From the article.

We have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz. That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable," said the letter, which was first reported by USA Today.

Remember what he did with TS clearance and his children. The alternative is a national security risk.

They call it the 1 star state for a reason. -guy from Houston

you are wrong, nowhere am I advocating for anything. I’m saying human overpopulation will lead to our doom. This response is why I don’t really care about sustainability anymore. I’m not having kids, feel free to keep your head buried in the sand. Asshat

Technology isn’t going to save humanity. Greatly reducing population size by limiting reproduction is the only chance for a long future for humans. Thats the most direct path, but also at odds with all of our forms of government and economics. China couldt afford to keep doing it and they understand this. Its the same with the earths ecology. We would need a massive enlightening and there are far too many material and lifestyle choices and campaigns to sway people away from our staus quo. Humanity is doomed by human greed and jealousy, it always was. But thats fine, once you come to terms with it, and if you caught it before having kids, its a pretty freeing understanding.

Sounds like most famous structures in the city. When it was built the locals called it classless and gaudy, including the empire state and wtc. this thing doesn’t do much for me but it’s different and one more thing that makes an aging NYC distinct against new cities with modern architecture. Sure it’s a symbol of wealth and greed. So we’re some of the greatest works left from the Renaissance. However This chapel to euthanasia could be closer to wall Street.

Which makes a lot of sense considering a lot of Dev shops went from waterfall oriented projects to continual devops. When fallout New Vegas came out, there were only a few MMOs that were selling horse armor. Now that has become the standard for almost all multiplayer games. Every multiplayer game now has its own in-game store to better suck dry addicts and make producers life lazier and easier. And since we’re pushing out so many buggy rapid releases, the devs need to keep working to hot fix what traditional ly would have been QAd and improved before release. This is clear to me and I have never worked in a game studio.

Beautifully said. And honestly I kind of forgot about this and its a major theme. I got prrtty hung up on magic leaving/dying and the fact there were still humans like the haradrim or Easterling. I think aaragon made peace with them? I really dont know how I managed to not weight his reign with more importance, guess it shows my own bias pessimism. He was basically the perfect archetype and all the symbolism of him planting the 4th tree, etc making him more a messiah than hungry for power. I didnt really think he purged humanity of sin though … did he ever go so far to suggest that?

Well you definitely right about the motivation. I guess my thoughts were 1. all the elves could have just bailed on ME but some stuck around. 2. Aragon in the books always intended on being king and was further motivated by elronds requirement to marry his daughter so as much as he may have done it to lead from the front it was still a game of houses. 3. Overall you absolutely right about the forth being prosperous i had the industrialisation of bag end in mind in particular. Yes sams family fixes it over 3 generations and it was 1 town trading with sauromon, but it def was the exploitative example I thought of. 4.Other than the wizard and hobbits it was all nobility in the fellowship etc… last is the “height of humanity” were the early numenorians so what was left of civilization by the lotr saga anyway was diminished

Thanks for checking my generalization I should be more careful not to twist tokens intent

The fellowship, especially the human members were made up of aristocrats doing things for honor and Valor. But most humans in 4th age me were living in squalor, a shell of a former great empire and people. Even the movies did a decent job of showing the distrust, violence and squalor and curruptability of average men.

All that said yes show less toxicity and more role model responses to hard situations is a good idea. But drama sells.

Well said… Its the only rally I ever been to, and i left there with a shred of hope that has long since evaporated. Denver was also a blast.

Texas is that guy in the giant lifted truck who is insecure about how they look. They are as proud as new Yorkers are about their little slice of crap. but unlike NY who promotes we got the best experiences/opportunities, they value freedoms. Except they REALLY REALLY dont. Ita a huge lie they lie to themselves and everyone else about constantly.

Tdont kid yourself, look at the numbers, Trump is propped up by gen x. The demographic loudest against biden are gunna be around a long time.

We are hiring a fellow human for low wages but you might get great tips what do i need to do? youll be a servant to rude dirtbags. can i call myself a waitress instead please? No our culture requires official titles to be fellow human for all staff and patrons and you will all go by the name Sam

They are in denial, it was an amazing place and still is in some ways. I went from loving it to realizing it was basically a walmart that helped drown out the mainstreet web. Small forums and irc chats may be too much to moderate now that so much of humanity is online, and it is truly suprising people are willing to mod sites for free that prioritize monetization over community and sustainability. Sure mods power tripped 20 years ago, but in many ways it was easier to find an alternative run by sme’s or fans of whatever that just did it for community. So much so they donated their time and money… but now, Why spend money when you can create a sub / community. But then you are stuck with that platform as it evolves. It took me a while but i finally accept defederation is as critical as the knowlege base that we all helped create.

A cardboard box, Newsome, Hickenlooper, anyone under 60 years old with a career organizing people. Doesnt matter the dem party wont nominate anyone.

Did you say the same thing when it was hillary losing in the polls to trump, with bernie winning… We are about to relearn some history because of bluedog pride. The media wants trump badly, we should be a bit more than alarmed.

I started referring to them as the democrat party too after the Hillary shoehorn BS. They don’t get a free pass just because they arent gop. Fuck em both, we could do much better. This aint a good guys on both sides thing,the democratic party has failed democracy even if they arent a party of full blown facists
