Aged like cheese.
Cheese is good, though. Bullshit seems like a more appropriate comparison.
Nattō then
Aged like racism.
But I like cheese...
lol I keep getting replies like this. I guess what I meant was, cheese is expected to age. Like OPs scenario aged exactly as I would have expected it to.
Jean-Paul Sartre said it best I think.
"Never believe that anti-Semites [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
Stop slandering Orangutans. That’s a candid shot of a fine gentleman.
Comparing them to MTG is a horrific action.
that is actually a howler monkey, orangutans are actually quiet.
Isn't this a howler monkey? Point still stand though.
You’re probably right. I don’t know my monkeys very well.
Clearly, for the orangutan is an ape!🤦
/s, just teasing, although it IS an ape, just like my mother.
Oook
hands librarian a banana
GNU Terry Pratchett
Whoa there, thanks but I'm married!
the orangutan is one of the big human like face.
Like your mother and every other human in existence.
That indeed is the joke.
I always thought explaining the joke made it so much better.
I find it's more effective if you really lean into it. Break the joke down into parts, then explain each part, then explain how it all works together. It's easily five times funnier.
Joking aside, this is exactly what I do when people make tasteless, offensive jokes or when I want someone to go away.
you're right. pretty much every primate species is more advanced than MTG. my bad

Both sides are same /s
"Entitlement Reform" has been a watchword in both parties going back to the Reagan Administration.
Democrats will tell you they've got an innovative exciting new solution to slow the rate at which health care costs rise, then shift a bunch of public sector money over to private sector subsidies.
Republicans will tell you they're cutting fat out of the system, then transform a bunch of public sector spending into private sector tax breaks.
Healthcare gets more expensive and less accessible. Each team blames the other one. A few socialists in some of the bluer states suggest we try a public Medicare-for-All model, then get primaried out of office in the next cycle by a pack of lobbyists in blue waist coats.
"Ah, but the pawl and the gear are clearly two different components doing separate things!" I cry, to any sucker who will listen.
Don't work, Daddy musk is here to make a 3rd party which will toxify the potential of any legitimate 3rd party, and we will continue on with the same system.
If their plan for not having elections at all doesn't come to fruition
I, for one, am excited to see him Billionaire Blowout himself on a scale not seen since Bloomberg hemorrhaged $1B during the 2020 Primaries to come in fourth place.

Voters chose the option furthest right so the government shifted right. This happens every time the left most option isn’t chosen.
Voters chose the option furthest right
Politicians picked their voters in order to guarantee this outcome. Gerrymandering, mass disenfranchisement along social and ethnic lines, vote caging, intimidation, misinformation, straight up sabotage of voting venues... It happens all the time in liberal democracies, particularly in poorer, more homogeneous, and more rural neighborhoods.
As soon as the politicians fuck up on the math and a socialist breaks through (as with AOC beating Crowley back in '18 or Mamdani trouncing Cuomo last week), you get to see the "moderates" and their conservative cats' paws rush in to subvert the popular will.
This happens every time the left most option isn’t chosen.
The joke is how quickly a government will move to the right when the left-most option is chosen.
you can just say you voted for trump, you don't need to show a diagram

That was actually just one of the mating calls of the Samsquanch
What sucks here is she opposes Trump's bill.
Don't believe her words, believe her actions. And those says she supports it.
She says she opposes it after voting for it. Don’t let her off the hook.
muroskwi said the same thing
Oh indeed: that's part of what really makes this curdle.
She voted for the bill in the House, then came out against it stating that she didn't know the bill limited AI regulation.
The bill then went to the Senate where the provisions limiting AI regulation were removed, and then passed.
The House will once again vote on the bill, which now does not restrict AI regulation.
She hasn't made any statement but presumably she now supports the bill, given her only complaint about it has been removed.
i have a feeling she was going to support the bill anyways, she wanted some way to not take the blame for supporting the bbb as a whole.
I agree that is the most likely, same as the Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). Although she didn't even have the decency (?) to say which part she didn't like, she just said it wasn't ready, but still voted for it.
To quote her directly,
“And I’ve been here quite a while, and you all know I’ve got a few battle scars underneath me. But I think I held my head up and made sure that the people of Alaska are not forgotten in this.”
So in true Republican fashion she gets hers, so fuck everyone else. Of course the small victories in no way offset the amount of damage done by the bill at large. But now she can campaign that she "Fought for Alaska" while screwing over everyone, including Alaskans.
She'll fall in line like the rest of the spineless Reps.
