White House Goes ‘Dark Brandon’ On Marjorie Taylor Greene, Flips Attack Back On Her
It's a bit sad that the democrats are so milk toast and ineffective in their messaging that even the slightest pushback against republicans is referred to as Dark Brandon.

Reddit kills awards and coins
Makes sense to remove things that people can boycott. They have a graph on someone's computer where income from awards points straight down. That looks really bad for potential buyers so it's better to remove it and claim the dip was intentional.

We the people made up the rules and we can change them in any way we want. If the supreme Court has some kind of magic that stops that they are free to deploy that but in the meantime we can assume that they are flesh bags like the rest of us.

‘No Republican party’ in US today, says anti-Trump conservative judge
Reply in thread
Both the democratic and republican party are several smaller parties tied together into two disgusting rat king. If one of them disappear today there will be an instant split of the surviving party into two new rat kings. The collapse isn't what they fear. They fear that the Overton window would move left.

Downvotes = “I disagree” or “this is bad and you should feel bad”?
Its both. It will never, not be both. This idea that there should be some rule that we have to up vote things that we disagree with because it's well written is cope from people that needs to go outside.
Comments get downvoted because it failed to convince people to agree with the comment and that makes it a bad comment.

What is something that definitely should not exist?

Definitely not how that works. All companies are taxed and they don't get any special representation outside lobbying that they were going to do either way and churches do in fact put a lot of the money they should have payed in taxes into lobbying.

What are some of the best purchases of your life?
A couple of years ago I bought a 3d printer for 400 dollars and it is now my primary hobby. Turns out that having a hobby that you enjoy is super important to your mental health.

I think it's because leftists are, as a group, a lot less toxic and hateful. They are happy to be a tiny community chatting with each other about being a trans furry communist all day every day.
The right on the other hand are, as a group, a bunch of anti social losers who thrive on hating and complaining about stuff. That's not a sustainable platform because it's either a miserable experience or it gets shut down for hate speech so they migrate around and attach themselves to heathier communities and complain about those instead.

What is Tom Bombadil?
Reply in thread
I never thought of him being immune to Sauron as him being powerful. He is just like the the hobbits but to its fullest. Bombadil is perfectly content with his own existence and there is nothing for the ring to tempt him with.

I don't think they hate themselves. They just hate other things that republicans also hate. They hate poor people, gay people and trans people enough that they are willing to take some hits to themselves as long as it hits the other groups harder.

Popular vote is what the most number of people want. The idea that popular vote is bad is anti-democratic.

Beehaw did the opposite. If you are from reddit, you are not the pink people. You are the grey ones. Beehaw said no before the fourth panel happened.

Laguna.chat has a lot of really racist communities

It feels like s legal liability to start a instance and not police it. People could upload CP and you would be on the hook because you are the server owner and clearly did nothing to stop it.

Often it's worse. It like telling people to move to a different country because the roads are better there.

I wonder what the general kill count for languages that can be directly attributed to the english.

how did military commanders in olden times send instructions across hundreds of miles without concern of forgery or interception?
I am not an expert on this and it's just my understanding from general history things.
I think wax seals were a big part of it. If you have a ring you can make a bunch of wax seals but it's really hard to make a copy of the ring from a wax seal. Give each general a document with the royal seal on it and the next time they get an order with the royal seal you can compare it with the seal you already have. If you use the wax seal to close the letter so that you need to break the wax to open the letter you can be fairly certain that the one with the ring that wrote it and that nobody else has opened it.
I also think chains of commands is important. King gives letter to messenger Steve. Steve then gives it to Dave and Dave knows who Steve is so he trust the message. Dave then gives it to Rodney and Rodney gives it to a Lord. Each person knows who the person they are getting a message from is so the chain is trusted. Should Ivan kill Dave and try to give a fake message to Rodney they Rodney would just go "where the fuck is dave" and not deliver the message.
