He knows exactly what he’s doing and precisely who he’s courting.

The world would be a better place if he’d get one of his own brain chips installed.

I think we have a slight difference in terms: Biden is not and will never be a leftist. Same with the majority of the Democratic party.

Sure, he’s a liberal but liberalism is not a leftist ideology— it’s the scaffolding for capitalism.

This is not to say that there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans (there is a huge difference), but Maher punches left with the same enthusiasm with which he punches right.

He’s not on the same level as someone like Hannity or Carlson, but he’s always arguing to sell out vulnerable groups— something that the Democrats do constantly without electoral gains to show for it.

I know OP used the word liberal, but I disagree with that characterization: he is a liberal, a “small c” conservative. I was going for brevity, but maybe I should have clarified there.

Exactly this.

He’s a transphobic misogynist who only tolerates people under 30 because he wants to fuck them.

He’s a hateful, bitter man who thinks he’s a free-speech-warrior because he gives fascist freaks like Milo Yiannopoulos and Roger Stone a megaphone from which to spout their reactionary garbage with minimal pushback.

And he doesn’t see anything wrong with the genocide in Palestine; in fact, he seems to be a big fan.

Maybe it’s aspirational.

Genau wie das Mutterland es früher gemacht hat.

I’m not sure an honorific medal confers much prestige when you share it with the likes of a billionaire dragon like George Soros and a reactionary polemicist like Rush Limbaugh.

And giving it to Hillary Clinton makes it look like a DNC consolation prize.

I would have if I expected it to be delivered. It wasn’t supposed to be there for another week, hence my surprise.

We have a parcel room.

They don’t use it half the time.

Same thing happened to me.

I ordered an expensive instrument, and they said it’d be delivered the week after Thanksgiving.

Got an email that it was delivered to my porch the day after Thanksgiving, when I was all the way across town.

I didn’t want to leave a $1,300 lute on my doorstep for anyone to snatch, so I drove the hour home to secure it. It wasn’t there after all, so I installed their stupid app and it told me it would be delivered next week.

One of the worst buying experiences I’ve ever had. 1/10, would not recommend.

Thanks, I could kind of tell CO by comparing to those around it, but that’s not an option the way DC is presented.

The green is almost exactly the same in value as the red or orange, whatever that color is.

Coding data in color is a pet-peeve of mine. As a colorblind person, maps like this are nearly useless to me.

The Steam controller is amazing for Elden Ring and similar games. It makes the camera so much easier to deal with.

I’m currently using a trick on my Windows 11 work machine to get the old UI for file explorer by going through the control panel and going up a directory.

I’ll be so pissed the day they strip it out, because their new design language is ridiculously slow and terrible for the sake of “cleanliness.”

I have nothing more to say to you.

Rant at someone else.

Who said anything about giving people free money so that they can sit home and play video games all day?

Why are you acting like that’s in any way comparable to sheltering unhoused people?

Let’s focus on one thing at a time; I’m not going to chase down every irrelevant diversion you throw out.

No, they’re saying that we should, as the wealthiest society in history, look out for desperate people.

Does WIC mean people don’t have personal responsibility? Does Medicaid? Does any other social program we’ve implemented?

Raising the floor means the society is healthier for everyone.

I’ve been told there are mods for everything.

“Good people of the jury, my client is guilty of nothing more than merely forgetting to append ‘in Minecraft,’ to his statement.”

I will be open to the considered views of my colleagues on the bench, and I will decide every case based on the record, according to the rule of law, without fear or favor, to the best of my ability, and I will remember that it’s my job to call balls and strikes, and not to pitch or bat.
