Douglas Adams’ middle name was “Noel”, not “and”.
- Comment on I'm literally a thinking lump of fat 2 days ago:
Be fair. You are an abstraction layer; a subsystem running on that electrified hunk of fat. There’s plenty of stuff that evolution has delegated as non-conscious functions of the fatlump.
- Comment on Even the traffic signs are weighing in 1 week ago:
They probably are. People tampering with the signs only causes drivers not to be aware of hazardous conditions ahead, so no one in authority cared.
But not for much longer, now that someone used one to gloat about the death of a CEO.

- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 3 weeks ago:
Like so. I didn’t even say I used the word, just that it was hated.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 3 weeks ago:
I live in the Rio Grande Valley. The prevailing sentiment I’ve heard from people regarding trump-supporting Latino relatives was that they seem to be of the opinion that trump is only going to go after the undocumented. There’s also a fuckton of anger at the word “Latinx.”
Mind you, this is anecdote based on my personal observations living in the area, and I make no claims beyond that.
Couple this with the Democratic Party moving to the right on immigration. Now the people who once had common cause with Democrats and would begrudgingly vote for them in spite of their misgivings regarding abortion and trans people had no reason to stick with the party and either voted trump or stayed home.
It also doesn’t help that we lost our NPR affiliate a few years back. The valley is really spread out and a lot of people get their news from terrestrial radio on their work commute. Now the only non-music programming is trumpist grievance screaming.

Or they slow-walked the trial because they wanted to run against Trump again.

You sure showed us who’s in charge of the party. And didn’t give a shit about anything else.
Voted for Harris, btw.

You will never admit that moving to the right has failed.
- Comment on True Story 1 month ago:
And the best part is that Democrats aren’t gonna learn a fucking thing. They’ll move even further to the right next time. If there even is a next time.
- Comment on True Story 1 month ago:
Because the alternative involves accepting that moving to the right has failed as a strategy, and they don’t want to do anything else.

Then the rabble wont show up for elections. No better way to drain the energy out of a voter base then to make their voices feel unheard.
Democrats will never understand this.

You mean “fuck you, you’re voting for us, here’s Dick Cheney!” wasn’t the winning message for everyone that it was for centrists?

You commented and then edited your comment to whine about downvotes.
That’s not what moving on looks like at all.

How about that.

To a point. Beyond that point, they exist so that businesses can make anti-customer decisions while underpaying people to be abused for it.
