I think the idea is the Democratic party should not be platforming “former” Republicans who are only just now coming around to our side after proudly voting for Trump in the last three elections and supporting their racist and fascist agenda. They are, at their very core, the same disingenuous and spiteful people who are leaving a sinking ship.

What people do in the ballot box is their own business, but the best way for Republicans who truly do feel like they were betrayed or deceived by Trump is not for them to apologize and prostrate all day, but for them to take actions that set the course to make things right again. Performatively switching teams and getting championed by the left as being some kind of noble spirit sends the same kind of distasteful message as Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney going up on stage together.

It took me a few read-throughs to get both interpretations, but I feel like the post is mostly in favor of not welcoming Republican defectors, and he wants to debate people who think that’s a good idea (it isn’t).

Crucially, the article seems to leave out who manufactured that robot, and just refers to it as “a robot”.

I assume it’s one of Musk’s, but if that’s not the case it would be nice to know who else in the robotics market is cozying up to the fascist scum.

“Trump is gonna release the Epstein files and hold all of the pedophiles accountable for their actions!”

I don’t know if it’s still the case, but when I was in school for non-exam (i.e. timed) essays, they were split into outlines and drafts, and the drafts were individually graded as a portion of the entire essay grade, so there was a way to gauge the process rather than simply the final submission.

I always found that process frustrating, however, because English was easily my best subject and the teacher would get upset if I turned in a 2nd draft that was identical to the first because I was already basically there. Now that I’m older, I understand the reason for why the teacher structured the lessons in such a way.

I also think that essays in general are a much better metric for measuring true understanding of a topic, at least compared to multiple choice.

I only dislike shorts because there are no player controls. I want to be able to rewind to any point of the video, pause at will, and adjust the volume independent of my phone/computer volume.

That’s why I downloaded the addon to redirect all YouTube shorts to the regular player so it forces all those features to be on.

Asian American and Pacific Islander hate crimes have sadly been on the rise since Covid, although I think in the last few years it’s flattened out a little bit, but Asians are definitely not immune to violent hate crimes anymore.

And then there’s Chess, where I can get thrashed by 8 year olds and 80 year olds alike.

Every social media platform on this side of the clearweb can permaban me, idgaf. I’m fucking CELEBRATING when Trump dies. I think I might buy some fancy liquor and drinking glasses just for the occasion.

“build fast, ship fast”

Ugh… these people are going to be the death of us.

Bruh, were you not paying attention to the name HIDEO KOJIMA appearing on your screen at the start and end of every single mission? He really wanted you to know it was his idea.

I was once a dumb kid. My thought process at the time was that may parents simply wouldn’t notice the transaction on the account because they rarely checked.

Thankfully, I didn’t go through with it, but knowing what I know now, they definitely would have noticed a strange transaction, even for a small dollar amount.

It wasn’t even because I had no money - I was being paid an allowance and could typically afford the things I wanted to buy. I just wanted to buy stuff online and I didn’t have a bank account or debit/credit card to process the transaction.

Are you telling me my virtual real estate is worthless?!

They won’t.
