How convenient for his Nazi friend who sells cars made in the US.

Due to budget cuts, “Get into Magic so you won’t have money for drugs.” has now become “Don’t worry about it, you won’t have money for drugs anyways. Or for housing, for that matter.”

I have a lot of experience with ignoring my problems.

Maybe Trump’s plan to get Mexico to pay for the wall is to make America so shitty that they want a wall to keep Americans out. XD

Trade names with the Gulf and become the United States of Mexico.

How is your early access category so small?

I voted for democrats, because I know better, but it’s a fact that there are a lot of people who don’t pay as much attention to politics as I do. Ultimately, most of the people who voted for Trump are not perpetrators, they are victims. Of course I wish they were less ignorant, but I also don’t personally blame them, because I’m not into victim-blaming. The blame should be assigned to the perpetrators, the rich and powerful. Democrat leadership very much included.

I don’t think this is true. A lot of the people who voted for Trump in the election are simply disillusioned with the status quo, and rightly so. They don’t know enough to know which changes would help, but when only one side promised change, they went with that side.

Trump’s victory was assured not by an overwhelming amount of fascist voters, but by an overwhelming amount of unhappy voters combined with Democrats’ utter failure to challenge the system that made them unhappy.

Fair. It’s definitely got a lot of other bad things going on as well.

I said “I don’t think it’s good for Russia to be able to keep doing what they’re doing”

I don’t know how you could interpret that as simping for the Russian invasion.

I’m just not going along with the “This helps Russia therefore it is totally bad” knee-jerk. A tool that helps bad people could also help good people. And it probably does, because US sanctions are definitely on the wrong side a lot of the time (although I think they are on the right side regarding Russia’s invasion).

I’m sort of torn on whether it’s a good thing that this is possible.

Like, I don’t think it’s good for Russia to be able to keep doing what they’re doing, but US sanctions are also often used for evil (IMO) so in those cases the existence of methods to evade them could be good.

It’d be nice if the sanctions were only used in good ways in the first place, but that’s not currently the reality.

There were a lot of episodes like that in Doctor Who. Basically every season from when I was watching, if I recall correctly. The weeping angels first appeared in one of those, and then because that episode was so popular they shoved them into a bunch of big budget ones after that.

It’s hard to tell which of my memory issues are from ADHD and which are from other neurodivergences.

One of my friends had this take on it:

Die Hard can’t be a Christmas movie because Die Hard is actually good.

I’m autistic as well, although I was not diagnosed with it as a kid (they only diagnosed me with a “learning disability” rather than the complicated soup of neurodivergences I have).

I’ve been lucky to not have to mask much in my life (although I do some, for sure). It’s a tragedy that most autistic kids are treated worse than I was. I think they all deserve better.

I’m all in favor of shitting on UHC, but ABA for autism is rather problematic, so they’re actually on the same page as the autism community on this one.

EDIT: For those unfamiliar with it, it’s basically the autism equivalent of gay conversion therapy, trying to convert autistic children to neurotypical behavior. It’s not good for the autistic person’s own mental health.

Easy. High taxes on the rich and spend that money to give good universal social programs, and also avert climate catastrophe. The tiny fraction of rich people will disapprove but screw them anyways.

The hard part is getting the political will to do the obvious right thing when politics is controlled by the rich.

NZXT Flex customers have never experienced a pre-tax subscription price increase and will never experience one unless they decide to switch subscription tiers.

I think they’re forgetting the part where GN themselves were a NZXT flex customer who experienced subscription price increases. So this statement is already proven to be false before they even said it.

I think the major issue with that idea is that the pain of a government shutdown is not equally felt by Republicans and Democrats. Republicans actively want to disrupt or destroy a lot of the government functions anyways, so they don’t really care when all of those things are temporarily shut down. If anything, it gives them what they want.

His surname was Balashnikov before it was changed to Galil to sound more Hebrew.
