That poor cat is gonna have to hitchhike so far just to get to your front door now!

The fermata means you need to give head for a longer time than normal.

I would also consider the evolutionary advantage of having pets. Dogs help hunt and herd and cats help with farm pests that could spread disease. It just makes sense that societies that accepted that help and encouraged the symbiotic relationship would fare better than those that didn’t.

Also I hope the news is right: racoons are next on the list. We need to pet the racoons. It’s a matter of national security.

I’d say they’re fine, but if you have some yellow dye it could give a more orange color that I associate with cigs.

Unless you expect yellow lighting then you are genius.

Which is why it’s so important that we turn out and vote in the midterms. So many Americans don’t vote in the midterms because it’s not for the presidential race.

Anyway if you can vote in the next midterms, show TF up and we could actually get the votes to oust this monster.

I used to have political arguments with my dad all the time, but like in a fun debate team way. It really was a fun part of our relationship until 2020… and then shit got real when I moved to a big city and the fun was gone.

When I moved home for a year, the first few months were rough. Lots of anger, lots of pain, but eventually I came to realize nothing I could say would do anything- to my family I was just woke end of story. So I stopped talking politics at all with them, and started talking about music, or yard work, or how we like our coffee. Honestly that opened things up later on to have more honest conversations that were more level headed. Frankly I got him to agree with DEI as a concept so long as I avoided buzzwords or call it DEI by name.

My dad is still the same guy- still funny, he’s still bright, he’s still kind and would absolutely help a child on the side of the road, he just listened to too much patriot radio. I still call him, but we had to realize our relationship and who we are to each other comes first. Politics might change but he’s always my dad and I’m always his son. Besides, when I came out as bi at 16 he was the only one who told me he loved me so that’s gotta mean something. He’s still in there.

Kamala lost because she was running on a Campaign of Joy™️

The only way to win a campaign is to garner more rage than your opponent. Nixon’s campaign manager put it well- “The secret to politics is to know who hates who”. That’s how they flipped the then deep blue south into a Republican stronghold for 60 years.

Frankly I think this is why we are doomed to civil war, candidates that try to calm things down will always lose to candidates who fan the flames.

I mean unless you spend thousands of dollars on targeted ads in 2016 but that’s totally different.

Also accepting imperfect allies is huge.

I feel like this is where the debate gets lost in the fog-

Access to abortion isn’t about killing babies. It isn’t about population control. It isn’t about avoiding a christian based moral accountability for having unprotected sex.

It’s about consent and an individuals ownership over their body.

The opposite of a government controlling what a anyone can and cannot do with their body is letting the people have full control to what happens to their body.

In this case both the no abortions and forced abortions camps are on the same side. They are about control.

Hot take (?):

It’s fantastic that there is a branch of MAGA who hates the corporate Internet as much as we do.

Brits should never lecture someone on having a sane measurement system when even Americans are more consistent.

Like say what you want but a pound is a pound whether it’s at the grocery store or on my bathroom scale.

Oh video games and weed are great don’t get me wrong, I mean it is the epitome of comfort, but fighting fascism isn’t very comfortable.

I would put emphasis on the anti part though- if you are just sitting at home smoking weed and playing videogames when you need to vote or be in the streets, you are not resisting fascism.

Just because you didn’t vote for Trump doesn’t mean your Antifa. You could be just Enablefa, nihilfa, or survived getting kicked in the head by a horse.

Fair point. My girlfriend is Irish and compared them to the black and tans.

I feel like if someone dressed up as ice and joined in a raid only to cause internal chaos could deeply hinder the operations of ICE as they all become suspicious of each other and lose trust in their team.

It’s like when Jordan Klepper was interviewing Trump supporters. There was one interview where he was talking to a woman who insisted Trump was innocent of intimidating witnesses, and when he pulled solid logic to show he was guilty, she responded “I don’t care”.
