While they can definitely override his veto (and have the votes to) he has 10 days from when he receives a bill to either sign it or send it back. If he gets that bill within 10 days of the debt ceiling and he decides to sit on it (because he loves bankruptcy and that's his thing) then poo poo will hit the fan. You'd think Congress knows this and will avoid that situation. But it's Congress so...

cochise posted:Yes. There's even alt-right and antifa flavored furries that have it out for each other. There was some recent poo poo with those groups that drew the attention of the FBI and probably the ATF. There was a guy in a wolf outfit protesting the nazis in Boston last week with a sign about how nazis don't own wolf identities, or something like that. Dude must have been miserable in the heat.

If we're at the point where gold bugs (or lol bitcoiners) are the only people with actual cash, it was going to be a shitshow anyway regardless of what I did. Just like the Korean nuclear thing, it's one of those things that I'm trying to get over so I can operate normally during the day. No one is laughing at you. We all wake up at 2:30 in the morning wondering if this is the day that it all goes to poo poo. We've just resigned ourselves to the fact that humanity is inherently a self-destructive monkey species that should have never come out of the trees. Just relax, have a drink or some weed and join the rest of us at laughing at the absurdity of the universe. Once you stop giving a poo poo about anything, the water is fine.

It is also good to do calming rituals and take care of yourself. Distinguishing that from disaster preparedness allows you to do both things more effectively.

Only read the bolded parts then remember the Right-Wing reaction to the film's lead cast and the infamous "little white cuckball" image. Then remember you can see the same exact kind of critiscm on any show/movie/song/book that features progressive themes but regressive feel they have a right to have it pander to them. Edit: I'm not saying you can't like it, I'm saying "This is how white supremacists try to couch anti-diversity criticism in a way where the general populace sees it as reasonable and tricks the boardroom into approving more white-het-male lead movies."

I know stuff like this is nothing new, but I'm so loving tired of how disingenuous Right Wing messaging is. Like, I'm genuinely exhausted by it. How does anyone look at this and go 'yeah, gently caress the democrats!' (the answer is idiots. It's always idiots) For gently caress's sake, these guys control all three branches of government. how about a little bit of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for the failure to do anything resembling governing when they control the loving government! It's like writing a shopping list, going to the store with your quadruple-amputee spouse, putting none of the poo poo you actually wanted in the cart, and then getting home and shrieking 'WHY DIDN'T YOU GET ANY OF THE GROCERIES I WANTED YOU PIECE OF poo poo!" Meanwhile, the neighbors overhear this and go, "yeah gently caress that useless cripple why didn't he help put the side of beef in the cart with his two inch nubs." gently caress.

The victim carved up a dude like a pumpkin then sliced a cop before getting shot, something Pink News leaves out. Unless they are protesting that the police have Kiwi down as a man in paperwork, if that's the case then sure go ahead.

The Shortest Path posted:Furries are very much still a thing, and most of them hate the MLP folks too. It seems that the internet (except for a few really lovely corners) has pretty much settled on a "mostly harmless" label for furries. But it is worth noting that one of the arguments used by fundies trying to get a bathroom bill in Texas was that it would lead to furries and otherkin unleashing their "unbridled passions" to introduce "greater forms of depravity". https://twitter.com/lmcgaughy/status/893144059447046145 Which is clearly silly talk. If anything Furries would be against unbridled passions because many have put a lot of thought into the selection and style of that bridle dammit. Seriously though, I think that non-binary folks are going to be the next ones up for fear mongering. I'm a bit surprised the anti-trans folks haven't already latched onto gender fluidity more to back up their "a guy will just say he's a woman to go into the women's bathroom!" bullshit.

ThePeavstenator posted:they want to gently caress the ponies Pretty sure there's only one Lyra plush. Is it unreasonable to just say "it's a good show and these days it's trivially easy to setup fan communities around it"? Also pretty sure it was the other way around wrt Bronies/Furries. It was Bronies trying to distance themselves from Furries, and I think that was primarily at the outset of Friendship is Magic's fandom starting up. I don't think there are many furries that hate MLP any more than non furries.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:The night after Trump was elected I went to an anti-Trump "not our president" rally. There were a bunch of furries mingled in with the anti-Trump protestors and, opposing them, a roughly equal number of confederate-flag-waving Trumpites, some with swastika tattoos. I took one look, thought "well, I know which side I'm on," and went over and stood next to the furries. Furries are tragic, neonazis are a tragedy.

Also MLP reminder. Two times it came up during the 2016 crazyness. 1) Zodiac Killer said the apple horse was his favorite. 2) When Donnie Wife #3894759852398 rippoffed Michelle Obama's speech, a talking head went to TV and said that Tropy-wife#2348975928759 was obviously quoting a MLP episode.

If people are starting to hoard or excessively prepare in order to treat anxiety symptoms, it may be useful to look at treating the anxiety separately from disaster preparedness too.

Also, Blue Footed Booby and Drone? Thank you so much for replying in good faith. Both of you really helped me start getting my thinking in a better place. Especially BFB, because you have me thinking something that's a bit smarter in the medium term and is worth doing regardless of the debt issue. And it doesn't involve anything crazy like keeping huge amounts of money hidden in my house. Thanks both of you, and I'm sorry if I shitted this thread up with dumb things, though I doubt it could any worse than the anime derail a few days ago.

that trump tweet about the debt ceiling, despite being stupid as all loving hell, is actually somewhat good news it shows that trump has been convinced he just wants the stupid thing raised and doesn't want it paired with stuff. if he's saying they shoulda tacked it on to the va bill, he has been convinced that a clean bill is the way to go instead of some idiot HFC proposal.

The thing that really makes me sad about trans-hate is that even if transition wasn't something that can keep trans folks from killing themselves, why the gently caress should anyone care? It's the same thing as gay marriage. Jim becoming Jen or Jen becoming Jim and presenting as their preferred gender has absolutely 0 impact on anyone except Jim/Jen and their romantic partner. So why the gently caress is it anyone else's business? If it makes them happier than they are right now, it's something we all should either support or just not give a poo poo about. It's why all this anti-LGBT poo poo makes me nauseated. They're not forcing you to get gay married or transition or anything else. They just want to live their life in peace and bigots aren't letting them and working to convince other people they're scary and should be punished. It's really depressing/upsetting. I hope all the trans goons out there are staying safe and mentally healthy through this. I can't imagine how much it sucks.

Red Baron posted:I did not know that, I'll correct my post. I don't blame you for not knowing, cause "sex" and "gender" have been used interchangeably for years, but when talking about trans issues it's important to know the distinction. Sex is physical and biological, gender is social and psychological.
