What? We absolutely did see enthusiasm among female voters for Hillary.

Paradox of Tolerance. A truly 100% tolerant society can not exist as it will quickly fall prey to intolerant groups that they are forced to tolerate. People don’t seem to understand that concept and think if we just be nice the bad guys will go away. It doesn’t work like that. Any school kid can tell you that ignoring or trying to befriend a bully rarely works. The only thing that works is fighting back.

Of course not, that’s because babies can’t file lawsuits for having their foreskins cut off.

Time LINE. You’re talking about going so far back that humanity wouldn’t exist. And if you go that far back and try to jumpstart evolution to have humans exist sooner; disregarding how that completely ignores how evolution works, any society that would arise would be indecipherable compared to our own. The resulting “humans” could be hairless and have purple skin. Think of the hot-dog fingers timeline from 'Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" except the world they live in wouldn’t look anything close to ours. They would instead communicate entirely by slapping and live in long tunnels made of beeswax or some shit like that. There are too many branching paths and variables to get anything even close to recognizable.

For the purposes of the main question OP asked, it’s pointless to go back that far. We’re no longer talking about “how might modern society be different if we had made different choices, and what choices have we made that turned out to be good?” but instead saying “what if humanity never evolved and something else did instead?”

A better example, let’s look at the Grand Canyon. Carved by the Colorado River over millions of years. But let’s say you went back far enough to deviate the river’s path so that it never ran through modern day Arizona. At that point, it’s pointless to ask how the Grand Canyon might look different because there wouldn’t BE a Grand Canyon!

Too big. An alteration of the timeline where that’s not the case would basically be one that didn’t involve humanity at all. Not sure you fully understood the question, it’s not asking what’s great about living in this point in time, but rather, of the different paths humanity could have taken, what makes this one good.

The point is she has a very large current following and therefore her words do have some influence on a large number of people. Maybe not you, but not everything is about you.

They had several songs in the top 100 this year? In 2024? The same year as the current election being discussed?

“Group that would be expected to make a statement makes expected statement toward man who will absolutely not give two shits as he’s only going to be around for 4 more months anyways”

This isn’t news.

I’m in favor of the filibuster, but the original version. You want to delay legislation? Fine, stand your happy ass up and start talking for hours without stopping. The old fucks wouldn’t be able to do it, and those that can would have to spend days doing nothing else, and getting no other work done. After hour 4 or 5, a senator bought by corporate interests is going to be exhausted and start wondering if what they’re being paid is worth the personal effort. By 24 hours, only those who feel true, personal conviction about their beliefs could continue.

Which hit song?

Are you talking about Pink Pony Club? HOTTOGO? Good Luck, Babe? Casual? Red Wine Supernova? My Kink is Karma?

She has many songs that have absolutely blown the fuck up this year. All of those that I listed are currently on the billboard top 100 and she’s had several more that made it on at some point in the last several months.

The thing is, hydrogen is a byproduct of damn near every industry. It’s usually just released into the atmosphere because it’s a pain in the ass to capture and store and isn’t worth much. If it starts being in demand, you can bet your ass they’ll start trying to gather it.

Pocket Bard is great for setting adaptive music in D&D sessions. Pick a setting (town, cave, woods, dungeon, etc.), choose the activity the party is doing (exploration or battle), choose an intensity. The music will automatically adapt and fluidly change to match the situation.

Just want to touch on one point to highlight how you’re not thinking rationally and maybe have been taking too many headlines at face value:

If Israel’s goal was to “bomb indescriminately” why would they bother using precision strike weapons?

Yes the US is supplying precision strike weapons, you know what Israel will do if they no longer have precision strike weapons? The answer is not give up and go home. It has been almost a year since the war started and casualties are at 40k. For a heavily populated urban environment that’s actually quite low because Israel uses precision strike weapons.

The US is the only country that has even a chance of bringing Israel to the table for ceasefire talks. There is literally no one else they will listen to. If the US withdraws support, that goes away.

If the US withdraws support, Iran invades. They’ve been pretty clear on that point, and a full scale war will only lead to vastly increased numbers of civilian deaths.

These things should not have to be pointed out. I get that people feel helpless, but the genocide doesn’t stop if the US withdraws support. It only gets worse.

Do they really think the genocide would stop if the US stopped supporting Israel? Are they really that ignorant of the situation over there?

Here’s a hint, all indications are that it would make things much, much worse. If you don’t understand how, then you haven’t been paying attention.

No. That’s on par with Clint Eastwood yelling at an empty chair. It just comes off looking pathetic.

Vote early. Almost every single area in the US has early voting at least 2 weeks before elections. People complain about long lines and lack of ballots on election day. You know what you get if you stumble into a polling place before that? A couple of bored poll workers in an otherwise empty building. You get your ballot, fill it out, and leave within 5 minutes. I seriously don’t understand why this isn’t used more.

What a great way to let your friends and loved ones know you are insufferable to deal with and will drop a rant on them about your minor inconveniences at every opportunity.

I don’t get it, this isn’t even the first time he’s admitted he’s lost. Tomorrow he’ll go right back to saying it was stolen. He changes his tune all the fucking time! What makes this particular time the one that’s got all his sycophant’s panties in a bunch?

Sure is! It’s the reason people are registering in record numbers and are likely going to vote in a huge turn out. Unlike your attempts to dissuade people, friend!
