TL;DR nothingburger. Bureaucratic process says the DNC has to meet by a specific date, the DNC doesn’t really want to, it’s filing a waiver for a time extension that will almost absolutely get passed without issue.

Joe Biden will most definitely be on the Ohio ballot. Hes still going to lose the state, but he’ll be on the ballot

… it’s because I didn’t laugh at your joke?

Yeah, it’s pretty clear that this increase in wage will bump up the end cost of ordering at these restaurants but like… it’s by such a small margin where anyone complaining about it is a massive dork.

Big Mac is 30 cents more expensive so staff can get paid (closer to) a living wage. That’s a very fair trade off for the American people

… this is all because I said you wernt the smartest cookie…?

I’m guessing she just sold a bunch of Lockheed Martin stock

This is actually because I said you wernt “the smartest cookie”?

Yep. Trades, nursing (and related fields, lab-related medical jobs), hell, even skilled manufacturers are great paths to go into. They’re not glitzy, and you still have to like… do work. But that’s just part of living in society. Someone’s gotta clean the toilets, someone’s gotta fix the power lines.

… yeah dude. I think that’s what it was lmao.

All because I called you a little gullible. This is incredible.

Which trades are you referring to?

I live close by to a community college that allows basically anyone to fairly quickly (1-2 yrs) get into a trade. I know several people who did. It’s not “easy” in the sense that yeah, you’re still learning a whole fucking skillset and trying to land your first adult job, but it’s definitely… extremely doable…?

Rich parents.

There’s really no other answer for this one. I went to a very nice university. The average person has no idea how many college students are coming from phenomenally high income families where price is essentially no issue.

It’s just a matter of how high up the top 10% is relative to everyone else. Both your parents are doctors and they have 18 years to save up - half a mill for Amy’s college bill is basically piss money.

The only problem is that these college students tend to grow up in areas where this is basically the norm. I had so many 19 year olds act flabbergasted that not only are neither of my parents doctors/lawyers/engineers… they didn’t even gasp go to college!

What was that about being on the spectrum

Wooooo yes more performative partisan bullshit! That’s what all the people want! More performative bullshit! More insults! Let’s take some money out of Medicare and fund a big gold statue of Biden taking a dump on Trumps chest!!!

Yes well, maybe look in the mirror if we’ve come this far and you didn’t realize I was calling your ‘dad jokes’ embarassing- and that I did not actually believe you for a moment thought I had found a talking cookie.

Really, it’s genuinely impressive. It’s like you started playing peak-a-boo with a grown adult, who then called you an idiot for doing so, and then you interpreted that as if you were actually disappearing and got scared.

Keep going, I love to hear from you.

… you really aren’t the smartest cookie. Almost impressively so

Cops, judges, and the rest of the criminal justice system kill thousands of people every year - be it directly or indirectly.

I really don’t think a lot of people understand just how many Americans every single year are impacted not just directly through things like police brutality - but egregious prison sentences and fines for either minor crimes or crimes they didn’t even commit.

For every news story you get about some poor guy who was exonerated after a false conviction, there are a lot more who were falsely convicted and never got vindication - and even more who have to pay tickets or face jail times over made up misdemeanors.

Seemingly the AI from Goldeneye 64

Perplexing, but nice to see!

It’s a really great and faithful remake - but I feel like I heard so little about it that I’m so confused to see new endings and player characters come out for it now months later.

Hoping it has some second wind with the general gaming crowd. Seems like it got overshadowed by RE4 and the latest Zelda game and never hit it off with that kind of TikTok, game of the month crowd

No, we’re of the same mindset. It’s clear the missiles didn’t fall on these vehicles by chance, it’s just up for some debate regarding on if they were deliberately targeted knowing they were aid vehicles or not

We don’t, which is why I say “likely” - but the sheer precision and clear markings on the vehicles makes me doubt the “it was a series of accidents” explanation.
