The market is not the economy.

The market is a measure of how much wealth is being extracted from the working class.

If that’s what the economy is then it will never matter how good it is, because the working class people still can’t afford shit.

Yeah people just care about bread on the table and the roof over their head. Telling 150 million voting Americans to care about the world is falling on early 100 million deaf ears.

75 million don’t care, or actively dislike anybody outside the US.

Another 38 million only care as long as it’s convenient. And right now it’s not convenient.

Maybe 10-15 million are anti Republican because they’re lgbtq+.

Of the 150 million voters, 80 million are voting on a single issue. And for many of them, it’s either for or against abortion.

We’ve been supplying the West with a military for decades. We put more in to our ministry, and by extension every NATO member country’s military than the rest of NATO combined. We don’t have social programs, no healthcare, no child care, under funded education, no paid sick leave, no parental leave. We have a big shiney military.

People can’t afford to take a day off for the flu and they’re supposed to care about Europe?

Big ask mate. People here care about how they’re doing today and tomorrow. Not Ukraine 6 months from now.

You can disagree with that guy. That’s fine. But you need to understand that your attitude mirrors the attitude of the democratic party, and it literally just cost them the election.

Ignore the people who want change, assuming they’ll vote for you anyway is a great way to get them to vote for someone else.

Reform or fail.

Obama got people excited about healthcare reform. Biden got people excited about student debt relief. Clinton tried to get people excited about a female president and Harris centered her campaign around running against Trump.

Social programs get people excited.

Shit I was saying when Biden was still running and I got crucified for it.

As you shift to the right you leave your base behind, ignoring a growing, left swinging faction within the party is going to lead to outcomes like this. Working class people all have the same problems, and one party says they’ll do something about it. They’re lying, people who are generally smarter and paying attention know they’re lying, but that’s not most people.

The other party has had a chance, and failed to do anything to alleviate the concerns of the working class. Regardless of the circumstances, or their actual ability to affect change. And they spent the entire election cycle trying to curry votes from a dedicated base instead of getting voters excited about something.

Swing left, swing hard. Become the unhinged leftist the other side is already accusing you of being.

Arm yourselves.

Let them be the first to draw blood but do not go down without a fight.

They want a war, they’ve spent decades screaming about it, and stockpiling weapons.

They will be emboldened to violence.

Arm yourselves.

Alaska and Kentucky are the two.

A: all models are trained on something

2, you’re building your own straw man here. You’ve set up an extremely narrow condition under which this particular type of pedophilia is acceptable. Prove to me that that’s the norm, that it’s a typical use scenario, and that people looking at that crap are exclusively looking at loli, and not images meant to look like real people, and there’s a debate to be had there. But if you think any of that is true you’re lying to yourself. Sexualization of others is not going to happen in a vacuum under sterile conditions, it’s going to bleed in to real life.

The act of baking does indeed make you a baker. Definitionally.

Just because you aren’t going pro doesn’t mean you aren’t making a cake.

The only people that sexualize children are pedophiles.

Pucker up, Omaha is going to be a tight race. And next year they’re going to try again to go to winner take all here. Lines hours long for early voting in areas that traditionally have never had lines.

Cross your fingers for Vargas and Osborn too.

And a Sgt Harriman for good measure.

Well sometimes there’s a single cab at the airport so I think we can narrow this down.

It can’t be Omaha, because the airport is in the Iowa part of Omaha. And that area is hilly and forested once you get out of town. Though this could be Sarpy county between Bellevue and Papillon. Which would place this encounter at around 42nd and Cornhusker, and there are better ways to get there rather than driving over the fields so that ain’t it.

It’s not West O, because that airport explosively serves wealthy people and cabs just aren’t there.

The terrain is hilly, but also cultivated with grain, but the fields are light green, just starting to grow. A red sky indicates impending thunderstorm. There are no trees so the farthest east side of my state is out.

So this has to be Lancaster county, the only other major airport that might have a single cab is in Lincoln, and the cab is to go to Omaha. Specifically, this is west of Lincoln, in the early spring. Which means not only does the mugger have a gun, so does the victim. Spider Man is also armed. There are 4 rifles and some deer meat in the trunk of the cab.

That is absolutely not what Clinton was impeached for.

The investigation in to Clinton began before he’d ever met Lewinsky, and it was over some real estate dealings. Because Clinton had not actually committed an impeachable offense, Ken Starr had to keep going back to Congress to ask for a wider scope.

The investigation took so long that after it began, Lewinsky was hired, Clinton won a re-election, there was sexual activity, word got out about it, and then Clinton lied about it under oath during a completely different deposition regarding a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Paula Jones, which is what he was ultimately impeached for.

It wasn’t the affair or the harassment, it was the lie, and it was only the lie because they were absolutely desperate to impeach Clinton for anything by that point.

I made it to the J’s before I found a company there was even a chance I might support, and it’s the worst of the sandwich options near me that isn’t a subway.

Sysco was the next one and that’s just because if you go to a restaurant, chances are pretty good they’re getting their food from Sysco.

I used to use the company Wi-Fi to look for other jobs every time they threatened a change I didn’t like.

Braveheart strokes the same freedom boner that The Patriot does.

So it’ll be paid off sometime between the last star dying and the first black hole evaporating.

Drill bits are coated in tungsten carbide. Sometimes. There are a variety of coatings.

The drill bits you’re buying at the big box store are high speed still with some kind of coating to help them last a little longer. The specialty drill bits you’re buying for working on metal are also HSS with a different coating and probably different tip geometry.

End mills are milling/lathe inserts can be HSS or carbide, also with some tungsten coating. Importantly, these are sintered, and made out of dust.

Tungsten carbide is waaaay too brittle to work as a drill bit.

You ain’t putting it anywhere. It’s getting delivered and staying where they put it.

A single 5 foot cube of tungsten would weigh about as much as an above average sized single family home.
