Fuck ‘em. They act as if once you vote for a particular party, that’s it - you’re locked solidly into the particular party ideology for life and nothing they’ll do will ever make you change your vote.

I’ll admit it’s giving me severe pause on whether I’ll ever vote for a Dem again. Yeah, he’s not a ‘traditional’ politician, but I’m thinking by the results he’s getting (Economy hot, trade deals being negotiated, NK announcing Friday they wanted to denuclearize by the end of 2020, which may be bullshit but... wow...)…

Which is why we have the electoral college. There’s 51 separate elections for President, not just one. This is so California and New York and Florida can’t decide for the rest of the country - the other states have a say also. Hell, my son lives in a state that has fewer residents than the county I live in here in the…

Five are geriatric. Warren, Biden, Bernie, Kerry and Hillary. I think Bernie’s out of the picture, with him shoving forward a Socialist model that has collapsed in Venezuela. Kerry - can’t see it - he’ll be 76. Campaigning’s tough - I doubt any of the rest are going to try it.

It does, according to the agent I talked to when I was wondering where the PreChek number was. HOWEVER, she was kind enough to put it in for me before the flight, and it was on the boarding pass on my phone app.

Why would you trust airport wifi in the first place?  Maybe I just have trust issues, but there’s no way I’d use public access wifi for something at all sensitive.

Does your ship have an intermittent clank in atmosphere while going about 130-190?

Got a friend who’s the same way. She’s got large feet, and can buy much better footware on Amazon than locally. (She used to get her shoes at a place catering to crossdressers, but now she’s complaining it’s hard to find anything nice there...)

It’s a ‘Look at us, we’re so woke’ article.  And they wrote themselves an indulgence so they can continue pushing Amazon to get the commissions while hating on Amazon itself...

I can’t.  I don’t have one... which means I’d have to subscribe, and I’m not going to do that...

No, they wrote themselves an indulgence so they can continue sinning as long as they condemn the evil of Amazon.

They can do that, because they’re ‘the good people’ and they really need the money they get from Amazon Commissions to keep the site up... so they can tell us just how shitty we are for buying from Amazon.

Makes you wish you could buy dispensations or indulgences for the Sin of Buying At Amazon, doesn’t it?

But you’re not supposed to use Walmart or Costco either (though Costco’s marginally better issues-wise) because reasons...

That’s the problem I have. The things I need/want aren’t available without driving quite a ways - and even then a lot of times the articles are more expensive... if they’re even in the store in the first place.

I long ago figured the most political from Gawker got kept - while those who weren’t so ideological found niches elsewhere.  (Tyler Rogoway’s an example of that.)

Nope, it’s a blatant political push to cut Amazon because they’re ‘haters’ because they haven’t signed onto the usual virtue signalling. When politics is the be-all and end-all of your existence, it’s tiresome to those who don’t make it the central issue.

Why the fuck is the thing tailgating? Or is it a consequence of the perspective of the camera?

Are they bringing back Sparrow Racing permanently?

Or that there aren’t other semi-sentient droids going around working feverishly to keep the infrastructure viable.
