And he died, having accomplished very little, because he believed that victory comes from purity of purpose, rather than from working together against the enemy of all.

I first encountered the song while watching a world history documentary.

I’m from the late 1900’s.

That might work for people with no families. There was a time in my life where I’d have cheerfully defected in exchange for citizenship and protection.

Today, I’d need that for myself and a few others.

I’m not sure I’d call that “unfortunate.” I’ve said for ages that if we can just get more people to vote, it will be good for the democrats. Work the rise of MAGA, I’ve included that if we can get them to think before they vote, that will be even better.

I’m perfectly happy to ignore everything between Enterprise and SNW, except for Lower Decks. (Is there an official TLA for that?)

Good riddance.

Where do I sign?

Actually, no. I forgot that my pay is two weeks at a time, so call it 60 hours.

I’ve occasionally considered purchases add a function of the number of hours worked to earn that money. My fast food costs an hour of work. My nifty you costs two or three hours. Rent costs 30 hours, more or less.

Sometimes it’s helpful, mostly depressing.

There may be something to that. A poorly deigned mask might allow co 2 buildup. If I was going to do it, I’d have repurposed one of the old gas chambers.

And yes, I can’t imagine the mental state makes things any better.

No-one is every gonna call it anything but the Epstein ballroom.

Execution by nitrogen should be fine. People who survive evidential exposure report having no sensation of choking, just sudden loss of consciousness. Our bodies do not react to low oxygen levels, they react to high carbon dioxide levels.

You would not “struggle to breath” nitrogen. You would just breathe it, then fall out.

Isn’t the after sex cigarette kind of a trope?

They are helping, yes, but windows 11 is a driving force like I’ve never seen.

I don’t want purity tests because we, on the left, are incapable of reaching a consensus on much of anything. If we can’t agree to tolerate a limited amount of disagreement with each other, we can’t work together on the things we do agree on, and those things tend to be kind of important.

Possible. I’d hardly call that role playing, but I could see it.

OP should take the chance to clear that up for us.

If you’re not talking about furries, then you’re gonna need to use more words to ask your question. Who is role playing animals, under what circumstances. Are you talking about a game? Are you making political commentary? Street Theater? Help us help you.

Which he will ignore as soon as he finds it inconvenient.

Why do people continue to think you can make a deal with someone who never upholds their end of a deal?

I’m tired of pretending their opinion matters.

Are you aware that their vote counts as much as yours? And many of them are in Congress, so their vote counts for a lot more than yours?

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to simply excise people without basic empathy from any role of leadership or influence. But until we do that, we have to deal with them.
