The filibuster disproportionately benefits the GOP anyway. Their MO is status quo, prevent reform, do nothing, dismantle. They will always use it more. It’s why we have no public option for Medicare. And it’s been used excessively since Obama.

I mean, 82 hours… I’d say you got your money’s worth.


Do you not understand competition? There are plenty of games out there that are competitive, not to mention sports in general.
How wonderfully reductive!


It’s just friendly rivalry, anyone who is experiencing actual hatred is unhinged and needs help. It’s mostly just bluster. I’d say there’s more animosity between fans of sports teams than gamers on different platforms.


I’m rewatching The Newsroom right now and weeping at the state of journalism.


I may predict things but I’m also able to immerse myself in things pretty easily. Sometimes I feel like The Watcher.


That’s a good point too. Perhaps there’s more interstellar communication going on out there with the likes of Nova Core and other technologically advanced space faring groups that word would spread. Surely people would be curious as hell as to why half of life turned to dust randomly and go looking for answers.
I imagine many societies with no definitive answer would probably end up in religious hysteria.
Before the snap Thanos wasn’t necessarily a secret, he was just slowly but surely culling 50% of people on many worlds, one world at a time. Even nicknamed The Mad Titan. Maybe people would put two and two together.
But yeah, I mean I’m just trying to make excuses for a psychopath’s crazed plan lol, that’s all I got!


If you want to try and rationalize it, I think he might say that the psychological scarring is necessary for all existing societies to change to more sustainable models, or risk another such culling in the future. Due to exponential growth of life, doubling resources, especially while societies continue to abuse those resources wouldn’t probably wouldn’t do anything long term (in his mind).
I am skeptical if such psychological damage can make enough long term inter generational impact, but hey it’s a theory.


I thought states are in control of elections?


I’m sure diabetics would love to hear your opposition. Why should diabetics care about trans if you’re opposing their insulin?


I’m surprised someone wasn’t assassinated to prevent us from getting this.
Yeah I’m running whatever stock auto updating OS came with my S23.
Yeah, when I was a kid I was miserable in briefs until I learned boxers existed. I used to stretch out briefs and even partially tore them to make them slightly more comfortable to me.


Same, was speaking from experience as well. I consider myself recovered from the depression now, but it was definitely something I needed to proactively address.


ADHD can correlate with depression. You still need to treat the depression though. Untreated depression will indeed blind you to anything positive about anything.


Yeah I personally think Q is a catch-all and makes additional letters redundant. I don’t even know what the full acronym is anymore.


Yeah that’s not hyperbolic at all. Congrats, you’re the reason support for trans issues is waning. Newsom wants to exterminate Trans/Gay/Poors? Citation needed.
Why? Their QC sucks.
