Patriarchy is a mental illness. Pro-democracy, atheist, game developer, believer in experts. I worship my wife and that's enough for me. 💙 Tryna be a warrior for democracy but still searching for the front line.
After the midterms, a lot of people are thinking about impeachment, but I think it could be heart warming to think further ahead than that. After all these war crimes, doesn't it seem like the only way to make up to Iran and the world is to let Trump stand trial in an Iranian court?
I would be interesting (if depressing) to learn how these brain farts form. Did a sycophant send him an email saying they think DC is the safest capital in the world? Then Donnie reads it and rubs his hands together and says, "I'm going to call that a 'stat,' lol they'll love that, the rubes."
We've been watching how he works now for years, always utterly clueless about the facts on the ground, and just making up whatever he thinks the person he's talking to wants to hear. Imagine how that played out when he was trying to run a real business, and then all of his bankruptcies make sense.
I think the best comparison is to transition from a coder to a manager of coders. Do lead programmers' skills rot? Sometimes, yes. It depends on how involved they are in the details of the code. But a team can absolutely get more done in the short term than a single programmer by themselves.
We all know that all those suckers and losers that call themselves generals and captains are never going to be able to protect the Strait. The only way for Trump to save us is for him to personally pilot the craft and blow those (insert ethnic slur here) out of the water!
It's an interesting point that some MAGA folk are probably afraid to repent. My first thought was, what are they afraid of? But then I realized, a large number of them are probably trapped in abusive relationships, and there would be a lot of violence if all of them suddenly spoke out one day.
Someone prolly made one with AI already.
Mr. President, is there anything in particular that Massie has done that upset you? Oh, you don't want to say, eh? Let me ask more plainly, then, are you mad about Massie not letting go of the Epstein thing? Since you're innocent why don't you just release the unredacted files?
"Court access is a civil rights issue" is the new hotness.
Wouldn't it be convenient if the left could just make up problems to solve?
"No more free nuclear bombs for homeless people!"
"End the state sponsored oppression of gingers NOW!"
"Stop the sale of computers that turn into farm animals!"
"We must stop minting coins out of peanut butter!"
I guess the English Channel is not quite a strait for some obscure technical reason that cartographers with no friends care about, but otherwise it ought to be on the list for historical significance. Apparently, just part of it is called the Strait of Dover. So now you know.
See, maybe this should be obvious, but this is because people write headlines like, "650k criminal immigrants are in the US" while knowing that it's technically true and that none of their knuckle dragging followers will check. Because: some of those knuckle dragging followers might be US senators.
It's a good sign that they're not breathlessly touting that they're using AI (even if that's all this is). Maybe they are finally catching on that we all think AI is garbage (LLMs anyway).
everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment — Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil — by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah. the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda. that’s why we’re in this mess right now — because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.
did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c
It won't bring gas prices back down, but Trump is going to say that it brought gas prices down, and apparently a few people still listen to him.
If you think the Disney version of Cinderella misses the point, wail ‘til you’ve seen what did with the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
I’m not an expert in egalitarianism, but it seems like a reasonable hypothesis that 19th century Germans would have been less willing to believe that a poor person could become a noble.
It occurs to me to wonder why if the above is an inappropriate homosexuals-are-bad joke. I’m currently going with no, because “brown nosing” is a common term that carries no homosexual meaning, at least to me. LMK if you agree or disagree.
He just meant that in the same sense that he “totally destroyed” Putin’s butt hole in Anchorage.
But it's also wild that Russia is losing that many soldiers every two months on the front line in Ukraine. Fedorov's goal is to raise that to 50k per month. Almost an entire Vietnam per month. How can their society cope with that?
Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…
The lady feminists in my life are plenty feminine. Just guessing, maybe this guy is not used to seeing womens' softer side because he's a walking red flag.
They should just go ahead and rename it the Department of War Crimes.
He looks like he lost his balloon. So sad.
The suicide is almost convenient, because it distracts from the underlying inappropriateness of a congressman having an affair with a staffer. The real reason to be mad at Bill Clinton about Lewinsky wasn't that they ruined a perfectly good cigar. It was that she was his subordinate.
I think, for efficiency, we're going to have to list the things not wrong with him. In fact I think I just did.
There's a racist thing that I've heard racist people say, that you can't go to the local playground any more because it's overrun or vandalized or possibly radioactive because of all the people crawling on it with the wrong color of skin. Of course it's a twisted fantasy, but that's all they have.
I can’t believe how stupid everything is
It can also get harder to shrink the shape for larger margins, depending on the shape. Rounded shapes like capsules work great with margins. Unfortunately for your project, finding a shrunken mesh that approximates a polyhedron after adding the margin is a bit tricky.
