Natural disasters, + 

Correction: it has a 18m seawall. After 2011 they went "fuck" and made it bigger.

USPol, the future (--- or +++, depending on your opinion) 

@Phorm The sarcasm is a least more amusing.

(Ipos generic ballot shifted D by 5 points this week btw)

Natural disasters, + 

Huh, TIL.

There is a nuclear plant in Japan that was much closer to the epicenter of the 2011 earthquake, and it took just as big of a tsunami as the plant that melted down.

Except *this* plant has a 15m seawall essentially because one dude went "No fuck you build it right". And it took both the quake and the water just fine.

US pol, +~ 

Fun demographic fact: the assholes currently trying to ruin the country have much fewer supporters among young and middle age people.

Which means WE OUTNUMBER THEM. If Millennials and the next gen voted at the same % old people do the country would be near solid blue and we could work on making the GOP extinct and replacing it with a left wing party.

So take that anger and put it toward that. Register to vote, the deadline is soon. Consider helping others vote if you can.

@Phorm Not really. Like the current situation was the normal for the court pre Warren ish.

@Phorm Alternative proposition: stand in front of this bottle!
(seriously the dude is the most unpopular SCOTUS nominiee ever. The assholes are just loud and scared. Won't be the first time we've had a reactionary asshole on the SC either)

re: uspol (analysis, ~) 

@anthracite You're off by a month on the midterm date, and the new Congress isn't seated until January. The calculus is pretty much that though, still.

Also imagining Mueller literally saying "TL/DR GUILTY" made me laugh, so thank you.

re: General, if depressing, advice 

@Phorm So is depression.

US Pol (---) 

@Phorm Most unpopular SCOTUS nominiee ever says otherwise.

@Phorm Court's size is set by legislation. Easy enough to add three or three hundred if he's a problem.

Song lyrics 

If you don't have the spark you'll 
never see fire, but we've got the match right here 
Let the world awake. Make no mistake 
we will still be standing when the 
smoke has cleared 

@Heffboom_Konijn @kobunny One line for each ear, with a second line for subliminal? :P

Oblique US pol (-----) 

@Phorm Mm. what we have right now is rumors. Nothing has actually even happened yet.

And *before* that we have an electoral wave building. If they keep poking like this it doesn't much matter if they fire Mueller because a 30+ Dem majority House will just reappoint him.

@Phorm Watergate speedrun, remember. And this process is what got Nixon *fired* not what cemented his victory.

general - talk 

@Soreth @Phorm Being a dick or straight up evil doesn't prevent influence. It just makes the splat when they fall from said more entertaining.

US pol, joke 

Now that I'm up I can make this one:

I am now officially more qualified to be President than Donald Trump. In that I'm a US citizen, 35, and NOT Donald Trump.

family, MH -- 

I just wanted one day. one day off

And of course the instant I take it it's "Oh you need to do this and this and that and did you want to go to dinner"
