A reflecting pool needs to be dark on the bottom. If it’s bright blue, too much light bounces off the bottom and overwhelms the reflection.

Literally nothing Trump does isn’t fucking stupid and wasteful.

There’s literally no reason to use these ever.

As was intended. Fascists see the brain drain as a victory, because stupid masses are easier to control.

Not that I’m criticizing the educators who leave. They are being forced out, and it’s entirely reasonable to abandon Texas.

That’s fair, and I agree it’s better to see dems doing anything, if only for the novelty of it.

I mean, it’s moderately encouraging to see Dems doing something to fight Trump, but Congress doesn’t have the authority to utilize the mechanisms in the 25th amendment to remove Trump. They can issue articles of impeachment (again), but there are too many conservative senators and representatives protecting Trump for that to be viable, either.

This bill won’t go anywhere, and even if it did pass, it wouldn’t have any effect.

Like Nazis don’t have money to spend?

Probably C) they don’t give a shit because profit.

Yep, impeachment is a (slightly) more viable strategy, but impossible without major Dem gains in the midterms. Like I’m not even sure there are enough Senate seats up for reelection.

That is a responsible and optimistic worlview, AdolphSchmitler.

“Idiots! You should pan fry the mirepoix in a little oil to soften them and get all the toasty flavor before you add it to the soup,” you say to the cannibal from inside the pot.

Welcome to the post-truth reality. Everyone everywhere is being disingenuous. Sincerity is a self-imposed handicap, holding yourself to a higher standard than the people who would subjugate you for fun and profit.

“in English” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Any number of illiterate adults is a problem worth solving, but someone who can read in their native language is not illiterate. Teaching adults to read is an entirely different process from teaching adults how to read a foreign langauge.

Bacon is great, but death by rectal cancer is more bad than bacon is good.

Yeah, the memes were funny, and he made some fun action movies, but the real man was not worthy of veneration. Dying doesn’t change his legacy, it cements it. There’s no more time for him to become a better person than he was.

That was fast.

Can I place a bet that we’ll find proof of this? And a parlay bet that nothing will come of it?

Ok, but if you learned later that the guy was trafficking and raping women and children, and was selling them to other rich people for sex, that might color your perspective a bit? And if you looked back on that moment and said “I saw nothing strange or suspicious” I would think you were a liar.

Oh, man, that sounds like a lot.

If we’re talking old games that hold up, I would put Rogue (1980) and Nethack (1987) on that list. Rogue is like the basis for 60% of the gaming industry, and Nethack is still being actively developed.

Him, Epstein, and four girls who he claims were college aged. Epstein, the human trafficker and child rapist, and another middle aged man, having a party with four “college aged” girls.

But nothing weird or suspicious.
