This, nobody gives a shit about my blue hair sjw liberal arts degree unless they want to shame people or use it to explain why we should be a nation of 330 million self employed plumbers (no offense intended to tradies, love comrades in them, but it’s not for everyone nor accessible to everyone, same as college)
Pakleds are more self aware than Elmo has ever been
nice try officer, my moon sign is secured for opsexual reasons
and even if they had to use reconciliation to bypass the filibuster the republicans unfortunately have no problem shoving the senate paramanchurian in a locker unlike the dorks on the dem side of the aisle
the only thing potentially stopping him is the MIC and intelligence apparatus so im doubtful we'll see any seismic change in those parts of the us govt that most deserve to be cut to ribbons but it only serves their purposes if he can blow up what remains of education and social safety nets without much destabilizing backlash. it's still just "advisory" to the omb which still goes through congress but it would take liberals fighting republicans like they fight vaguely left of center 'progressives' and im skeptical of their willingness to do that
as disgusting and cowardly as it is predictable, sadly
"dissent"
struggle sessions suck but they are a part of our national character and cannot be resolved by outside interlopers. the only way out is through (posting)
thank you. i've been here since we got banned from 
(i delete my account and spin a new one every few months specifically so as not to ever be a "power poster but that's another topic) and hard same. the pronoun wars had to be waged and i'm glad that tc69 handled that so ruthlessly but i thought after her hiatus that she was returning as a poster, something i would've welcomed. was genuinely a little disconcerted when i saw the [A] account spin back up but was hoping time had had a mellowing effect. i wish her nothing but the best in general but ya, i agree that managing a largely cohesive community is not a great fit and not after a period of absence like that which only reaffirmed my skepticism towards the power poster clique(s)
did not know about the trans Linux fox girl, ty for making my day better
they rightfully feared what would happen if white people saw PSL as an option (they love pumpkin spice)
same, Boston black bloc goes hard tho, we’ll be ready
they lack the competence and audacity of the dulles era but the MIC and intelligence web still run this show and they'll change or remove him before he can substantially disrupt their bag. that remains the safest bet in us domestic politics
synthesis: the brizzler
maybe if we call it cobbing we can have it back
as always they did their best to herd the outdoor cats that are our userbase, mods, and their fellow admins. even when it's not smooth i always feel it comes from a good place and i hope they will reconsider the admin decision making stuff and remain involved because i think their ability to be as impartial as any of us can be along with their experience makes them indispensable to keeping the john kerry rock stacking past connected to wherever we're headed in the future in a somewhat cohesive way
