It was used on Reddit, but not widely. Mostly by insufferable ‘enlightened centrists’ who didn’t want to engage in good faith argument.

It’s now a blanket term for “anyone left l politically left of me” used by insufferable liberals who don’t want to admit that trying to curry votes from Republicans lost them the election.

For a time it was being used to describe actual Chinese and Soviet sympathisers, but given how quiet that particular group has been after the election, I suspect it was interchangable with state sponsored bot accounts.

Hi would you like to buy some feet?

PICTURES. pictures of feet.

I’ll sell you pictures of my feet.

Not another human foot hahaha that would be weird. Unless…

Quark had a better safety record because he’s not human, and safety is intuitive to most species. Not humans.

Humans are wild hungry barbarian thrill monkeys. Safety protocols on the holodeck were probably at Vulcan insistence after they watched us detonate a warp core inside a sun to see what would happen.

This isn’t just in Star Trek either. In Stargate they find a gate orbiting a black hole, nearly destroy the earth, and then later on when we find a species they don’t like, we give away those coordinates as a prank. Among others. We used that same gate to cause a supernova somewhere else just to see what would happen.

GODAYUM IT SADDAM I AIN’T GIVING YOU NO TREE FIDDY!!

“So V, quiet life or blaze of glory hm?”

Shockingly yeah

It does!

It’s worth noting that the minimum wage in Texas is the same as the federal minimum wage. Which is now, not enough to buy a meal at McDonald’s after an hour.

That’s really not true either. They don’t take issue with technology.

They have cell phones and washing machines. Some Amish communities just look like any old country highway with pickup trucks and harvesting equipment.

The particular type of Amish you’re thinking of will still have things like landlines and probably some electricity on the farm.

They take issue with depending on others, Amish strive to be self sufficient and independent. They don’t want to attach themselves to possessions, or things they can’t make and maintain themselves, but that doesn’t mean they can’t use them. They can and gladly do. They have rules on their use, they self regulate their use. Guy I went to school with has his wife go through and look through his phone. If she thought the was using it too much she’d hang on to it. He drove an old pickup and he and his brothers ran a junk yard part time specifically so he’d have access to parts for it. He was going to school to be a machinist, because there was a machine shop in his community and he didn’t want to bother the elders with learning how to use it. Soon as he finished the precision machine program he just went back to his farm.

We do get overtime pay, this rule was for a very specific segment of workers who were exempt. Being salaried and making under a certain amount. Hourly employees get time and a half for every hour past 40 in a week, federally.

Ok so I looked in to their sources and boy, you’re under selling it.

They used 130+ sources of 10’s of thousands of surveyed people, each. Typical sample sizes were 70,000+.

This is a meta analysis. The number of people contributing to this analysis is wide enough to put to rest any doubt that it’s a representative sample ten times over.

Arrogantly appending “polled” to those figures is like proudly proclaiming that teen pregnancies drop off sharply after age 19.

Yes that’s how statistics work.

Overweight and obese are two different categories. 40% are obese. Nearly 75% are overweight or obese.

All alphabetical antecedents are appropriate and appreciated.

You know, I could do without the letter we’re referring to here. Plenty of other vowels to suit my needs.

Bro.

Wtf.

That’s awful.

Skilled athletes are entertaining to watch. Guys that know how fight and do it well, at least. It can be a highly technical, highly skilled competition. Some people are just there to watch two adults beat the piss out of each other. Which, to be fair, is how the sport started.

Which rapist can haphazardly throw an occasional swing in the vague direction of their opponent, at least half the time at least being close enough to theoretically connect.

Ftfy.

Oh boy did we buffer.

We buffered like it was 1999.

Omaha voted for Harris. We split the vote, though that’s not likely to survive this session.

It doesn’t fucking work. Nebraska is a unicameral still because the biggest population center leans to the left. The rest of the state would suddenly have to compromise with the people in Omaha. And they don’t want to fucking do that. So, when they try to fuck us we have to hope that Megan Hunt or Ernie Chambers is around to put a stop to it. And even then, we still get fucked by the state.

A second house would likely preserve the split electoral vote in Nebraska. Without it, it’s a matter of time before they muster up the 33 votes to kill it.
