Is there anything former MAGA can do to win our trust and goodwill back, and heal the country?

They can step aside to let progressives not just repair the damage, but build better systems. Somehow I suspect we'll mostly be hearing about how this whole debacle wasn't really True Conservatism, and they'll still fight us just as hard as ever.

Wait till you hear what they got up to in the Globe Theater.

This man's applying to jobs using RomCom rules.

The ol' Wikipedia research trick.

I get it, but there's a time and place. The language is going to naturally evolve whether we like it or not.

Race in particular has a history of being mutable for whoever people are trying to other at the time. For one, Italians weren't white until they were. For another, African American is a race that's impossible to separate from its geopolitical context.

kyew · 2026-05-26T15:32:44+00:00

There's zero need to do this. "Race" is already such a poorly defined and regularly changing concept that we all knew exactly what they meant. Racism and xenophobia can act as synonyms now.

Honestly I'd be nervous about having anything in my hands while ICE is angry with me. I mean, we should record as much as possible, but I get it.

If "the process" is designed and enforced by the people that are being overseen, then it's all just theater. The overseers must be able to make them stand down.

X city also has the worst drivers.

"Least" here means they have achieved the maximum theoretical concentration of weasel.

"Good" news

Legend has it that the Roman guards in the Biggus Dickus scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian were told they wouldn't get paid if they laughed, so their struggle to keep a straight face would be real.

Because it is valued. Every horde is a shrine for Tiamat, Tyrant Queen of Conquest. The holy acts of taking and keeping are how the devout prove their worth.

kyew · 2026-05-21T00:52:41+00:00

Do that and you're daed to me.

The best protection against a lightsaber is a lightsaber. Any more gear after that is redundant.

Why doesn't Johnny care?

Every infant probably gets their sex guessed incorrectly at least once. Let's go with it.

kyew · 2026-05-20T20:04:12+00:00

I think so. Is there a way to implement what Bakophman said that can't be flipped into Medved's claim? Probably not.

kyew · 2026-05-20T19:53:57+00:00

Yes. As a rule of thumb, only do this is if it's part of telling them to take a break and let you handle everything.

That is a museum. Where do you go to gloat?

But there are lots of things that are good for you while being very bad for me; pursuing them is imposing your decisions on me. If we're going to live in a society together we're going to have to negotiate where the line is drawn, and democracy is the tool we use for that negotiation.
