Most importantly it will be a joke that attempts to deliver itself in a responsible way so that minimizes the chance of people who don't understand the joke, will inflict great harm on people.

Further have to say in fairness to the average american (which... apparently the average american voted for trump).

It's not just the price of eggs... it's basically everything... simply in anecdotal evidence, in the last few years, the price of all living essentials went up. Most people are experiencing their average grocery trip going up 50% or more... Rents skyrocketing etc...

and the democrats were bad at messaging. When things are hard, people blame the leaders, and Biden does get a lot of credit for, minimizing the damages covid did to our prices etc... Unfortunately the average american heard his response to it as "I did great, everything is good now". Which didn't work, because while things may be as good as they could be with the cards that fell... they are very far from good.

So yes, it's lack of knowledge. Certainly the biggest point to be made is, trumps tariff plan is massively going to raise the price on everything, economist after economist has pointed out it will raise the price. But honestly I didn't see much of attacking those plans in harris's attack ads.

wow, yeah thanks for the repost of it then, and yeah seems even further to go in there, when conservatives comb for examples of the terrible things they are fighting... and it seems like over and over again, even their cherry picked examples seem to fail

Did Neil Patrick Harris have rape accusations I'm unaware of? Not finding anything searching for it.

To be fair... IMO I think that idea is mislabeled and misunderstood.

Now the idea of opposing porn is just plain stupid. I'd expect any teenager to get their hands on porn and going against that is nonsense. But I'd say the labeling saying that it's watching porn with your son, is very misleading.

The point of it is, it's just a porn blocker with a detection switch, it's not so you and your son can brag to each-other over what porn you are into. It's made basically a switch to rat you out if you tried to bypass it.

IE that would be like if an alcoholic had a device that sends his wife an alert any time he tries to get an alcoholic drink. It's made to discourage you from trying because you'd be caught.

Again I fully disagree with that software because, I don't see porn itself as inherently harmful, but if you accept the idea that porn is harmful, I see it as a reasonable method to try and discourage yourself from accessing it.

No see... he was a public representative, which means he's only accountable to the house ethics pannel and not local law enforcement.

It feels like watching those old Bonnie and Clyde and other famous historical criminals in the US that would say rob a bank, cops would be chasing them... and Oops they crossed state lines, I guess they get away this time.

Sunfish I can't find the actual study, it appears it was done in 1975, and was a big thing that congress at the time used as the examples of wasteful spending.

First 2 I can't really say the value or lack of value of. I mean they were studies on effects of dangerous substances on behavior. and yes of course like all studies you pick animals that you might be able to get the effects of. Obviously a lot of science is just randomly probing around looking for oddities that give you a hypothesis to try and refine later into something useful. Obviously addictive substances is an important topic to understand, and poking around randomly might actually give solutions that could be discovered IMO.

Now the last one is the only one I'd agree, isn't exactly super useful.

was done in 2016.

All that being said... lets also take a serious statement on cost here... a million dollars in 2016. That's like, 15 minutes of iraq war money.

Too bad HOAs are far more concerned with making sure everything looks plain and perfect to the 70 year old humans walking on the street rather than giving any craps about wildlife.

honestly my vote doesn't matter anyway. Claudia De La Cruz got .1% of my states vote.. It was already known before it started that trump was going to win by a double digit percentage.

I mean, it's just like e-mail addresses, I really don't understand the difficulty. Yes technically if I want to e-mail joe smith, I need to know his address, including what mail provider he uses. Which is why when I ask for his e-mail address he tells me "Joesmith@gmail.com". and not just joesmith.

I mean yes that's true... but we already know the pattern, Trump is going to quintuple the pace and extremeness of it. The next democrat to win (if one ever does again), will continue the status quo set by the previous republican, possibly slightly reduce the acceleration of it (while still allowing it to accelerate).

In general agreed, but also depends on what the reason you gave on if you are a hypocrite.

IE if you said "I'm not opening this up to Chinese millitary use because I don't want anyone to be killed using the tool I've made".

on the other hand if your reason given was

"I am not opening this up to chinese millitary because I would fear they might use this against the US millitary". then you at least aren't bullshitting anyone.
