I’m no English major, but I’m pretty sure @[email protected] calling it weird is a rhetorical device known as sarcasm.

That being said, you also don’t know where the bottom will be, so slowly buying into a falling market should let you get a good amount of buys in close to the bottom.

Thankfully, Elon has shown that whatever Trump mystique there is won’t magically transfer to someone else just because they’re associated with him.

Dude, I held my nose and voted blue no matter who, they didn’t uphold their end of the deal by actually putting forward policy ideas that might help people so here we are.

Most democratic voters I know don’t actually like the democratic party, they just hate Republicans more.

No, the Democratic leadership is ineffective at best, complicit at worst. They need to go so we have an actual opposition party. They’re not going to do anything but save their own asses.

10 democrats voted with Republicans to censure one of their own. They need to clean house before they can actually mount any opposition.

Blue no matter who was kicking the can down the road to buy some time, but was never a real solution. They weren’t even able to Garner enough popular support so now we’re in this mess.

Time to put people in who are as passionate about protecting the constitution as the current party leadership is about crushing populist candidates.

What do you think “America” is? Its a societal mindset and ideology which are held by various subsets of the population. Ultimately, we can’t rely on half the country to do shit if we want to enact change, they need to be dragged kicking and screaming into a free society with a strong middle class. Its not enough that we can convince them to join because egg prices are high, or their pet government project was cut because we’re just going to end up back in the same place in 10-15 years when they forget. We need durable change enacted by principled leaders who we need to raise into seats of power and continue to hold accountable.

It also isn’t one man. Its a large swath of people afraid of perceived change, along with opportunists who want to be the future king’s puppeteers that are happily playing into old prejudicial narratives to drum up support. He’s not some mastermind who can do this without think tanks to come up with concrete plans like project 2025. Remember, he got 77 million votes. That’s not a radical subset, and we can’t plead ignorance or assumed he would have fallen into line once elected, we already had 4 years of this dictator wannabe.

I don’t think we should be petty, I think we should be very specific in our critiques and what is and is not acceptable in a free society. You’re allowed to be an asshole, you’re allowed to not like mexican food, you can even support stronger border controls, be against federally backed student loans or think USAID should be defunded or be opposed to abortion. You can’t be willing to throw out the entire system of government in order to achieve those goals and have me willing to consider you a fellow American. The basic rules of engagement need to be something that is held sacred and it needs to be built around the empowerment of individuals with strong controls against undue influence.

Someone with a billion dollars should not have a louder voice than a collection of tens of millions of US citizens with a combined net worth of 1 billion dollars. Neither party’s leadership believes our country should run on these fundamentals, so who else is going to fight for this?

We do not stand together, a subset of the population is standing in support for a free and equal society, while others are just trying to get one up on their neighbors and yet more are just standing around willfully ignorant to this conflict with their fingers in their ears afraid of being uncomfortable until they are eventually forced to care.

As someone in the US living in a very progressive district, the general vibe of Democratic voters is what we should have gotten 8 years ago and even now I still get people saying we need to be more moderate and reach across the aisle.

There is nothing for us across the aisle. Without a fundamental rework of the minority party we just end up back here 10-15 years later because fundamental issues aren’t solved and miserable people are easier to sell racist exploitative policies too. If you are comfortable and secure you’re more likely to support helping others without worrying about it putting you on the streets.

I held my nose and voted blue no matter who, but there needs to be some consequences to supporting genocide. If Democratic leaders are going to hide behind bureaucracy then we need to go around it or we’re on the hook for whatever human rights abuses are done in our name.

Avacado prices REALLY depend on where you live and what season. If you’re in most of California, its a lot easier to get cheap avacados that are also high quality.

I’m all for dunking on elon, but you really shouldn’t have put any of the children’s pictures and especially not names in there and left them all as shadows.

Its not like they’re terrible and you need to power through, the early chapters go through arcs pretty quickly, and other than syrup village I don’t think any are really bad, just not quite the peak that justifies reading 1000+ chapters, but if you don’t think by the end of the first 50 or so chapters there’s anything to offer, and aren’t loving it by 100 then its probably not for you.

Like Baratie has some pretty epic battles, really great character moments in orange town, and Arlong Park is when it really hits its stride.

I like to say, if you don’t like the East Blue Saga, its probably not for you, but you kind of need to power through some of the earlier arcs as the author establishes the world and tone. If you don’t like it because Syrup Village is kind of a mess, you could easily miss out on a great series.

If watching 100hrs implies you enjoy it, then of course if you watch enough of it you will eventually enjoy it. You’re just not big brained enough to understand media literacy.

I have a roll of coins in my pocket, but I’m happy to see you so I can give you these coins. I also have a massive erection.

Erections are no joke. You could poke an eye out with one of those.

It’s because the cloth shrinks in the wash more than the zipper so in order to fit the longer zipper in the smaller cloth it needs to bulge out.

The D clan never left, they simply went into hiding until they were needed to usher in the new dawn.

Nice fantasy name generator you got there.

Novil the scholar approves while Junch the barbarian is wondering what those silly squiggles are.

Be very careful wheb defederating

Do you really want to merge with Quebec?

Of all the single issue protest votes, I at least respect where the anti genocide bloc is coming from even if I did think their reasoning makes no sense.

At least they’re not like the single issue abortion voters who want to make sure that the only way to end a pregnancy viable or otherwise is to kill the mother.
