Just gonna tell tweakers those things are full of copper

2020 was a glorious year for punching fascists.

Turkey: If the US won’t enforce its own rules we will.

Turkey, the USs’ most reliable allie in the Middle East (even when they elect rw chucklefucks) since basically ever.

Calling Israel an allie when they lied to get us into a war with Iraq is a fucking disgrace to countries that have actually held with the US.

(Oh Israel has also bombed US ships while being an “allie”. not sure if more aggreguous than Bibi’s testimony.)

Interesting. If judges are going to be political regardless, I don’t see another option for democracies.

Trees planted in a line with clear cuts in the distance…

Looks like corporate profits to me.

the worst person you know

Bibi has entered the chat.

Israel must think they’ve got US Congress and presidency on lock. No need to continue to escalate.

You missed the part where they prevented debates internal to the party, there by setting up the third parties in the first place.

We can finally get back to leftist infighting

I think we need to ask who this is for? Because its not for her voters or likely voters.

Almost assuredly not, but we know so little about abiogenisis, its entirely plausible to consider that there may have been multiple origins of life on earth. The nature of cellularization, and DNA first versus RNA first models for life (or perhaps even some other “3rd” biomolecule? maybe surface level interactions on clay?), or even RNA only models. It may well be that there are other sources for abiogensis that are extraterrestrial, but that doesn’t overcome things like the concentration dilemma (you need some biophysical process to concentration “enough” of these interesting biomolecules to do meaningful stuff).

So extra terrestrial things that stand on legs and have heads and eyes? Almost assuredly not. But it may well be that we’ve been repeatedly (or continuously) colonized by extra-terrestrial bio-molecules. I still hold out for some missions to features like Pluto where there is obviously a kind of deep-ice geochemical cycle happening (freeze-thaw based on coming close/ further to the sun). In these cycles there might be opportunities for basic biomolecules to form and accumulate. Slam a big chunk of it into a planet that is at least cool enough to have liquid water, and a geochemical cycle, that might be all you need.

We’re talking past each other at this point and I don’t really feel like repeating myself.

It seems that way because you are insisting that a strategy which has been objectively demonstrated to work, in the very recent past, is going to backfire. Your stance is completely ahistorical and without merit. Its based on speculation and ignores the facts on the ground the very real demonstration that by withholding your vote, you can move politicians to a better, more popular political position.

So to be clear, your disagreement isn’t with me, its with objective reality; material factual things that have happened.

You’ve convinced yourself you are doing harm reduction by telling a people being genocided that its fine because look this party that also supports your genocide has a brown woman leading it. The fact that the Democrats are no better on Gaza hurts them in November and we can fix that. In-fact, holding back votes specifically to move the party on some issue is the only thing that has kept Democrats competitive in this race.

The exact same argument you are making right now was being made 3 months ago regarding Joe Biden. That we needed to support Joe or else. That we needed to back Biden because Trump.

And it was wrong. It wasn’t wisdom it was idiocy. The exact argument you are making now was the same exact argument that led to Democrats UTTERLY FUCKING FAILING in November.

You just want to believe yourself to be on the side of what you perceive to be “right” but you have no evidence to suggest that what you are doing is actual harm reduction.

And guess what? The uncommited movement is being led by Muslim-Americans, so this point:

I’d bet decent money you’re not a Muslim-American, that could be banned from visiting their family in a foreign country, or a Mexican-American that might be at risk of being deported/their family being deported, etc.

Is just complete bullshit. If you are voting blindly for Democrats, you ARE the fucking problem because you are enabling them to have these shitty stances which cause real material harm, AND you are decreasing their chances of success in November.

Yeah idk. I spend a inordinate amount of time talking about tides and watching them, but generally only high and low are focused on because the midtide is when the water is changing the fastest. The water spends more time at high or low than it does I. the middle, so it’s not really noticable.

Some team is getting their bonus by some fucked up metric of engagement and so they are getting points for people scrolling?

I dont know. i miss the plaintext web sometimes.

Is the dashed line the old model?

Looks like Joe Rogan if he worked at Gringots bank as a drug dealer.

Instead I am going to draw a picture of a toe:
