The first time I heard about him he was described as something along the lines of “a lib but had a good platform to run on.” And then it was about Oz. But he listened to his supporters and won by sticking to his platform.
Which sucks all the more that he’s made such a turn. There’s no way to really prove it but I am convinced those strokes changed him.
The bridge crossing level and using the crossbow to crucify combine soldiers were about the best parts of the game as I remember it.
Stay federated and up prayed.
27% is the crazy factor and a rather stable data point. Obama-Keyes is an example.
Computer.
But even so, it shouldn’t be costing double at any rate.
I am willing to bet there’s a layer of insurance policy at every stage of production just adding to the costs. Every business has to pay some kind of insurance tithe these days. It’s just standard practice that the costs be passed onto the consumer because anyone who doesn’t is run/bled out of business.
If it is chronic those flowers and cards dry up quick. Also the medical care and attention beyond hucking out pills. Which brings us to panel 2…
They’re converting to natural gas at any rate. The facility just doesn’t have coal to continue running because the plan all along was to shut down and convert. This order to stay open did fuck all except inject delays into bureaucracy.
The power plant had been winding down for years and was scheduled to close by Dec. 31 until the Energy Department ordered that it stay open. Coal piles that once filled acres had dwindled.
Yeah this site doesn’t have the coal to burn and their whole plan was to convert to natural gas. Which wasn’t great, but now they can’t shut down to convert so they can keep producing energy, and they can’t produce energy by staying open to burn coal.
Efektiv polis.
20th century was the century of the moustache.
21st century is the century of the eyebrows.
(And that’s plural, Brezhnev.)
SDS reformed about 20 years ago, so maybe we can do some real Rainbow Coalition again.
Possible good news from a week after the article:
Calibrate clockwise or counter-clockwise?
I wouldn’t use the word ‘delusion’ then. Delusions are predicated on defying incontrovertible proof of falsehood.
They are a defense mechanism. The desire to be deluded is a fear response. Knowing you’re dealing with fear is one thing, but I think this has to be treated more like addiction intervention than some kind of puppet mastery.
Right, and this is Lemmy. I am not sure this is exactly the facebook browsing demographic.
people who have a vision, even if delusional, for a better America.
Knowing the perspective of american liberals is perfectly fine and normal, but that’s not a call to cater to delusion. Delusional visions are not helping.
Probably in this context: the ruling class.
The lack of class awareness here in the comic being why the use of cultural hegemony is lost.
There are multiple victims of war pictured here and the comic doesn’t seem to notice or care why that is. It celebrates it even, as empathy, which is such a crushing example of how warped perspectives can become.
Well, no it won’t change the true believers minds outright. That is true. But I do know the biggest divisions we’ve seen in public with the GOP has been over the epstein files.
Anecdotally it’s the only topic the chuds I know don’t want to discuss, be aware of, or have to do the work to justify.
So if anything it thins their ranks a bit, which is absolutely a worthwhile end. No other wedge issue has been as effective.
It’s the only thing that actually threatens his base of support.
Epstein files is the only thing that shuts the chuds up. They’re cheering about Venezuela and getting off to ICE murders. But they, for whatever reason, only draw the line at pedophilic elitism.
They’re scooping up all the data for AI. They rebranded Office to just being AI.
A portio of that area I know is full of retirees who relocated to escape the woke coasts. (Speaking anecdotally of extended family that relocated to that zone for a community of old conservatives.) So I wonder if retirees are counted.
The area in Arizona thats a little lighter may also be a shade of that too. Snowbirds might be skewing it with people who just plain don’t commute.
