Ohio has Issue 1 regarding gerrymandering...
...which the Ohio Supreme Court already told them to unfuck and the GOP was like, "nah, fam"...
...and which LaRose obfuscated (just like he did with the abortion amendment) via confusing language and outright lies (under the guide of free speech, apparently) to trick people into voting No
So, a No vote keeps the same crap we have now where a majority of the state has no voice. A Yes vote gives everyone a more equal say
is my current spam inbox on my texts messages. I engage sometimes a la the top text, but also my name isn't Renay and I've had this phone number for many many years
My sister in law is a Republican, but doesn't like Trump, but also buys in to a lot of what he says (her entire personality is "pro-life")
Yesterday, she's talking to my wife, who is one of those people that keeps her conversations on speaker when she's in the house:
SIL: did you guys ever vote early
W: yep, last several elections
SIL: I think I'm going to test them and vote on my mail-in, early, and in person on Tuesday
Me: you will go to jail for that...
They just gobble up whatever they hear in their echo chamber. Nevermind all the Republicans who have gone to jail for voter fraud
Also SIL: well the people who died two years ago that vote won't go to jail
W: yes but the people that voted in their place did...
I'm just so exhausted trying to understand remotely where they come from
Omg can you imagine if Rogan fiees up a dutchie and Trump, feeling like he can't be outdone since he's the "alpha male," gets way too fucked up and let's all his bullshit out like "yeah I'm only doing this for the pussy, Joe. I love pussy bigly you know I used to grab it accordion hands"
I may also be fucked up on the dutchie
Vince should hang and so should Linda (both for a number of things)
They knew about it, fired everyone, then rehired them
But also TKO purchased them much more recently than these events, and the DOJ knew about it after it happened and went after him for steroids instead. It's stupid bc there's only a handful of people left who could (rightfully) face anything on this, but I don't think TKO is one of them? Can someone ELI5 this?
Behind the Bastards did SIX whole episodes on VKM which is a great listen
Guild Wars 2
Maybe like 5-10 mins of Grim Dawn here and there
In the tabletop space, my group is recording season 3 of our podcast and this season we are playing Mausritter, and it's a blast
This is pretty much the only video game I play like I'll hop on Arkham Knight or Grim Dawn or literally anything else for maybe 30 mins and I'm like... Nah Mechanist go BRRRRRRT
Wife and I both are currently finishing SotO storyline, already did Janthir so I guess we'll try and get sky scale after the story
2300+ hrs since pre launch and I literally haven't done half of what the game has to offer
This a lot but also they grew up in the time before their hero did away with the Fairness Doctrine, so when they were formative and watching Cronkite and Rather et al on TV, it wasn't obscured through an echo chamber opinion piece masquerading as The Truth ™️so they never needed to think critically about their news sources bc I'm sure most of what was reported was factual (albeit whitewashed I'm sure)
Some fast food places near me have started using automated ordering at the window ie a chatbot
Also order-yourself screens in the inside ordering zones
Which I guess is cool or whatever but some of us don't mind human interaction and are fine paying .50 extra for a taco if that keeps someone employed until we can figure out how to move to a more automated world without fucking over those at the bottom
Yes. Gravy Team 6 has spent generations fighting an asymmetrical war against Russia then the US and I'm sure they train every day at Taliban compounds or are remnants of the Republican Guard
Be real: they sit in their garage drinking shitty beer and jerking off their unsatisfying-to-anyone cocks to guns, trucks, and Trump
I mean, they did a great job Jan 6, when Babbitt did not comply, of fighting back and showing big ol tyrannical gov! /s
Jk, they ran like little girls as soon as the reality set in
Lemme see any of these fucks hump full battle rattle 15 miles before we talk about them staging an insurgent war against the US
Christ, I bet all but a handful can't do a single pull-up
Yes, there are people in that culture that are capable of small-arms engagement, using fire and maneuver to close with engage and destroy the enemy, but the VAST majority of them are fatbody chodes who fantasize about living in right-wing Divergence or some other young adult fantasy novel series

I never get a good answer regarding why they think a government should be ran like a business. They don't fill the same niches, and the Constitution clearly lays out the role of government:
Nothing about consolidating profits into the hands of a few, nothing about profits at all, actually. Nothing about buying/manufacturing and selling goods or services
And why do they always trot out the worst possible examples of businessmen as who they want to run said imaginary corpocountry (Trump is self explanatory, but Romney's entire ethos was buying companies and bankrupting them)?
