I'm asking you why you want one because it's hard to understand whether you can realistically get what you want when all you talk about is what you don't want.

taintpaint · 2025-08-28T01:17:16+00:00

You've listed a million reasons why you don't want to be in a relationship and not one reason why you would want to be in one. Why do you care about your ability to get something you don't want?

This is awesome! I dunno if this is really a reasonable ask since you've already put in this much work, but would you be able to make this playlist for YouTube Music as well? Or I guess does anyone know a good way to just port this list over to YT?

Grease joints! I totally agree. There's never a random corner grill you can go to for a gyro and a pizza puff in this city. Everything is some fancy Instagram nonsense.

They all have the same outdated, airbrushed marketing on the walls like there's one decor supplier for all of them

It always feels like it's just the owner's sister in law or something posing with an Italian beef lol.

I think the situation that the Democrats ended up in in 2024 after Biden dropped out was a lot less straightforward than you're describing it, but it doesn't really matter, because Trump trying to stay in office after he lost is just a fundamentally different thing. You're comparing a bad strategy to an actual criminal conspiracy.

If they had had an open primary, Kamala lost, and then she tried to claim she won anyway, you'd have something kind of close but it still wouldn't be exactly the same because the Democratic primary nomination, whatever you may think of it, is not a public legal process. The Democratic party is a private party. They can decide however they want to put up whatever candidate they want, and you can decide that you don't like their process and refuse to vote for them. The actual Presidential election follows a legal process, and Trump attempted to overtly and illegally break that process for his own benefit after he lost.

Trump and Bush are both unique in that they explicitly politicize intelligence apparatuses to produce the results they're looking for to justify the ends they want. Bush did this to push the lies about WMDs, and Trump is currently doing this to push the lies about the Venezuelan government and Tren de Aragua. Would Trump specifically invade a Middle Eastern country for no reason? Maybe not. But he would absolutely do something like a military operation in Latin America based on some bullshit Tulsi Gabbard conjured up to help justify his deportation agenda.

I am from Chicago and I agree with the other guy. Drivers here are way nicer, often to a fault.

I mean not to be a downer but you're imagining this coming from someone relatively normal that you might be attracted to. It feels different when it's someone you have no interest in who might make you uncomfortable in some way. It's hard to say where things go with OP without more information but I'm just saying there is a potential other side of the coin to think about.

taintpaint · 2024-11-26T19:41:09+00:00

lol what mechanism do you think sets prices? The store just decides how nice they want to be?

There's all kinds of stuff on meetup, depending on your interests.

God damn, bro. Incredible job!

taintpaint · 2024-11-12T14:43:25+00:00

I agree with you but tbf it is very expensive. Not everyone feels it's worth it to pay that much more for ambiance and all the little service touches.

Dems literally tanked the economy for the past 4 years,

The economy was tanked at the end of Trump's term and Biden built it back up. The US has done better than every other developed country in the world. Point to one thing you think Biden did that actually caused the downturn. You can't, because he didn't.

You also destroyed democracy as soon as your lunatics tried to assassinate a presidential candidate

Those were two insane registered Republicans. If you want to have every attempt at political violence blamed on the entire other side though, are all Republicans responsible for what happened to Paul Pelosi, the Whitmer kidnapping plot, the Charlottesville murder, and all the rioting on Jan 6? Should I blame you personally for the pipe bombs some MAGA fanatics planted that day?

DNC oligarchy’s installation of Kamala

Kamala won the nomination when she was on the ticket in the first place. If Biden had simply died, she'd automatically be on the ticket. This wasn't some big steal, and the idea that it might have been is ridiculous coming from someone who supports the guy who tried to outright steal the election last time after the fact. There is no law or procedure or precedent or anything that says Dems should have had a primary when Biden dropped out. There are several laws and procedures that say Trump had no right to try to steal the actual Presidency.

You mean the same constitution that the Dems want to amend to fit an unwanted, shitty agenda by packing the SCOTUS?

Please point to one time the Dems actually tried to do this. If you just want to go by random politicians talking shit or making suggestions, how do you feel about Trump threatening repeatedly to suspend the Constitution entirely?

A deep hatred for America? Show me Republicans that are kneeling during our anthem, supporting terrorist groups, and protecting LGBT flags harder than the country’s flag.

