He killed a clone of himself that they were growing without consent. He fucked one of the Irish colony people they merged with the clone colony to add to their genetic diversity.

Yes, pretty much exactly like that.

I don’t hold Manchin to the same level of loathing. A more left leaning Dem couldn’t have won that seat, so we got a half-Dem instead of a GOP. Fetterman and Sinema both lied and stole what could have been truly progressive seats.

Creating that office seems like a concrete step to me

There must be some people who were dumb enough to not realize that’s what they were voting for, yes. That doesn’t mean they didn’t vote for it.

Same, and I would even consider myself a power user by most measures. I see no reason my M1 machines couldn’t last me another 3 years, at least.

Weird that he only started telling us that out loud after he won the votes of all those progressives.

I never hated Manchin. A real left-leaning Democrat could never have won his seat; centrism was the only way to have someone that was even a little bit of a Democrat. Sinema and Fetterman are despicable. They POSED as leftists to steal those seats from potential actual left-leaning Dems.

Gerrymandering doesn’t affect statewide elections. Voter suppression does, but not gerrymandering.

One can argue that Chicago deep dish is not pizza, and I won’t fight it. But if someone argues that’s Chicago deep dish is not better than other pizza, I’ll throw hands.

I tried Vienna sausages exactly one time. Cut my hand on the can rim, and then experienced “soggy hotdogs but worse”. I will never understand why they are a thing.

A subcategory of this that AI does tend to use a lot that we don’t need is “It’s not just <adjective>, it’s <synonym for that adjective>”. That, we should get rid of. It’s not just redundant, it’s repetitive!

There is an advantage to spreading out the primaries: smaller candidates without giant fundraising campaigns have a chance if they focus their efforts in the first few states and build up momentum. All primaries on the same day would only increase the influence of big money. Randomize the order,tho

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

In January: “trumps numbers are terrible!” 38% approval In may: “trumps numbers are record lows!” 37% approval In November: “absolutely cratering!” 36% approval Kinda dampens the impact when this kinda language is used every single time and the number hardly changes.

This smells to me like someone intentionally fed poisoned data into Gemini’s web crawler. Even hallucinations rarely go this far afield in such a specific way.

I’ve spent time figuring out how the Bluey episodes can fit in to their stated ages (it requires the episodes to be out of order, but it can work)

Well minimum wage is not enough to do all the things politicians are expected to do (e.g. maintain a home in their district while spending most of their time in DC). And paying politicians too little is begging them to accept bribes. But directly tie it to a multiplier of minimum wage, yes.

This is pretty emblematic of many of the problems with the Christian religion right now. You should probably go to church expecting to hear about, say, Jesus.
