Then they yeeted her Irish ass back into the surf.

I mean shit, even I have occasional trouble understating Irish people, and we speak the same language!

Yeah... that's just another strawman, dude. Come on.

Ahh, that's a strawman. The person you are replying to never made that argument, you created that argument in your head because it was easier to defeat with this piece of information.

Damn, you think that's a dunk? At 98% lifetime with 100% current, you think you might be splitting hairs a bit to make that sound bad?

Agreed! I'm saying it doesn't make sense from Musk's entire platform of defunding. Even recreating the incredibly exploitive, pre-anti psychotic and anti-depressents, system of the 1950's and before would be incredibly expensive.

Isn't this just the exact opposite of the de-institutionization that happened during Kennedy back in the 1960's? Which Reagan then ruined in the 1980's by defunding the programs that supported the people who would previously be housed in a mental institution that were put forth by Carter?

Feels like it's just admitting Reagan fucked up. But trying to fix it by spending government money on rebuilding the mental institution system. Doesn't make any sense.

I don't even think anyone thought that hard about it. Immigration scary, waves of immigrants coming into the country type rhetoric was enough. It's not even about taking jobs, these people don't engage with the fact that exploitation of mostly illegal immigrants is why they have available fruits and vegetables at all. Our entire food system is built on making immigrants do difficult, dangerous, and degrading work.

These people are worried about their taxes having to pay for illegals when they themselves are struggling. It's wild shit!

I think Palestine was a demotivating factor for a lot of people, Michigan was still a pretty incredible outlier, but Trump picked up Muslim and Arab American voters across the board. A deciding factor? No, but a factor.

Now immigration... I've talked to people who've voted democratic by rote for their entire lives who voted for Trump over immigration. It was an extremely effective talking point that was ignored by Dems early on, then ceded to Republicans.

Preach. If everyone who wrote about the end of democracy actually believed what they were saying, this wouldn't be getting downvoted. If anyone who wrote articles like this actually believed it, these would be calls to action, not liberal hand wringing.

If people actually do believe this, and in response sit there doing nothing, they are cowards. Plain and simple. If you think this is the end of democracy, what are gonna do... vote democracy back? Ya'll don't, you know how I know ya'll don't? You aren't doing anything about it, and you won't.

Like fuck off with this ridiculous, inflammatory shit. It already lost the election and both houses, maybe focus on figuring out how to win a fucking election once everyone realizes these idiots can't actually govern in 2 years, again!

Pure coco is a really hard medium for first time growers, you are feeding hydro style for all intents and purposes. You need to measure the water run-off of the plant, the water coming out after you water. You are also aiming to rinse the last feeding out of the coco with the new feeding to prevent salt build up.

You are locking out the plants somehow (no nutrient uptake, limited water uptake, plant is running off the energy stored in the fan leaves), it will be almost impossible to figure out what is specifically wrong at this point because everything is wrong in lockout.

Check this guide, and if you keep going, this method works very well.

Gum is tricky, if it's cause you are clenching the gum is gonna make it worse. You'll just be using your jaw more, creating the tension that makes those headaches.

I would seriously do body checks while you are working. Every little bit when you catch yourself coming out of a tight focus. Are you carrying a lot of tightness in your shoulders? Are you clenching? Take a few seconds to shake out and relax. I would come out of a session of deep work tight as a drum.

I had the same problem with Adderall, I found the non stimulant medications to work a lot better for me.

A spear phishing style marketing tactic that worked, spearheaded by 150 million of revenue from a desperate billionaire.

These people who voted the top of the ticket only were Joe Rogan listeners, and people who were duped by the million dollar giveaways. IMO, this is evidence of success, not evidence of foul play.

But honestly, if people are willing to check, I'm willing to let them. I'm just not gonna cry over this spilled mil... country.

You are genuinely welcome!

This is a very comforting thought, that what you saw with your eyes, what was ratified by congress, didn't happen that way. People are smarter than that, right! It seems so insane that it did.

You can now spend the next 4 years of this waking nightmare chasing down news about this conspiracy, and i think that seems very comforting. I might even adopt it at some point if it gets compelling enough.

Okay Q!

Enjoy chasing this down to disassociate with what's going on in the country for the next 4 years. Looks comfy, like really comfy.

I may slip on a pair of [conspiracy theory] myself at some point!

I read comics like this and am comforted that so many other people need to be medicated for anxiety. Makes me feel more normal.

He closed that strike down in like December of 2022, the East Palestine train derailment happened on February 2023, exactly what the rail workers were warning about.

East Palestine was arguably in Biden's hands. Maybe the regular people forgot, but a lot of union workers didn't.

Hillary Clinton would go on to immediately hire DWS to her campaign. If you look where DWS now is, it wasn't a problem with the party to be caught in this way, it was a plus!
