how about the vinegar-soaked hankie for helping with breathing where tear gas is present? That one also incorrect?

oh that one I knew, I just thought South Korea had a dimmer view of the old dictatorship...

I prefer Mills because I'm wary that Platner's going to have some skeleton or other, aside from the whole "worked for Blackwater" thing.

I'm pre-emptively weary of this contest being yet another stand-in for being yelled at by holier-than-thou leftists though.

wait new President Park was the daughter of a dictator?

Jesus.

not jazzed about the "get tear gassed" part. But I'm going to bring some LAW

That's gradually what they'll come to, why bother going to congress at all, just rule by fiat.

Loooot of right-wing political campaigns had their plans upset by Trump's win. Sears bet on drafting on Youngkin's popularity (itself entirely due to the fact that he had divided government and couldn't do much).

they're all too old for Pastor Alex

Saturday, damn.

A thoughtful tactic if you run into any uniformed feds at No Kings this Friday: mock them for the fact that they're doing this without pay. If I were on the other end I'd be furious over that fact.

what inertia within politics means is it will take a while for the S. Korean left to learn that Kim likes Trump and the People's Party more than he likes them now.

as sorry as it sounds to say it, the project of saving democracy is the project of saving the center right from the far right, because the alternative is "center left wins everything forever" and you can tell on its face that that's a farce.

It's not really horror, it's weird sci fi with analog horror aesthetic.

To its benefit that it gets you to "President James Dean" and you don't just snort and click out of the video though.

I'd say this is a case of people who aren't tech savvy getting taken in but even extremely savvy people are so idk. There has to be some theory-of-mind blindspot for people who really believe in these things.

Not just the US either, the hollowing of the center right in exchange for the far right is happening in so many places.

Uchuu Senkan Eisenhower

It is just a beautifully ham movie that opens the door to endless sequels set around the world. Feels like a popcorn blockbuster from the 90s or early oughts in the best way.

It's more that the GOP caucus is ungovernable and incapable of governing except when they're ceding all authority to the executive branch.

Johnson was really just the only one left who wanted the job when the party was sick of looking. He's kind of unique in terms of recent speakers who usually do climb the ranks in a manner similar to parliamentary systems.

I read that statement as Bessent saying that the protest is the reason they're not reopening the government which comes off as equally pathetic.

when I'm there for the cause that doesn't matter but when I'm just looking to expand my social group...

It's a double-edged sword because I'll go out and say "I want to meet some Democrats to know some like-minded people in real life" and then everyone there is my mom.

Christianity but for the Ravening Blonde Beasts.

also easy to mix up the antidote for tear gas/pepper spray (or something that eases the eye damage), it's just a mixture of liquid antacid and water.

ooh got a nice salient going.

Wouldn't be surprised if this type resents the era of shareholder supremacy because it doesn't give them *enough* authority. We (via retirement funds) give them all this money and then expect them to act like responsible stakeholders? The nerve.

the original "hire fans lol" meme with Aloy from Horizon: Forbidden West portrayed as she is in-game and as an airbrushed supermodel by the alleged fans.

It goes back to something milder but in the same spirit:

Both he and Musk have fried themselves completely on club drugs and are far too egotistical and surrounded by sycophants to even be self aware of it. I have friends who followed this exact arc and none were rich by their mid 20s so they all are dead or live their parents.

of course the answer of "just go meet people IRL" solves for this problem much easier for dating than it does for employment.

I could see it doing for online dating what it's already done to job hunting since those two are so similar already: makes the problem a lot worse for (generally) women and forces them to adopt AI to parse the swamp of messages sent by AI-powered suitors, leading to worse results for everyone.
