I have always thought marshmallow maties made more sense than lucky charms. It’s only natural for marshmallows adrift in a milk sea to turn to piracy.

There are some that are a heck of a lot better. Oxfam, Ben & Jerries, maybe Valve; but it does seem that on a large enough timeline all of them turn to the dark side.

Russia did start it, that’s why the Minsk Accords were a thing to begin with. You’re the one pretending history starts at some politically convenient point.

Ukraine is a distinct nation with its own culture, language, history and art. They should be free to self govern, not be conquered by a neighbor. There is no justification for Russia’s invasion, it’s a genocide.

Russia started the war and they have the power to end it. That’s not ‘warmongering’ it’s the only path to lasting peace. Fuck war, fuck Putin.

Biden

Yeah, they should have. Congress ended up doing the opposite, forcing him to continue funding. Democrats don’t have nearly the party unity that Republicans do around immigration, I think that’s why it keeps being leveraged as a wedge issue.

I thought you were saying they were ineffective at enacting their agenda because they didn’t use rescission packages.

If we’re talking about what you just said I have no quarrel.

I’m with you there but you could not have got even a simple majority of elected representatives to agree to that. It would have to be something that Democrats broadly support.

Well a rescission package can only be used to cut spending, so it couldn’t have been used by the Democrats to pass new spending.

What do you think they should have used it to cut?

The only differences I can think of is not chickening out on the tariffs and forcing the interest rate lower to kick off runaway inflation.

Fuck off, imprisonment for being trans is destructive and outright evil, so is bombing prisoners.

When lead combines with acid it creates lead acetate which interacts with the sugar receptors in the mouth. I’m not sure why, I think the molecules just happen to have a similar shape.

EDIT: after looking at the molecule for lead acetate, it appears to resemble two simple carbohydrates connected by an atom of lead, so I’d imagine the receptor sees the outside and assumes it’s something sweet.

Same, it was a good instance.
