A million up-votes, if I could. Thank you.

Of course he is senile (see etymology of senator). You are thinking of “demented”.
Ahrg. Stupid meme generator. You get the point. :)
Then we both agree. :)
If might was money, we’d all be rich. He might not. Missunderstand me correctly, I know it’s not optimal and I would have preferred something else. All I’m saying is, there are not two bad choices. Only one bad. The other is eeeeh.
Well, one of them has managed quite well for the past few years. Sure he is old. Sure he might die. Is he a bad option because of this? No. He dies, you get Harris. Maybe not exciting but not Republican crazy bad.
Absolutely. There are limits and gray zones in everything. But sometimes you just have lying demagoges on one side and reasonable (but far from perfect and oftentimes really shitty) people on the other side. I wish more people could tell the difference.
There is a difference between spin and lies. Truth and false. Garbage and near-garbage.
Exactly. Which is why a despot is not wanted. Much better with a small revolution every now and again; i.e., an election.
At least it would help if you didn’t oscillate between the two. Less evil, more evil, less evil, more evil. Pick less evil each time!
And when they are no longer wise?
Despot means you have absolute power. It doesn’t mean you use it badly. It just means you have the potential to.
Sometimes. And when they dont, there is no one to stop them. It’s the age old problem of a wise despot. Just dressed in different clothes.
Me: Please let me know how many homeless people each church would need to host to help all the homeless people
ChatGPT: Each church in the United States would need to host approximately 1.87 homeless people to accommodate all the homeless individuals in the country.
That is truly absurd!
Agreed. Check it out.
Maybe “begs a question” but not “begs the question”.

Today’s PSA was brought to you by Novartis; bringing pills to people since 1422.
I’m sure many people will tell you the same: not voting for Biden is the equivalent of voting for Trump. Play it out in your minds eye; explaining to your children why you voted for Trump.
It served its purpose though. It created a union.
It did make sense, but I understand why it might not seem like it to “modern Americans”. In fact, it’s quite an interesting mental challenge of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.
We have a similar issue today in the EU. Do we base it one “one country, one vote” or on “one person, one vote”? Both sides of the argument is valid. Why would small countries join if they give up complete independence to the giants? I imagine the situation was very similar when the US was formed.
I think the flaw in the US system is they failed to forsee that states (or rather, people) would see themselves as one country and not a collection of countries. There should have been a time limit on the discrepancy of voting power.
Sure, for a hundred years, a state is where your loyalty, your feeling of self, your center is at. But as time moves on, you are less an Ohioian and more of s USian. Similarly, I would hope, you are less of a German and more of an EUian.
Neither blocks seem to have taken this into consideration but it makes it none the less true. Future generations paying the price for previous. Yada yada…
Used to be true. See countries affecting populations in foreign countries. Propaganda is not local.
Have it on a 30 minute delay and fact-check everything with on screen notices.
