100%
If there are enough prisoners that they would create a large enough voting bloc that they could get someone elected, then that means there is something fucked up with the legal system. If there aren’t that many, then what’s the big deal allowing them to vote?
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
Sure, absolutely. Which is part of the reason I think it’s bad to give the justice department this kind of power.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
Because let’s be honest, this is 100% a case of community self defense.
That’s not how self defense laws work, for good reason. Self defense requires imminent threats, and we’ve established this for centuries as the way it should be.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely the people should be able to elect a felon. This is how the law should absolutely work. Imagine how bad it would be if they could just remove political rivals by getting the justice department to catch them in some bs felony, or even frame them for something. The real travesty is that we allow the state to remove the right to vote for a felony conviction.

- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 weeks ago:
Your link is Clinton saying she won’t say before the primary is over whether she would support Sanders. It’s not even her saying she wouldn’t do it, let alone all liberals saying it.
The amount of disinformation spread here is amazing.

Regular doors with handles don’t fail open, there is just an Intuitive and common way to manually open them, which seems like the short coming here.

Y’all get infuriated (even if only mildly so) at some of the weirdest shit. This is just funny.
- Comment on Hidden razor blades 5 weeks ago:
Oh, I went full Jesus during the pandemic, with long hair and let my beard grow out. . .and it just never made up for the fact that I have literal bald patches throughout it. . .I almost needed a comb over on my beard it was so pathetic.
That, and I have seborrheic dermatitis, and growing a beard makes it flair up and it seems the only way to get rid of it is for me to shave when it happens. And then I just have a red face which is no good.
Better for me to just stay clean shaven. lol
- Comment on Hidden razor blades 5 weeks ago:
Interesting…what do you think is better about the safety razor? I could never really get the hang of them.
- Comment on Hidden razor blades 5 weeks ago:
If your beard looked as bad as mine, you’d continue to shave too lol
- Comment on Hidden razor blades 5 weeks ago:
It’s expensive up front, but I switched to a leaf razor years ago i just had buy a new pack of 100 razors for 19 bucks. I use 3 at a time, but they last a long time.
They last a long time, are cheaper, I get a better shave (especially since moving to a puck and horsehair brush), and I don’t generate nearly any plastic trash.
I can’t recommend moving over enough.
- Comment on Trump's eligibility 1 month ago:
You really can’t think of anything more obviously a case of treason than what you believe trump has done?
The guy is loyal only to himself, no doubt. But, I don’t even see how it would fit this definition at all, and I can easily come up with many things more obviously a violation. Also keep in mind that Russia is not an enemy; we are not at war with them. They are an adversary.
- Comment on Trump's eligibility 1 month ago:
I mean, isn’t that the definition of a traitor?
The definition of treason is very clear and very narrowly defined in the COTUS, and this does not meet the definition.
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 1 month ago:
I’m not as doomer as everyone else for the short term. It’s the long term I’m worried about. He might get 2 more scotus members, and he’s going to do everything in his power to undercut any attempt to tackle climate change. And that includes his scotus picks who will almost certainly declare any needed attention to address climate change as unconstitutional.
- Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? 1 month ago:
This is a terrible apology. You make it all about then instead of your actions and then don’t even say you won’t do it, but only that you’ll try to do it…and then immediately dropping the f bomb throwing out the window any chance that you’re “trying” means anything.
- Comment on Is There A Source For Unbiased Election Results As They Happen? 1 month ago:
I read this and was like “10 bucks says it’s just alphabetical” and, lo and behold, it’s just alphabetical. How is that not the obvious answer?
They haven’t even started counting yet.
You need to take a fucking chill pill, my man.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 1 month ago:
I bought 5 years ago when it was still reasonable. I have a great rate on a great house that has increased by about 50% since I bought it.
I don’t want to, because this is just about the perfect size house for us in a great location, but I can’t really “trade up” as the interest rates are through the roof and everything is more expensive too.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It really depends on how complicated your set up is and how much you value your privacy. I use personal capital (now empower), which also helps me manage a budget as well, and see our multiple investment accounts all in one place, so I can balance both mine and my wife’s. So I would recommend that, with the caveat that you might not feel comfortable sharing all of that with a third party.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yeah it’s not for everyone, but I just have an event on my calendar for every six months, and I just rebalance when it goes off. Only takes a short while, especially if you are using some tool that will tell you what your weights are.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
If you’re really hands off these are a good choice. But if you are willing to rebalance a couple of times a year, it’s unnecessary to pay the extra fees associated with these funds.
- Comment on Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why 1 month ago:
Yeah it’s a lot of fun. I had a few adults that were there the whole time, but then a bunch of other neighbors/friends wandered in and out throughout the night. Probably had a total of about 10 different people hanging out.

Normally I wear a costume, but mine fell apart this year.

Lol I’m definitely doing this next year
- Comment on Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why 1 month ago:
At my house we get north of 200 kids every year it’s decent outside. Sometimes over 250. We’re talking about a kid every minute for the 3.5 hours we do it.
I just set up a table outside, invite a few friends over, drink some beers and give kids candy as they show up. Fuck having to answer the door every minute for 3.5 hours.
My older neighbors complained that the kids don’t have to come up to the front door and are skipping their house because I sit outside. I felt a little guilty, but honestly sitting outside (it it’s cold I get a fire pit going, not tonight tho) is much nicer. One older couple followed my lead this year and agreed. So I’m over it now. Welcome to the new world.

This is truly lowest of the low type of scum behavior.
I get being upset about it. But, ffs, get some perspective.
- Comment on World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store 1 month ago:
Be careful judging because there will be plenty of people here who will think “anyone still playing the game is an idiot.”

- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 1 month ago:
It only sounds like a contradiction if you take “pro-life” literally. In fact, I find this hard to understand at all if you simply just listen to pro-lifers.
Let me be clear, I’m about as firm a supporter of a woman’s right to choose as they come. I’m also adamantly against the death penalty. Do you find this position to be contradictory?
However, the general position of “pro lifers” does not contradict this at all, pretty obviously. They think that a fetus is a child that hasn’t been born yet, and because it hasn’t been born, it’s completely innocent. So you have no right to take it’s life. However, if some person in life has done something in life that removes that innocence, they believe sometimes that rises to such a heinous level that they must be permanently and irrevocably removed from society.
There are other glaring contradictions in their position, like not wanting to provide support to that innocent baby once it has come into the world, but this is clearly not one of them.

I think this has long since debunked and it’s actually the other way. At the very least it’s inconclusive.
