They won't solve the problem, but they will help you through the day. They will make those more intense moments more tolerable. They will act as a natural antidepressant to take the edge off. When you are not in a good space the most important thing is to find something that makes you smile

Nature and wildlife really does have a way of making things feel better. No matter how deep of a hole you are in, no matter how awful your life is, no matter what ways your brain is unable to cope with the world presented to it; a prolonged engagement with a few peaceful animals makes it all better

The fact that he said "the n word" and didn't type out that word in full shows that he already knows what the problem is and why those two posts were treated differently

This man has single handedly done more political damage to not just the tories, but the concept of parliament as a whole because he keeps creating headlines like "bill against throwing dogs into the sea voted down" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo...

There is an MP whose entire parliamentary career is shooting down bills that no one could possibly object to and have a complete bipartisan consensus because he does not believe that those bills have recieved enough scrutiny

The ten commanments are hit and miss. The one about not killing is a classic but unfortunately went unnoticed historically. It is nice that God mandated a day off though

When you think about it, there are a lot of fauna and life which thrive more in higher temperatures. So if anything global warming is the fossil fuel industries preserving life and encouraging ecology!

Considering the British example, I can't wait for them to all immediately start lying and saying that they all held their nose and voted NFP only for their posts to be pulled up of them saying "FUCK THE TROTS I AM VOTING RN TO SAVE THE REPUBLIC FROM ISLAMO-LEFTISM!"

Maybe it was a bad day, and if he preforms well in another debate then I could see him shifting the narrative to it just being an old man senior moment. But why take that risk knowing that if he has a similar performance then his campaign will collapse?

That's a misread of my post, it's a no but not a firm definitive one. I say no only insofar as you tend not to see near senile people participate in public debates for high office, especially in today's age where info is much more easily disseminated. Biden is a unique case who might make this a yes

It depends. Most of the time no. But if your debate performance was bad to the point where people are wondering if you are going to be alive by the end of your next term, and if you are cognizant enough for the remainder of your current term, then I would say yes

Personally, I would say about 70% for a smooth transition, and about 50-60% for a scenario where Biden stays with a stable party

Call me cynical, but I think that 70% for the first is a tad optimistic. Maybe if all the future debates go ahead and Biden is closer to what he was like in 2020, but if we see another debate in September and he gives a similar performance then Biden is going to bleed voters like crazy

After 20, there are not as many "ages". You have 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and one last category which is just "really old" -- only pedants try to talk about the ones inbetween

We are talking about hypothetical people who spend thousands of bucks on toys, not the average median American. There is a difference between being at risk of destitution due to the hellish conditions of a wage-labourer, and someone with an infantile and self-destructive obsession with commodities

If we are being honest, the kind of adult who spends ludicrous amounts of money on action figures intended for children is either going to have a broken life and on the verge of homelessness or be incredibly well off. There is no middle ground, they are either uber screw-ups or part of the 0.1%

Given a scenario where BS gains a massive boost in popularity, an inevitability considering that Twitter is only a few good wacks and Musk screw-ups away from collapsing and here and Threads are the only two viable competitors, said new wave are going to ignore the federalism completely

Federalism only works on Reddit because it acts as a singular body which a bunch of fourms exist on at the same time. It doesn't on BS because said federalism doesn't work on a core level with Twitter's design

The amazing part about British movies and tv is that there is a unique niche dedicated to directors deliberately trying to get Doctor Who performances, and actors who want to play the Doctor and are very unsubtly channeling that aura. This also exists with James Bond

Obviously he is working from a different framework with this question, but I see it as a very valid one. All across the world you have bourgeois centrist green parties, and ecosocialist/communist parties, and yet the issue of climate change has not on a national level propelled any of them to power

I hate to bring him up and give intellectual credit to him, but Dominic Cummings (former Leave and Boris Johnson advisor) made a point which has stuck with me. If climate is in fact the most important issue in the world, then why are Green parties not getting supermajorities worldwide?
