Can I teleport myself into Voyager I? I’d like to see what’s out there as I go…

Sounds cool, but probably would become boring AF real quick.

Who’d know?

GFY, Elon.

^Sorry, just had to get that out of my system…^

Frankly would rather that than coded religious messages that encourage bigotry. At least (some) of the negative effects of violence are usually shown - not so much when it comes to thinking you’re better than others because you were told your Sky-Daddy said so.

He was a bit sour on the whole experience.

^I’ll see myself out…^

Is there a line I need to get into for the chance to be the next person to repost this?

Well, if you’re gonna get picky about their gender dysphoria…

The ability to make amendments to the Constitution ensures no change is actually permanent. If enough people come around on the subject, any change can be undone or revised.

Unfortunately, the people who voted for those making the undesired change will likely never fully appreciate - or be in any significant way held accountable for - the damage done by their reckless choice in who they supported to run the country into the ground. Those who knew better, lost, and had their lives destroyed will likely never receive any recompense.

Your preference for someone to have the name Amanda seems like a rather oddly specific kink…

It resets with each major setback. Until you prevent people from routinely electing the worst options for your goals, the second-worst option in what is basically only a two-party system is always gonna have someone else to shift the blame onto. Without an INCREDIBLY major change in attitude of the vast majority of the voting populace, there will DEFINITELY be a civil war if you try to immediately impose a full set of leftist ideals in full. Too many people are just not even open to that shit, let alone ready to embrace it.

War is another major economy driver, so no - it would not “crush” their economy. If you think in the current Internet age the Chinese government can be organized against so easily that it’ll be overthrown by their own people, then you know so little about China that further discussion on this topic with you is a complete waste of time.

Whatever it was, I’ll lay good odds it probably felt far too long…

Snuggled up together naked.

Oh, wait - I thought my text-to-speech app said “youth in Asia…”

🤷

EDIT: Too many serious folks in here…

I’m hoping you forgot the /s. They definitely could be far better, but to say they don’t care about any of it is just untrue, and reeks of ultra-leftist “all or nothing NOW” attitudes.

As far as the article quote goes, I think it needs tweaking. The attitude many people have that Democrats care about progressive issues is mainly reenforced by comparing them to their only serious political competition, which by comparison makes Democrats generally seem like the party of good Samaritans when they’re really just somewhat more reasonable than their opposition.

China’s MO is to antagonize. They keep pushing knowing that sooner or later some individual they’re antagonizing is going to fuck up and cross the line, and they’ll be able to go all in on a “response” while blaming the other side for starting it.

China’s government likes to play both sides against the middle. With a population the size of theirs, I wouldn’t be the least surprised if they were perfectly fine throwing a few people under the bus on this.

Yeah, he was well known for spreading STDs throughout the universe - including crabs.

So… they banned social media for a whole 15 seconds?
