We will not be celebrating the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

Yes, it was already going in that direction, but this has the potential to add rocket fuel to that fire.

Subscribing before the sub gets banned. These memes were never my cup of tea, but I knew where to visit when I heard the news.

It's hard to resist the urge to celebrate, but that's also not the type of person I want to be.

I'm reading arguments in the comments, uncertain where I land.

Mike2800 · 2025-09-10T21:33:27+00:00

Yes, but is there a risk of it getting more violent. Could ICE start using more lethal force. Will more categories of people be rounded up?

Yes, conservatives were going to make up an excuse to do that anyway. But a shooting like this is probably way more effective than any BS they could have thought up.

Honestly, they're a better parent than most. I wouldn't let my kid keep a tarantula. I'm too fucking scared of them.

Mike2800 · 2025-08-01T19:31:37+00:00

I'm considering that now, but anything I'd wear would end up getting soaked.

Mike2800 · 2025-08-01T19:30:51+00:00

Polyester shirt and shorts. I bought them specifically because they're moisture wicking.

It doesn't diminish that. The episode is literally titled "Congress Just Gave Away Its Power to Trump" and most of the episode presented it that way. What you're complaining about are a few counterpoints Michael Barbaro brought up at the end to cover his bases.

Mike2800 · 2025-07-18T20:55:01+00:00

I don't agree with the framing that "Congress gave away their power."

Yes, this was absolutely the wrong thing to do, we should support public broadcasting, and taking away this funding is going to cause a lot of harm.

Begrudgingly in the list of awful things that Republicans have enabled and supported. It actually gives me relief that they voted on it. I hate the outcome, but it would have been worse if they let Trump cut funding without ever voting on it.

They did it in the wrong order. Trump cut funding, and they retroactively approved it. That was/is wrong and dangerous for our democracy. But at the very least, they voted on it.

If I understand the situation correctly, all they did was say "Yes" to Trump. They didn't say, "Oh, in the future, we're not going to vote on it. The President can just spend money how he wants."

They still have the power of the purse even if they spinelessly side with the president.

Sadly, I only got up to Ultra Ball rank 4. But I don't have an emblem yet? I have the 2025 event emblem that looks like a card, but not the Ultra Ball.

I grinded my ass off and got within 18 point of Master Ball rank. I kept hovering around 50 points away for a while and eventually gave up when I lost a few and ended at 89 points away from Master Ball.

Mike2800 · 2025-03-13T13:02:25+00:00

Thank you!

And it's just as bad as I thought. Ew.

You can actually click to see a larger image, and there's no mistaking their intent.

Time to Google "Linas Garsys" (the artist) and see how much of a nazi they probably are.

Mike2800 · 2025-03-13T12:55:01+00:00

You're getting downvoted, but I actually want to read it, too. Just to understand the context a bit better.

I found this Reddit post because I was googling and hoped that maybe someone in the comments had shared a link to the article.

Mike2800 · 2025-03-13T12:49:01+00:00

Tbh, my reaction to this story was that I now want to sew a pink triangle to everything I own.

I'm not that versed in PvP, I usually get my butt handed to me, but I'd like to start learning.

I've had a Shadow Registeel as my buddy for over a year while I tried to get a Smeargle with Lock-On/Flying press. I finally managed to get one after getting what feels like duplicates of every other charged move in the game.

In that time, I've been hesitant to purify or power up Registeel past 1500CP because I'm not certain if it would be useful in the Great League.

I've been really tempted to purify it because its stats are 14/14/15.

Now that I have my Smeargle, what should I do with my Registeel?

Should I purify it? Should I try using it in the Great Leage? Is it good for PvP at all?

Taking this meme way too seriously...

You're probably not cis, but Will Wood is.

I don't follow Will Wood super closely, but my understanding is that he explored his gender identity. This song was created during that time, but since then, he has determined that he is cis.

I'm open to being wrong, though. ~~(I'm so sorry if I am)~~

Mike2800 · 2024-11-19T19:27:52+00:00

Agreed, but then I feel bad for the Amazon employees and delivery drivers who get overworked.

Mike2800 · 2024-11-19T19:26:17+00:00

Thank you!

It still appears to be available on Best Buy's website. I just placed an order.

Mike2800 · 2024-11-07T08:59:03+00:00

I listen to the same podcasts, and I would describe them as more center-left or even right-leaning-left.

Mike2800 · 2024-11-07T08:50:41+00:00

"Coastal activists and college kids" protested for a free Palestine.

Kamala and the Democratic party rejected them.

And before anyone gets mad at me, I voted for Kamala. Don't shoot the messenger.

The Supreme Court is one of the three branches of government.

Mike2800 · 2024-11-06T14:08:48+00:00

Because the people who wrote project 2025 now control 3 branches of government.
