McConnell: Democrats would end the filibuster if they sweep on Election Day "I don’t think they’re kidding. I think they’ll do it"
  • Sidecar was an autocorrect. It’s fixed now.

    Physical fitness is already an issue. That’s why we have 90 year old senators out of touch with their constituents.

    The reason the filibuster is important is because it prevents 51% of the country from deciding for 100% of the people. In order to steamroll something through there must be a supermajority. The old school filibuster works because if 1 party truly wants to stop something they must fight for it. Not send an email and the bill gets immediately killed. If a senator can not physically stand for a few hours they don’t need to be there.

    Again I understand your point about being ableist however the key point when dealing with accommodations is that the person must be able to perform the job when given a REASONABLE accommodation. Fucking the entire country because 1 senator can’t walk makes no sense and imo is not reasonable.

  • McConnell: Democrats would end the filibuster if they sweep on Election Day "I don’t think they’re kidding. I think they’ll do it"
  • Interesting point but name 1 senator with a disability that prevents them from doing an old school filibuster. And they are American citizens subject to laws like the rest of us. If they need an accommodation they can apply for one through the ADA

  • Teach the children.
  • Unfortunately the buy in to start pirating is more expensive these days. You need a decent computer, decent internet, gotta pay for a vpn because the free ones don’t really work. It’s almost not worth the trouble.

  • Anon plays Persona 5
  • I refuse to play games that I can’t quit within 2 minutes of starting it. Persona series is one of those that I refuse to play. My time is way to valuable to commit an hour or more to 1 activity.

  • Nintendo Patent Approved in August Could Be What It Uses Against Palworld
  • They’ve lost much of their innovation over the years. They have forgotten one of the core concepts of marketing to kids and that’s that the parents have to approve of the product. Many parents these days are Nintendo fans so we can smell bullshit when we see it.

  • Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it?
  • More and more I am tempted to buy one of those 36,000 lumen flashlights and shine it at people who refuse to remove their high beams. You can tell when it’s just a tall truck and some asshole with high beams.

  • Study: Increasing minimum wage does not reduce jobs
  • The root cause isn’t minimum wage. While that can be important it does affect a lot of small business. With that said the root cause is corporations using profits to line their pockets instead of helping the economy by paying their employees.

    We need to stop skirting around the issue that is corporate America. we need to tax the fuck out of corporate profits BEFORE they hide it all in investments or stock buybacks.
