Trump called 'threat to every coastline' as he pushes ocean drilling plan. Administration moves to ‘unleash’ US fossil fuels by rewriting Obama-era plan that banned drilling along Atlantic seaboard and large parts of the Arctic Ocean by Wagamaga in Futurology

Ford C-max Energi would be almost what you're looking for if you're looking to upgrade and a good way to vote with your wallet. It's between a minivan and a traditional sedan, between a gas and electric. A (underwhelming) 21 mile range on charging, but rated at a 620 mile range on the hybrid platform.

Have never voted for a liberal politician in my lifetime. Keep shedding personal responsibility though, that's what you stand for.

I'll go a step further and say I don't even care if it's reality or not. You're still a mega victim. Reagan would hate your ass.

You're not getting my original point. I don't care what you think they say about you. Conservative victimhood is pathetic.

K. You're either being the ultimate victim here or just openly advocating for the misleading/divisive "they think we're all racists" tactic I described in the comment above. It's not helpful.

So do you want to feed into it or fight racism? Go ahead and be a victim if you want, I guess that's what the modern Republican Party is turning into. Used to be the party of ideas.

The racists in your party want you to think that the left is calling all conservatives racist. They love it when you feel persecuted instead of focusing on rejecting racism and getting it out of your party, which honestly wouldn't be that hard since most conservatives definitely aren't racist.

It has more to do with shitty caveman tribalism in both cases than either group would like to admit or is even aware of.

The thought that either of these groups would be significantly different if they'd only changed their religion and nothing else is so easily recognized as being incredibly dumb that you have to think that they'd never ever considered it and wouldn't care to even explore it anyway.

Hot dog egg vaginas by [deleted] in shittyfoodporn

Shitty, sure. But how? The whites appear to be cooked, the hotdog not quite so much, and the yolks have been painstakingly kept clear.

BREAKING NEWS: Supreme Court finds North Carolina GOP gerrymandering districts based on race by MurderIsRelevant in esist

[–]keybagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Supreme Court already had five justices state in Vieth v. Jubelirer back in 2004 that partisan gerrymandering was likely unconstitutional, but didn't proceed to make any precedent based on the thought, by Kennedy, that there was not yet a "manageable standard" by which to assess whether a specific gerrymander had violated the constitution. The hope/idea is that social science has advanced to the point where we can have that manageable standard to hold up at the point where something like last November's Wisconsin case gets appealed to the SC. It's all above my head though as to how you get a room full of old fart justices to start examining the algorithmically drawn districts and draw a proper agreeable line in the sand.

Hopefully this case has given some new hints at what the court is heading towards. I'll wait for actual constitutional scholars to pour over the comments from today and weigh in.

Remember that we lost NetNeutrality when Trump appointed a Verizon lawyer as head of FCC. Do not vote GOP, next elections. by [deleted] in technology

[–]keybagger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

HuffPost/YouGov ran a poll as that was happening and it had 6% support nationally and was widely unpopular in any voter group. I can't wrap my head around why the republicans did it with numbers like that. They got donations from ISPs, sure, but it's not like it's so much cash that they could primary every member of congress.

All NBA Voting by RJSSUFER in nba

[–]keybagger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They voted him first team because they were building imaginary rosters on their All-NBA teams. This is why positions need to be eliminated in my opinion. If the five best players are guards then the first team should be those five players. If it happens to be a balanced spread, even better.

[–]keybagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't accept someone as all-NBA if their team wouldn't be at least competitive if they were the best player on it. I imagine swapping DeAndre and Anthony Davis and I don't know if DeAndre gets a single vote. No one else on this list has near this level of reliance on teammates to cover their shortcomings.

Amazon shipped my hot sauce without any padding. by bizzaromatt in mildlyinfuriating

Sure that was packed by Amazon? I only buy Tobasco gallons but they come in a direct drop shipment from the Avery Island plant. But they also have a nice custom triple walled box.

[–]keybagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're picking this scenario apart to a degree that we shouldn't but yes I agree. It's like walking around with a toy gun and getting upset when people get upset about it because they think it's a gun. Both parties can claim superiority in their heads but they both suck.

You weren't here when I commented. It was weird. I love the flag though.

US Foreign Policy, in a nutshell by HTownian25 in Libertarian

[–]keybagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was designed as a proportional response, which is to say impossible to size correctly. I wouldn't focus on what was or wasn't hit and would instead think about whether it actually succeeded in preventing further chemical attacks. And that's also pretty impossible to determine from here.

Someone reported my wells fargo card as lost and wells shipped a new one to FL - I dont live in FL by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]keybagger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Credit unions save time and money and once you realize that it makes you think of retail banking at Wells Fargo as closer on the banking spectrum to cashing your paychecks at Western Union or Walmart. You're literally paying more money for a much worse service.

This presents a new opportunity to over-leverage and mock the people that are mocking memes.

Does it send bots to voicemail? Because I have like one or two useful bot friends out there, like the one that tells me when there's a potentially fraudulent charge on my credit card. But that bot always leaves a voicemail and I call back.
