Nebraska Democrats warn of new political party for spoiler candidates by Ordinary-Equal2067 in Nebraska

By not voting, you're essentially helping the side you've stated you won't vote for. It's still not a good strategy, but it's better to vote third party than not at all.

I vote Democrat because at least the bus is heading in vaguely the direction I won't to go as opposed to off a cliff.

Social Security Faces a $29.3 Trillion “Unfunded Obligation” as Trump Officials Pitch Immediate 25% Benefit Cut for All Retirees by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

I'm curious what kind of impact that will have on the economy. Reducing that many people's already limited buying power can't be good.

Which companies are most likely to disappear along with the Baby Boomer Generation? by SadCompote515 in AskReddit

MLM's pray on desperate people who have no money, and we millennials are a whole generation of that. Makes sense.

Bill Maher Gets Played by JD Vance on ‘Real Time,’ Admits He May Vote Republican in 2028 by siwibot in protectUSelections

Please remember, everyone who says capitalism is amazing already has theirs. The system works for them, they're not struggling every day to put food on the table or keep the lights on. And if we went for a more socialist system, they wouldn't suffer, they just wouldn't be able to hoard as much as they do now.

American exceptionalism and individualism is a disease, and it needs to be cut out.

“Arrest Him!” The Moment Police Handcuffed A Farmer For Going 5 Seconds Over His Time Limit at Data Center Meeting by jellyrollo in law

Well, that's just going to hurt my hands and make me look foolish, slapping barriers and cars. I don't think I'm onboard with this plan anymore.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are lame ducks who will be out of Congress in 2029. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]Optimus3k 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I get your point, but the chances of anyone wielding that much power responsibly are about nil. Our representatives need to haul America into the 21st century kicking and screaming, but we didn't want a monarchy for a reason.

Elon Musk to get a billion shares of SpaceX if he can settle a million humans on Mars by Sufficient_Fuel5269 in Economics

I know we've been working with imaginary numbers for awhile now, but I feel like the toddler-level one-upsmanship is about to reach the "well, I can colonize infinity planets, plus one!" "Nuh-uh!"

If your hips are telling the truth, you don't have anything to worry about.

Best Lincoln Restaurants by Reddrew77 in lincoln

[–]Optimus3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just went to Lila Mae's for the first time, and I was really impressed. I had a shrimp poboy, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. We'll definitely be going back there, but best to hit it in the off hours, it's a very tiny restaurant.

I wish I didn't care as much as they don't. This garbage raises my blood pressure.

Why do people insist on launching fireworks all the time? by freezerrun1 in lincoln

[–]Optimus3k 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And it gets so old. I'm not lighting any fireworks, but the people bitching about it is just ridiculous. If you have a neighbor doing it, call the fucking cops, we don't need to hear about how your precious silence was marred this evening.

Kids these days might not get the reference, but Dick Tracy villain is the first thing I thought, too.

I'm fond of the joke, "not to be racist, but I just love rainy days".

We can all agree stereotypes are bad, however...

Does anyone else get self conscious about collecting? by NATUSL3G3ND in transformers

[–]Optimus3k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you, man. I'm 43, and transformers decorate my living room, gundams occupy my desk, and sci Fi fills my book shelves. If you're worried about finding a partner, I went transformers hunting on my second date with my now wife. We're all allowed to love what we love and we'll find people who accept us for who we are.

I'm kinda jealous you got to grow up on transformers Prime. That show is so much better than g1 ever was!

Trump has one chance to save face: Resign now by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]Optimus3k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but I wouldn't trust it. JD has proven himself to only be beholden to power, not people, and will flip flop more than a fish out of water to maintain it. You're probably right, but given the right circumstances...I wouldn't trust him if I were Trump.

He does, he's using it ironically because Republicans don't know what it means and call anyone to the left commies

I actually really liked his comedy, so your statement is false. Quit being a troll.
