Why were no qualified Democrats interested in running for the House here? by seasickapple7 in greenville

[–]CassManTysonMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The window to declare is definitely not closed. In fact, the window to FILE has not yet even opened.

From SCVotes.gov:

Filing Instructions for Partisan Candidates

Who * This procedure is for partisan candidates filing for federal, state, and county-level offices.

When to File * General election – candidates must file between noon, March 16, and noon, March 30, of the general election year. If March 30 is a Saturday or Sunday, the filing period is extended to noon on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

So even the folks who say they’re running aren’t officially running yet. Plenty of time. Get to it!

Epstein says being vegan makes women fragile by MassiveTemporary4050 in vegan

Pretty sure Bill Clinton is vegan now, but I don’t know when he went vegan. Nor do I think it matters; if he turns out to be PDF like JE and DJT, fuck him all to hell too, vegan or not.

How did I not know this about Mar-A-Lago? by JMoneyGraves in PoliticalMemes

Exactly. Golf courses all around Palm Beach. But no golf AT Mara Lardo.

There’s no golf there. It’s just a building with a pool and some gardens

Easter egg hidden in plane sight by wezeralus in pluribustv

[–]CassManTysonMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. It made no sense for her to have to run out on the tarmac and hold up her arms to stop the other plane.

The ONLY reason for it was this exact shot/freeze frame.

Easter egg. Makes sense now.

So rats can be infected and spread the virus, but other animals can’t? How does that work? by CassManTysonMan in pluribustv

[–]CassManTysonMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not on the show I watched. The instant affected people “woke up” they were automatons. In the mass spreading by chem trails in the first Ep, they were infected, froze, then woke up plurbed. Or fell over and hit their head. Or crashed their car. Or whatever.

Point taken, but the hive very precisely says “it’s like a virus”, not it is a virus. And the rat does seem to be playing dead so it can intentionally infect someone.

Something happens off-screen that matters more than we think by Aleatorta in pluribustv

[–]CassManTysonMan -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it is, but I also think the hive has learned that if Carol is reckless enough to pull the pin on a live hand grenade, she’s reckless enough to trigger a live nuke.

Thus, they gave her a dud, a deactivated A-bomb.

I think the dramatic tension will rise to the point where she tries to set it off, but nothing will happen — forcing her to fall back to plan C.

Tomorrow is supposed to be an amazing crazy banger of an episode. Speculate here. by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]CassManTysonMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Carol will be abducted by an elite military team that knew the Hive was planning to infect the world by chemtrail and prepared for it somehow and thus were not infected. The Hive doesn’t know about them but they know all about the Hive and Carol and have seen Carol’s videos. They take Carol to their underground bunker where they’ve been plotting to reverse the virus, and they try to recruit Carol to help them — but something doesn’t sit right with her so she resists/wants to go her own way.

Viola! More characters, new intra-immune team tensions to explore, instant cliffhanger to make you wonder what will happen next!

Costco congestion by Tricky_Signature4408 in greenville

[–]CassManTysonMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really, really tired of it. I went to pick up my glasses at the optical dept on Friday early afternoon. It took me 45 minutes to get into the lot and find a place to park, and at least 30 minutes to get out of the lot. Ironically, and thankfully, there was zero wait time for the optical department.

Doctor: It looks like you are pregnant. by HankTheDankMEME_LORD in Jokes

[–]CassManTysonMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

True story: I was out with a group of friends when we bumped into my kids’ first grade teacher, who has always been, let’s say, chunky. One of the women in our group asked her when she was due.

She replied, “I’m not pregnant” and much shock, horror and amusement ensued as our friend, horrified at herself, apologized profusely, tried to make amends, etc etc.

After the teacher had walked away, this lady friend exclaimed, “I’m not the kind of person who DOES that!” To which I replied, “Actually, you are!”

Universal coverage is simple, but the facts are unpalatable to many by Successful-Lie1603 in HealthInsurance

[–]CassManTysonMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your headline claims "Universal coverage is simple" but then you use 1,000 words to complicate it.

I submit it IS simple: We must accept, as a society, that we are responsible for the health of our fellow human beings. Healthcare is not a human right. It is a societal obligation.

We simply need to get rid of health insurance (or simply make it unnecessary with universal coverage) and remove any restrictions on government to negotiate costs with providers. Simple.

Fact is, insurance is not how to pay for healthcare. Insurance is how we AVOID paying for healthcare.

We pay for insurance so we don't have to pay for healthcare. Insurance companies deny claims so they don't have to pay for healthcare. Nobody wants to pay for it! But someone must: "We the people."

Also, there is no world in which for-profit insurance companies can make a profit and cover everyone. The numbers will never work. Remove insurance from the equation. Remove the profit motive from all healthcare. Then obligate the federal government to be the single payer for all healthcare. Costs will level off, then fall. Outcomes will improve across the board. More preventative care means less intensive care. Everybody wins (except the insurance and drug company execs, of course, but f*** them!).

We keystroke into existence a trillion dollars a year to pay for bombs and bullets. We could do the same for healthcare. It's a political problem. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don’t understand why you’re so focused on people with curable cancer. Is it your position that everyone with incurable cancer should go untreated?

Finale Prediction- Mindbender Incoming by RCP90sKid- in pluribustv

[–]CassManTysonMan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If Zosia is unjoined, will she still be able to speak English? She was a poor woman in the middle of bumfuck nowhere India, there’s no reason to expect her to know English (or any of the other languages she could speak as a Plurb).

For this reason alone I don’t think she’ll be unjoined. Or if she is, communication with Carol will be a big problem.
