Personally I am for staying on Daylight savings time permanently, rather than getting rid of it. But getting permanently off of it is preferably to the back and forth every year.

This. Along the same lines, I have to make myself little notes, using real stickies, computer stickies, and phone reminders I or will almost always forget to do or go to whatever it is I am trying not to forget.

United States

Land of the free, home of the brave - UNTRUE

Separation of church and state - UNTRUE

With a little hard work and determination anyone can achieve their (American) dream - LAUGHABLY UNTRUE

Ridiculous amounts of wealth very unevenly distributed - TRUE

He is like a spoiled child, just like his shitstain cabinet. I wish there were some way we could identify those who voted for him in 2016, 2020, or 2024 and tattoo an orange T on their foreheads so they could never go anywhere again without ridicule and harassment.

So, of the (apparently) 7.4% who do want unification (either right away or after waiting some unspecified period), what percentage of that 7.4% mean unification under PRC and how many unification under ROC rule?

The graph also shows that (since 1994) those two groups that want unification (whether now or later) have fallen from 20% to the current 7.4%.

The number who want independence at some later date has almost tripled since 1994 (8.0% ti 21.9%), whereas the number who want independence immediately or a.s.a.p. is very small and has barely changed (3.1% to 4.4%).

It suggests to me that whatever else most Taiwanese want they do not want conflict or violence with mainland China.

It certainly doesn’t suggest that any significant percentage of Taiwanese want reunification with the PRC today. Anybody have any insights into the nitty gritty details of the 30 years of polling or whether or not we should be suspicious of the Election Study Center at NCCU?

Beyond Good & Evil 2?

She knows exactly what she is doing. She probably wouldn’t even get into any trouble if she had let the guy go on for a bit since it is just a random, live interview. Doesn’t matter, though, as boot-fellating, spittle-licking toadies will instantly and hungrily provide cover for the owner class. There will always be a critical mass of just about every demographic (even those you would not expect it from) who will be willing to sell out for that payday. If she doesn’t try to silence or steamroll any even remotely anti-greed rhetoric she might be passed over for that next promotion.

Shout out to Washington Heights. I used to live at Fort Washington and 181st. I miss it.

I do at least one 30-day juice fast and one 10-day water fast each year. As well as 3-5 day fasts every month I am not doing those. I think I may have gone a day or two without water before, but I don’t recall ever doing it intentionally.

Feminists of the 70s did not give two fucks about intersectionality or helping the oppressed…they only cared about white women getting the same slice of the pie as white men.

Do third party voters come in between those two options or after “didn’t vote”?

Seriously, it’s all true. It is the fault of Trump Voters, the DNC, 3rd party voters, and non-voters.

Hell, I’ll go one further and say those who do nothing but vote for the most progressive Dem in the primary and then vote for the Dem no matter who it is AND that is all they have ever done to address how terrible the Dem party is, also share in the blame.

I miss slashdot. My opinion is that if somebody was banned because of vote related chicanery, then their votes should disappear with them. If it didn’t have anything to do with votes, the votes should stay. Not sure if that’s feasible.

I guess she is a youtuber or tiktoker or whatever who makes short videos about hetero relationship issues that (as far as I have ever seen) always blame the woman for why things have gone wrong with their dating attempts or existing relationships, etc. It’s never the man’s fault.

Yep, that’s why I ride this around:

I was going to respond at least somewhat affirming what you said and then I saw who you linked. Gross. Can’t stand BilleRaeBrandt. Nothing but an apologist for misogyny.

I always thought “jury-rig” was a nautical term that fell out of use centuries ago and has only reappeared because some people who heard the phrase “jerry-rigged” and were not familiar with the word “jerry” thought they must have said “jury”. Meh, wouldn’t be the first time I didn’t know what I was talking about.

Hogs believe they will be one of 5 richest people in the world one day.
