IIRC “ACA” and “Obamacare” had similar divides. Propaganda is a helluva drug.

Private ownership capitalism.

Stock owners want line to go up forever. Hence we get sociopath CEO’s who want to sell DLC for different types of breathing. Private ownership means Gabe can say, “We’re making good money, no need to nickle and dime.” and focus on product.

banning slightly increasing the price of plastic forks is anti-semitic

Nothing ever happens

The Times reports that she claimed some cisgender women players were considering quitting, fearing unfair competition

At least with the more physical sports there’s a (spurious) argument about bone structure or whatever. There really isn’t that same argument wrt Chess, even if it be a bit physically taxing.

Officially there’s women’s and open tournaments. There isn’t anything stopping the top female player, Hou Yifan from going to a tourney and potentially playing the top (general and specifically male) player Magnus Carlsen.

Plenty of work available doing the jobs you previously refused to so they turned to immigrants to do.

Not a whole lot the left and right can agree on these days but I think “Fuck this dude for bitching about missing his beach vacation because he has to do the job he was elected for” is fairly bipartisan.

If every criticism of Zionism and Israeli genocide of Palestine gets called anti-semitic, there’s going to come a point where folks simply say, “Okay, guess I’m anti-semitic now.”, and when that happens, hoo boy.

The [Marines] $57.2 billion budget request is part of the Navy’s $292.2 billion overall proposed spending plan for fiscal 2026, which begins Oct. 1. The budget request reflects a more than 6% increase from the 2025 request.

More then three times the budget of the Marines.

Neither of those studies seem to be about the random one off I’m implying. If mom is smoking bowls with them every weekend that’s a different discussion.

Don’t like it but I get it.

3 bed 2 1/2 bath maybe but 4 bed 4 bath is wild. I could see it as a roommate solution but deffo not a family one.

No holodeck for me and my Troi harem

the future sucks.

The Simpsons have lasted almost 10x as long as the CSA did. Telling folks to eat my shorts is my cultural heritage.

Crazy how Symphony of the Night is to Metroidvanias what Chrono Trigger or FF6/7 is to RPG’s but we’re still getting Kid Dracula released by Konami in the Castlevania collections before it is.

NGL fairly salty.

It’s called the BI-ble, not the Straight-ble. Adam AND Eve, not Adam or Eve.

Perot did pretty well on his runs iirc. But I don’t think he’s the one you were talking about.
