by us (not in canada, but your shittier southern neighbour), it’s all beer cans.

like, bad enough you’re driving while chugging a tallboy of natty ice, but you gotta throw it in our yard on your way by, too?

i shouldn’t be surprised that the venn diagram is a circle, but for some reason i always am.

maybe a middle ground -

he (ie trump) and his team have done the slow walk and delay for everything we’ve seen publicly regarding legal matters. everything takes so much longer than it needs to (and then it’s a problem), so perhaps years of empirical evidence leads to an educated guess.

just to tack on come context from wikipedia -

“"Cowboy" was first used in print in 1725, and was used in the British Isles from 1820 to 1850 to describe young boys who tended the family or community cows.”

not to say it might have taken on some racial connotations later (or, in fact, if we believe swift’s words literally), but i’m not sure it’s 100%.

i’ve taken to watching one episode of ds9, one of voy, and one of snw a week, and i can’t agree more. i don’t even notice the resolution on the old two, it’s just how star trek is in my head from growing up - it feels right.

plus, too many rlm episodes where they show all the production equipment and mistakes that nobody noticed until the (ratio?) changed to widescreen, haha - i know it’s not the same as upscaling, but i don’t trust the studios/distributors 😂

i’m guessing it’s because the link was posted with no context, no opinion, no nothing.

perhaps if op explains what the link goes to and why it’s a good thing, people might click it and actually engage?

i didn’t downvote, but i do understand the sentiment!

i disagree - the word sliding can imply a passivity in things that current republican intent certainly counter-indicates.

i’m not generally pulled down slippery slopes against my will, original wording of the phrase aside.
