☠️ My dad can’t drink anymore and I already don’t remember our last beer together.

So… a status-dominance game.

I was living with roommates, one of whom was absolutely terrible about doing her own dishes. But I still don’t get what your overall point is?

22 years ago, why?

So you don’t think the Black Panthers invited violence, or the protesters at Blair Mountain invited violence - they were responding to the state’s invitation?

The need for an invitation. It’s going to escalate from here no matter what.

It remains less than a generation away, if we can win it.

Robot vacuums are like “robot” dishwashers. They’re helpful, but a huge percentage of the physical work remains.

I want a robot dishwasher that collects dirty dishes around the apartment, loads them, runs the cycle, puts away the clean dishes, and re-runs the still dirty dishes.

I want a robot maid that picks up all the stuff on the floor, puts it away, vacuums the floor without getting stuck on a chair, cleans the tops of throw rugs without moving them, empties its contents into the trash, and cleans the hair off its own axles.

I’d be afraid of what happens when the government inevitably leaks the list of TSA ICE agents. It could pop up in every Google search for your name for the rest of your life. Or there could be vigilantes.

I thought they couldn’t take the sky from me!

I’m addressing the part with which I disagree. The violence is here whether we literally fight back or not.

When you take up violent means, you invite violent means.

They’re already shooting us, armed and unarmed alike.

Sorry, the only species we’ll conserve are bloodsucking insects and jellyfish.

Obvious solution: Yale University.

No offense, but were you an adult by 2000? The popular vote wasn’t done counting until after the Supreme Court ruled in Bush’s favor. Had there been no spoiler effect, it wouldn’t have been close, and the Supreme Court wouldn’t have ruled on it.

FPTP doesn’t work well at all for presidential elections. FPTP is infamously why George W. Bush became president. It’s why we have a “two” party duopoly who want to keep it that way.

No objection to proportional representation, but that’s a little further out than “can we vote for people who are actually good”. It’s a much tougher sell.

Same with the electoral college - sure it sucks, but that’s not why otherwise good people vote for genocide.

Obviously, the only way to end FPTP while working within the system is to vote for people who are against FPTP.

If they don’t oppose FPTP, then they are fine with Republicans and are playing you for a fool. Yes they know, everyone has known since the 2000 election.

Can you write a blank report to check if they’re doing this, and then edit it if they’re not?
