A bullshit excuse to pretend a leftist “can’t win” even though South Carolina won’t vote Democrat in the general regardless.

(Speaking as an early Millennial)

I have a gigantic cabinet in my dining room/kitchen (not much wall between them so it’s kinda the same space). It’s 8 feet tall, solid hardwood except for the glass doors, and was originally a built-in from a house in the next neighborhood over. They put it out on the curb and I saw it, hitched up my utility trailer, brought it home and installed it. Best curb find so far.

I use it as a pantry because my house small and doesn’t have a closet-style pantry.

I also have a set of fine china that a friend gave me as a wedding present (even though we didn’t have a gift registry), but the pattern isn’t really our style and I’ve never taken it out of the box. I don’t have plans to buy other fancy dishes, either. I’m very happy with my cheap Corelle (except for the fact that they discontinued the pattern and I wish I had more sets of it).

So, technically, I “have” both china and a china cabinet, but it is very much just a Boomer thing anyway.

Didn’t they literally just finally get the electromagnetic catapults working correctly, years late and way over-budget?

I mean, criticism of the system was justified at one point, but throwing it out just after they finally sunk enough costs to fix it is the stupidest possible course of action. Yet again, it’s as if Trump is a Manchurian candidate trying to US power on purpose.

Guess this is that small government the conservatives keep talking about.

It literally is. “Small government” is a euphemism for “let corporations get away with shit.”

And they say us Americans are wasteful, SMH!

Nah, Biden’s biggest mistake was undoubtedly appointing conservative do-nothing Merrick Garland instead of somebody who would actually do their fucking job and prosecute Trump’s crimes.

Everything else is dwarfed in comparison to that. Biden is going to go down in history worse than Neville Chamberlain, as the President who let the fascists destroy the country on his watch and did fuck-all to stop them.

We have a 2025 Nissan Kicks - sure it’s SUV shaped, but it’s not tall or have any of the issues typically associated with SUVs (I’m not an expert on these issues - happy to be educated here) - it really is just an SUV shaped car.

I want to see one of those image overlay comparisons done between a Nissan Kicks (or similar small crossover) and a pre-WWII sedan:

“Cars” (as opposed to “trucks” or “vans”) have been lower to the ground for a long time until recently, but there is precedent for them being tall if you go back far enough.

In some ways it kinda is, though. The point of ultra-processing is either (a) to make the food easier to eat, which can be bad because the hard-to-digest parts like fiber are important for health too or (b) make it taste better, which can be bad because it encourages overeating.

Well, he could have, up until the deadline the other day.

As for “legally,” guess what: stopping him would require Mitch to file a lawsuit and show up to win the case, which is exactly the fucking point anyway! So the governor should absolutely gone ahead with the appointment regardless of whether it was “legal” and dared the GOP to object to it!

Like it or not, because of fuckheads like McConnell, this is how US politics works now. You have to try every dirty trick to gain advantage, or you lose to the other assholes who do.

There is a vacancy. If that’s wrong, Mitch is welcome to prove otherwise.

When I search for “App Store” and click through Google’s bullshit, Aptoide is still the only thing that comes up. Where are all the others, like F-Droid and Obtanium and whatnot?

(Also I’m salty that the term “app store” is winning even to describe Free Software repositories that don’t stoop to being “stores,” but never mind that.)

Web browser tabs.

(I only have 64GB, but that’s my answer. Firefox still eventually runs out of memory and crashes, BTW. Not blaming the browser itself; I think there’s a memory leak in the JS in some of the tabs I keep open.)

Instead of sanctuary districts for dims we’ve got concentration camps for immigrants.

It’s a cliche at this point, but I think that means we’re in the mirror universe.

The Bell Riots were supposed to have happened two years ago.

Everyone who voted for that ought to be immediately jailed for contempt of court.

A good ol’ fashioned damnatio memoriae!

he seems aware that the answers given need to be fact checked.

[X] doubt

I am 100% certain Tommy fucking Tuberville’s notion of “fact checking” consists solely of asking “does this confirm my shitty, racist and anti-scientific biases or not?”

Honestly, popularity. If lots of other people use it, chance are somebody did that sort of check already.

Fallout 76 doesn’t count as a sequel to Fallout 4 in the same way that Elder Scrolls Online doesn’t count as a sequel to Skyrim. MMOs just aren’t the same kind of game as a single-player RPG.

the Wasteland hadn’t changed at all despite it now being centuries since the bombs fell

That’s one of the things that annoys me about Fallout: it’s just so unrealistically barren. I mean, we have real-life examples in places like Hiroshima and Chernobyl, and the reality is that pretty damn quickly after the bombs, they’ll be just as green again as normal. Don’t get me wrong, obviously there should still be mutated creatures and ruins and stuff, but it should all be super-overgrown, too.

Not to mention, centuries is plenty of time for civilization to at least clean up a lot of the debris and such, and even make decent progress recovering. Realistically, the state of the world in Fallout is more appropriate for a setting a decade or less after the war.

As far as depictions of life after nuclear war goes, I wish we could have a game more like Alas, Babylon.
