They have the upper hand now, if MAGA is firmly in control of the government, they can dismantle Blackrock in a month.

That’s what they want you to think. Otherwise, all the tourists would be taking their shits on Tiktok in this “hidden gem”.

So if it happens every two weeks instead of every 3.5 months, that means I don’t have ADHD, right? Right?

The other person is almost upright sitting inside it with space to spare, so for an average human being conservatively being 1.7 m, that means there is around a meter of space inside the thing. Add on the bottom part and the top part, and that’s how I came to the conclusion that it must be 1.5 m.

The other person seems to be both in front of and behind the dishwasher, as she has a larger body than the girl inside the dishwasher, but she is also standing behind it. So I guess perspective is completely off.

That said, it’s a cartoon, so there’s no point in trying to measure things. I just thought that I would not ever be able to sit up inside a dishwasher, not by far. Maybe a kid could?

It’s not just Americans, remember the Brexiteers realizing that due to Brexit, they need a visa for their Spanish holiday, and they have to stand in the “rest of the world” line?

We will see a bunch of “this is not the Brexit I’ve voted for” to come.

Open Society Foundations, Center for American Progress, stuff like that, I guess.

As I see it, they are more active on idpol and immigration than the economy and the issues that were decisive in the US election this time around.

If you look at the proportions compared to the two people, that dishwasher is at least 1.5m high, so the door must be built like a drawbridge.

9/11 is the new Red Scare?

How about Juno New Origins (formerly SimpleRockets?

I think the point is that while you’re right that nobody cares about comparing policies to each other, what decides voter turnout is how much each candidate lives up to the ideal of their own side.

Harris had to be at least as inspiringly progressive as Trump had been inspiringly conservative to drive turnout. Instead, she did the equivalent of Trump declaring that he’s a bit of a socialist.

Yeah, courting far left people like Dick Cheney was the problem. Next time they will just run Ivanka Trump and if you’re against her, you are a misogynist.

Just kidding, they won’t run her until she’s at least 60, everyone knows people who are younger than that can’t politics.

We will have to fight for it though. At this rate we will have to vote down chat control yearly for the next century, and Macron and Scholz are not infinitely better than the US dems either.

At least now, they see that immediate rearmament and asserting ourselves as an economic and geopolitic power is a necessity, even if our industry doesn’t feel like it and never wants to change.

The ACA, which brought US healthcare from an 18th century level to a 19th century one in 2010, was a half measure under Obama, he got reelected for it, he was president for 7 more years after he signed that.

First time voters today were 4 years old when it happened. What else has the Democratic Party been doing? How about the housing crisis? How about inflation? Oh, they got that one 1400 USD stimmy check passed after Trump looted the coffers for corpos big and small.

Look, I’m not saying Harris wasn’t the better, less destructive choice. I’m saying something had had to happen, and people didn’t turn out for a candidate who said the past four years and the way the world is going is good. Not as well as for someone who saw problems and proposed - admittedly monstrous and ineffective - solutions.

Are you drunk? Just because I would understand if you were drunk.

Nobody ever accused voters of being smart. That said, Harris lost a lot of Biden’s 2020 voters, so this is the exact good time to go super critical on her campaign.

Fuck, are we really becoming the last beacon of freedom and liberty?

It’s a lost art, don’t worry.

Yes. The Dems lost this election more than the Reps won it.

And no, it’s not just Harris. It’s the fact they haven’t accomplished anything substantially changing the lives of people for dozens of years, and they fought more against people like Sanders than people like Cheney.

There are devs who work in QA, automated tests absolutely need software developers.

So while not all QA are devs, but some QA absolutely are.

I think he’s heard about this champagne thing but is going to drink a bottle of shampoo.
