world is static

now that's something I haven't thought about in an exceptionally long time

They’re all traitors in their own way, and I’m white non-Hispanic so it feels like I’m not the best person to be making the point, but this feels like such a specific betrayal.

I think about this song every time I hear about Latino ICE agents in the news.

The absence of data is itself a form of data.

And to be clear it is indeed tl and you probably should dr it.

tl;dr

- aliens are also created in God's image so they'd look just like us
- Jesus came here to die for every planet's sins because only the Jews would kill their own savior I guess
- all the other planets know about us because we're the planet where that happened

Mormonism has actually thought this one through pretty extensively.

also "folks on the ground" do you think will stancil lives on the cloud because you only know him from poasts

"How dare you try to radicalize people?"

- a "radical"

You do realize that East Palestine is a city in Ohio, right? And that a hazardous materials train derailment causing "potentially 7 or more" deaths, while awful, is neither ethnic cleansing nor genocide?

My aggressively liberal (positive) manager used it in an email a few months ago and my brain just refused to accept that that was a real thing that she'd actually done.

As I understand it, A220 manufacture is still located in Canada, so I'm not sure whether it would be affected by Trump's pronouncement, but I've also already spent more time thinking this through than he did, so who the fuck knows.

They quit making commercial aircraft a few years ago. Of their three major product lines:

CRJ - out of production but still in widespread use

A220 - taken over by Airbus (formerly a partnership)

Dash 8 - sold to a new company; out of production until they can get facilities set up

Embraer ERJs are an older model that's not widely used anymore. Its follow-up is the E175, which *is* the dominant regional jet in the US - but as noted elsewhere, Embraer is Brazilian, not Canadian. The company you're probably thinking of is Bombardier, which was Embraer's biggest competitor.

The thing is, I don't particularly like Schumer. I think he's probably a worse leader than most of his plausible alternatives would be. But this kind of shallow cynicism doesn't help people understand how to fix the Senate, it just makes people more inclined to tune out.

On the plus side, it's nice to know that this doesn't feel true when I don't get angry at or nasty with the other party.

Still probably shouldn't get in arguments at all, but if I can keep myself both internally and externally pleasant, that counts as a win.

Not surprised that I got blocked, I never disagree with a stranger without preemptively accepting a block, but I *am* still struggling to figure out whether this particular stranger was arguing in good faith. Signs point in both directions.

Ah well. It's over now, so I don't need an answer anymore.

If my first impression is a common one - and, for what it's worth, it seems to have been the first impression of most people in this thread - then regardless of the authors' intent, the *impact* is to reinforce the idea that elected Democrats are not to be trusted.

That's what this whole conversation is, isn't it? I agree that it's possible to read it the way you're asking me to, but it's not my first instinct to read it that way, and most people don't have a multi-post discourse to guide their interpretation. Their first impression is their only impression.

But the problem is that - at least if you read it the way I read it - it's not making fun of the anxiety, it's encouraging it.

No, but it was an editorial choice to post this specific years-old article today.
