Agreed. Tim Walz was a surprising VP pick that made me trust Kamala Harris' judgment far more. They're not perfect, but they're damn fine from what I can tell. When you're having a shitty semester in a tough class, you don't turn down an A- grade.

Oh, I thought there was some new story. Yeah, I was aware of that 8 years ago. And the "Hillary's emails" "scandal". And the trump "grab them by the pussy" tape. It's all so cyclical. Nothing surprises me anymore. There will be firehosing to distract from trump's actual existential disqualifications. He's an easily manipulated, lying, stupid asshole. Meanwhile Harris is compassionate and educated, and has been duly elected to all three branches of government. She and Walz aren't perfect, but it's laughable to suggest that the alternative in this election is even worth considering. Anybody who believes something in the realm of pizzagate in this election cycle is feverishly searching for an excuse to vote for trump without being honest about their hated for women, minorities, and/or anybody left of the extreme right.
No? What happened now?
The real crazy part is that it'd be perfectly legal for Joe Biden to issue the same offer, so long as it's through professional channels as an official act. The SCOTUS said so. Hell, to make it crystal clear, just order it through the military and then watch from the situation room. He could take out a few SCOTUS justices at the same time. And then unilaterally dictate that that sort of shit is not legal going forward. Best October surprise ever.
It's absolutely nuts to a lot of insiders here too. I can't imagine a worse candidate, yet about 1/3 of the country seems to think that the choice in this election is a no-brainer, but in the exact opposite way that you would expect. The war on education led us here.
Maybe the most egregious example of this was something I saw yesterday, which was somebody saying "Tim Walz needs to go vegan". When pressed about why him and not, say, Donald Trump, they said that people on the left and center were more likely to actually be swayed. It wasn't worth engaging any further, but I thought it was pretty hilarious that they bothered to try to push the 60-year-old VP candidate to go vegan, but not the 40-year-old VP candidate. Like, you know that you're not pushing the needle for anybody with that post, right?
It's about as useless as making a post saying that JD Vance should hang dry his clothes instead of wasting energy running a clothes dryer.
My friends and I like to play Rocket League while chatting. It's free to play now. We were absolutely terrible when we first tried it but we've gotten pretty good over the years. We like doing a Spotify jam and trading off album picks too.
Some of my other friends will do Borderlands while talking, but I think that's a little too much going on, plus I'm not that into shooters. But maybe that's appealing to you guys.
We're probably gonna get Space Marine II soon for this as well. Seems like Gears of War for the modern era.
Streets of Rage 4 is also a fucking good time. Excellent music too.
Really grasping for reasons to not like him, huh? I wonder why you aren't broadcasting that Donald Trump needs to go vegan 🤔
Unfortunately, about half of Congress politicizes objective science and spreads obvious lies about science things because their donors pay them to. And about 1/3 of the people just believe whatever they say.
My wife and I visited last summer! It was an absolutely delightful city. The whole time we were there, I was thinking about how much I'd love to live in a place like that. It was so cool to pop down from the hotel, walk to a nearby cafe for coffee and a light breakfast, and then figure out what we wanted to walk to next. People would buy a bag or two of groceries (including freshly baked bread) and walk home with it. That place was like a goddamn fairy tale lol.
Thanks, much appreciated! I just hope that some of what I say gets through to at least one person and teaches them something or helps them in some way. It's all for nothing if I'm just telling people who already know all of this.
It's tough to hold onto hope regarding these things, but it's worth it.
