Man i wrote two lines, how is that too much to read
- Comment on Why is there no true Progressive party in America right now? 5 weeks ago:
Same reason there’s no fascist party: the two main parties contain large parts of their political spectrum.
From there the question is does the moderate or radical wing of the party gain more influence. The far-right has won the Republican party years ago while progressives still haven’t gained that much ground in the Democratic party.

This is a thing that annoys me and it’s not just Microsoft doing this: there’s never a “No” button, it’s always “Not now” or “Maybe later”. As if i’m going to reconsider. As if it’s an honest offer worth thinking about and not a pop-up.

So dry them thoroughly before eating?
And then you DIY distill the pickle juice to get as much water and as little acid as possible

And the acidity makes normal tap water taste sweet as if it has sugar in it, it’s pretty neat

But in this situation you can drink water and wash it down, preventing acid damage to your eusophagus. The author of this greentext can’t get water into their intestines.

According to my googling, they may be by Li-Anne Dias? But the artist’s website is so bad you’re better off reading the comics when they’re reposted elsewhere
But these are so classic they even mention Windows XP

I’m gonna be 100% honest here. I would do this if i were president.

As a bi man, they may kinda be for me but not really. There’s such a thing as too shredded, many of these are close to that territory.
And for fuck’s sake, you’re not too cool to crack a smile. I’m sure these guys are great IRL but i don’t like those stone faces that they hold in every picture, it makes them look like they care too much about their macho image and would yell at me if i asked them to bottom.
In general i wonder how many of these are supposed to be hot and how many are supposed to represent a powerful male hero. That’s the thing with shirtless dudes.

- Comment on New Speaker Mike Johnson Blamed School Shootings on the Teaching of Evolution 6 months ago:
Misleading headline: if you read the article and watch the video, he actually blames school shootings on the lack of moral education, with merely a reference to evolution teaching as an example of amoral atheism in the classroom.
So it’s not a cartoonish slogan, it’s actually a fairly standard fascist talking point.
And people say, ‘How can a young person go into their schoolhouse and open fire on their classmates?’ Because we’ve taught a whole generation, a couple generations now of Americans, that there’s no right or wrong, that it’s about survival of the fittest, and you evolve from the primordial slime. Why is that life of any sacred value? Because there’s nobody sacred to whom it’s owed. None of this should surprise us.

A bump stock arguably makes it full auto, but it doesn’t make it a machinegun.
Arguably the reason this thread is confused is that the word ‘machine gun’ doesn’t refer so much to physical characteristics, but more to a usage: they’re meant for sustained covering fire rather than short bursts.

I wonder if they’re old enough to have been there. For people in a pretty narrow age range, it could be interesting to react the way they saw adults react around them, or how they remember it.
I wouldn’t have much to contribute, i just remember people talking about something i didn’t undersatnd but retrospectively seems to have been 9/11
