I think of conservatism as behaving kind of like an immune system. People who are conservative tend to be overly concerned with things like purity and group cohesion, and react negatively to anything unfamiliar unless you hold their hand and show them it’s ok. Sometimes this is a good thing for a society at large -helps maintain vigilance against external threats- but other times you get full-blown immune disorders, where the immune system can no longer distinguish an appropriate response from an excessive one, or a dangerous agent from a benign one, or starts to attack its own body.

What?

I only recently pulled it off in my 30s, after I got tired of fretting about my teeth from getting my caffeine largely from diet soda. I’ve taken up black tea as well. The bitterness comes to be a pleasant sting, like the acidity of soda, which by contrast seems to taste more like acid to me all the time.

“If you’ve smoked weed in the last 5 years or have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I’m afraid I can’t sell this to you.”

The German communists went in the oven because the German liberals betrayed their country, empowering nazis to secure their own positions. The idea that ‘the nazis using communists as an excuse to do a fascism is the communists fault’ is 80 year old fascist propaganda.

“Oh my god he’s not going to drink that shit water is he?”

It would probably be wiser to focus on healthcare access and nutrition than to make extremely expensive and already large pieces of equipment triple size as standard when alternatives already exist.

Another conservative gave up their seat to prevent us being free of Poilievre.

Probably hundreds or thousands of times this image has been posted by supporters of the literal fascists picking apart the United States, mocking others for overreacting over the last months and years. The thing has happened, how do you think you have a point?

Netflix does the same thing with “supported browsers.” It doesn’t matter if it’s actually supported, just whether it’s one of the two or three it allows because it can do analytics or whatever with them.

I read the article and can’t find any mention of how he died, which also tends to make me think it was negligence.

If it was something that could be spun as his fault or responsibility all the LEO would be broadcasting it as loud as possible.

Biden is the only president in the last 50 years or something to win the election if “didn’t vote” was a person.

Any day now they’ll dip low enough and Schumer’s gonna GET 'IM. He’s got a plan!

Well, Statians, but pronounced the same as stations.

This is so often overlooked. A 3rd party could win EVERY SINGLE AVAILABLE SEAT in a presidential election year and they would still only control the executive - Congress and the judiciary would still have a supermajority of not-thems, and you couldn’t change that in one term, or even two. Not to mention every governor, state legislature, county board…

There’s a good chance that the free buffet won’t last forever. They want to get their tendrils as deep as they can when the door is wide open.

Say -fuck with a hyphen at the beginning so that it doesnt search for it.

You had the option of not voting and letting more informed people decide, at a bare minimum.

Delusional

If there is no difference on the only issue you allegedly care about, then why the hell did you vote for the monster??
