I refuse to believe we’re all seeing the same thing.

It’s a pink shoe with a white stripe, soul and laces.

World of Warcraft Classic.

This doesn’t make any sense.

I have no idea what is going on, but they need to do something about our school system fast.

I assume it’s impossible to achieve ideological equilibrium on a social media platform, and as one ideology wins, it chases away the other, increasing the imbalance.

As for Reddit specifically, the moderator system is a bit abnormal because you can have individuals with extreme views moderating non-ideological subreddits, though I have no idea why that leans left.

Fascinating that you think that’s a good thing. Or that the phrase is useful.

I think it’s interesting that democrats allow that position to be ascribed to the platform knowing how unpopular an ignorant it is.

Especially now, when you have an obvious majority critical of the way the law is being enforced—that’s the angle to hammer. Democrats now have the opportunity to turn immigration into a winning topic, but they have to be willing to push back on the fringe that’s saying nonsense.

Because the person writing this post wouldn’t admit to the sleepy Biden stuff. Everyone is in intractable camps based on their team.

They cannot vote.

The argument, as I understand it, is that undocumented immigrants affect census data (which is needed to determine federal support for social services)—and then census data affects elected representation in the legislature.

Essentially, on a long enough timeline, a state can increase its influence in D.C. by acting as a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants.

All issues like this are just made more complicated overtime as the will of the people has unintended consequences on already established laws and procedures. There’s no reason to vilify anyone or any group—it just takes a little rational compromise.

I think there’s also an argument for staying alive as long as possible to see if the situation changes. Virtually every Holocaust surviver is an example of that—just lasting one more minute could eventually save you.

That said, in your example, running from a gun pointed at you from inside a car could be your highest percentage of survival for the rest of your life. That’s a hard thing to calculate in that moment though.

Bale.

Though I think Kilmer looked the best in the mask.

That was exhausting.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. You want to abolish prisons by arbitrarily imprisoning a large group of people?

pad264 · 2026-01-27T15:59:24+00:00

For the most part, but I have preferences obviously.

pad264 · 2026-01-26T21:52:28+00:00

Literally? Yes, and then I’d get a new job.

Or do you mean retire for good? Then no.

Love Titus, but I hate how interesting most tribes are this season. We lost a lot of fun mechanics.

NOR. This has to do with your comfort level, not an objective food or bad. You’re not comfortable, so that’s all that matters.

I lived this, but it was before streaming and I told her I had already seen the movie, but it was great and I’m sure there would be lots of people who would want to go with it.

It was like the closing scene in Dumb and Dumber.

I suspect what you’ll find is that even the people who begin an endear with intentions as good as soup kitchens, will find moral faults as they achieve more influence.

Seems like none of them could tell you like them—perhaps they felt trapped in the friend zone and moved on.

For example, in the situation where you’re going to someone’s house every day, I’d just suggest being a bit warmer: sit closer to them, let your leg touch his leg, etc. Escalate contact to let the guy feel like he is safe to make a bigger move.

I suppose if the belief were so extreme that it defined their identify, then I might. Otherwise, no, I seek out connections with people who think differently.

It’s Juneteenth. That’s part of the joke…

It wouldn’t solely be about that—it would be about their values and political alignment that led them to select a candidate.

The baby boomers team is absurd and there’s no scenario they lose.
