Dammit, I even read it in his fucking voice.

Oh yeah, I know what the ladies like.

More like a third, or less. Only about half to 60% of eligible people vote in any given election.

Don’t do my man Viktor von Doom like that. Latveria is a dictatorship, but he’s literally the platonic ideal of a benevolent dictator - his people love him, everyone else outside Latveria thinks he’s actually a pretty decent dude when it comes to ruling too (aside from Richards).

Except I can see Trump just sidestepping via EO. Sure, it’s unconstitutional, but “official acts”, remember?

And that’s exactly it. Putin has literally made no secret that he wants to take back, by force, every former SSR he can’t force into CSTO. The Baltics, Moldova, Poland, Finland probably. Then south to Georgia, Armenia, and who knows where it’ll stop - maybe he’ll be dumb enough (and live long enough) to try to start Afghanistan War #4.
- Comment on Never forget 2 weeks ago:
You act like SCOTUS would need to defend it. Assuming Thomas and Alito step down in the next 4 years, Trump has two open slots to fill with other younger bucks like he did in 2016, and without a Dem lockup in Congress to actually impeach anyone over their decisions, the decisions they make could theoretically stand unchallenged for decades.
- Comment on Well, that escalated quickly. 2 weeks ago:
Don’t forget selling off state secrets to the highest bidder. Literally months after Trump won the first time, he met with Vladimir Putin in a private meeting, where the Mueller Report claimed he gave Putin a list of CIA assets tasked with monitoring Russian activity. About a month after THAT, CIA agents and assets started disappearing in Russia and across Europe, almost all of them conveniently FROM THAT LIST.
He also stole state secrets after leaving office and proudly displayed those like war trophies to anyone he met with at Mar-A-Lago.
- Comment on The most powerful brain on Twitter 2 weeks ago:
The thing is that this looks like fascism, but for a different reason. The place that got their animals taken away was a legally licensed, insured, and recognized wildlife sanctuary, and the reason given was “we need to test them for rabies” despite the animals showing no signs of rabies infection, nor any incident occurring which would require those tests.
The whole thing reeks of some sort of petty local dispute with the PD.

This also got used in Baby Driver. Highly recommend a watch.
- Comment on Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often? 1 month ago:
Don’t forget that the Ohio Supreme Court let the GOP just… Keep submitting shit district maps after being ordered to draw fair maps multiple times. We still haven’t drawn a new district map, that’s what Issue 1 is about.
- Comment on Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often? 1 month ago:
Yup, down ballot races matter just as much, if not arguably more. This says nothing of ballot issues or tax levies as well.
- Comment on Anon finds the culprit 1 month ago:
Also remember that correlation isn’t causation. Trust me, every autistic person in the West has heard all about how we just need to adjust our gut biome and suddenly we won’t be autistic, or we just need to go vegan, or any of a thousand other wonder cures. These cures have been touted since the 1900s, and the people they “work” on are generally agreed to just have learnt to mask better because almost every “treatment”, no matter how benign, is horrible to deal with.

Not to mention that these managers had time to do this in the first place, which indicates to me that those managers are doing a whole boatload of nothing.

It wouldn’t have surprised me if WOTC dropped D&D as a brand if Honor Among Thieves had flopped.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 2 months ago:
And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers “well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years”.
- Comment on Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace 2 months ago:
Totally employer dependent. Some places give you sick days and want you to use them if needed, some give you them and will absolutely throw you out if you use them, some don’t give you any, some people want you to use your PTO for sick time.

- Comment on How does Ohio have stock for the new cannabis stores that just opened? 3 months ago:
Oh they fucking tried a LOT. The public at large, and a lot of the lobbying groups, kept up the pressure really well to get this through.
- Comment on Paid Leave Olympics 3 months ago:
Teachers in the US definitely do NOT “take the summer off”, as someone who has an SIL that’s a teacher. That time winds up getting filled with lesson planning, adapting to new curricula, meetings with administration to discuss new curricula or books, and usually working a second job because your school is, most of the time, not paying you to do any of that.
- Comment on Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO 3 months ago:
Exactly this. You’re either rich, or you’re working two full-time jobs, which will absolutely wreck the shit out of your mental and physical health in the long run.

I’m so glad my community college refused to offer or honor any internship that was unpaid (or paid less than a set amount). We even got the local university to go along with it, so now pretty much nobody offers unpaid internships in the area because they all realize that they’d be missing out on a huge labor pool otherwise.

And at the end of the day, if you have separated it but you’re STILL not sure, throw it out. Not having mushrooms is preferable to being a corpse.

Most plants that we eat are excellent at taking up heavy metals too - potatoes and herbs especially.

The solace is that their island will likely be swallowed by the sea in fairly short order.
- Comment on From 'quiet quitting' to 'coffee badging' — why employees are less interested in work 4 months ago:
Honestly this. My work still gets done and dealt with. At the end of the day, that’s what matters - if you want me to take more, pay me.
