Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Ebalosus
Also much of the great plains is deeply red and the local officials would resist it, also to justify it you would need people to love into those areas but that’s the opposite of what actually happens, people leave the great plains they don’t move there,

Oceanic life of all kinds has been taking up residence around the turbine base, both on the shaft itself and the surrounding riprap.

Considering that Malaysia also has rich coral reefs, we can take a lesson from Virginia’s reef turbines. Well done!

“We should just let the south/red states secede!”.

Yeah, get rid of all those LGBTQ+ people and POC who happen to live in those states. Fuck ’em, right?

They can yap about the backlog at Cali ports being due to a labor shortage all they want, but their law that pretty much bans trucks older than 2011 (including the transfer trucks at ports) and the 9th Circuit Court ruling Cali’s AB 5 law can apply to truckers (which works against owner operators) doesn’t help.

And also the socialists in Texas…

That’s actually a very good idea, and even though I’m somewhat critical of wind power at the moment, I’d be fine with something like that.

Yeah, we already litigated on Twitter what an epic fuckfest that or a civil war would be.

@Ebalosus
One big union would be too unwieldy, different industries and sectors require their own unique union for their own respective problems
I do agree with connecting workers with one another and uniting them but this is putting the cart before the horse
You actually need to show workers why unions are necessary and good first through their successes before going straight into “one big union”
Besides we have trade union congresses and they work relatively fine

A pastor in Alabama was released from jail after only serving 1/3rd his sentence. Serving 5 years of a 15 stint. He was released for “good behavior” and because of “extreme mental stress” caused by being a 61 year old diabetic.

Now, I bet you’re wondering his crime yea? Assault? Larceny?

It was raping a 9 year old girl on her father’s grave, and sexually assaulting several other young women.

Good behavior, mental stress, and released in 5 years. For raping someone on their father’s grave.

What if the remaining parts of the USA create programs that try to help people living in the seceded states relocate, both physically and financially?

@MethidMan
Kind of pointless, the states very specifically do not have the right to leave the union, if they try it again then we need to take off the kid gloves and make it very clear that wanting to be evil is not a justifiable reason to ignore the law,

China seems to be flexing hard right now:

Shouldn’t this shit result in UN sanctions or are the “Big Five” exempt from this?

@CaptainXtra
Is that a missile or nuke of some kind?

@Wiimeiser
A hypersonic missile tested back in August. They managed to make it circle the globe before it touched down two dozen miles away from its target.

You’ve lost the right to say you “don’t live in fear” with the virus if you’re the same kind of person that carries a gun into Walmart because you saw a black person in there once.

Fear is clearly your default emotion.

So apparently “speed running” is considered far-left.

I think Conrad is a Poe. I’ve seen something from him before, and he strikes me as someone who makes silly right-wing talking points to take the piss out of them.

Could be wrong though.

@NitroFury
This goes beyond the usual anti-SJW spiel.

This is… advanced stupidity.

@Zincy
going by his profile and his retweets/past posts, i don’t think this is a satire account, dude seems to be 100% serious.

@NitroFury
The man calls Elon Musk a sexual icon. This can’t… no part of this can be real.

Can it?

Jokes gonna be on him when the F-35 finally starts working a decade and trillion $ late!

This guy would fit right in the gamergate thread.

I’ve dabbled in VG speedrunning. It requires an almost intuitive knowledge of even the most obscure mechanics to create the most hyper-efficient run absolutely devoid of any extraneous fluff or unnecesary movements.

If “efficiency” and “expertise” is a “Far-Left” concept, then let’s go M8.

this country is bipolar

This bill passed by California Governer Gavin Newsom is in direct violation of freedom of expression, which is explicitly protected under the First Amendment. Neither any local, state, nor the federal government have any right or business in dictating what anyone, let alone private companies and entrepenures, can do with their freedom of expression, legislation-wise.

I’ve always known that California has recently always gone over the line in terms of what is necessary and unnecessary, regarding its regulatory stance on a number of things, but now, there is absolutely no way in hell that anyone can deny it has violated the constitution in doing so in this case, and you don’t have to be a Republican or conservative to recognize that this is an indisputable breach of one of the amendments by a state government.

Private corporations, institutions and organizations are not required by law to receive orders by the federal government or any state or local government regarding their rights to freedom of expression, and this act by Governor Newsom needs to be reviewed and struck down by the Supreme Court, immediately.

If a company wants to create an entirely gender neutral section within their own places of business, then that is entirely within the right to do so, however unnecessary it may be. It absolutely becomes a problem, however, when the government forces them to do it.

And if anyone is unable to see the problem with this, it’s the fact that the ACTUAL STATE GOVERNMENT OF CALIFORNIA, A STATE OF AN ACTUAL COUNTRY, THE UNITED STATES, WHERE IT IS A BREACH OF LAW FOR ANY OF ITS GOVERNMENTS TO ENACT ANY LEGISLATION THAT VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION, is forcing a private entity to sell a non-essential item based solely on what really is a form of (technically) artistic expression within its own state, which is something that the government, by law, does not and should not have any control over.

It’s like a state or local government dictating that a private company or individual entrepreneur are required to sell items that contain x imagery or x human characteristics are allowed to sell items that contain expressions of immutable human characteristics, like gender.

Only the company or the entrepreneur should have the final say in decision on what they can, will, and should sell to the public—either of their own desire, or via non-governmental public pressure.

California has a myriad of actual problems all on its own that it needs to deal with as soon as possible, and shit like this is the very last thing that the government of that state or Mr. Newsom should ever be fretting over that needs to be addressed, legistlation-wise.
