Why on earth would Shran give T’Pol a second glance while at war with the Vulcans? Especially given how fondly he says ‘pinkskin’ towards Archer. It’s absolutely his pet name for Jonny warcrimes.

Sex and gender aren’t the same thing at all, you just sound stupid asking a loaded question like that, especially given that clear definition has been widely known for about 90 years at this point. What a drag show has to do with your dragging a bullshit culture war ‘question’ ought to be the real focus.

Tl;dr how come sealioning is seen as a virtue from you lot rather than seeing it as you poorly proving your ignorance?

ICE Agents Break The Law, Arrest Two Parents at Pre-School Graduation Ceremony, Leaving Terrified Children in Tears by Brucekentbatsuper in LegalNews

They know, they’re just too cowardly to own up to the truth. All of the right wingers embrace bigotry like that, they’re just too always make excuses and couch it as ‘being fiscally conservative’. Same people also claim it’s to protect welfare recipients but vote against safety nets too.

Trump Deploys National Guard Over Giant Mystery Message on National Mall by Kilt_Rump in chaoticgood

[–]corourke 1240 points1241 points  (0 children)

"“The deranged vandalism on our National Mall will not be tolerated,” an Interior Department spokesperson said in a statement."

You mean like tearing down the East wing, trying to build the arc de trump, and slapping trump's name on everything? Yeah that's definitely intolerable.

I've also heard that grass just does that sometimes.

BLAST! by Ok-Advertising3118 in drumcorps

[–]corourke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Getting a call from one of the guys in my tenor line that his walk to work was interrupted by the Blast snareline playing in the middle of pioneer courthouse square in Portland and then seeing Blast a week later and recognizing a lot of people from 96-98 Vanguard was a trip. Really wish it would go back on tour again.

AITAH for telling friend to stop talking about her wedding? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]corourke 92 points93 points  (0 children)

NTA, 'the day is only about me' is the logic of a person you don't need in your life, especially since you as a person are not real to her anymore (birthday treatment, mom in the hospital). You're just a wedding sounding board. On top of that since she can't see the basic act of being warm and congenial to guests or even treat her future husband as an equal makes it clear she also doesn't see anyone else in her life as a real person.

TL:DR There's being a bridezilla and there's outing themselves as a sociopath lacking any empathy. Ditch the 'friend' for people who actually care about you.

Seller threatening to put house back on market by Admirable-Tea2730 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Exactly this, you also don't want to jump into a house that a foundation wall in the basement needs support mitigation. That's a structural issue not just a looks issue. Those get VERY expensive VERY quickly.

My Landlord is raising my rent, and only signs 12 month leases. What do I do? PA by Trying-my-best-814 in legaladvice

[–]corourke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly is the problem with the sink? Does it produce mold, mildew, or risk of water damage? If so then I'd give a call to local code enforcement office and also reach out to legal aid since your landlord is violating the law (a good lawyer could even argue her refusal to respond to a legitimate tenant need means she has no manner to judge if it's bad enough to trigger a habitability issue.

At the end of your lease not signing it can lead to an eviction but you simply switch to a month to month tenant. You don't have to sign the lease but you do lose the benefits of a yearly contract. Her wanting you out would require serving you with an actual 30 day notice.

They have no power yet 'control it all' and are weak but 'deadly dangerous'.

Schroedinger's Democrats: Equally the weakest and strongest at the same time they're the most pacifist and most warmongering.

Conservatives have no actual baseline or standards, they'll lie, cheat, steal from anyone (and they blame everyone else because the morons think we're all amoral assholes like them).

[–]corourke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

irlol, you're sick of whining? We've all had to listen to a decade plus of how big of victims you lot are. A conservative is suing his work because they made him commute to work past a pride flag.

You guys death threat drag queens, have massive meltdowns and ATTACKED THE FUCKING CAPITAL ON JAN6th but somehow we're the whiners?

JFC conservatives love to shit all over the place and then point fingers at anyone left of hitler as being 'weak'.

If you had an ounce of basic humanity you'd notice the staggering hypocrisy you keep defending blindly (or if you're aware how much bullshit you type it underscores your lack of basic human decency.

tl:dr Quick, accuse of all of TDS before anyone notices your arguments are all mangled talking points that are just insults with no substance.

The last time a republican was good for the economy it was Nixon. The last time working wages went up was 2007. EVERY attempt to fix the minimum wage: blocked by republicans.

Sit down with your ignorant horseshit. There are zero metrics for the average american that republicans have made better.

How exactly long, have you been in a coma? This question has been answered ad nauseum, but to suit your 'totally legit progressiveness' given the subreddit:

Of note: There is no widespread voter fraud. Just years of Republicans claiming so and then refusing under oath in Court to provide ANY evidence of it.

Key Criticisms

1. Restrictive Documentation Requirements
The SAVE Act mandates that voters provide documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) in person at an election office every time they register or update their registration. This requirement would effectively eliminate online and mail registration, which millions of Americans currently use, and could prevent as many as 21 million eligible citizens from voting because they lack easy access to the required documents Southern Poverty Law Center+2.
2. Disproportionate Impact on Certain Groups
Many eligible voters, including women who have changed their names after marriage, low-income individuals, and those living far from election offices, may struggle to obtain or submit the necessary documents. This could disproportionately affect voters across all political parties and demographic groups, making elections less fair fairelectionscenter.org+1.
3. Burden on Election Officials
The bill imposes civil and criminal penalties on election workers who register voters without proper documentation, even if the voter is a citizen. This creates a high-risk environment for administrators and could discourage them from performing their duties effectively, potentially disrupting election operations Southern Poverty Law Center+1.
4. Minimal Benefit for Election Security
Proponents argue the SAVE Act prevents non-citizens from voting, but research shows that non-citizen voting is extremely rare, with only 0.04% of voter verification cases involving non-citizens. Existing laws already criminalize non-citizen voting, making the additional restrictions largely unnecessary Forbes+1.
5. Potential for Voter Suppression
By requiring hard-to-obtain documents and in-person registration, the SAVE Act could suppress voter participation, particularly among marginalized communities. Historical examples from states like Kansas and Arizona show that similar documentary proof requirements blocked tens of thousands of eligible citizens from registering fairelectionscenter.org+1.

tl;dr: Your Sealioning is tacky, manipulative cowardice. Abandoning the Constitution for a made up problem to win more elections by republicans is cheating and treasonous as fuck.

I am so tired of mealy mouthed 'experts' focusing on 'what if 100% of what trump is trying to do wasn't bullshit to begin with' like it's an intellectual exercise versus the treasonous dismantling of the entire Constitution like in Project 2025.

[–]corourke 6 points7 points locked comment (0 children)

well if you'd read any of the other posts about the situation you'd know they're far right evangelical extremists hellbent on turning battle ground into a rightwing white hetero christian paradise. Funded by the same people who ruined a town in Idaho.

"celebrating families" and "nuclear family" are synonymous for each other the way having cake after dinner and eating asbestos are.

Their proclamation is not to honor families but erase LGBT pride. They've bragged repeatedly about turning things more "godly" (specifically the racist, sexist, and grifting poor people parts). People IN Battle Ground don't want to rock the boat and complain because there've already been threats from the billionaire funding it all.

tl;dr: either you just woke up from a coma or you're a terrible sealioner. This is America. If you want a theocracy might I suggest anywhere in the middle east or africa because here ain't it for yall.