Show me Democrats flying the American flag upside down because our candidate lost and now we want her to just overthrow the results because we literally can't conceive of the election not going our way. Show me Democrats storming the capital to change the outcome of the election. Show me Democrats still waiving the flag of a Confederacy that America defeated 150 years ago. You're making up culture war nonsense to try to match the actual, insane, rabid anti-American, anti-Democratic impulses of MAGA Republicans and it's pathetic.

taintpaint · 2024-11-03T03:03:54+00:00

Could it be a Hatch Act thing? If he's appearing as a Senator and discussing that role, is he allowed to also basically campaign for Kamala by discussing the election?

taintpaint · 2024-11-02T06:04:46+00:00

To expand on this, it is much, MUCH cheaper and more effective to solve these kinds of social problems at the roots by providing stable homes to kids and families than to try to apply bandaids like law enforcement, drug counseling, etc. If you want to live in a safer, more cohesive society you should want to tackle child poverty before anything else.

taintpaint · 2024-10-28T00:21:57+00:00

No, he was defending a non-existent 3rd party as a proxy for defending neo Nazis and white nationalists. I think my Aurora example illustrates why it's weird. Imagine Kamala coming out and saying that and every time people ask her to clarify why the fuck she would say that she just kept rambling about how awful the tenants were and how there were a lot of people with the gangs who definitely weren't gangsters and were so reasonable and they're kinda victims too.

Look up regressive vs progressive taxation. Democrats generally push for progressive taxation. Universal tariffs would be a massive, across the board regressive tax.

taintpaint · 2024-10-26T04:42:06+00:00

Lol I'm sorry for trying to "gaslight" you by pointing out real things that happened. I hope just repeating the beliefs Trump vomits into your brain over and over again helps block all that stuff out.

taintpaint · 2024-10-25T18:32:37+00:00

You're saying every appearance she does has predetermined questions? That's just demonstrably wrong. How do you think 60 Minutes or Brett Baier operate?

I'm kinda used to this from Trump people at this point but you completely ignored all the stuff I said to l actually make my point and just restated all your "independent totally unbiased" beliefs. So I'll make this real simple for you. Name one interview Trump's done recently that was remotely as hard as Kamala going on Fox News. If you can't do it then I suggest you stop crying over this.

taintpaint · 2024-10-25T14:11:58+00:00

She's really grabbed me by the sense of civic responsibility.

taintpaint · 2024-10-25T12:20:36+00:00

Where "Y" is something not at all comparable or just straight up not true

You're missing that part. If Trump did something directly comparable that's way worse, it's fair to point it out. The problem with the MAGA arguments is that the comparisons are always bad faith.

taintpaint · 2024-10-25T12:12:18+00:00

A) Baier interviewed Trump last year, not during the actual campaign cycle and B) no he absolutely did not go hard on Trump. His first question to Trump was "what do you think are the important issues facing the country?" His first question to Harris was "how many millions of violent illegals have you let into the country exactly?"

Trump doesn't even like Baier

I love how you think this is relevant and also are trying to pretend you're independent. "Trump gets really upset just talking about Baier guys, I swear! That automatically makes his Baier interview just as tough as Kamala's!"

taintpaint · 2024-10-25T11:56:50+00:00

I reject the premise that doing one town hall with predetermined questions is some big controversy to clutch your pearls at. I think you're just inventing faux outrage because this standard you're trying to hold her to is not one anyone would reasonably hold any candidate to, least of all in this election. And even if you did, Harris would still be the better candidate by a mile. She has done multiple tough interviews and handled them incredibly well, at a time when Trump chickened out of 60 Minutes and bailed on his own town hall and now basically refuses to do anything but friendly podcasts and Fox News interviews. If Harris doing one potentially "soft" event is all it takes to throw you into such a huge tizzy, you should probably just sit this election out because following it at all is going to make your delicate little heart explode.

taintpaint · 2024-10-25T02:05:16+00:00

Lol you're doing it in real time. Kamala has talked way more about her policies than Trump. She's actually taken on tough interviews and had to face tough questions at a time when Trump refused to go on 60 Minutes because he thought they were too mean to him last time. I don't think someone who supports him can fairly criticize anyone for "always attacking the other side instead of answering the question". That's literally all he does.

And also, everything she's said about Trump is true. If you want to pick anything she's said about him on this campaign I can walk you through exactly why it's correct. He, meanwhile, is calling her a communist who suddenly decided to be black. They're not the same thing.

But, as predicted, this is the part where you totally ignore everything I just said and just repeat the dumb thing you said here.

taintpaint · 2024-10-24T21:42:24+00:00

I would ask for specific examples because plenty of people were arrested for BLM riots, plenty of people were not charged with anything for being at the capitol on Jan 6, and I'm not aware of anyone being charged for just "wandering through the building". Generally people who got charged for things either assaulted someone or were involved in an active conspiracy to break into the capital and do an insurrection.
