Well then there’s zero consequences in him vetoing something, if it will be instantly overruled. Except Biden doesn’t actually care. Biden shocked Menachim Begin back in the eighties by saying the IDF should feel free to murder Palestinian civilians. He clearly hasn’t become more compassionate to the Palestinian people over time.

AIPAC donated $15 million to a racist “democrat” in New York to unseat Jamaal Bowman. The Democratic Party regularly supports people who are against the stated platform of the party. When they are in power they don’t do shit to improve life for average people because they also only care about the moneyed interests that support them. Now they’re refusing to say anything about Israel prosecuting a genocide, when they could end it in a week. If Biden cut off aid pending a full ceasefire, the IDF would be out of Gaza and the West Bank overnight. But because of reasons, Biden and the democrats won’t do shit, and innocent Palestinians will continue to be tortured and murdered using American made weapons.

I was wondering about that, I saw a botanist’s video about a carnivorous plant nursery and he mentioned plants like VFTs and pitcher plants evolved in high-precipitation areas where the soil has been leached of nutrients.

So monkeys are rectangles and chimps/apes are squares.

I really wish this didn’t need to be clarified every few days. Thanks, zionists and white supremacists!

Dave Chapelle had a whole bit about this before he decided to double (and triple, and quadruple) down on transphobia. He makes the very salient point that these things are delicious.

Melon with something savory is a widely popular choice. See: honeydew with prosciutto/parma ham and cantaloupe/honeydew with tajin (Mexican mix of savory spices.)

Yet another reason to avoid this absolutely unnecessary spectacle.

The “THIS IS A DEEPFAKE VOICE” label really helps human brains tell that it’s a deepfake voice.

Yeah, that’s the wrong word. “Extracted” or “looted” or “stole” are all more appropriate.

Skip the psych exam. Restore the “public servant” aspect.

1. All assets are sold and the cash is placed in a trust that earns 1% interest. When you leave office you get your money back.

2. 24/7 audio and video coverage of your life as long as you are in office. The toilet is not filmed unless someone goes in with you. Other than that, your life is an open book.

3. After you leave office, you can teach classes as long as your compensation is no more than the lowest-paid professor at the school that employs you. You can write books. Or you can enjoy your pension. No corporate jobs or partner positions at fancy law firms.

None, because seeing a four minute unskippable ad halfway through a two minute video would make me go apoplectic.

Depends on a number of factors. A ton of companies have moved to web based tools for a big chunk of their workforce. If those web apps are more or less standards-compliant you could pull it off with minimal retraining.

Bacon sausage eggs hash browns. Easy.

My best read on that phenomenon is that a few people took the discussion from Clerks a little further and started arguing as a joke that the empire were just trying to establish order as. They started r/EmpireDidNothingWrong, where irony-poisoned kids began taking the joke seriously, just like the people who legitimately believe the whole “birds aren’t real” theory.

It’s not saying “do something,” it’s saying “stop supporting the evil empire in real life.”

Considering what I know about Alan Moore I’m 50/50 on thinking this literally happened or is just a useful metaphor.

Counterpoint: I did not watch Divergent.

I want to be a mouse rabble rouser building mouse-scale guillotines.

I like swapping them out but I wouldn’t do it all at once and I’d implement term limits that put them outside of a two-term president’s reach. I like 13 year Supreme Court terms because it’s a prime number and it would keep any one president from naming more than one or two justices.
