Exactly! They’re putting in the work there and getting some fantastic things done. Lots of other great stuff on that ballot too.

Shoulda happened four years ago

And I’d add - get active the other 364 days of the year.

If we want better options we first need ranked choice voting and we need to get money out of politics. And none of that is going to happen if our only political action each year is voting.

I think that’s weird, I never had nausea any worse with Skyrim VR than any other game. I just get a mild discomfort with everything that kind of goes away now, kind of like being in the car too long.

If you’re adventurous try some pickled onions on that thar grilled cheese and then come back and thank me later

History would at least indicate that it’s an ornithologist thing.

Here’s the thing. You said a “dove is a pigeon.”

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies pigeons, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls pigeons doves. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.

If you’re saying “pigeon family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Columbidae, which includes things from pigeons to doves to pigeons.

So your reasoning for calling a pigeons a dove is because random people “call the white ones doves?” Let’s get gulls and pelicans in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A dove is a dove and a member of the pigeon family. But that’s not what you said. You said a dove is a pigeon, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the pigeon family pigeons, which means you’d call doves, pigeons, and other birds pigeons, too. Which you said you don’t.

It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

I though Trump would be in this punchline somehow

I can’t think of a more perfectly ungodly food for this sub

He’s old and desperate

Wait really?!

I never really thought about it I guess - I’ve got a bunch of stuff I’m archiving locally that I always felt like it’d be a shame if it disappeared. Would be nice to have a real place for it.

I can’t remember what podcast I was listening to, maybe a Dan Carlin series, but it was talking about how in this post industrialization + propaganda era the breaking point for nations is far FAR more extreme than it was in the before times.

My wife said it’s fine

Oh yeah my favorite is a plain cheeseburger with fresh sliced jalapenos. So yummy.

In my experience the spicier jalapenos are also the tastier ones so I have a hard time imagining how this works.

I mean, I also probably wouldn’t eat the spicy stuff if I didn’t love the flavor - I’m not suffering just for bragging rights! So I’d definitely be down for trying something like the coolapenos here, just would be going into it with some skepticism that it’s anything more than a mild pepper with the mild flavor they produce.

I’d even say no more than two properties. Make people apply for a permit to own more than that and put extreme limits on the reasons they could be successful depending on the current market.

I really hope there is more gamesmanship going on behind the scenes at his office than ‘this doesn’t add up’. But I’m a little skeptical because just game this thing out:

The west claims to 100% support Ukraine yet so far have only done enough to be sure they can stay in the fight. Not enough to outright win. What do outside observers do with that info? If I was China I would absolutely see this as hesitation on the part of the west and recognize that until the west actually does go all in, this will be a source of instability that I can build on to increase my influence in the world. So of course I’m going to play both sides as much as I can get away with, at least until there’s a indication that the west’s stance on this is changing.

This guy capitalisms ^

For those who haven’t had their coffee yet this morning - ‘middle class’ is yet another term they use to divide us and make us fight with each other instead of the real enemy

This is one of my all time favorites

Yeah corporate goals are different and sometimes at odds with the need of their users so what’s the point
