A lot of people seem disappointed that Rose is a privileged untalented asshole now.

If it’s any consolation, he’s always been that way. Here’s episode 1 of his first show “The Broken”, where his genius hack is to steal someone’s pickup order from a restaurant: https://youtu.be/tNjoo9TuCHY

I don’t see where this is being paid for with tax dollars. It looks like it’s all privately funded to me.

10 percent of registered voters still report “undecided” in polls, and more than half of them won’t actually vote in November.

What’s the point in pretending that these people don’t exist?

Okay. Defend it.

Look, every city has a Skid Row, and L.A.'s is the largest, but Seattle actually owns that term because they were a logging town, and pioneer square was where loggers used skids to pull cut logs from the bay (“skid road”).

Rocket launches aren’t a significant part of humanity’s carbon footprint, and there’s not much risk of that changing even with a growing space industry.

Electricity generation and transportation, including aviation and shipping, represents 50% of global human emissions. Spaceflight is less than 0.5%.

Let’s pick our battles. We can build rockets and reduce our carbon footprint at the same time. More importantly, if we’re going to point fingers at carbon emitters, let’s actually focus on the industries actually doing significant harm.

Fun fact: When Harris and Sanders were both Senators, she voted closer to him than any other senator. That includes support for universal healthcare and climate action (and pretty much everything else the Greens claim to stand for).

I am a simple man. I see UniversalMonk posting propaganda, and I downvote. I don’t seem to be alone in this effort.

The outrage is directed at the perpetrator’s identity, not their actions. No sympathy for the perp, but racism is never excusable.

You could have been the one doing a favor, instead you were a scold.

In the ashes of what? The victims of fascism?

I’m pretty sure that when you find a 100 year old foot on a mountain, and you’re a national geographic documentarian, you probably have to investigate it.

Generating planet-harming e-waste out of brand new phones to spite thieves who are largely motivated by economic desperation…

What an American idea.

Edit: Your downvotes have changed my mind. Now I love corpo killswitches on all of the devices I own. /s

Sounds like you understand that one side is worse than the other. Now act like it.

If Trump wins, it might not literally be your fault, but we’ll remember that you were okay taking the risk of another Trump term just to cast a protest vote. We’ll remember you aren’t an ally to anti-fascism.

You have the right to vote however you want to, but when you tell us that you plan to try to throw the election in Trump’s favor, we’ll be listening and we’ll believe you. And if you get what you want, we won’t forgive you.

It’s not about Harris losing, it’s about Trump winning. You’re either pragmatic and know that Harris is the only chance we have to prevent that, or you’re privileged as shit and know that you’ll survive the rise of Fascism if he wins. You definitely know you won’t be one of the millions of people he oppresses if your priority is anything but keeping Trump out of the White House.

Are we really comparing Mark Cuban to Hitler? C’mon now…

The same counterarguments work.

“When did you choose not to be a pedophile?”

Okay, this is fair. I consider myself a progressive too, and I said that in jest. I do stand with progressives. “accelerationist” is way more accurate, and I absolutely despise people who think that letting the system collapse and crush all the people at the bottom is somehow going to start a revolution. You have to be very privileged and certain that you won’t be at the bottom getting crushed.

No, I remember. It’s roach stomping season.
