I am high on the same copium in order to avoid a complete breakdown.

The sad part is I don’t think most gen z voters who withheld their vote for Kamala fully appreciated what a 2nd Trump term meant, but here we are.

It’s worth mentioning that this has only been the case since the 1950’s. FDR was elected four times and died during his final term, after which term limits were added to the constitution in response.

Just called mine! I probably sounded like an ignoramus, but hopefully I said enough intelligible buzz words.

Crucially, though, these changes don’t just happen the moment we reach the 1.5°C threshold. They are incremental.
As Penn State University climate scientist Michael Mann told Inside Climate News in 2018: “A better analogy is a minefield. The further out onto that minefield we go, the more explosions we are likely to set off.”

Here, someone make discourse.

I wonder what makes you think the Senate won’t do the same shit they did to Obama on his way out?

There is no way they would consider approving anyone Biden nominates with our incoming Kaiser.

Thumbnail has the same energy

That is unfortunate, but also Tuesday in parts of the US. I’ll be on the lookout for a racially diverse, lgbtq+ friendly, left leaning country with socialized medicine and good educational systems, but I may need to compromise somewhere to escape in a timely manner.

There are way more of us than there are of them.

I fear we are at the point where our numbers no longer matter. Protests will be met with violence from the state. The military will be used against political rivals. The populace will be given a mold and will be punished for breaking out of it.

I’ve been looking into options. Spain has my interest.

“Americans” did win their country back. We aren’t welcome in it anymore.

I literally just talked to a doctor about starting HRT yesterday, confident in a Harris win. I feel like such a fool. I haven’t actually started, just talked about it. My wife and I agree that waiting at least until this time next year is wise, depending on how bad things get.

The shitty part is feeling like I’m betraying all my trans brothers and sisters out there who can’t just put on cis-face, since there are medical records and public posts identifying them as not cis-normative, and I’m just going to hide. I don’t want to put my family in danger, but I also can’t stomach doing nothing as my people are also at risk.

not all of you americans are piece of shit bigots

Australia’s kindest affirmation.

Today you may be a youth, but you will be an old someday.

“The rule in question, known as Bredt’s rule in textbooks, was reported in 1924. It states that molecules cannot have a carbon-carbon double bond at the ring junction of a bridged bicyclic molecule, also known as the “bridgehead” position. The double bond on these structures would have distorted, twisted geometrical shapes that deviate from the rigid geometry of alkenes taught in textbooks.
…A paper published by UCLA scientists in the journal Science has invalidated that idea. They show how to make several kinds of molecules that violate Bredt’s rule, called anti-Bredt olefins, or ABOs, allowing chemists to find practical ways to make and use them in reactions.”

I would die happy if I could watch an animated adaptation of Worm from the Parahumans universe. Live action would be cool, but I think a series in the same vein as Invincible would work well and could represent the source material better.

We’re trying 😭

I don’t understand the concept of horror movies as entertainment

Maybe don’t critique them then? I personally never ‘got’ horror as a genre either until the last year or so, but the feeling I get from a holocaust documentary is not comparable.

I guess the point is that if a charismatic person steps into the void, the machine already has momentum. Doesn’t need to be one of those 3, necessarily. Hell, most people didn’t know who JD Vance was before he was picked for VP, and he’s slowly gaining support even though he had a rocky start with the charisma of a wet napkin.

They will rally behind anyone angry enough at the right people. Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, Ron DeSantis, just to name a few.

We will need to fight against fascism after we elect Harris for a long time.
