  • Bro have you seen Alfred fight?

    The problem would not be Alfred losing, it would be stopping him from plugging the Joker like an out of charge phone because he has made very clear that he does not share Batman’s distaste for firearms.

    This whole discussion is itself a metaphor, the people who are the most worried are the ones who understand the least about who they’re talking about.




  • That opposing force is the sheer amount of desperation people are putting into chasing voters to the polls

    There isn’t an opposite manifesto because the opposition to Project 2025 is a big tent coalition of several groups that in a proper democratic system would be entirely different parties.

    It’s a beast with 20 heads that all have to agree to make any significant movement in any given direction, and so all that this monster can agree to do right now is to keep keeping the other guy out and hope a resolution comes in the process.

    Only sometimes one of the heads decides to be a privileged little twat and not even agree to that, and then gaslight everyone else about how they all made the twat decide to let the worse guy win.

    Anyways the point is someone would have to beat down the egos of a lot of big names to unite the democratic coalition enough to put out a counterproposal to Project 2025.

    You probably could do it too with enough being the biggest most confrontational douche ever seen in the DNC to literally everyone until you’ve successfully bowled everyone else over and browbeaten them into line, but congratulations now the only thing they’re more united about than The Project for All is how much they all hate you and want to ruin you so they can all go back to being the petty lords of their sub-partisan fiefdoms.


  • These should really all be connected by HSR to the major cities and centers in this country

    Would cut down exponentially on car pollution, grant easy access and advertising to less known parks and putting up improved park hotel infrastructure at the stations can give most folks the satisfaction of having been there while also handling any induced demand it creates.

    Plus you can use bargain “rail-trip” tickets to redirect people from the big name over toured parks to multiple parks at once that could also use some public love and attention.

    Or shit you can make the rails themselves a hotel with special sleeper cars that route to give the guests as nice a rolling view as possible.



  • I’m staying with them while on bedrest from the nastiest mono infection I’ve ever witnessed, but once I’m recovered I still have my own place I can get back to

    I also stay the night regularly when my dad needs to leave my mom home alone for travel because she’s old and has old people problems

    I’m in a pretty unique situation with how my life in relation to theirs turned out though so probably not a median example of a person who crashes with their parents for occasions outside of celebrations or family trips.





  • Defense of a country in the case of direct attack, or more complicatedly in the defense of an allied country in cases like NATO where all members consider an attack on any member as though it were an attack on them.

    I will add the caveat though that not having a well funded, trained, and staffed military prior to hitting the conscription button is certainly a point in the column of incompetence if not unacceptable behavior.



  • See you say all that but when you look at the actual documented results it shows that Bernie got blown out in the popular vote and was actually unduly benefited by the delegate system proportional to how many people actually voted for him.

    Stop making excuses, he lost because millenials and zoomers can’t be assed to even turn out at their share of the national population, let alone the easy dominating share they could take within the democratic party.

    There were like 30 million ballots cast max in the 2016 primary, that is fucking nothing. The fact that Bernie didn’t landslide with as few as 15 million votes for his opponent is down to the fact that his supporters are loud obnoxious do nothings who have to be dragged by their hair and locked in the booth with no internet connection to even begin considering casting the fucking ballot.

    Fuck wanting to vote for someone, fuck wanting to be inspired, fuck your prayers for the rapture revolution to come and solve everything for you. Do your duty to those who genuinely cannot protect themselves and cast that boring milquetoast ballot while we fucking have them for you to bitch and moan about it not being exciting enough.

    America’s most vulnerable can’t afford for you to shirk your responsibility because the party’s manager didn’t deliver enough pizzazz and pandering to your karen ass self.
