It’s not just the US, it’s been happening for years in other countries like the UK as well.

Traditionally there has been one party that is for working people and another for capital and the owner class.

The right has been getting further and further into far right authoritarianism. That posed a problem for the Dems going back to the Clinton Presidency: do they stick with being the party of working people or do they try to have their cake and eat it by tacking to the center and assuming that the working class will continue to vote for them no matter what?

It largely worked for a time and gave Obama two terms but ever since then they have been susceptible to criticism that they’re out of touch, elitists, entitled, and that they look down their nose at working people whilst still assuming that they will get their vote, which opened the door to Republicans.

You can’t serve two masters for very long, you can’t be the party of working people while being run by upper middle class graduates. You can’t claim to care about the people with the least while cozying up to CEOs and megadonors. Sooner or later it all falls apart, as it did with Hillary Clinton’s run, where working people disliked her elitism and she didn’t have enough support from elsewhere to make up the shortfall. That should’ve been a warning. Instead they doubled down.

The problem in the US is that there are only two viable parties. The Dems won’t go back to being the party of working people because they wouldn’t know how to do that even if they wanted to. What happens when the Trump Presidency turns out to be a disaster?

Yorkshire Tea Gold, a little agave and a splash of milk.

All religions exist to be twisted by the worst people on the planet, same as it ever was.

Some immigrants, once they become established in a country, will then seek to stop other immigrants, even of the same ethnicity, culture or ancestry, from doing what they did. They’ll pull up the ladder behind them.

What size is the membrane separating one point in time from another? If the membrane is the size of the observable universe we wouldn’t see a difference. If it’s the size of your living room you’d be fucked because your living room only exists at any given point in space time for a very very short time.

See, this is why I rent.

Good call.

Have you checked out the new Vance model? It’s almost lifelike.

After the diner scene in Reservoir Dogs when Little Green Bag kicks in.

It’s just “behold the master race” with a college education.

Numbers are so 1940’s, I thought they might have moved to QR codes by now.

Trump is on record as being tough on criminals so the cops shouldn’t hold back and play nice.

I’d like to turn him off now.

Just as well. If you turn him on he offers to buy you a pony.

Braking during impact is the worst thing you can do.

This is not correct, where are you getting this from?

Deer on the road is an edge case that humans cannot handle well.

If I’m driving at dawn or dusk, when they’re moving around in low light I’m extra careful when driving. I’m scanning the treeline, the sides of the road, the median etc because I know there’s a decent chance I’ll see them and I can slow down in case they make a run across the road. So far I’ve seen several hundred deer and I haven’t hit any of them.

Tesla makes absolutely no provision in this regard.

This whole FSD thing is a massive failure of oversight, no car should be doing self driving without using cameras and radar and Tesla should be forced to refund the suckers customers who paid for this feature.

Police just released a photo of the suspects:

You’re changing your whole workflow to bend to their will.

No, you’re plugging it in for 10 minutes if you somehow manage to forget to leave it plugged in overnight once in a while.
