You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

Always has.

It’s not that they cut any in particular, they just only included the Bill of Rights, which isn’t uncommon when pairing them with the Constitution. Not defending them, still a grift going on here, but that particular detail isn’t as nefarious as some people want to think. At least, not on its own.

No, that’s the point of a dog whistle. Those in the know understand, and they don’t want outsiders to notice. One of the best ways to combat these people is to let everyone in on their “secret” codes, so we can see exactly who is putting their hat in with the Nazis.

The Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal. The first book is called The Calculating Stars. Basically, an alternate history where (spoiler for the opening chapter) ::: spoiler spoiler a meteor wipes out the east coast and kick-starts climate change, causing the Space Age to start 10 years early. ::: It follows a Jewish computer (a woman who literally runs calculations for NASA, as seen in Hidden Figures) who wants to become an astronaut, and her struggles with the racism and misogyny of the 1950s.

I remember in 2015 there were images circulating after a debate claiming Hillary Clinton was wearing an earpiece, despite the pictures used as proof clearly being from a different event.

It’s because it was from Davis. He interrupted her constantly, including times when she was about to tell him it was his turn to talk. He didn’t interrupt Muir almost at all.

I’ll leave the reason why he interrupted one and not the other as an exercise for the reader.

No, he was saying that she “put out a statement” about her racial identity.

He dodged every question and shoehorned in “the border” for all of them.

Here’s the thing: you’re not wrong on what each side seems to have as priorities. It’s just absurd that anyone should think there’s any kind of equivalence between them.

Every one of those companies would probably be doing better without his involvement, so that might be a positive for them…

I guess you could say it was…whale done.

Who didn’t have an election?

I suppose I shouldn’t be looking for meaning in anything he says.

Probably not an issue with the bot itself, but just FYI, it appears the spoiler tags don’t work on Boost.

Confirmed as intentional? More like he’s such a narcissist that when someone pointed out that he’d misspelled it, he doubled down.

There’s no argument on whether exercise is good for you, it unequivocally is. Exactly how much you really need, and what kinds, and what specific benefits it has are somewhat debated, but the mere fact of it being beneficial is not in question.

Every president sits judges, yes, but they specifically delayed and obstructed to prevent Obama from seating as many as possible, so that when Trump came in they could pack as many sympathizers in as possible

Copyright absolutely is still a thing, the network is just under the radar at the moment and the people who could be suing over it don’t have visibility on usage of their stuff. But, make no mistake, if it ever gets big enough to get noticed, those people and corporations will absolutely sue.

No, you’re voting to move in the right direction.

Voting is like taking the bus, you get on the one going the direction you want. And then, you get on another bus that continues to take you towards your destination.

You don’t get on a bus going the opposite direction, or refuse to go at all unless there’s a bus going from your front door direct to your destination. That’s just stupidity. That’s what you’re advocating for, and we’re never going to get to a better place if people like you don’t wake up and see that.

Except, by refusing to participate, you are. That’s how our system works. It’s stupid, but that’s how it works.
