George HW Bush: notable woke radical.

The majority of Americans didn’t vote to keep Trump out of office.

I guess the one piece of good news? (Gosh it’s fucking slim) is that if there is a Democratic president in the future they can mandate national voting by mail if the SC doesn’t injunction this bullshit.

I agree that the N-word is far worse - I didn’t mean to equate them but to use it as a point of comparison. The really fucking hateful and widespread usages of the n-word mostly date back to the 70s - it’s now used almost exclusively by badge wearing racists… so it has had about fifty years of pop culture non-hateful uses but is still clearly unacceptable.

The R-word was seeing widespread usage a mere twenty years ago - it’s still part of the active memory of millennials and older.

An interesting comparison might be gypsy (I type it out only because I can’t think of a clear way to abbreviate it) which is seen as an unacceptable slur (especially in the verb form) which had fallen out of social use in the 50s - even that word (though it is less openly hateful) is still pretty unacceptable.

It’s a similar story for other less common racial slurs - once a word becomes such a hateful slur it seems like the most common social response is to just abandon it with reclamation being a rarity and confined to the in group in every case I can think of (the n-word and the f-word both have gained some usage within their communities but it isn’t universal… I have an extremely negative memory of the f-word which makes me uncomfortable even when people I trust use it).

Barring transit delayed mail-in ballots is 100% the way these fucks will steal the next election.

I hope Vermont doesn’t deregister me - thankfully voting administration is done by the individual states so they’ll likely push back on the EO but I’m absolutely not going to fly to Burlington to prove my identity in person.

I think they mean recession.

(They actually mean that word from the 90s for developmentally challenged if you’re truly unaware).

It becoming socially acceptable is a really nebulous bar - if I found myself among folks who found it acceptable I wouldn’t use it as I consider it unacceptable at a personal level - but if it’s usage completely changed in the year 2270 then sure I might use it.

The n-word and r-word will never be socially acceptable in our lifetimes and anyone who says differently is just an asshole trying to cloak their behavior. I also don’t really see a need to put effort into reclaiming either term…

In general, I think it’s a bad thing that we have words that have become unacceptable to use and I wish those words had never been so associated with hate - but they were do we are where we are.

Also, the nearest office is three states over.

So, some good news, when you are forced into an involuntary road trip to get your daughter or granddaughter an abortion you can use verifying your identity to social security as a cover to avoid being deported to El Salvador.

Our one glitch is from signal

Well, and the NRC

Our two glitches are from signal and laying off people at the NRC

Oh, there was also the misleading DOGE numbers

Three! Our three glitches were signal, the NRC, and misleading DOGE numbers.

And DOGE having a completely unprotected database of course.

Oh, dash it all.

It won’t.

I assume you need to calculate the red triangle’s hypotenuse but it seems like there are too many degrees of freedom to lock down any of the other sides or angles of the triangle including X unless I’m missing some hack involving chords and reflected angles.

Actually I do - I’m not certain why I misrecalled the it as FedEx.

Fucking corporate media - they mention his ties to the GOP but omit his prior employment with FedEx Ed: Whoops, XPO as a commenter below pointed out.

Depends, he could have a long successful career in private equity being a short term pumper - that’s essentially all he is… someone who lacks the common shame to not bullshit to such an extent that fuckers believe him.

How many years are we away from FSD Elon? Just a few? How many years have we been within five years of FSD? Fifteen? And yet everytime he says it the stock price goes up.

Just about - but slap Trudeau on the fucker.

Ah, so you’re pulling a Biden. You’ll remain an ineffective asshole in office long enough to fuck over Democrats and then step down while expecting praise for “doing the right thing”.

He’s a state senator - there are lots of fair criticisms of Schumer but I think it’s a good idea if Senators are accessible over the wide geographic areas they represent.

That’s one approach. Personally, I think Canada should allocate a few hundred thousand for some ridiculously gilt covered grand entrance as a fuck you to America.

I’d take one for free - I don’t and never have had a driver’s license, though.

Maybe I could set it on FSD beside a lake and film it confidently drowning itself. I’m sure I’d find something useful to do with it.

Nope, when writing on a PC I avoid touching NY mouse anyway.
