They always argue that they in fact are correct for... reasons, but they sure find out real quick that the guys with badges, guns and prisons are the ones with the final say regardless of their interpretations of the law.

I have the opposite reaction where going down one of these rabbit holes makes me realize that we’re just one large meteorite away from cleansing this universe of the stupidity and uselessness of humanity. Existential dread all the way down.

Reminds me of some family members who tell me that they have to “question everything” and “don’t trust authority” despite being evangelical christians their entire lives, starting when they were indoctrinated as children.

i.e.: “Lemme just make up a ton of absolute bullshit that you don’t have the time to parse through and debunk individually without pulling your own hair out at the absurdity, and some of it will stick in the simple minded.”

I’d argue that most college educated folks lack the depth of education to truly challenge the technical or science-based discussion he has. It requires both a proper education and an interest in lifelong learning to get to a point of reasonable intelligence. Unfortunately most people stop trying to learn when they…

I’d still only listen if the engine stayed on when it crashed in and you could hear them being sucked through the turbine blades and pureed into fine mush, then toasted through the exhaust into a fine powder that coated the microphones to end the podcast. Fin.

This type of human will sacrifice every single aspect of the future if they can earn $0.25 today.

In this case yes, as it looks like half the population of the US is trying to snap themselves out of obstinate existence.

What makes you think he wasn’t trying to, or was late specifically because he was actively spitting in a female employees face?

From what I can tell she’s just straight-forward, but since she’s a woman, that means rude, apparently.

Then she’s lying and was likely never a D voter. It’s all performative for these people, and always projection.

Unfortunately all of Texas is an inflamed boil upon the buttocks of Texas.

This reeks of grandstanding in an attempt to appear to be politically correct rather than an actual attempt to be....

Paging the ACLU. There should be lawsuits like, yesterday.

Wait, you mean they got what they voted for when they voted against their own self-interests? I’m shocked, shocked I say.

Progressed? Do you remember back when gaming companies actually QA tested their software before releasing it out into the wild instead of using paying consumers as QC/Beta Testers?

Yeah unless Dems find a younger, solid, currently “unknown/non-spotlight” candidate to field there’s not much chance in ‘24. I just can’t see Kamala winning being female and a POC as this country just sucks too much to look past that, and that’s outside of the politics, history with law enforcement and campaigning.…
