JFK has entered the chat.

In the first televised presidential debate in 1960, radio listeners said that Nixon won, but TV viewers thought he looked thin and sallow compared to Kennedy’s youthful vigor and gave JFK the edge.

Appearance has played a big role in politics ever since.

And just like every retailer, they’ve vertically integrated their supply chain so that they can shove their bullshit brands at you

Holy shit they’re not even seeking the death penalty, in Texas no less, for TWENTY THREE murders.

Compared with Luigi, I guess that means there are no bad tactics, only bad targets.

How did the progression go? Napster, Morpheus, Kazaa, Limewire?

Wealth accumulation as a mental disorder makes so much goddamn sense.

In my experience, people in search of power don’t generally enlist, they get a commission as an officer. That’s definitely not awesome, but I think it’s overall better than you’re making it out to be.

I’m not sure I understand which argument you’re supporting here.

I don’t share your pessimism.

I’m not sure I buy into Dems being Republican-Lite, but through that lens Biden’s actions do seem pretty suspicious

Just build a wall. Make America pay for it.

What makes you think it would be free?

Paid access to the President? Sounds like an accusation I heard once…

I think the goal was to refute the false dichotomy by highlighting its absurdity through contrast with a modern definition. By being angry or a jerk about it, I think it reinforces the point that the idea (the false dichotomy of the meaning of the word) is as deserving of ridicule as the people who espouse it.

God, the fucking assumptions people make when they find out you’re a veteran! I swear people will be like, “Ah, a fellow veteran, aren’t you glad they’re kicking out all the trans people?” Wtf, no, you asshole!

I don’t want to fight my countrymen, I want to fight those assholes in power.

I forget who I heard it from on NPR, but a guest asserted that companies know that diversity is a strength and are unlikely to discontinue practices that ultimately make them more money. He went on to say that any company that has “ended DEI practices” have likely just rebranded it or are keeping some aspects, just not publicly.

The company I work for hasn’t ended any DEI policies, but that’s unsurprising as they’re not American. Has anybody seen this in practice at the hiring level?

Just asking questions!

You mean that in the sense of “haven’t been afforded the right to live” right?

We’re on the DSM 5 now, they recategorized that one to just “brain damage: fascist”

They were so close to being heroes. The same people, I assume, who could never join the military because they would punch out the drill instructor.
