my family member in his early 60s was the FIRST to comment on how fucking old they both are tonight. same guy who thinks 35 is too young for office.

i think middle aged people prefer middle aged people, young-old people prefer young-old people, but not many people root for more whole ass 80 year olds

how old does this person think 50 is? you get your first grey hair and root for primordial beings as your overlords?

i mean, it’s not that hard to believe he lost largely because most USians are propagandized zionists (especially older people, who vote by far the most in local elections). advertising money doesn’t guarantee anything unless you have something definingly different from your opponent (or no one knows them), and the election was very publicized in being seen as for or against israel. wrote this in another comment:

bowman already had a huge incumbent advantage and way more name recognition than most reps, so there’s no reason to believe people seeing the other guy’s ads more is the reason he lost (even if it certainly didnt help). if it were that easy, mike bloomberg would be president and all the other cases where interest groups spent ungodly amounts to unseat a progressive would’ve generally worked

my mom’s friend was coping pretty hard

her husband was going “poor joe, he means well but he’s gotten so old, he was so much better at the state of the union :(” and she starts raising her voice at him, “his voice is just coarse and he has a stutter! he’s not perfect but everything he’s saying is the TRUTH, you just aren’t LISTENING to him!!”

with how publicized this primary was in terms of israel i think zionism was the losing factor here. the majority of americans (especially older ones who vote more) are indoctrinated zionists.

in elections between nobodies then yeah, a lot of people literally just vote for whoever’s name they hear more

yup, went to r/borderporn (not a redditor just remember that one!) and searched “bridge”, found tons of examples, especially in the schengen zone

“El puente de El Marco” bridge connecting Spain and Portugal:

comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views … any super low-hanging fruit doesn’t belong on this site, period

isn’t this like 50% of the site taglines?

i mean i get banning unoriginal stupid shit or reddit argument chains. but a ton of comments from nobodies are genuinely very funny and start a lot of memes, so this doesn’t really make sense.

yeah /fashion/ apparently

akshually sweetey, they get a choice between military service and forced, unpaid labor

(i am not joking)

most british oldheads support it, but young people are understandably pretty pissed, seeing it’s unpaid labor that takes time and energy from work/school they need to survive in a failing economy. (community service will require one weekend per month for a full year)

Labour figures also privately accused the Tories of making 18-year-olds fix the problems the government had created, by boosting numbers in the military, helping the NHS and repairing infrastructure.

for anyone missing context: the UK had a “national service” program in the early 60’s, where all 18 year olds had to choose between military service and local community service (with most choosing the latter)

the conservative party’s plan is to bring this program back for all genders, and this is how they’re considering enforcing it

conservative party never gave a second fuck about that lmao they get like 95% of their votes from 35+

from this poll the public actually seem surprisingly anti-israel

i remember watching American Dad a couple years ago, and there was this was this episode about how francine’s adoptive parents were Chinese. and one of the running jokes of the episode was the mom going around telling everyone to take their shoes off indoors? and this was supposed to be seen as weird?

in what way? full scale is over 400 years, 1619 to 1865 is almost 250 of that, 1865 to 1964 is 99 of that, and 1964 to 2024 is 60 of that

warn them. before taking your first pill, fly to russia and post a manifesto somewhere, saying you will shut down x major server at x time on x day, and then another server, and then another, until AWS continually as your ultimate goal. when all your threats come true, industries will take you seriously and be mostly prepared. you’ll be like communist light yagami

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s… manservant, nor his maidservant

this was originally referring to slaves wasn’t it

edit: *is referring to slaves

better yet, take one pill every few minutes or so you fuck them over on and off for much longer. a 15 second outage probably takes a lot of systems serious recovery time and causes data loss

better yet cut each pill into 7 or 8 pieces so you have 750 pills that shut it down for 2 seconds. take one every few minutes a couple dozen times a day for the next month until amazon goes bankrupt and many lines go down
