Bill: give $1000b to Israel Amendment to bill: give $999b to Israel instead Trolls if AOC votes for the amendment: she voted to give $999b to Israel! Trolls if AOC votes against it: she voted against cutting a $1b from Israel! If you're against genocide of Palestinians, don't sabotage ourselves
so you don't think Israeli troll farms, which have admitted to trying to undermine pro-Palestinian politicians on social media, would have anything to do with using social media to undermine AOC, who is pro-Palestine?
Just to be clear, you're saying this is a hallucination? www.france24.com/en/technolog...
the number of missiles the bill amendment would have defunded: 0
what does this have to do with people on social media exploding in anger at AOC for voting No on an amendment to a bill that would've saved zero Palestinian lives, on a bill that she also voted No on overall?
It's been well known for over a decade that most of the extremely rage-baity comments on social media are from professional trollfarms. Their goal is to "both sides" everything so Democrats don't show up to vote

All the sins of Wade–Giles romanization, rendering 北京 as "Peking" and all, are forgiven for setting up this joke.
Got blocked by somebody today because I (apparently controversially) claimed that Ross Perot ran for president in 1992
"Ross Perot didn't run for office in 1992"? Are you sure about that? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Un...
Sure, that's agreeable. But suppose you could see a parallel universe where Ross Perot never ran for POTUS, and in 1992, George H.W. Bush was re-elected instead of losing to Bill Clinton. What word or phrase would you use to describe the effect Ross Perot had in this reality compared to that one?
Whether you believe they're "owed votes" is up to you, but that's what the phrase "spoiler candidate" means, yeah
That's not what "spoiler candidate" means, it doesn't mean winning votes from the other side of the political spectrum. It's specifically a quality of FPTP ballots (and other non-ranked ballot forms) that happens when three or more candidates are running: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler...
Is he supporting Musk's party, or is he egging on Republicans to Ross Perot themselves into a landslide loss next election cycle? (I agree all billionaires are bad, fwiw)

We've basically reached the "it's not corruption unless it comes from the Pot-de-Vin region of France" stage, huh

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.
Exactly what I mean. Blue states run by Democrats are the ones safe for trans people and immigrants, but "both sides are the same" people are willfully ignoring that. Because having moral superiority on the Internet is a lot easier than actually standing for something.
"Both parties are the same" implies "Democrats protecting minorities is the same as Republicans dehumanizing them" which is just a roundabout way of not caring about minorities
As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.
So many have not learned them at all.
It's OK to be scared. Your bravery and honesty are admirable, so please never give up.
BALATRO!

Ancient Greeks thought seahorses were the original animal and Poseidon turned them into land horses so Athens would name their city after him (he lost to Athena who gave them the olive tree)

I can't singlehandedly fix the world and all the injustices therein. But I can singlehandedly make it slightly kinder, and that's pretty much the only thing keeping me going sometimes
ME: I'm not good at Chess, do you do Golf with a Gator over the fate of my soul? THE GRIM REAPER: idk man I don't think that's how it works
My mental health is holding on by a thread and that thread is the guy who makes the Quest 64 memes
My take isn't worth more than anyone else's. But it ultimately came down to 15m Biden voters not showing up for Harris, and it's not 100% clear why that is yet. Inflation? Misogyny? Gaza? Some near-equal combination of those? We need more information before jumping to any conclusions.
I have three kids. I have nightmares daily about climate collapse and I fear that I've made a mistake bringing them into this world. You're not alone 😢
Big story ten years ago was about this guy who made 100k Euros by using bots to farm equipment in Diablo 3 and selling it at the auction house. I don't have any reason to think the same thing wouldn't be possible in Diablo 4
Are there any operas based on Lord of the Rings?
