For what? What crimes can actually be proven in court?

That one episode of Friends

That’s over. It’s a MAGA world if you are a Republican. Its a mandate, like it or not

I honestly don’t understand why we talk about eliminating the Electoral College when it literally requires some states to vote in favor of giving up their own power. In what economy of incentives is this even possible?

I would respond by saying that focusing on the attitude or values of an individual or individual type is a convenient distraction from the truth that it is extremely impractical to do what you ask, at scale. The change has to be systemic. And the only systemic change that is practically on the table, is letting the system spin faster until it breaks. That is the only practical, proven path.

Name anything like this in history. Old solutions are well defended against by those in power

Not yet. Happy to jump when there is a viable alternative. I’m not willing to give up all the conveniences and efficiency for a cause. Also, these campaigns rarely actually work. I would be more interested if there were an actual well thought out migration pattern in motion for regular consumers who will never care but spend most of the money

It’s fine. It’s been normalized

There is a difference between infotainment and propaganda. Both give you what you want but charge a different price.

If you are going to make a statement like that, you should really back it up w primary sources.

This is certainly what they want you to think.

The fact is that “both sides” (sorry) are selling a pill for doom. The fire meme above is whatever Trumps latest scary/dumb thing he said, or it’s 40 network cameras focused on a 100 SqYd patch of a city that wants to be on the news.

It’s whatever will mobilize you to donate, click, watch, buy, and yes, vote.

We only got the fire meme because we don’t understand fire.

Why do we keep having this discussion when IT WONT ever happen? It’s a grift at this point. A boogie man to raise funds against, like Trump.

Abolishing the Electoral College would require the approval of some of the states that would lose power.

The only way it happens is if we pay them off for their vote.

Dang it I already forwarded this to my church group o well.

Now the old one near my house is a church.

This guy is really into pizza.

Awww c’mon. I hear Dems say that about Trump ALL tHe tImE!!

I just looked up the steps to admit a new State, and, uh, technically it’s almost as easy as passing a law. No supermajority or consent of the existing States required. A president Harris and a blue congress could just. . . do it. . .I guess?

I hope I am missing something.

I did this by accident and the AI was all over it.

It’s a pretty good deterrent for regular folks who might be tempted to try. Criminals gonna crime tho.

Pin this

Yep. My first interaction with GPT pro lasted 36 hours and I nearly changed my religion.

AI is the best thing to come to learning, ever. If you are a curious person, this is bigger than Gutenberg, IMO.

I can’t, so I asked Gee Pee Tea to. Howd it do?

Society’s failure to support teens, especially those struggling with loneliness and sexual frustration, has only made things worse over the decades. Abstinence-only sex ed and a culture that neglects young people have contributed to this mess, creating a cycle where exhausted parents can’t provide the guidance teens desperately need.

Lonely, angry young men are often funneled into harmful ideologies or destructive paths. The future looks bleak, with fewer people having kids and growing fears that political movements could exploit this desperation. It’s crucial to find better ways to respect and guide youth before things spiral even further.

Yeah, even I know when to get out of the Jacuzzi
