They were trying to get me to vote for this Dem running for a state seat, guy’s a chief of staff for some local establishment democrat, usual machine operation. I explain I’m sick of the democrats, and the volunteer’s response? “Well candidate such and such is actually much more moderate than people make him out to be.” I wryly pointed out that he just said that to a socialist, and at that point I think he realized he couldn’t do anything to pitch his candidate at that point.

It was the height of the Cold War. Tensions between the Soviet Union and the U.S. wer at the breaking point. Who struck first has been lost to history, but the devastation was quick and horrific. Moscow was leveled by a paratrooped legion of post-op transwomen. UwU readings in New York City reached levels not thought possible. A concentrated trans masculine strike on London left the Thames more testosterone than water. The records of what happened got even murkier when the Chinese launched an unexpected, simultaneous marine invasion of enbys into both the U.S. and Russia.

Which is particularly empty this election cycle as we’ve already had one Trump term where he had the house and the senate and a friendly judiciary. If he didn’t do it then, why would he do it now?

Jerusalem Coffee House in Oakland, California. And it gets better:
“We want to redirect the conversation to the fact that there’s a genocide,” [co-founder] Harara said, adding that he has lost relatives in the recent violence…
Harara said online outrage amounts to “feelings being hurt because things are named things that you don’t like.”
“Media sensationalism around our menu changes seeks to do one thing, and that is to demonize anything remotely Palestinian or anything remotely close to what we would consider Palestinian resistance,” he told The Standard on Wednesday.
Harara said he’s inspired by Oakland’s activist history, such as the work of the Black Panthers, and is committed to pushing for radical change in the community.

Second, that seems like a major design flaw given the possibility of something exactly like this happening. Was it that difficult to disengage whatever the mechanism is when it’s not running?

Sadly, libs think pointing this out will make chuds go “Hmmm I hate trans people and Trump said bad thing about trans people, but he also did nice thing for trans people, guess I’ll vote for the person saying nice things about trans people.”

First off, no that’s just his handle it’s not literally a dog playing Tetris. Rebirth happens at about the 1:21 mark. It’s absolutely insane that the first killscreen happened less than a year ago and back then rebirth seemed like a pipe dream. Not just the endurance and skill, but knowing all the unique, unseen situations he needed to avoid in the higher levels in order to not trigger a killscreen. And some of those levels have a lot of conditions that will trigger one. For those unaware of what this means: because of the way NES Tetris is programmed, eventually the levels will functionally loop back around to level zero again. Hence why the speed suddenly goes from hyper speed to beginner mode.
>Workers had sought a 40 percent wage rise, the restoration of a defined-benefit pension plan axed in 2014, and a stronger guarantee that future production would not be moved out of the Seattle region.
When did that happen?
I saw some dope field caps of the North Vietnamese army, but the only listing I could find was an original that had already sold, and searching for “Vietnam hat” just gets me a bunch of boomer participation trophies.

>Take the World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, a green giant with over $600 million in assets. WWF and McDonald’s are both founding members of the beef roundtable, and later, the two worked together on other beef-related projects. In fact, that inaugural conference in 2010 was officially titled the World Wildlife Fund Global Conference on Sustainable Beef. (WWF has helped to found similar industry roundtables for poultry and soy — most of which is fed to farmed animals — and a certification program for seafood.) >For its collaboration, McDonald’s makes sure WWF is well compensated; from 2015 to 2022, the company donated $4.5 to $9 million to WWF-US. >From 2017 to 2022, WWF-US brought in approximately $12 million to $28.6 million from various meat, dairy, seafood, fast food, restaurant, and grocery companies, including Tyson Foods, Cargill, Burger King, Costco, Walmart, Red Lobster, Chobani, and Dairy Management Inc., a dairy trade group.
