Boomers are like "My mother lived a horrible life so that I could have a better one. Anyway, because my parents had a tough life, you should also have a bad life. Things shouldn't get better, they should get worse. But not for me, just you, because you're young. Fuck you."
No one created the land they live on. And yet they've been granted the ability to exclude others from it, backed by state force. All we ask is they pay the rest of society for the privilege to use this scarce resource, which itself derives much of its value from society around it
From the foreign policy geniuses who brought you “Biden needs to look sadder and send bags of rice to the kids he’s bombing in Gaza” comes “Trump needs to apologize for mass child murder.” Everything is a PR issue to be managed, not a crime to be ended.
Very funny that heated rivalry made non-sports watchers think hockey players were all woke guys having gay sex when really they’re just rich conservatives having gay sex

You cannot argue that leftists “cost” Democrats the election in 2024, then not cater to leftists in 2026 and 2028.

Yes - you do use an ID to vote in Congress..
With:
* A free ID paid for by the government.
* That they make sure you have received.
* In a voter roll you are automatically on and not purged from when eligible.
* With processes to manage your vote if you forget /lose your ID.
If you want mandatory voter ID, then include those kinds of provisions.
Otherwise you're just trying to make voter suppression easier.
This use-case always puzzles me.
Either my emails are a couple of paras long, in which case I can read them myself in a couple of seconds, rendering AI unnecessary.
Or they're 40 paras long and whatever's going to bite me on the ass is well hidden, so I need to read every word.
A lot of people who dance incessantly to YMCA thinking it’s a catchy song about having wholesome fun playing pickup basketball at the local Y and blast Born in the USA thinking it’s a proud tribute to how awesome the US is are big angry they couldn’t understand the lyrics tonight
