Coincidentally, 2019 is when they got a new CEO, laid off almost all the corporate personnel and moved from Denver to Newport Beach. Weird that decapitating the company would have an effect on it…

Did she do terribly during the debate? I remember watching and thinking she seemed smart and articulate, but didn’t have the name recognition and backing to get very far in the primaries.

I disagree that polls are garbage. If that were the case, Biden would still be running for president. With that being said, ignore the polls and make sure you vote.

Man I hope so. I remember thinking the Republican party was dead and would have to move towards the center back in 2008 when Obama was elected and had a super majority in the Senate. But rather than pivot, the GOP dug their heels in, obstructed as much as possible, and went even further to the right.

It’s the eye liner.

S-tier, even.

I know you’re probably referring to the Don Henley song, but my mind instantly went to the version by the fictional band, The Lone Rangers, from the movie Airheads back in the 90s.

13."The working class being gaslit by the 1% to blame the rest of the working class for all of their problems. The amount of people I see thinking their tax dollars are paying for student loan forgiveness, social security, WIC, Medicaid, or welfare is just so ridiculous. You can literally look up exactly where your tax dollars are going. It’s not ‘fake news;’ it’s readily available.

This one drives so many of the other problems. I constantly hear (mostly from my conservative neighbors) about how we shouldn’t be spending so much of our tax dollars on various programs. One of my neighbors was recently complaining about paying for school bus drivers.

Here’s a chart showing where your taxes go.

This isn’t really that surprising. Over 20 years ago I took a course where the professor explained how anyone with a decent understanding of chemistry could turn $300 of raw ingredients into $1 million worth of LSD.

The problem has always been distribution, which is what makes Breaking Bad such a good show. For the average person, having a shit load of illegal drugs with a $3 million value on the street is not the same thing as having $3 million cash.

Yeah, I think that kind of shows how easily small things affect personal relationships. Something like deciding to go to a party can cause you to meet your spouse, fall in love, and have kids, grandkids, etc.

Big events like starting a war or who ends up in charge of a country would be harder to affect. But yeah, you could easily fuck up a family or cause yourself not to exist.

Are you suggesting that Mike Johnson is edging himself?

Yeah imagine expecting a 17 year old boy to NOT look at porn.

“We have a new victim to defeat.” Is that a real quote??

Going to the dump is so weird. It’s just like, here’s a field…just throw your shit wherever and let’s get outta here.

I just found out I’m a fan of nerd dragon comics and hope there are more.

That, but also an immediate notification if you go to a porn site.

Lol I wasn’t joking, it actually is an app and not the honor system. His 17 year-old son gets an immediate notice when his dad starts cranking his hog.

“It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel about the app.

“It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

Unfortunately a large number of conservatives support that. Like how Mike Johnson has an app that tells his son whenever he’s jacking off.

I understand that there are vast ethical issues of genetically modifying animals, especially when it comes to delaying growth and maturation. But Lord help me if I’d be able to turn down the opportunity to own a baby hippo that never grows up.
