i wonder if some japanese writers are aware of how americans process their inability to commit to two characters having actual penetrative sex in an explicit scene as "oh everybody involved is gay, actually"

Neat.

It isn’t a response to an attack. This didn’t start October 7, it started in 1948. You know less than nothing about that conflict, which is probably why it’s so easy to buy your vote while promising you nothing.

You didn’t answer my question. You didn’t even address it.

Why didn’t Harris give people what they wanted so she would win?

So, to not solve any actual problems.

You don’t, though.

We bang our heads against the wall on this website trying to understand how to win these people over, and the median voter is just like:

You are never fully safe from the threat of Iowa.

incredible

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

Characterizing claiming this is the most traumatic thing he’s experienced as “being upset” is beyond disingenuous.

Anyone that fragile absolutely does need to toughen up, AND it’s not fine that people are peeing on the bus.

Scoop: DNC officials working on secret report found Gaza stance cost Harris votes The DNC's research on what went wrong in 2024 has been under lock and key since party leaders decided to hide it from the public.

HEY VBNMWs LET’S HEAR YOUR EXCUSES FOR HOW THE DNC IS WRONG ABOUT HARRIS LOSING DUE TO GAZA

No, we’re in the land of minimum standards many people are fine with candidates not meeting.

Y’all tend to consistently have infantile takes.

If it’s “denounce genocide,”yes, because that’s mandatory for anyone to be included in society, let alone lead it.

Your lack of minimum standards for human behavior is a character flaw, not a strategy, and it reflects poorly on you, not us.

No, they’re saying that people in public have to be able to withstand unpleasantness without obsessing about it for a whole day.

Handling something doesn’t mean that thing is good or acceptable. Ridiculous take.

How does it work? Does it fit over the screen?

It wasn’t a paraphrase, it was a mischaracterization. There’s no honest way to get that from what was actually written.

That had already been happening on Twitter for years by the time Bluesky existed, and is also every social media platform at the moment.

You seem to have experienced an unusual cross-section of social media. When did you join Twitter?

You also, in tripping over yourself to condescend to someone who knows more than you, wrote something that means ‘things could be fixed on day one with concepts of a plan, and people were too stupid to see that’

Funny how much that reminds one of MAGA behavior.

This isn’t an answer to my question at all, so no, it doesn’t help—something I don’t need.

Which didn’t happen here, just like the lie about someone getting pissed on.

There’s no logic involved. It’s a joke. It’s a memetic phrasing.

it’s like you worked to un-understand this after getting it exactly

Your example rate weighs almost none on the most wealthy.

Buying power does not scale; 10% of a billion dollars and 10% of a thousand dollars are fundamentally different types of economic power.

It also doesn’t come even slightly close to funding the federal budget: 0.15% of the $2T US private payroll last year is $3G, which is nothing compared to the federal government’s $4.1T budget.

This idea is as bankrupt now as it was when Forbes was suggesting it in the 90s.

It isn’t, though, because money doesn’t scale, and all the money over about a million dollars is unnecessary luxury.

This also does nothing at all to provide oversight over the uncontrolled power that $8.3G still is. This is more tax cuts for the wealthy.

Only person twisted here is you?
