I legitimately know a woman who’s divorcing her husband, finding out he was a Trump supporter was the final straw. They’ve been in a rough spot for the last year or so, he doesn’t cook/clean at all.
She was going to leave him a year ago but tried to make it work, finding out he was a secret Trumper sealed the deal for her.
The body is Rottweiler-sized, segmented into overlapping hard plates like those of a rhinoceros. The legs are long, curled way up to deliver power, like a cheetah’s. It must be the tail that makes people refer to it as a Rat Thing, because that’s the only ratlike part - incredibly long and flexible.
The grass under the Rat Thing is beginning to smoke.
“Careful. Supposedly they have really nasty isotopes inside,” Hiro says behind her… “A radioactive substance that makes heat. That’s its energy source.”
“How do you turn it off?”
“You don’t. It keeps making heat until it melts.”
The body converges to a sharp nose. In the front it bends down sharply, and there is a black canopy, raked sharply like the windshield of a fighter plane. If the Rat Thing has eyes, this is where it looks out.
As part of Mr. Lee’s good neighbor policy, all Rat Things are programmed never to break the sound barrier in a populated area. But Fido’s in too much of a hurry to worry about the good neighbor policy. Jack the sound barrier. Bring the noise.
That already happened to like 90% of us thanks to the same cultists.
Feel free, leftwing flailing doesn’t help anyone (see the last 70 years as proof)
edit: Also funny you think I’m a centrist when I specifically called Harris a weak milquetoast pro-LE candidate.
beyond obvious that if people didn’t vote in this election, they’d literally never
Except for the 10m people that voted for Biden in 2020 but sat this round out.
You did say their apathy was justified, but it NEVER will be.
Where did I say that? There’s plenty of blame to go around and non-voters will receive their share but right now we’re talking about the rich ruling class who were unable to form any coherent argument or defense against an openly fascist, 34-time convicted, rapist. If that doesn’t show what they bring to the table then I don’t know what does.
You think it’s a sign that the politicians did something wrong that people literally can’t be bothered to stop obvious and imminent fascism.
You don’t? You think politicians did their jobs? I think they’ve been asleep at the wheel for the last 4-5 decades.
Funnier still, you claimed they cared but not voting wasn’t something they could blamed for.
I never said they cared, the opposite in fact.
bothering to vote
Ah yes the absolute lowest bar for civic participation and they still couldn’t reach it meanwhile Republicans are winning schoolboards across the country.
I’m actually coming around to your side though, both sides aren’t the same, one of them is good at politics.
“They saw how dangerous the people actively working against democracy were and were *still unable to form a coherent argument against it or court the millions of people who were afraid of it.”
I’m not sure evil through incompetence is any different than willful evil. One smiles while they patronize you, the other doesnt.
From where I sit the Democratic party was so afraid of an actual changecandidate that they neglected to have a primary and foisted a milquetoast pro-LE candidate that didn’t do anything to reach their base and instead tried to court it’s opponents supporters. So, maybe they’re actually worse than Republicans, at least an R will tell you they hate you and want to take your rights.
An openly fascist rapist beat them, if that isn’t an indictment of them I don’t know what is.
The Democratic party lost, it’s now OK to point at them and say “what a bunch of out of touch rich fucks” and throw them to the wolves, they do not represent us and in that way, are exactly the same as the other side.
So, do you think one of the parties isn’t owned by the 1%?
“No they wouldn’t, it would be bad for their investments in the economy, with more workers in the labour pool the cheaper labour becomes. So reducing that worker pool would mean companies would spend more on each worker reducing profits.”
You agree with that comment?
Do you actually disagree with any of what they said or is snark your contribution?
Why wouldn’t they try? They’ve done everything they could so far and face no repercussions, why not go ahead and try to be king? A few people will fret and tut-tut but if nobody is going to do anything it doesn’t amount to much.
Beehaw is a bit fragile. They’ll remove any comment they don’t like if it offends their current sensibilities.
$600 gets you 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. You can get better hardware for less.
Why care when we talk about desktops?
Because it’s $600 and velcroing an external HDD to a nice new sleek piece of hardware makes it look ugly. Typical Apple bullshit, I’m surprised they didn’t develop another proprietary connector.
Not uncommon at all to find religious BS in those little libraries. I haven’t come across any porn yet

Have fun buying your drugs IRL like it’s 1970 or something.
