And then we have beavers which have seemingly mastered the use of gates in order to direct and impede flow

If the media would quit making articles out of X posts and hosting said posts for clickthroughs that'd be great.

They'll even link to X in articles specifically discussing how bad X or Musk is, like no drop is responsible for the flood

The only people wishing for civil war are too short-sighted to understand how horribly it would go for them. Ports, airports, water treatment plants, data centers, power stations etc etc etc predominantly located in urban areas. Good luck to the AR-15 loving whackjobs when they're instantly landlocked and deprived of foreign trade and means to communicate. They turn on the TV and the only broadcasts they'd see are "this can end now and it all starts with you"

Trump is gonna ramble on about what a "woman job" means in an attempt at damage control, mid-debate with Kamala, and the collective sound of 100 million Americans sharply inhaling will echo through all the streets when he unintentionally endorses her on national TV

Votes are the only thing that's gonna make him lose, and we're gonna need enough votes that something like that couldn't be remotely feasible. I'm hoping no one reads all these articles and thinks there's no reason for them to vote because it's already looking like a slam dunk because it's absolutely not gonna be a slam dunk

They still don't want an honest 95%+ ethical person in any role because it might conflict with the corporation's desire to have workers rationalize that the needs of the corporation are more important than ethics, ie not wanting to hire potential whistleblowers.

They want ethical but only to the point that they're willing to be unethical for the corporation, but not to the point that they'd ever be unethical towards the corporation. Basically sketchy 'ride or die' logic

... Somebody needs to take this image and make it the background for a JD Vance Linux distro. That shit would be even more of a meme than Hannah Montana

It's not really weird if you look at it like their brains quit developing at 8 years old. Their entire platform is basically 'vaginas are gross, school is dumb, I want a bigger allowance, and stranger danger'

They probably view Vance less as a threat and more as an awkward and socially oblivious guy

Most of it's probably landing in a high yield savings account. Some people want money for the sake of wanting more money, other people just wanna pay off their mortgage early, throw everything on autopay, and never stress about that aspect ever again
