First pass I read as Mangione played the CEO in among us and they were in a discord group together, and admitted that that was a very eerie circumstance. But nope, Mangione is just a normal 20 something.

Some of it is 100% misogyny, I think some of it is also that 4 years ago the country was literally on fire in a lot of places and Trump was obviously to blame for a lot of it, so it didn’t matter so much to apathetic voters if Biden’s messaging was weak. Kamala may have won then too, though misogyny would have made it closer. Now the country is much more stable but still not great, but Democrats are in charge and therefore obviously to blame, so people who largely haven’t been affected negatively by the Republicans (e.g. men, especially non-desperately-poor white men), are apathetic again

Not in a lot of states they weren’t

Oh God, I was imagining one of his weird motions that sort of looks like a hand job but isn’t supposed to, but yeah this is super deliberate.

I think she’s using it less as therapy and more as a way to win arguments is the problem

I mean there’s been a lot to help corporations and the rich I don’t agree with but the current administration has also given tons of resources to the IRS to claw back evaded taxes from the wealthy, made moves to bust monopolies and price-fixing practices, and while they aren’t directly responsible there has been a historic expansion of unions not seen in my lifetime

This specific thread is responding to this comment, not the original article:

They should even go further and require to move other passengers if neccessary, so that the families can sit together always, no matter what.

Which is maybe why there’s a big disconnect between you and all the comments you’re replying to

During Obama’s first campaign Bill Clinton came and spoke at a local college (maybe for Hillary? I’m not sure tbh, I was like 12), and I climbed up a statue plinth outside the speech zone to better see. Some guy in a black suit came and told me to get down immediately

I think it applies equally, the fallen victims will be held up and honored no matter what they had done, the shooter will be an evil antifa devil no matter who he was, and Trump will be the barely escaped Messiah no matter if this was a lone wolf attempt or a conspiracy

It’s definitely not a perfect system and you’re absolutely right that it significantly favors people with strong support and safety nets, especially those of a financial nature.

That being said it’s a very easy shorthand for a company to take and is reliable enough to keep using it, just like how financial institutions in the US use SSNs as private identifiers because it’s easier and cheaper than running and supporting their own systems/assessments and mostly works well enough

Depending on what you’re trying to avoid, even 18 year old cars had OnStar gps that could in theory always track you unfortunately

In all three cases, he can do it as long as Congress gives him that power. In this case it’s unlikely Congress will push back on banning Russian software, in the other two the republicans have promised to block any executive effort

I think that’s part of the point? The twitchy zoomers aren’t on?
