Polling shows something like a +15 seat majority for Dems. They are rigging it because they know with that big a majority, they have no chance of ever getting their issues passed.
A +2 majority can be toyed with, just convince a couple members. Can’t say the same about 15
spot of unpleasantness
Ok, lol.
Most people identify with gendered language & a binary gender. Like nearly everyone. So when discussing market appeal, it makes sense to discuss it in a gendered way.
Not every game, not all the time. But for a clearly femme coded game in makes sense to optimize towards you target audience
“From Alaska to California”
So like… Alaska & California.
Maybe Oregon and Washington if we are being generous.
MAGA & GOP view themselves as the pro-military party, which is really important because it means veterans often vote for them. The reality is MAGA & GOP is happy to vote for more military spending of the variety that puts money into the military industrial complex. They are way less willing to spend it in ways that benefit actual veterans.
I’m against war & the military and do not think highly of those that join. That said they are, technically, a public servant. And public servants should be granted public resources such as housing & healthcare & food. So yes, ‘especially veterans’, should get housing.
But also yes, everyone should.
logistically unenforceable
So true, no other country has radically reduced the rates of gun ownership & gun crimes & gun injuries via those stinky unenforceable ‘laws’ or whatever.
I also support the other stuff you suggested (unlike maga) but I won’t live in your fantasy world.
I’m convinced (and would place money on) the mechanism for LLMS to start self propagating and maliciously wreck all internet connected devices (read: Our entire society) is via companies trying to offload compute via something very similar to federated learning.
Just put a teeny model on everyone’s device and let it adapt to the user needs and oops skynet
I get that your argument is basically “You don’t realize how many people 8 billion people is”. My argument is “You don’t realize how big the mississippi is”.
Bringing up 20ft implies you are including the headwaters which is not my argument. I’m referring to downstream.
Even if in theory you managed to dam it - the Mississippi is so large and fast moving it would EASILY find another route. Like there would not be a “bay of Mississippi” or whatever.
At the end of the day tarot card reading is a form of a scam. You are promising a product that does not exist thus it is a counterfeit product scam.
It doesn’t have the same “everyone knows this is fake” thing that magicians get away with, many people believe tarot reading is real and the readers go out of their way to convince you it is real. So if you want to know how to get better at scaming people, idk, go talk to scammers that will train you and try not to get scammed yourself along the way.
If you actually believed you had some mystical foresight, you wouldn’t be here asking anyways…
I’m not spazzy enough to force others onto whichever platform I have deemed to be superior.
So I use whatever other people are using, which is normally discord or telegram. In the past I used Team Speak and Messenger for a while. I just rotate through profiles and practice other forms of digital hygiene
I swear this is just an online meme and people are larping about it being a genuine fear.
The Jungle was a book about the meat packing industry in 1906. It detailed horrific treatment of the animals and disgusting unsanitary treatment of the meat products.
It led to public outrage and caused the Meat Inspection Act to be passed in the same year. That Act laid the foundation for modern health inspections in food facilities.
Rules of thumb are 4% for 30 years or 3.5% forever
This adjusts it for inflation.
I wouldn’t choose to not work until I had a brokerage in the range of $4 Million. I could live on much less but I wouldn’t CHOOSE to not work.
If I had $2 Mil, I could live a modest lifestyle happily forever. Or… I could just work some chill job I don’t care much about and live a non-modest lifestyle. There are millions of low-stress jobs in the $40-60k range. 4% rule says $2Mil ~= $80k/year (don’t @ me with nuances). I would be much happier on $120k with a chill job than $80k with no job.
But at $4 Mil -> $160k I would prefer to just travel and have my time back.
The details would need to be adjusted if we assume a paid off house or not.

You comparing the mississippi to a lazy river is showing your ignorance lmao
Every person on earth could jump in the mississippi and it would flow anyways.
Standing in the Mississippi won’t dam it
There are many that don’t know it’s theft, and others will argue with you that it isn’t even theft to begin with once informed. So yeah this sign probably does stop some theft.
