That depends on how quickly and safely you want the disassembly to take place.

I just love that it has actual sensors.

Ensign_Crab ,

Why not? He's not a progressive and that's all that matters to Democrats.

Ensign_Crab ,

You seem to have confused “paying people to work for you” with “working.”

Tarantino movies do tend to feature the hard r pretty prominently.

Seriously. filing always feels like a math test with really scary consequences.

[Houston Chronicle] Best Texas City to see October solar eclipse ( archive.ph )

The annular solar eclipse that will travel across the Southwest United States less than a month away, and one of the best places to see it may be at a Home Depot parking lot in New Braunfels, says a new list from Space.com. … The eclipse will hit its maximum at 11:54 a.m. CDT in the San Antonio area, according to NASA.

I’m planning on viewing it from Corpus Christi, but that’s mostly due to it being close enough for a day trip.

Ensign_Crab ,

A new one? From Chrysler?

Ensign_Crab ,

People who support strikebreaking are pretending to care. That’s new.

How right-wing groups are plotting to implement Trump's authoritarianism ( www.motherjones.com )

There is an authoritarian danger that threatens American democracy. It is a separate peril from Donald Trump and his tens of millions of rabid supports. It is the right-wing infrastructure that is publicly plotting to undermine the checks and balances of our constitutional order and concentrate unprecedented power in the...

Ensign_Crab ,

So, what’s Democrats’ plan to stop this?

Ensign_Crab ,

So “maintain course.”

Ensign_Crab ,

Because Black people can enjoy it too.

Child poverty in the United States just more than doubled. You can thank Joe Manchin. ( www.motherjones.com )

The United States’ poverty rate experienced its largest one-year jump on record last year, with the rate among children more than doubling from 2021’s historic low of 5.2 percent to 12.4 percent according to new numbers from the US Census Bureau out today. They’re the latest data to reflect the devastating effects...

Centrist Democrats like him because of shit like this, not in spite of it.

Ensign_Crab ,

Why are you blaming Benedict Arnold? What about all the British?

Ensign_Crab ,

So Benedict Arnold was blameless? Because that’s the logic here.

Ensign_Crab ,

I said centrist Democrats like him and why.

I didn’t say if he was a centrist or a conservative, largely because it’s a distinction without a difference.

Ensign_Crab , (edited )

I mean, the article’s about how Manchin once again voted to fuck over poor people, and his acolytes are yet again like “Don’t blame Manchin for doing what we wanted him to! Blame Republicans!”

He betrayed the poor and his party. He’s right to catch blame for being the deciding vote here. No matter how much his supporters want to draw attention away from how he did what they wanted him to do.

Ensign_Crab , (edited )

You’re overthinking it. Manchin votes with Biden nearly 88% of the time.

You’re ignoring that things usually only come to the floor for a vote when we think we have Manchin on board. This statistic is meaningless and you know it. Stop being dishonest on behalf of the guy who cast the deciding vote to double child poverty for you.

Ensign_Crab ,

Manchin voted to confirm Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. Your guy helped kill Roe v. Wade.

Ensign_Crab ,

10 years and one second from now: Buh whubbut all the republicans?

Ensign_Crab ,

If we didn’t have 50 Republican senators, his one vote would not matter.

But we do. So it does. Manchin was the deciding vote.

As long as Republicans + centrist Democrats > 50, you’ll always have just enough votes to fuck over the poor.

Ensign_Crab ,

Sorry. Your lord and savior.

Ensign_Crab ,

I don’t like Joe Manchin.

You don’t need to defend him, yet you do. Why?

Ensign_Crab ,

He’s measurably better than the best Republican.

That doesn’t mean no one can gripe about him. Or that you have to defend him.

Ensign_Crab ,

I’m not defending him. I’m defending the seat.

From whom? Are they here?

People have these naive ideas that they are going to replace him with a progressive.

We should stop propping him up and expend the resources to elect a better candidate in another state. You know, instead of constantly defending him his seat.

Ensign_Crab ,

I’ve run into the rhetoric or Reddit for years to primary him.

Great. This isn’t reddit. If you want to argue like you’re on nazi digg, you know where to find nazi digg.

and somehow we have a Senator who votes for Democrats/Biden 20% more than any other Republican from that state.

Already covered this meaningless statistic.

Under that context why would you criticize him?

Because he just voted to double child poverty. You may be happy with him for it, but I’m not.

Ensign_Crab ,

Is there someone that could win that seat that would have voted for this bill?

I’ve already addressed this point. Since you want to argue against someone who wants to primary Manchin, find someone who holds that view to argue against.

Don’t keep pretending I hold a view you’ve practiced arguing against just because you don’t know how to counter anything else.

Ensign_Crab ,

Remind me what your point is?

This certainly explains this entire thread. You’ve ignored everything I’ve said and just spammed pro-manchin talking points.

Ensign_Crab ,

Republicans also have convinced a lot of people down there that unions are just trying to steal your money.

Lotta people don’t realize that there’s no silver medal in the race to the bottom. There’s always someone who is more desperate than you to be exploited.

Ensign_Crab ,

That’s all democracy ever is. A check to keep the worst people from being in power.

I think ours might be broken.

Ensign_Crab ,

Clinton earned her loss.

FOX is a news source

They have successfully argued in court that they are not.

Star Trek executive producer wants more Strange New Worlds episodes, and I’m nervous ( screenrant.com )

Strange New Worlds has been my favorite Trek since Next Generation, and if the quality continues, could easily be my favorite Trek ever. But with the e.p. wishing for more episodes per season, there’s a danger of diluting the show by adding weak episodes that would have never made it in a 10 episode season....

Ensign_Crab ,

Honestly, I think there should be some really corny/goofy “what were they thinking” clunker episodes. Not lazy writing that disregards established character traits or contradicts itself or anything, but something they try that doesn’t work, but they tried in earnest and it shows.

Something that reminds you of the participatory nature of suspension of disbelief.

“Good lord, what is happening in there?”

“Aurora Borealis.”

“Aurora Borealis? During this shift, on this stardate, in this part of the quadrant, localized entirely within your holodeck simulation of the NX-01?”

“Yes!”

“May I see it?”

“…Computer, end program.”

Ensign_Crab ,

Wonder how much Southwest will pay to have it killed this time.

Ensign_Crab ,

It’s their stated goal.

Jacob’s Well. Why do headlines do this?

Guadalupe River.

Conservatives love the idea of murderin’ people over stuff.

If my textile mill is such a terrible place to work, why do children keep working there?

Here’s the American Astronomical Society’s list of reputable suppliers for eclipse glasses that meet the ISO safety standards: eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters

There tons of cheap ones on amazon

amazon does not care about counterfeit products, even ones that are dangerous to their customers.

[Texas Tribune] Gunman in 2019 El Paso mass shooting receives 90 life sentences ( www.texastribune.org )

The 24-year-old gunman who killed 23 people and injured 22 others in August 2019 at a Walmart in his attempt “to shoot as many Mexicans as possible” was sentenced in federal court to 90 consecutive life sentences Friday for his hate crimes.

Ensign_Crab ,

Oh good. He was sentenced in federal court. Abbott can’t pardon him to earn points with his racist base.

Ensign_Crab ,

I wonder what new, exciting proxy for “don’t be black” HOA’s will find.

Ensign_Crab ,

Yeah, but it takes you to reddit. Ew.
