He’s right.

The only thing that will save the United States is overturning Citizens United. Everything else is secondary.

If you want representatives who are there as actual public servants, allowing them to accept money from large donors makes them a for-profit entity.

Everything we hear that would “fix” the US can be attributed to Citizens United.

Immigration reform? Guess what - industries thrive on the broken system, and they pay to keep it broken.

You want Congress to take back control of who the US goes to war with? Defense contractors are some of the largest donors in the country. War will remain a racket.

Ranked-choice voting and 3rd party redistricting? The US’s two-party system is funded by those large donors and thrives in this system.

You can’t fix this without removing the dark money first.

It is the only thing I care about in a politician at this point. I get that being a single issue voter is dumb, but this is so foundational that once it’s overturned, we can start getting back to the issues at hand.

Damn. My wife and I were just talking about this. My Great grandmother was Canadian and I thought it was too far out for me to consider going for citizenship.

Then tax them more if they try to do any business in California.

Orgys are back on the menu, boys.

Yeah, and we have people that mess with them.

Our ability to self govern is non-existent. We can’t even put shopping carts in the return carousel. We definitely won’t take gun ownership seriously.

He held the Bible upside down once.

While that might be true, it’s also true that the majority of his previous staff at OpenAI are standing up and defending him. That’s saying something.

I am not an IPA fan for the same reasons. The problem are the Brewers thinking they can just add any old hop into the mix and expect it to taste good. Then you have the consumers freaking out over a 120 IBU DIPA even though, on average, the human pallet is unable to taste anything beyond 70 IBU with an average threshold of a out 4 IBU.

Don’t get me wrong, I have had some great IPAs, but the places I’ve enjoyed them were places that knew what they were doing. Barely any bitterness and all the hop flavor and aromas.

I used to work as a brewer where the owner wouldn’t let us make any recipes of our own. All the recipes that he made us use, regardless of the style of beer, had an unforgivable amount of hops to it. The stout? 80 IBU. Fuck you, Dave.

It’s a nice workaround for sure, but the only thing I don’t like is that it auto-updates. If I click on a post and then go back to the list, the post is gone. I wish it only hid the post until I manually refreshed the page.

There’s a river with 2 guys on either side. 1st guy says to the other “How’d you get to the other side of the river?”

The other guy says “You are on the other side of the river.”

Godspeed 🫡

I’m mostly going to miss my local subs. It was nice to stay up to date.

It’s going to be nice to get out of the habit of grabbing my phone randomly. I really hate that I do that.
