lol you're only seeing this because you're digging for dirt on me, aren't you?
(More, I meant they'd be happy to, but they have other priorities. Stumbled at the end of wording my point a little but I think my meaning was understood, at least!)
You.. well, rank your choices. Your vote still only counts as one vote, but if your first pick loses, your vote goes to your second pick, then your third, etc. It won't magically create good candidates, but it WILL actually grant victory to whoever has the most support. You'd still get your fear vote, it'd just be a backup, instead of the way it CURRENTLY works, which is: YOU HAVE TO GUARANTEE THAT WE NEVER HAVE A GOOD OPTION SO WE CAN RALLY AROUND THE AWFUL ONE SO WE CAN AVOID CATASTROPHIC ONE!
Well, taken pure like a religion, Socialism would be as shitty as pure religious Capitalism, just different. What you SHOULD do is take it as a potential strategy. A national safety net for housing/healthcare/education? Those things should ABSOLUTELY be run in a socialist way, which doesn't just mean "tax-funded", it means PUBLICLY OWNED, as in it's part of the government and we elect the people who run it, not some they-don't-even-hide-it-any-more return on investment for their campaign donors.
(what they REALLY want*)
If they just wanted to glass the desert, they could and would. I don't doubt that our shit could do that and I don't doubt that those in power are monstrous enough to WANT to do it. What they WANT is the ForeverWar™.
With how powerful our shit is, I have to assume that the ForeverWar™ isn't about getting a cost effective result(or even an expensive result), it's about "Oh shoot oh darn oh wow look at that, wE rAn OuT oF mIsSiLeS, I guess we have to give Raytheon another $10,000,000,000!"
(By abstract I dont mean actual abstract art as the result, I just mean in the way you're approaching it, like trying to force yourself to disregard the meaning of letters so you can see them just as shapes)
Nothing desexualizes nudity like figure drawing. It wouldn't matter if it was all of my favorite pornstars posing with my girlfriend, intensely studying something so you can recreate it.. like, there's objectifying someone in the sense that you see them as a sex object. Figure drawing is about objectifying someone to the point of seeing them as an abstract form, not even an entity, really. If someone can stay horny through that, I'm fucking terrified of them.
It neuters the fear vote, which is the primary mechanism by which the Ds AND Rs have stayed in power. It'd also completely remove any justification to only have one candidate run from each party, if people INSIST on staying. It's not possible to bleed votes in a ranked choice system, they can't blame anyone but themselves for their shittiness.Of course, that's precisely why the parties will fight it till their last breaths.
Yupyup. Ranked Choice all the way! It won't solve all our problems, it won't magically cause decent politicians to suddenly start existing. It WILL, however, give them an actual chance at winning, should one ever grace us with their presence.
Sometimes you gotta fixate on some weird little cute thing. Bitches love weird little cute things. Every time I have ever told my girlfriend I liked her butt, she has wiggled it for me. (haHA, it was I who was the Bitches, all along!)
I don't fuck with them or send them to voicemail or anything. If I don't recognize the number, I just quiet the ringer and let it ring, silently.
Roe v Wade was never important in the "it should be protected" sense, it was important in the "you should campaign on it" sense, and then whatever man it's not a priority forget about it already jesus
I assume because having horns either made or happened to coincide with their ancestors being at least slightly more likely to reproduce before dying.
Right so its everyones fault BUT theirs. Got it, smart guy.
Sure but it's COOL
At my work, one of my bosses speaks 3 languages, and the other speaks 4-5 (they're from Brazil, and one of them was a flight attendant early in her life)I'm so envious. Alas, I am also so lazy.
I'd take shitty state-funded healthcare over shitty state-mandated(but you still pay for it) healthcare.It's like people were bickering over "socialist" vs "capitalist" healthcare so much that they got confused and instead, designed a system with the downsides of both, but the perks of neither.
What, was it because I forgot to end my sentence with punctuation?
Lol imagine reading that absolute madness, but fixating on a typo
Hey now its their fault too, you cretin
So everything is your fault because you live on this planet?
learn to say ALMOST anything.
If you don't know, you can always just say so, or better yet, not even respond at all.
But thats not pi, it's just 3.14
So, everyone's at fault for everything because we all share a space rock? Useful take.
I mean i DON'T fele pride OR shame for my country. I certainly approve and disapprove of many aspects of it(seems more often to be disapprove), but I've been here for fewer than 40 years, and I've pretty much just been hanging out, making art, and more recently, working with dogs.If we're all supposed to feel pride and shame in our countries, why stop there? Why shouldn't we all feel pride or shame in our WORLD? Why hide behind national borders?
Holy shit my old roommate and I 100% had one of those exact model couches. Same color, same cup holders, same cubby.
They felt an impetus to fight it, that's not the same thing as considering oneself responsible for it. Now, maybe SOME of them DID serve the Nazis and then fought against them because they felt they were responsible for their enemy, but that's not even SLIGHTLY the same thing as just living within the same national borders.Would you claim that the operatives of the underground railroad were responsible for the institution of American slavery?
If it doesn't matter how they vote, they're all still responsible, why does it matter if they're eligible to vote?
