It still impresses that some women hate their own gender that much.

When you are completely absorbed into a world of old white dudes dunking on their lessers, you create an identity that is seperate from your "lesser" origin in order to navigate and advance that world.

Just like that ship crash. You see pissbottles in the CIC you either start pissing in bottles to fit in or you avoid as much contact as possible. They both lead to crashed ships.

The Boeing 737-200QC is the undisputed workhorse of the skies.

:allbuttons:

Edit: one time I took a ship into port without a pilot with only one radar that sometime worked, in a snow storm, with sea ice two feet thick and a foot of ice on the foredeck to #2 hatch.

Another time, while I was reporting to the captain that a deckhand had punched a hole in the deck by dropping a tool, the HF antenna fell off because it was rusted through.

So trust me when I use that smiley, I use it with a certain amount of nautical expertise. Jesus fuuuuuck.

Trump attacking Warren and Warren continually being defenseless has proven that the decorum wing of the party has learned absolutely nothing since 2016.

thats not the decorum part of the party thats just warren. She's a really nice college professor but isn't a political knife fighter.

I'd actually add Warren to the list of not-poo poo candidates so far, up there with Brown and Sanders. I'm not impressed by her tepid pushback at Trump so far, but she has some pretty solid ideas on how to unfuck America's version of capitalism that she actually made real world progress on (CFPB, voting against dodd-frank roll back, as lovely as Dodd Frank is), and that ain't nothin. I don't think she goes far enough, but that's true of pretty much everyone.

I think part of it is that Trump is basically an IRL internet troll which none of the olds running for president have any experience dealing with. Anyone who isn't 400 years old and is halfway intelligent isn't going to fall for that poo poo.

In a way Trump's addiction to posting makes him more culturally similar to people our age (like AOC) and we deal with that kind of poo poo every day.

I mean, it'd be nice if Warren could easily dunk on Trump, but wasn't that a big complaint people had about Clinton last go around? She spend most of the debate dunking on him and saying how terrible of a person he was instead of talking about her policy proposals and letting Trump run his stupid mouth and look dumb on his own.

Now Warrens doing that and suddenly it's "yEaH tHeSe DeCoRuM pOlS aRe sO bAd!"

If she just ignored it then yeah who cares but when she goes and gets trolled into taking a DNA test that proves him right then it's a big fuckin' problem.

I got a hitler-pony for being one of the people in that thread that "wouldn't shut up about 'casual racism'".

You see, mentioning the "casual racism" that was rampant on the Goonfleet Mumble would cause long derails and shitstorms in the thread, and therefore people were not allowed to post that they thought there was no such thing as "casual racism" and that dumb edgelords on comms needed to be kicked the gently caress out.

Ahh yes EVE, the game that introduced me to ironic racism, 1488, the occasional autistic pedophile (Xenuria), guys who groom icelandic teens to do sex acts for them on cam (BFM), and people who should learn to be less handsy and stay the gently caress out the kink clubs (Mittani). Oh and Russians willing to cut the power to your house to win at videogames.

Donnie wants to add a religious exemption for insurance-covered birth control. It would take effect today. 13 states sued. A judge dunked on Donnie, blocking the whole thing in a nation-wide injunction, but the judge's Appeals Circuit told the judge to limit the dunking. Judge revised the injunction to just the 13 states that sued.

In a different lawsuit, a different judge dunked on Donnie again, with another new nation-wide injunction.

I'm worried because Donnie doesn't have much to lose now. He failed to get anything done during two years of unified government, Mueller is closing in, the FBI potentially found some damning stuff, and the House Dems are going to start issuing subpoenas. He has no incentive not to wreck everything. He's privately said he wants to leave the government shut down even if he manages to get funding through declaring a national emergency, just to punish the Dems. The only way we might get the government back open is a veto proof majority and McConnel and friends don't give a gently caress about how much damage they do because they'll turn around in a couple years, blame the Dems, and a sizable portion of the electorate will go along with them.

I'm still expecting a blaze of glory where he issues insane executive orders through twitter like declaring Barron the heir to all his titles including the presidency, fires every FBI employee all at once, declares that there are no more federally recognized native american tribes, and confirms that the CIA killed Kennedy because he faked the moon landings.

I don't see it as that surprising. If you went into that speech against the wall, your favorite President (me) and his good brains didn't make any argument for flipping. Likewise, if you wanted a wall it was a prowall rambling.

It's surprising in that a poll got such a lopsided result. Even if you polled opinions on prostate cancer you might not see 89% thumbs-down.

I would've expected 20% at minimum, just from chuds lying to support their president's rhetorical skills and/or random people misunderstanding the question.

Meanwhile, brain geniuses at the White House have decided that inviting random non-Pelosi Democratic housemembers to negotiate would change things because????

I mean, I read the 89% as not changing their minds meaning that people who thought the wall was dumb didn't stop thinking that, and people who thought the wall was a great idea also didn't stop thinking that.

It doesn't what your thoughts are, it just asks if you changed your mind.
