3 provisions and historical zones?
If you take Wicks summary at face value, losing Tier 3 provisions is a huge loss, as well as concessions to historical districts. Didn't expect it to get beat up some bad in the Assembly vs. the Senate, but here we are. At least we're getting floor votes.
1 and 3 are fine though. 2 just looks like if Mississippi's was an app icon
honestly you probably could, ARs are pretty simple to just take apart intuitively it's getting the goddamn pivot pin spring back in place that's the real fun and you don't need to do that during a field strip
And now we're back to "the problem with a lot of anti-gun advocates is they don't know what they're talking about" because this is again not how suppressors work. A suppressed AR-15 sits somewhere between "a jet taking off" and "jackhammer" in terms of noise, and still sounds exactly like a gun.
Would have the added advantage for Vance that it would take out the natural heir to Trump’s MAGA
You said we should regulate all firearms as we regulate suppressors. It’s a hard sell but I don’t think one that’s inherently harder of a sell than any other gun regulation. It’s really just centralizing the records we’re ahead have, that are falsely obfuscated by legislation.
Agree on the first part, but they just don’t do anything that enhances lethality in crimes. There’s no reason for mass shooters to use them.
If you’re proposing a gun registry for all firearms similar to how the ATF manages suppressors and fully automatic firearms, I already support that. But the registry for suppressors is not what’s preventing them from making mass shootings more dangerous.

I don’t want to pretend like suppressors are a method of gun control, just that they don’t really meaningfully contribute to gun violence.
That or fix the courts, but that would take much longer and likely not be as durable as simply amending the second amendment to strengthen the requirement of a well-armed militia to have it only apply to national guardsmen.
No, and mass shooters aren’t typically that concerned with accuracy. But adding a suppressor does mess with the gas blowback on a firearm, and if you don’t tweak it properly it won’t cycle properly and jam. Look at Luigi Mangione, his gun jammed after every shot because of the suppressor.
Suppressors have become such a weird shibboleth for both pro- and anti-gun advocates, I’ve long advocated that if anti-gun advocates can get anything in a trade for legalizing suppressors they should take it in a heartbeat. They’re more likely to impede mass shootings than contribute to them.
The solution to this is simply to ban semiautomatic firearms, or at least license them. But Americans do not in general want this, nor would such a law survive a 2A challenge under our courts.
California did this. On an unrelated note, I own an AR-15 in California, and I’m not breaking the law. There are numerous trivially easy ways I can avoid breaking the law, and if I wanted to use the AR-15 for bad purposes, it would take me ~1 minute to configure it illegally.
No, I am asking you if you would support a proposition making it illegal to charge more than $1 a month for rent. There’s a difference.

oh word, can we see those right wing influencer contracts?
Also, as someone who rented most of my adult life... "mom and pop" landlords are not necessarily better and certainly far less consistent than corporate landlords same as working for a small shop and working for a big company, size brings consistency, not quality.
If you're interested, NIFC (the US side of the firefighting agreement) likes posting up photos of the international collaborations between crews. Here's their album from this summer. www.flickr.com/photos/nifc/...
This is untrue. If we're just talking recently, US crews mobilized to Canada during June this summer, as well as during the catastrophic 2023 season. Also, crews from either country are paid for by the requesting agency. They're less "favors" and more "how firefighting works".
alright, i guess we should hold the Supreme Court to the same standards then next time Dems are in power. why should they make law when the American people haven't had a chance to weigh in?

He's not, they shot some scenes concurrently with #3 but they're on hiatus right now, probably waiting until #3 comes out to judge. but this was a period where they'd stop doing filming for a bit, since there's apparently a time jump built into the story between 3 and 4
