The thing about the federal pension though is that it's based on your highest 3 year's salary, so you figure we've made it this long without the portal breaking open, the cost/benefit analysis says take the promotion and retire before it All Happens.

The sheer number of people who would suddenly start showing up to vote if it demonstrably mattered, my god. Texas is purple, if you want it.

Will confer with my Austen-loving, former Moscow-living source on this, because I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Apparently, a lot of the most widely-published translations of the Russian greats are absolute dogshit done in the 1950's by a woman who barely spoke Russian, so that makes sense as a common opinion.

The dialog is dubbed. "Ecks" is just the translation of whatever the galactic character looks like ❌. If they released the movie in ancient Rome they'd call it a "10 wing"

I think Vader does understand what Obiwan is saying, because Vader himself gives the exposition/foreshadowing to the nonbeliever imperial officers that the power to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the Force, i.e. that it can make subtle moves with huge consequences.

That thing where a coworker--who's never used an em dash in their life--sends you something that's grammatically correct, completely wrong on the merits, and filled with em dashes 🤔

I had a neocon college professor once say that because COE attendance was so low and mosque attendance was so high it was effectively a Muslim country. Twenty years ago.

If anyone on the left posted that, we'd have weeks of hectoring about how it's antisemitic to make such explicit comparisons of Israel and literal Nazi Germany

Then we'll have to devise an elaborate mess of a system of means-tested subsidies. EBT cards for certain acts. Vouchers for others. Project-based low-cost street corners directly funded by the local pimping authority. Different income thresholds for all of it.

It's such a great line because, at first blush, it seems like Klingons being Klingons, disagreeable for its own sake, but in reality Kruge is 100% strategically correct. Your adversary makes some inscrutable request? It's a trap. Denied. And for Dems: stop "getting to yes" by giving everything away

I watch a bunch of youtube but consciously limit myself to niche hobbies instead of political content, even when it's mostly feeding me stuff I probably agree with. The audio/video/photo gear review people are explicitly selling me crap I don't need, but I know the deal.
