Yeah as a reward for donating to our party we are going to text you relentlessly for the next decade and there’s nothing you can do to make it stop. That’s a winning strategy surely

A/B testing to maximize revenue spends trust for the future on returns today.

Given how widespread it is, I bet it works, but I file it under “elected dems should really treat their base with more respect”

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

To be fair all posts are annoying

"I am anti-genocide, I am anti the actions of the Israeli government ... I am anti an extermination of an entire people, I am anti the bombing of innocent children, men, women."

I have one that I really like but it's slightly too small for my comically large head, and I end up with a headache if I wear it for too long 😭

Blackthorne: You tell him that the prevalence of administrative burdens is simply too high!! It benefits no one, the paperwork, the redeterminations, it's the very government inefficiency you claim to despise!!

Mariko: The Ajin is displeased about the GOP medicaid plan.

Example number infinity that America just can't function without a working legislature, and the fact that our legislature doesn't work is just making everything else worse

I would never

Deleted post, what was it?

But you also get some people who basically reject... Well, all of modernity it seems

People who don't even accept the validity of the scientific method, who reject germ theory, and so much else

I have friends who are research scientists who are also into astrology and witchcraft or other similar beliefs

But you better bet they vaccinate their children and check peer-reviewed sources

There's something kind of beautiful about that kind of syncretism

I think it's a matter of degrees

A huge number of people can hold oddball spiritual beliefs without rejecting modernity wholesale

But then I recall a group of new age moms I overheard during the pandemic talking about hosting a covid party to infect their children instead of vaccinating

It's kind of giving Legolas only saying one line to Frodo in the entire film trilogy energy (And my bow!)

Oh please yes

I've already called her office multiple times asking her to primary senator Schumer and offering to provide as much of my time and money to help the effort as I can

Because the younger part of your generation is not very good!

I feel like between Xillenial, Zillenial, and Millennial, it was really more like one giant generation - because older Gen X and younger Gen Z are... They're not okay!

See, this is why we need people like her. We need people who have faith and democracy and this kind of boundless enthusiasm even in the face of adversity. We are a greater country for her being here.

I haven't had the opportunity to travel to the Pacific Northwest yet, and every single time I see a picture like this, that pains me!

It looks beautiful, and I'm looking forward to seeing it myself one day.

Yeah but I want to make the cons an endangered species in elected office

Beautiful. Pacific Northwest?

*changes sign*

Tinsel the calico glares at you with a furrowed brow

“I asked chatGPT-“ ok, and I asked Tinsel, and she said you’re an uninspired, vapid dork who needs a computer to think for them.

Fuckin resign man. That’s so clearly the only path here.

He worked so hard for that filth, and you just take it away

I mean hell just the fact that we grew a plant in alien soil, even if only briefly, seems like something historic and profound!

Absolutely. America should remake itself into the engine of human intellectual potential, poor as much of our fast wealth into that singular goal as we can!

I'm assuming it was done in soil brought from Earth rather than in lunar regolith though, correct?

That's amazing! I know we've done similar on the space station, but seeing it done on another terrestrial body is still an important breakthrough.
