I’m all for mass transit, but there are some jobs that require cars. My partner does home health, for example. She often has to take a lot of bulky durable medical equipment (DME) to a person’s home. Even if mass transit existed in all of her territory, transporting DME on it would be prohibative, especially when there are often multiple people that need different pieces of equipment.
It can’t anymore. Project 2025 will happen, and the guardrails have been removed. Welcome to totalitarianism
Ballotopedia has past years, but I haven’t seen any info for this year yet.
I’ve heard rumors of low turnout, but I suspect it is around 60% based on previous years.
Edit: WaPo says 65% this year. Can’t find anyone else reporting on it.
I don’t understand how 51% of Americans can think the “grab-her-by-the-pussy” con artist is the best choice for president.
They don’t, but due to a combination of voter disenfranchisement and apathy, voter turnout is usually around 50%-60% max. 2020 was a very large turnout at 66.8%. So 51% of 60% think he is. Still too many, but if we had a way to get every eligible voter a ballot, it would likely be different
That might be part of it. The shooting doesn’t do it for me, and the movement feels bad unless you nail it.
I’ll for sure have to see how it plays out in match. Part of it is I also am not a fan of MOBAs, and Deadlock seems to pull a lot from them. We were also looking for a game that my partner could play kinda like Overwatch, bit I think she’ll bounce pretty hard off Deadlock.
Finally got an invite to Deadlock. After watching a let’s play and messing around with different heroes in the Hero Sandbox, I think there is just too much. I know it is a MOBA shooter combo, but between the movement mechanics, skills, and item shop, it just kinda seems they added stuff just because other titles in either genre have them. I might still give it a few matches, but it definitely dropped in priority.
Been playing through Raft again with my partner, and that’s been a blast. I love a survival crafter, and realized she had not played since the full release. Kinda a cozy survival game if that is even a thing. The only downside isn’t it has been moving our normal sleep schedule later, and we need to move it earlier 
Sadly, no ranked choice here, so Kamala Harris on my official ballot. If I had ranked choice it would be:
Claudia de la Cruz
Cornell West
Kamala Harris
Sure, and there are plenty things to make fun of him for that don’t hurt other people. For example being a fucking creep or being a constant loser.
Ah yes, I am coddling Trump by saying this type of insult does nothing to him and only causes splash damage to others. Don’t mind all the things that you can validly criticize him for, like being a wannnabe nazi dictator, project 2025, his xenophobia, racism, or transphobia. Make fun of him for that stuff, not something that perpetuates shitty behavior
Toxic masculinity is bad when targetted at
non-men, or non-masc-conforming menanyone.
FTFY
Who said I am bent out of shape? I am a bit annoyed, and pretty disappointed, but not angry. And yeah, you might succeed at making someone mad by making fun of their penis, but that isn’t productive, and does not make them rethink their own toxicity. All it does is tell them that this particular type of joke is OK since both sides are using it. So it can’t do any good, but can do harm.
AFAIK it’ll send a notification, but I would be incredibly surprised if Trump looked at any notifications from small accounts. But, even in the off chance he does see, I highly doubt he would think anything about it. He is not someone to listen to anyone
Ah yes, the invasion of Germany is the same as a small dick joke.
The issue is not that they are punching at trump, the issue is that punch hits other people that are not trump, and trump will give zero shits about it.
OK, so let’s say Trump sees this. How do you think it will effect him? Do you think he’ll be like “Oh shit, someone made fun of my penis, better stop being a Nazi.” It’s pointless and does nothing to even make him feel bad. You think Trump cares what anyone besides himself thinks? All you have accomplished is perpetuating toxic masculinity as a valid form of criticism.
Toxicity does nothing to them though. It only normalizes their behavior.
Oh you sure got him. I bet he’ll see it with your 11 followers. Be at the top of his feed in no time.
Except it doesn’t work. Name once where someone was like “oh someone did the same shitty thing I did, better change my tune.” All it does is reinforce their behavior as normal and acceptable
For real. It does not bother him because Trump will never see this. All it does is reinforce shitty toxic bullshit.
Ah, got it. Could also be my migraine making me not fully get things.
