  • And once again yall fail.

    Ultimately, I don’t really care if you agree with my reasoning. I want you to point out what the best option in November is. Because it sure as shit isn’t trump.

    And not surprisingly, all you seem chariot activists who only just now started giving a shit about the Palestinian suffering after ignoring it for the last 70 years, have no viable solution. Because you haven’t done shit in the last 70 years to elect a congress (the same congress who ratified the treaty with Isreal hampering the “near unlimited powers of state the president has” the same congress who keeps sending money to Isreal that the president can’t just not send, unless you need Biden to be impeached, like trump did when he denied congressional funding to Ukraine, further hampering that do called near unlimited power) or the white house, to effectively change our foreign policy in the middle east. Hell you haven’t done shit even since Netanyahu showed his true fascist colors.

    Yall want to come on the interwebs and beat your chest, despite the fact that we’ve finally got aide for Gaza in a bill finally, and bitch and moan that Biden can’t overturn 70 years of foreign policy in less than a year when you woke up to a 70 year plight.

    When November comes I’ll pick Gazas best hope in a two party election and sleep with the knowledge that I did the best I could with what was available, then continue to work to support a better party. Keep hitting the sidewalk to get better. Get signatures. And you? You’ll still look like a toddler day dreaming of rainbow shitting unicorns rather than being the adult you are and doing what you can with what you have while actively, and actually working, to make things better.






  • So what’s your solution? Let me correct that, what’s your viable solution?

    Seriously, put a viable, can take the seat, and enough of the congressional seats to push us to not trump and you have my vote.

    Oh wait, instead of getting out to organize, you’re on the internet supporting the empty platitudes that will elect a man who is the same president who put Isreal in Jerusalem.

    For someone against genocide, you’re doing nothing to prevent it beyond helping the person who is objectively worse for Gaza. The man who entertained kissenger, who destroyed the deal with Iran that might’ve given us leverage against Israel, the man who idolized world dictators, who spoke favorably of Netanyahu.

    Your words on the interbet mean nothing if you’re not out trying to build the better party in our imperfect system.

    When he’s elected, and Netanyahu is given full unwavering support, you’ll have no one but yourself but to blame. Biden has made small but significant steps in pushing 70 years of international policy away from blind, unwavering support. Without congress there’s literally only so much he can do with it only ally in the middle east. All of that disappears as fast as the nuclear deal with Iran, when you help elect the guy who actually does support genocide. The same man who actively passed multiple Muslim ban initiatives.


  • I do have this problem with the monitor I hook up to my laptop for gaming occasionally. It’s looser because it gets plugged and unplugged more commonly and can occasionally slip out of I move my laptop to my lap so I can lean back when my back starts to ache.

    But this is not a common situation I think









  • Us, never. Just like with China you can’t win a land war over here, and a home attack has a greater risk of uniting is against a common enemy.

    Taiwan possibly. Though I don’t think so. Taiwan is much more useful as a political chess piece that China can beat their chests about. They can invoke the island and be offended about support for it whenever they need leverage right now.

    Not to mention it isn’t just the US alone that needs Taiwan and movement there risks a global response.




  • Oh poppy cock. Oregon has some pretty diverse grocery options most of them cheaper than Kroger and Albertsons.

    For example, corvallis, has a winco, Walmart market, grocery outlet, and traders Joe’s, all of which I can easily spend less at than Safeway or Fred Meyer, which is the big Kroger brand in Oregon.

    Then there’s also, university market and natural grocers, 15 minutes down 22 there’s an iga, locally owned chains designed to be close to certain housing, smaller, a little more expensive.

    Then there’s the Asian (like HK) and Indian (like Desi) markets. There used to be a Mexican grocery they’re but it shut down. I’m certain you’ll have one in Portland though. These places have amazing specialty ingredients as well as some great deals on standard stuff.

    Finally there’s a market of choice which is traditionally expensive, but occasionally has some seriously good deals.
