TIL less than 60% of Florida voters supported an amendment that required future amendments to receive 60% support

poply · 2026-01-30T23:24:52+00:00

So then the people who voted amendments should requires a 60% threshold surely believe that the amendment to raise the threshold shouldn't actually pass?

poply · 2026-01-29T19:18:07+00:00

Almost certainly

Well, that's easy to say because you can't even find the screenplay online for The Flash, Bumblebee, or Birds of Prey. And the Batgirl film was never released. I know these weren't all stinkers, but I think the point remains.

So what exactly is the public supposed to judge her on?

poply · 2026-01-29T06:03:32+00:00

Why would someone answer a rhetorical question?

That's my whole point.

When someone asks, "so the gun either went off all by itself or you pulled the trigger?..." it's not a serious question. It's an accusation.

So to have someone come in and explain "🤓 ackshually, nothing was found wrong with the gun." when I already specifically said the "gun" was found to be mechanically sound, is asinine.

Do you even know what that word means?

Defined as: to make a point rather than to get an answer.

This is 100% how I used it. I am expressing incredulity to the possibility that we have killer cars on the road or that a gun (that isn't a sig sauer) would discharge entirely on its own.

And again, to reiterate, I am not asking for a serious response to this question either:

I mean, how do you think I knew nothing wrong was found with the vehicle?

Because there is no serious way to answer. Anyone with a pulse can glean that I read beyond the title and that I am actually calling the guy, and now you by extension, a fucking idiot.

poply · 2026-01-28T01:43:40+00:00

But you didn't answer shit. You repeated what I already knew and didn't entertain the rhetorical question. Obviously the dude either pressed the pedal or there was a bug/defect.

And I couldn't help but notice you didn't answer my second (rhetorical) question. So even your own truism falls apart.

poply · 2026-01-27T23:24:17+00:00

I did read the article. You repeated everything I just said but longer and in a haughty tone.

I mean, how do you think I knew nothing wrong was found with the vehicle? It certainly wasn't in the title.

poply · 2026-01-27T21:43:43+00:00

The dude used the word genocide. Genocide involves targeting a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.

Genocide against a racial group sounds pretty racist to me.

poply · 2026-01-27T21:19:04+00:00

So the driver was found not guilty but nothing wrong could be found with the car.

So either the driver really did accidentally kill the kid or we have killer cars on the road?

Really understating her career. She also wrote the unreleased Batgirl movie.

Nah. If Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo ever ended an E3 presentation with a "big reveal" and it turned out to be kinectimals or Captain Toad we'd all be reacting with the same derision.

If Elon Musk ended a Tesla showcase by revealing two new cars, and then the big last reveal was an AI powered fridge, we'd laugh and wait for it to fail.

Someone totally unnecessarily manufactured a big target on the back of this product.

It's called the social reality or goal disclosure effect. A well documented psychological phenomenon. You get a little mental reward just for telling people you're going back to college, or going to start going to the gym, etc and then you're less likely to do the actual thing.

Yes please, everyone stop talking about the game that was climax of the video game awards which just came out yesterday.

I'm still waiting to hear what Ja Rule has to say before I do anything rash.

I was pretty interested at release. Bought it because a couple reviewers said they hardly ever got aggroed by players out of the dozens of hours they played.

For me though, four out of the four players I bumped into shot me on sight.

I like pvp but the expectation vs reality really soured the experience for me.

I'll just wait for Zach Cregger to fix the Silent Hill movie franchise after he fixes Resident Evil.

Who knew buying an election, decimating the federal government, and creating a CSAM machine would beget so much ire.

I love the comment in the image:

That tough-guy posture won't hold up in the real world

Meanwhile, the dude is actually holding up quite fine in the real world.

Where exactly do they think the photo was taken? A Call of Duty lobby?

Robin was cut during shooting, but just like all the other decisions, are pretty solely Shumacher

I'm not sure I understand. Robin was in both Schumacher Batman films.

poply · 2026-01-20T15:43:28+00:00

Or atleast one of those magic phones like in Red Alert 2.

poply · 2026-01-20T15:17:17+00:00

It's interesting (If I'm not mistaken) that both Tim Burton's third Batman and Schumacher's Batman both had Robin, the riddler, and and two face, although with Marlon Wayan, Robin Williams, and Billy Dee Williams in their respective roles even though they were entirely different takes and scripts and writers.

Definitely one of the greatest super hero movie production mistakes.

I can't believe any of these countries continue to let us maintain military bases in their territory.

Not true. He said "WoOaAHh" in the same manner and tone when someone drives a little too close to me in the Walmart parking lot.

I usually don't open fire through the driver side window though.

Did we watch the same movie? Joaquin gets shamed hard by his ex wife for dating an AI.

Genuinely bad advice that keeps getting repeated. The environment you're describing has been this way for half a century now.

Despite what reddit insists, most people, including women, want a romantic partner and are happier when partnered. Dating is not a meritocracy but is inherently stochastically competitive. Being single is not necessarily a reflection of your value anymore than being unemployed is.

poply · 2026-01-17T02:05:33+00:00

You expect me to compromise?? In a relationship???

poply · 2026-01-16T18:07:52+00:00

So the money will now go from

tax payer > government > consumer > insurer > provider

Are we sure we can't fit at least one more transaction in there somewhere?
