What a dirtbag.

Ah.

you’re on the internet too much

Oh, when was that, when two people were honestly debating their views and policies? Was it Nixon? Reagan? Bush? other Bush? Which Republican was it?

what bullshit

You can be critical of a politician and still support that politician. Why that’s suddenly a super difficult thing to understand is beyond me.

…so then you totally did understand, you just wanted someone to waste their time explaining it so you could immediately come back with jill stein nonsense. that was a dick thing to do.

Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know it existed.

It wasn’t for you. Your posts are banal and amateurish. It was for other people.

Back in the before times, bills would come to a vote and bills that had virtually total support would go thru with unanimous consent. Now, bills are blocked from being voted on so that Senators aren’t on the record being shitbags. As you quoted Vance saying, ““it’s idiotic for us to take the bait” in regards to Democrats using the bill to force Republicans to publicly declare whether or not they support IVF.”

Think about that statement from a Senator, then marvel at how fundamentally different he sees the job of a Senator from say, you or me or regular humans.

Duckworth is putting a face to whoever opposes a wildly popular issue, IVF treatment. It causes people to think about the issue, because legislators are in fact advocators (you know, in complete contrast to Vance trying to hide what he advocates for). There’s nothing performative about it.

in my opinion, it is the standard democrat cynicism. it is simply something that in the future can be used as a bullet point for her future candidacy. without context, one could write ‘honestly’ she “fought” for IVF.

For Duckworth and for many people, IVF is a opportunity that is basically magic. It changes their lives and it gives them the opportunity to have children. There are few things more powerful than that, and it’s tone deaf to an extreme degree to think that something is performative just because it isn’t targeted at you.

I mean, usually I’d say you’re being a petulant childish asshole, but I’m trying to be better too.

It’s ok if everything isn’t important to you, champ. It can be important to others and we can support that. There will be Republican supporters of IVF that wanna know too.

which kinda sucks, honestly. it’s not like these kids seem to have really had a great chance before, then she runs for congress.

Engineering is the usual path into SCADA, but most firms require specialists and networking is certainly a needed specialty.

If we’re casting around looking for good advice from relevant people, James Carville would be way down that list.

They will be cut up and all over socials the next morning. Nobody hit like Jon in the Daily Show format.

I screencapped this because I can’t trust the internet to have it when I want to come back and laugh at it again.

Can’t help but feel like this is the market that exists for anything Pokémon adjacent because Pokémon has sucked ass for like a decade.

Who is attacking Haley? Can see a case for everyone.

I know enough to be dangerous. I know enough to follow faqs but dumb enough to not backup like I should.

So I’d be running my server on bare metal and have a couple services going and sooner or later, shit would get borked. Shit that was miles past my competence to fix. Sometimes I’d set up a DB wrong, or break it, or an update would screw it up, and then it would all fall apart and I’m there cursing and wiping and starting all over.

Docker fixes that completely. It’s not perfect, but it has drastically lowered my time working on my server.

My server used to be a hobby that I loved dumping hours into. Now, I just want shit to work.

I know this story has been written a thousand times now so people are looking for a new spin, but this isn’t it. Politicians being immune to donor demands is, objectively, a good thing.

I mean don’t get me wrong Biden is wrong on the whole fuckin thing, but the framing here isn’t great.

Absolutely.

I’m not trying to convince. I’m trying to say use less words.
