@sickburnbro @PunishedD @Chzikken_1486 they never expected any states of their Blue Wall to be up for grabs, so they did not consider the need to "fortify" in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Which is why Trump was able to win in 2016.

If I ever see or hear the words "you are voting against your interests", my response is this:

So tell me what my interests are.

The person making the initial assertion will either need to know me very well to accurately assess how I should change my voting patterns to align with my interests or they should admit that they do not actually know my interests.

And if they admit this, then how can they state that I am voting against my interests when they do not have knowledge of them?

@Humpleupagus @Dudebro @Silverwolf ask these same people what they think the minimum wage should be, and ask them what they think the illegal aliens get paid for their work. Chances are that they are holding on to too many contradictory principles that cannot coexist.

Not that they care, as they just want to score points on the "MAGAs." Apparently illegals can live without a "living wage."

@Humpleupagus looks like she decided on plastic surgery rather than aging gracefully. Don't know why these people think going full Bogged is a great idea, you just look like a freak.

@Ghislaine Anyone bringing January 6 being an "attack on our democracy" is either a shill and/or a faggot. Either way, opinion discarded as unimportant.

@lain Apparently a private company cannot do what they want. They only can do what they want when happens to align with the desires of the deep state. And if they go against what the deep state wants, they get lawfared out the ass suddenly.

@Humpleupagus I am not sure if Vance is that great of a choice, but I know Haley is NOT a good choice for VP.

@Humpleupagus @ForbiddenDreamer @deprecated_ii though seriously, being short is not a death sentence when it comes to relationships. It just makes it more difficult to even get past phase 1 of getting a date.

I know it is possible to achieve as I am also married and 5'7". But I make up for it with my Aspergers making it even harder to socialize.

So did you marry a giraffe or what? I am sure someone with more photo editing talent could make an image with this.

@Humpleupagus @cjd Better looking women also have a better chance of attracting men who earn more. And if she has a couple of brain cells to rub together, she will realize that having higher taxes on his earnings will mean less money available for her (assuming the least charitable outlook on a woman marrying such a man).

And bonus points if she is influenced by his (most likely) right wing politics.

@BowsacNoodle @Marakus @Rhodesian_YuKari @Shadowman311 When I used to be on Reddit, I got quite a bit of ire when I stated that the idea of a "deaf culture" was absurd when the topic of their "culture" came up.

I know I should not be surprised, but I was not on an overtly lefty part of Reddit with that thread.

@p @judgedread speaking of sex not guaranteeing children, I recall some talk about how lock downs would lead to a baby boom since people "have nothing else to do." Well no surprise, there was no baby boom, since this is not like the 50s where we have more married couples, no birth control, and less electronic entertainment. The people who unironically thought there would be a baby boom were fools.

@p @judgedread in an age with birth control and abortions, simply having sex is not a guarantee to have children. The problem is that less young people have long term relationships and marriages, which are necessary to have children (raised in a proper home and not with a horrible single mother).

Marriage is a bad deal for men these days. The deal needs to be better to solve the problem.

@DW2 But used and new car sales are slightly lower than they used to be! That means inflation is not so bad!

Why pay attention to costs of things people are paying for on a more frequent basis? That would just Biden look bad!

You know things are bad when state media is admitting that inflation is still bad rather than trying to continue the propaganda effort claiming that our government is beating inflation.

They even admit here that it the everyday expenses such as electricity, rent, and gas prices are higher up. Which is probably why they are in damage control mode rather than "everything is fine, quit believing your lying eyes"' mode.

@caekislove it is already a hard sell for many men to consider dating a single mom. No men prefer that, but some accept it if they have no better options. But her having a mixed race child makes it a far harder sell, as everyone in the world will know that the man is not the father of the child. No man wants to broadcast to the world that he is a cuck, so it is no shock that this becomes a deal breaker.

Though frankly, her being a single mom in general should be the dealbreaker.

I am glad I learned the important lesson of hiding my power level, as recently I was with extended family and the conversation of the rise in cancer in younger people came up. I was tempted to interject that those experimental "vaccines" might have had something to do with it.

But no, that would accomplish nothing. "Better detection methods of finding cancer" was the next part of that conversation, and I am fine leaving it at that. No use in convincing those who would not be receptive.

@Humpleupagus In all seriousness, the reason this would happen is how sensors would detect light differently from darker skin. Darker skin would more likely not reflect as much light as lighter skin. There is not a great way to work around this, as detecting light bouncing off of anything is limited. I had to do some work in something tangeantly similar, so I know full well that this is not something that can be programmatically solved either.

In short, physics is RACIST!

@sickburnbro I get a strong feeling the military industrial complex got far too complacent with all the years of the US being unchallenged by other countries militarily. The people in the military and the defense contractors must have been thinking that they could just coast on being number 1 and milk the government for more money while not caring about delivering results.

Not anymore. We have challengers now. If they do not fix things quick, then the US will not be a "superpower" anymore.

@sickburnbro But given the current trajectory, I don't expect the military to give up their DEI initiatives or the defense contractors to clean house and get serious. This sort of institutional rot cannot be easily reversed, as the rot has been going on for far too long.

Much of the world will heal, and much of Europe will suffer without having the US to be their military. A whole lot of countries might be able to have authentic elections once more.
