The implication feels like "Kimmel apologized, we didn't do anything wrong here, stop being mad at us."

I wish the rapture did happen, then maybe I could get some peace and quiet.

You're right, but I do think it's important to note that where we are now was not inevitable, but a product of decades of work by fascist ideologues, think tanks, and politicians, as well as a common disregard for this threat by centrist politicians more concerned with maintaining the status quo.

It's okay. I am happy for them. Your post helped me express my distress when it was kind of just stewing in my head, so I appreciate that.

It just sucks because for me, it takes a lot of prep and mental energy to feel comfortable with asking. Dating as a numbers game isn't really possible for me.

Funny story, I finally made the decision to ask out my crush last night when we went to see a movie with another friend, and she announced that her and our other friend are dating now. Trying not to feel crushed. 🫠

Genuinely yes. All of my favorite anime have adult characters. CB of course, Black Lagoon, Darker than Black, Planetes, Samurai Champloo, Ghost in the Shell, all don't take place in a High School and are better for it.

Which means almost everything Vance will be able to do will be restricted to Executive Orders, which are extremely easy to rescind by the next President.

An interesting thing to keep in mind is that Trump used MAGA extensively to threaten politicians with primaries so that they did what he said. I haven't seen any signs Vance will be able to garner the same rabid loyalty from MAGA, which will make it so much harder to get things passed in Congress.

Vance doesn't have the same cult of personality, he'll be bad but he has nowhere near the amount of political capital Trump has.

He can try to threaten like Trump has to geth things done, but they won't have anywhere near the same level of weight.

I feel the same. Love my Tequila.

I should probably try that someday. I do want to move to France specifically for the cuisine lol.

This tells me absolutely nothing about what I asked so I guess I'll just block you.

Oh my fucking god, at least post an actual source instead of an "AI summary". But please feel free to let me know about any initiatives Newsom personally led the charge on, because otherwise I'm going to assume protections were passed in spite of him, not because of.

Maybe instead of arguing with trans people about why we should vote for one of two candidates who both believe we don't have a right to exist, you should using the three years before next election, an eternity in politics, to find a better candidate.

I think I can appreciate the line "He knows where the Democratic party is going." We all want more fighting back, so he decided to do that (by hiring a savvy social media manager).

I choose to believe that he's not a foregone conclusion, three years is a huge amount of time to find someone better.
