  1. Right, but if you start with Carolina reaper it will also cause the release of your stomach contents and likely later liquids that make your anus burn. The easiest way to feel better is to help someone else. Paradoxically altruism is selfish. Add in some exercise. Good sleep. Going for a walk. Finding a way to work with your hands. These all help.
  2. The EU is stepping up and already paying more to NATO per capita than other countries (especially Poland who has more skin in the game). Spending based on GDP is also way up. Problem is they can’t ramp up quickly enough and won’t be able to supply Ukraine with munitions until closer to 2025. The US is the only country who can help Ukraine bridge the gap and get them enough weapons to survive through the rest of this year. The US also wants to do this. Over 70% of the populace supports it. If a bill came to the floor, it would pass. The problem is one man trying to save his job. He’s Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and he won’t allow the bill to come to the floor for that vote. Don’t blame America. Blame MAGA morons and their Cheeto Mussolini godhead who seems always to want what’s best for Putin (and are perhaps more susceptible to Putins social media manipulation farms)
  3. It’s not America per se, but the right wing. And when the US is no longer dominant, it’s China who will take over. Be careful what you wish for.
  4. Har. I’ll go at this another way then: Climate systems can paradoxically become confusing when you oversimplify them.
  5. But polls of actual voters do Most claim the 2020 election was stolen. It’s like a purity test.
  6. Except a conviction will lead to him getting fewer votes even among his ardent supporters and thus not serving at all given how tight the margins appear to be https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/americans-divided-whether-president-biden-received-special-treatment-classified-documents-report
  7. Facts don’t pierce the cults bubble. There is only one godhead, his skin is the color or Doritos, and his enemies are trying to hurt me and my family. All praise. Jonestown koolaid.
  8. Perhaps Biden can benefit from all the AI deepfake-ery and position himself as the 900 year old Master Yoda just training the padawans
  9. I’d make a friendly wager with you that this changes within the next 9-12 months. It’s being actively pushed around the globe, suggesting support is greater than it is, with IMO the express intention of wedging people apart. Same things appear to be happening in Israel, India, and probably a few other countries that don’t start with the letter “I.”
  10. I believe they do, but the President has said he's running for reelection and "the Democrats" weren't asked for their opinion on the matter. Challenging a sitting president in your own party is also quite an uphill climb quite likely to fail spectacularly. She'd be more likely to lose than Biden, IMO. Please tell me how I personally can place a better presidential candidate on the ballot. Do I need to save up my UPC codes from Betty Crocker products and mail them in perhaps? Maybe dance a little jig while singing a sea shanty? The tendency is toward hypocrisy and doublespeak.
  11. If Biden were 20 years younger, he’d win by like 20+ points. He’s been a good President during hard times with a solid team. The age attack just doesn’t work for me given our candidate set since Biden had only just turned 3 when Trump was born. Biden’s old, but Trump is old and crazy and a dangerous asshole.
  12. Size of balloon and its general construction matter here, but balloons carry tens of humans at a time all the time, so of course a balloon carrying a kitten is possible.
  13. Nope. Also, sure. Whatever.
  14. I am holding to a whisper of a hope that they are intentionally planning to do a candidate switcher-oo at the convention where Biden steps down and Harris / Newsom then blast a bunch of fresh energy into the race talking about things that actually matter (aka: something other than Cheeto Mussolini)
  15. No. I used DALL-e like any self-respecting forum-curmudgeon might.
  16. Foreign autocrats will pay it through back channels so he becomes even more of a dog in a leash subservient to their desires and demands than he already is.
  17. Mine is similar, though I paid closer to $800 about 7 years ago and I buy 2-3lbs bags of beans at Costco when they go on sale. I’ve saved several hundred dollars and had a better higher quality experience everyday since.
  18. Yeah, valid point ✌️ We may see a contested convention. Regardless of his legal posture.
  19. And that’s why she’s down in GOP polls and votes
  20. How would you target the ads? What population would be most convincible? By now, after 9 years of every 3rd news story being about him, everyone knows exactly who they’re voting for in a few months (or more specifically, whom they’re voting against)
