Obligatory don’t drink murcury… That said, there are 2 types and one is biologically innert so like… If you WANT to feel dense pools of metal splash down through your guts like… You can. It does nothing beneficial to your body except maybe the chance to dislodge something? Go ahead and ask your doctor, I’m sure he would enjoy the laugh.

But… But… P-party of… Linc–HURL!!

Vance doesn’t have nearly the amount of support or trust he needs. He’s sucked Trumps coat tails for far too long and every failing of this admin is being reflected onto him as much as Mango Mussolini.

Look man, if John killed a giant one-eyed monster and sailed to where the dragons lived, I would happily call an epic journey a Johnenning.

IIRC Odyssey literally translates to “The Tale/Journey of Odysseus.”

Factorio feels way different even if it scratches the same itch. More structured with the grid system and lends itself to clean blueprint layouts for efficiency… Always more efficient… Always…

I have a shitty, glowy, 90’s CRT for that exact effect. Terminator 1 and 2, ET, and a bunch of classics also had that “ball lightning” effect that overexcites the phosphors on the screen.

Titan A.E. my beloved…

Nah, tons of savvy, socially-awkward, successfuly ugly mugs exist. This guy’s just a tool.

He’s still doing a hell of a lot more to atone and, again, not shy away from his past than any neoliberal I’ve seen to date. If we push away everyone without a perfect social rap, we’re going to be so fucking outnumbered when the time comes.

Careful… Big Brother might hear you.

To form an echo chamber, of course.

Edit: they won’t delete the quote of course, which shows the original message without the quote given from the article.

His shame…

We have lost shame in our politics. Anyone who admits to faults, owns up to them, and expresses shame for past transgressions is a good person.

I want more people like him who feel it’s better to publically own up to his shortcommings rather than unabashedly double down like we’ve seen from both the Dems and GOP in the last 25 years.

We cannot continue without remorse. We cannot heal without forgiveness. We cannot save ourselves so divided.

People can change. Don’t be toxic.

Idk if you’ve played Rimworld or Factorio but they scratch the same long-term-planning itch that Zomboid does.

Holy shit… This was Putin’s suggestion wasn’t it? Get Texans to shoot people in Chicago to kickstart the 2nd civil war…

Uhm… Hate to fit your strange definition of fascism, but you absolutely are the dirt, and the oxygen in the atmosphere, and the food you have eaten and are yet to eat.

I recommend you read about Alan Watts’ Organism-Environment theory. It posits that you cannot separate the biosphere an organism lives in from the organism itself. That the entire system as a whole is one unit and that each organism within it is as an organ is to said organism. The air, breath, food, waste, chemical processes, etc. do not exist within a barrier contained by skin. You are more than a meatbag propped up by bones sustained by external fuel.

Now conciousness… That’s another beast, and those who tie individual conscious agents to a national identity or some other arbitrary box do absolutely have ulterior motives. Namely control and oppression.

Edit: After re-reading your argument, I agree. Personal identity is a product of conscious agents, not the physical makeup of our biosphere, thought physical observations of the world do play into personal identity.

Icons are critically important to a culture. The fact that people do have reverence for the institution of the White House is exactly why this imagry strikes a chord with us. It is an important institution and it absolutely reflects the priorities of the current administration (see the Carter-era solar panels).

That said, you hit the nail on the head. Let this administration show their true colors with how they dress up and use the most sacred building in the nation. Never call it anything less than the “Epstein Ballroom.”

MTG is not stupid. She’s manipulative, knows how to sway a crowd, knows how to read the room. She’s incredibly intelligent, just for the other side. Her own self-preservation instict is kicking in and she’s quickly realizing that her rich constituents not only do not care about her success, but that her working-class constituents aren’t taking Trump’s abuse lying down.

Everyone says she’s a rat leaving a sinking ship, and that may be true, but it is the correct play in her position.
