Just this guy. Computer nerd for work. 3D printing. Making cheese and pickles (not at the same time). Sci-fi. Anime. US-based. DMing me out of the blue to ask for money (wth?) will likely result in blocking instead of a reply, let alone money.

Although I'm not supposed to indulge (carbs are, apparently, actively trying to kill me) I think I have to track this down, just to try it..

Sounds amazing!

Maybe if it's a "me or them" deal that I didn't deliberately put myself into.

But I guess that's not really hunting then, is it?

Kinda fell out of love with South Park around S7 or so. Just seemed gratuitous for the sake of being gratuitous instead of speaking loudly about something in particular.

Glad to see them (imo) back!

How would ending trauma end stupidity?

Trauma might suck but doesn't it also teach, if we make an attempt to learn from the past?

@merriam-webster.com, your help is needed!

Maybe not in bulk but a few, choice ones.

Careful, science! That's a good way to get defunded and deported..

If this is such a non-thing, why would they need the VP to host a strategy meeting over it?

Do the people at that really have nothing better to do?

...and gives huge advantages to foreign companies. If we fall behind, it will be very, very hard to catch back up.

Of all the screwed up things they're doing, the amount of tech lead they're just totally abandoning may be the one that confuses me the most.

How is anyone actually "floored" by this?

My reaction is 100% "no shit."

It's basically just a stop sign. Stop. Then, when it's safe to go, go.

Why do people have such a hard time with this?

Totally understand but if the only thing not-maga has to offer maga is threats of retribution, those wondering if they should leave maga don't have a lot of incentive.

For the leaders, I'd be totally ok with stripping them of US citizenship and sending them to El Salvador after the trials. 100%.

Damned right, but until then we must also allow paths for people to come back to sanity.

A stick is fine, even one with maybe a few nails in it, but it can't be all sticks.

Make sure to look up and browse the Confederate constitution all, before talking to magas who want to argue that the US civil war wasn't about slavery.

I see MSNBC as clearly being to the left but not outright making things up.

TBH, "leaning left" or even more than leaning, at this point, in this timeline, gets a fair amount of slack from me right now.

The Confederate constitution is pretty easy to find online, and is a great thing to whip out when people try to argue that the Civil War wasn't about slavery...

So it really quick to reach a deal with her, then 2 days of coaching and recording to establish "proof" that it's all legit..
