That’s probably the perception. Democrats have been in power for 4 years, things didn’t get better for a lot of people and then they say to vote for them for more of the same. Surprisingly that doesn’t help with voter enthusiasm. They’ll have more chance next time with messaging things won’t get worse with them after Trump mishandled stuff.
Simple, good-sounding things they want to hear is what wins elections these days.
Robocop tube begins playing. OCP starts construction of Delta City.
The only winning move is not too buy
Alright, what are the best options for blocking mentions of Trump? Last term there was so much noise from that guy or about him.
Recent events showed it’ll ruin worker’s rights first.
There are plenty other wacko ways people got themselves in the hospital if that’s your kink. The one with the girl that overdosed on gummies because she wanted spicy food was fun.
“But he tells it like it is!” they say.
Then you listen Trump giving s speech and telling 4 outright lies in the first 3 rambling sentences.
USA is a country with a lot of inequality, if not rising inequality, so a fertile breeding ground for populists. And it has an ancient voting system that always gives a two party system so perfect for this kind of polarisation. The system with campaign contributions will also make sure nothing changes about inequality and is making things worse. Yeah, it’ll happen again.
Sounds like the perfect excuse to subject any vehicle coming from a country that deals with Russia (cough China) to some additional time consuming bomb checks. They can’t say it’s tarrifs or unappropriate as there is a legitimate threat made.
Sounds like a good time to rewatch the Tom Scott video about timezones and the descent into madness again
It’s a bit of a shock after years of hearing that this thing will happen in the future, to realize that the future has arrived and it’s within our lifetime. Kinda how you look back and suddenly realize that your favorite movie is now closer to world war 2 than it is to present time, but it still feels like last year.
Engineers: we can’t make transistors smaller because they wouldn’t work because of those quantum effects
Different engineers: but what if we use quantum effects as the basis to make smaller transistors work
A consequence of Ceaușescu’s natalist policy is that large numbers of children ended up living in orphanages, because their parents could not cope with looking after them. The vast majority of children who lived in the state-run orphanages were not actually orphans, like the name implies, but simply children whose parents could not afford or did not want to look after them.
So it often comes back to the economics of the situation. Kids used to make money, helping on the farm and stuff. Now kids cost a lot of money and paying women a substantial amount (and not the pizza party amounts) to have children is deemed economically nonviable.
The weather services did see this coming and were giving red alerts. Local governments were like “nah, it’ll be fine.” It’s straight out the movies with the classic “we don’t want to cause any panic in case the scientists are wrong.” It’s especially damning after the exact same ignoring red alerts already happened in Germany and Belgium.
At this stage, it’s ignoring reality. Yeah, preparing and being ready for this kind of catastrophes is expensive but rebuilding everything isn’t cheaper. It’s why experts already said that in the end it’s cheaper to prevent climate change than dealing with the consequences.
Those that keep shooting dogs whenever they go?
UK, where Stonehenge is located, switched a week ago. USA switches first Sunday of november. Europe switches last Sunday of October. There’s typically one week of confusing meeting hours in between. Some regions in the world don’t switch at all or still on other times. It’s a bit of a mess.
Ok, so use a combo shot with a maser. If the light beam doesn fry the outside, the microwave beam will fry the inside.
It’s football. Attacking civilians because they wave around the wrong flag, or just wearing the wrong color of t-shirt or scarf is reason enough for a beating.
