It's hard to even cite Trump's handling of the COVID crisis as the reason he's our worst president ever now that we know it's no different from what everyone else in our government would have done.

Well, the declaration of war against Germany was unanimous in both houses (there was actually one vote against declaring war on Japan, the country that actually attacked us), so that's a pretty clear yes.

I thought Ko-Fi and Buy Me a Coffee were literally the same thing until just this moment. Why are there two tip jar services with the exact same labels??? Also does anyone else find it patronizing that they both force their users to insinuate that they, like stereotypical millennials, will be...

Even for people who've gone their entire lives paying nothing for medical treatment, a couple hundred dollars seems like a small price to pay, but I might be underestimating people's capacity for making a mountain out of a molehill. Hashtag first world problems and all that, after all.

I feel like we've definitely reached the point where people are actually intentionally spreading bogus "cures" as a joke, but not only are they indistinguishable from the ones that aren't, the people who have been tricked into trying them are also too dumb to ever realize they've been tricked...

So basically, those fashionable masks that an entire cottage industry sprung up around making back in 2020 are and always have been useless, and somehow we're only just now learning this. Meanwhile, I'm assuming the overseas equivalents of the CDC figured it out a long time ago and it's just...

You know things are assbackwards when even prisoners, who otherwise have no rights in this country, aren't required to get vaccinated.

I've been watching gameplay videos of this game on and off for the past year or more, and tried it out during a free weekend. It sounds like it could easily be my new TF2 if I got it, but also it seems like the kind of game you need mic chat for, and that's not really feasible for me most of the...

Honestly, this tracks. Whenever I see mobs of vaccine protesters on the news, it's mostly people who haven't gone gray yet.

wow a whole two people in the entire party don't like each other surely this will bring about the downfall of the whole house of cards oh wait it turns out the house of cards was super-glued into place decades ago nevermind nothing to see here

Don't blame me; I voted for Dewey.

I imagine the Series X is powerful enough that it could just straight-up emulate the 360. Whatever they did to get eight 1.8GHz cores to do the work of three 3.2GHz ones is still witchcraft to me, and it's no surprise it required effectively modding the games, but the Series X's CPU is clocked...

I don't know. Why don't you ask the near-majority of Congressmen who continue to passively if not actively support the one that already happened a year ago? Are they not getting lobbyists urging them to take it seriously and stop impeding the investigations? Or are the lobbyists just not...

I had no idea there was a Fat Albert movie. But you're probably on to something with the Enchanted comparison. That might be what got people to see it as a cliché premise; it was even set in New York just like The Smurfs was. But yeah I'm specifically talking about the wave (some would say...

Also Biden is no Abe Lincoln. I imagine he'd just let them secede peacefully and even try to ignore any acts of war they committed against us as long as possible. If anyone ever wondered "What if the south had seceded while Buchanan was still in office?" we might get to find out.

My point is that they've made themselves impossible to unseat, so any effort directed at downticket elections is just going to be wasted.

And this is the guy that Obama had planned to appoint to the Supreme Court. There are sitting members of Congress in the Republican Party right now who have made a bigger deal about this. ...How soon is Biden allowed to fire him?

You mean the people who are incapable of ever losing their jobs because the entire country has been gerrymandered into permanent redness?

You know what's the most insane thing about the first Sonic movie? They actually played the "Beloved cartoon character gets sucked into the REAL WORLD" premise (that people have somehow gotten into their heads is a cliché despite only ever happening in The Smurfs and that Rocky and Bullwinkle...

Thing is, when you're in a situation where you'll be vilified whether you do the right thing or not, a wise person would see it as a perfect excuse to do the right thing. Hedging your bets that sitting on your ass and hoping things magically get better will be better for your reputation is what...
