If he declares it an official act, then it’s not illegal. Drone strikes are pretty official.

SCOTUS fucked up super-sized

The “UK Metric Association” would like a word. (In 2013.)

On Xitter? HA! They fired them first. It’s . . . mmmmm not a priority.

Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

2000s began with Bush v Gore

Most I’d do is grab my cat by the scruff of her neck and say “NO! BAD! Grrrrrrrrrr!!!” and she’d run off with her tail between her legs and a sorry look on her face.

That ain’t no cat yo. I think you may have domesticated an opossum

Huh.

‘Everything is doomed’ is epic and has charm, but ‘humanity is doomed’ moves you to action.

Okay. I mean. Whatever gets the action i guess.

Epic and has charm?? I don’t . . . Its . .

Depends on how bad you want to go to court, and how big of an asshole your former company is.

No argument from me. Except that it passed already and, well, gestures to everything

My whole complaint is that “Saving the planet” is intended to be a simple way to bring up the many, many things humans need to change to reverse our destructive path. They’re all implied in that.

By arguing a million more specific points instead (“well the rocks will still be here”, “actually, personal water consumption is a factor. . .”) is weakening the purpose of using that phrase. If I wanted to promote water conservation, I wouldn’t say “Let’s save the planet”, I’d say “let’s conserve water”.

The OP meme is about just that - showing the absurdity of arguing a single aspect of planetary destruction in order to - ?? In order to do what - Promote geological sciences? Dismiss environmental concerns? (This is my main gripe, fwiw.) Be cool and aloof? Scoring internet hot take points?

It’s all a ridiculous exercise in - well, exactly what we see here: Many comments pointing out obvious - and therefore pointless - exceptions to our species’ unconscionable destruction of the only habitat anyone has ever known. It’s just exhausting.

They saw Biden was “too unelectable” a year ago? Sure. That’s why they won’t shut up about it. They’re experienced campaign managers. The only reason they weren’t pulling this BS in 2016 is because they were still in middle school. Well, and also because Hillary was polling at 99% the whole time.

Ah, Kirk, we got a little problem here . . .

All over but the shouting.

MLK Jr. and Anne Frank were the same age.

Abe Lincoln got a fax from a samurai.
(Okay that didn’t actually happen - but it could have)

1: Hey Moe! Who’s out there?

2: Quit pushin’!

3: Quiet! Ya chuckleheads!

Internetizens: Yeah, pretty much

Mmm.

The short version is that the Constitution says the President is the one who gets the most votes. The Electoral college says there are only 548 votes, and they are mostly all awarded by each of the states to one victor (first-past-the-post).

The practical result is that if a party can only win 36% of the vote in a state, they get 0 electoral votes. Because of that, a two-party system has more or less been the norm.

It’s not ideal.
