Depression doesn’t go away on a dime even if circumstances and the environment improves. It created neural pathways that tend to stick around.

I wish I were someone who could derive enjoyment from meaningless things, but am not wired that way. Sounds like it’d be a blast.

Oh well, considering he’s the only stupid person in the picture I think it’s safe to ignore this, as we should everything else he says or does. Big fucking baby.

The problem is a system that rewrites past actions as “that never happened, and if it did, it doesn’t mean anything”. The narcissist’s prayer is written into how the law works.

This reminds me of the Rick Santorum Salad era.

I’m not opposed to seeing metaphorical Dem heads roll if they don’t deliver at this point. Whoever thinks their side has to be protected at all costs is in the wrong anyway, doesn’t matter who. Focus on making one party workable first, excise the cancer from your own ranks… no point in trying to impeach if those two chucklefucks work against it.

If you die while making food in a slow cooker, you are the food in the slow cooker.

Yep, this is why it’s possible to “reason” ourselves into any position over time, we just have to feel a certain way for long enough for rational justifications to seem plausible.

(Makes it damn hard to derive meaning from anything after a while)

So what are the ways to boot him and Jeffries out now? Not in 6 months, that’ll be too late.

Can everyone just ignore those 2 and follow better de facto senate leaders without the title?

What is it with these outdated structures being set in stone and being so fucking easy to abuse.

Yep, the people who support/supported him are still around. The work is never done.

Maybe it’s time to float rewriting the pardon powers so there’s checks and balances that can’t be abused, because you know if one did it more will do the same otherwise. Invalidate his pardon power, invalidate his pardons, crimes committed by those in office should not be pardonable, etc.

I think they meant the top part–“not wanting to ruin someone’s life” should apply to non-harmful acts, but in some people’s minds rape isn’t “as” harmful as having your life ruined or something…

What exactly happens with people who torrent?

I’m enjoying the pace of his continued updates because I get to forget SDV for long enough that playing it again with new contents feels just new enough to be both familiar and interesting at the same time. CA is such a treasure!

This has the same ring as “don’t talk about drugs or sex, and especially don’t educate kids about them, it’ll give people ideas”. No, people will get ideas regardless. What this firm did is try to educate people about a problem.

Put it on the ballots at the local (city, county) level. Measures don’t begin with elected officials, they begin by figuring out the prerequisites to put measures on ballots: in some places you need petitions with enough signatures by common people for a measure to be considered, the prereqs vary per locality.

If you’re already saying you think you’d have to teach him everything, you have your answer… It’s OK to not want to take on more than you have energy for. Pass.

Fucking monster.

Everyone getting paid for 3 days only is what he means

I wonder if pages have to be generated individually to appear legit to the crawlers, or if the same contents can be served as different links over and over… if I knew more about how this stuff works I’d try it myself hah.
