How in the hell is that baby still alive after being shot multiple times? That’s amazing enough for an adult but a baby is so compact and fragile comparatively. That’s pretty incredible from a physiological perspective.

That’s the thing I’ve never understood about the “tyranny of the majority” folks, they’re just arguing that we should do what fewer people think is the right thing to do and that seems objectively worse. If a majority of people disagree with you then you either work to change their minds or be introspective and see if you need to change yours. Sometimes you’ll have to suck it up and deal with the fact that neither of those options will work but that’s just the way it is. There is no alternative that works in the long term.

Yeah but that’s how some people describe Trump. I can’t fathom how one could listen to him speak without getting the impression that he’s a narcissistic moron but that’s how it goes I guess.

I think that begs the question of whether or not many felt that way about Hitler in 1930s Germany. I’m guessing he was well spoken enough that even those that disliked his message didn’t have the same opinion of him that I do of Trump. They likely saw him as a threat and someone to fear for his ability to sway others to his cause. Trump seems successful largely in spite of himself which is odd, but again I can’t see anything other than a clown with little man syndrome so maybe they are successful for largely the same reasons. They do have a lot of similarities. I just have to imagine Hitler was more cunning and less sniveling.

He’s not going to prison. You know that. Besides, even if he did it’s been nearly a decade since he committed those crimes. Regular people don’t get to run free for 8 years after they commit crimes, all while threatening judges and prosecutors. There’s very obviously a different standard for him than the rest of us and that’s not changing. Justice isn’t coming at all, but for the sake of the argument, justice delayed is still justice denied.

And you seem to think two years is basically no time at all. Think about how much awful shit Republicans got up to under Trump. Approximately half of that got done in a two year period and that was even a historically deadlocked Congress. Democrats lost in 2010 precisely because two years is a long time and the best thing they got out of it was a shitty healthcare plan that, more than anything, ensured our current unsustainable system stays in place for at least another generation.

Democrats are obviously much better than Republicans in basically every sense of the word, but Republicans get their legislation passed when they have the chance and Democrats trip all over themselves trying to appease the idiots who will never join their coalition. They could learn a lot from Republicans about pushing their agenda but it seems pretty clear by now they aren’t going to.

Immediately test my ability to kill myself again

Could be. Either way billionaires should not exist but you would expect more to try and be a little more low profile than the typically do.

Echo chambers are a lot easier to recognize and ignore when they aren’t filled with your friends and family.

Haha that is true. For some reason I don’t mind his obscene wealth quite as much as most of them even though on the surface his hoarding is a bit more nonsensical. Maybe it’s because he’s not flaunting his exploitation.

Do you guys have that much control over when and where you poop? I see this idea of “just hold it in until you get to your preferred location” fairly regularly and that seems insane to me. It’s not like my poops are an imminent emergency every time but I definitely couldn’t hold it in more than an hour or maybe two on the high end, and that would be pretty uncomfortable. That’s not enough time to get home in many cases. In other words, when it hits, I shits.

That should matter but it doesn’t. If there’s anything I’ve learned from the last 8 years it’s that facts don’t carry that much weight, especially in American politics, and especially with Republicans. All that matters is what people believe to be true and most of the time that doesn’t differ from what they wish were true.

And yet many of those people are also the first to complain about having inconsistent paychecks. Funny how that works

This meme is making me question my whole life. They’re not supposed to do that 😔

Maybe we need to gather all those soloists into a proper orchestra. Then they would really kill it.

I don’t think it’s just a joke. It comes up as if it’s a counterpoint to the idea that everyone could die every single time that concept is proposed. At best it’s tired and worn out and at worst it’s intentionally distracting.

That concept is lost on so many people and I don’t understand why. One of the last teams I was on had two weekly meetings. One was 9:00 AM Monday morning and the other was 4:00 PM on Fridays. They were both running through all of our projects and always seemed surprised that the Monday update was the same as the previous Friday update.

Hey, at least he had the right idea. He saw that the delay was due to a lack of skilled workers and tried to fix that problem instead of just talking more about the project. That’s more awareness than most PMs have in my experience.

When humans are talking about the death of all humans it’s pretty stupid to call that too human focused. What you’re talking about is totally different from what we’re talking about. Please stop doing it.

Why do you guys show up with this comment every time climate change is mentioned? The fact that some life will continue should not be comforting to you when we’re talking about the needless death of practically everything you’ve ever laid eyes on. It’s OK to let that be the focal point of the conversation.
