The oil refineries we have in the US attention equipped to handle the type of oil we can actually produce here. We export just about all of our oil, and just about all of our oil product are refined from foreign oil.

If we didn’t export US oil, we wouldn’t be able to do much with it.

Two outlooks, neither work?

Glad everything is normal aboard Orion!

2/3 majority in both chambers of congress, plus ratification by 75% of states.

There is not a single issue that will unify the country to that degree right now.

Mint is a good choice for your first linux.

Yeah whining about the exact words she used while ignoring the substance of the memo is exactly the useless purity test that fucks up any attempt at getting real left politics in government.

Not worth it.

It’s almost the absolute worst of humanity made anonymous and public. “Almost” is only there because they will delete blatantly illegal content like cp, but anything else goes. Overt racism becomes normalized because people engage with it so it keeps getting bumped to the top. Some legitimately mean it, some are just trolling for the lolz, but either way it desensitizes people and normalizes the view.

Repeat for any other kind of bigotry or harmful view you can imagine.

In terms of real people behind the accounts

One of the defining features of 4chan is the lack of accounts. Most posts are anonymous. Even harder to tell if someone is human or bot when you can instantly just roll a new anon ID.

Kansas is fucking weird because they do shit like this but also voted to make abortion a constitutional right in the state.

There’s a big difference between a $100 sound system and a $1000 sound system. I’ve gotten the “audiophiles are dumb” lecture for suggesting someone upgrade from 2x4" computer speakers to actual studio monitors for working on their music. But their speakers literally could not reproduce some of the frequencies thru were trying to make, so they mixed the bass WAY the fuck too loud.

But yeah, diminishing returns start to kick in around that point. Quickly becomes the eternal story of a Fool and His Money.

God fucking damn it, you’re telling me he’s getting cryogenically process and is coming back in 900 years to terrorize my Great^30 Grandchildren?

At this point, who are we trying to convince? Nobody who’s still defending the guy is going to change their mind no matter the logic you use towards them.

I’m fully in support of “throw wrenches in their attempts to do things” instead.

There is something to be said for the friction in bringing someone new into the role. Nobody is ever as effective in their first few weeks as they are a year into the job.

There’s no way her replacement would be good, but a revolving door makes things more difficult for him.

This is something I have only ever heard white people argue for.

-Married into a Latino family

Don’t kid yourself. Anti-porn lawmakers know that there are like 4 big porn sites and if you can shut down access to those ones, it is a huge step towards their goals.

Remember that time when the Trump campaign accounted for like 5% of ALL credit card fraud claims in the USA, for charging his supporters a monthly campaign donation when they thought they were doing a one-time donation?

Robotaxis exist and have a market. Tesla just isn’t the one doing it.

Waymo taxis are pretty common around me.

Biden did not pardon himself.

The knives are to stab each other the instant he dies, a la Stalin.

The problem is, it’s likely enriching different conservative cunts, who have more power and influence to begin with.

There is no changing the minds of their base, what matters is getting uninterested voters to realize they need to actually participate in democracy while we still have it.
