Don't forget the conglomerate names:

Sounds like a great way for these kids to learn about civil disobedience. Just file every day for a new name and clog the system to the point of uselessness

It's quite simple when you realize that the non-Japanese aren't people

It sure seems like those objectors leaving the party are good at holding their nose in the voting booth

"Can I have your number" would be a good start

Nancy Pelosi, one of the most effective and successful politicians in congress?

That's high praise

Looks like the Roscosmos personnel will be taking a company vacation to Ukraine

That's true, it was cannon technology that allowed steam engines to be created

Oh I see, definitely

I think this mission is their desperate attempt to have a success so Putin doesn't draft half their workforce and tell the rest to start launching Soyuz rockets at Ukranian preschools

I'd say she'd have a decent shot at 2028. It doesn't seem like there's a natural successor to Biden like Hillary was to Obama, so my prediction is that the primary is going to be wild

Is there a punchline I'm missing?

Every now and then I look into train tickets to the state my parents live, and every time it's cheaper and faster to take a plane

Aluminum would be nearly impossible to obtain, it's actually my preferred grab in a hypothetical "You're going back in time and can take one thing" situation

And if they don't switch, it may straight-up become religious

That sounds like an incredibly shallow reason to stop contributing

Low effort comment: He looks like an evil Beatles member

Politics, the party in charge decided that the best response was to pretend the problem didn't exist and maybe it'll go away. Wearing a mask is a very public sign that there is a problem.

There wasn't any need to rush to get Buttigieg elected in the 2020 election, he's going to be around for decades

I can't guarantee I haven't made politically spicy comments in the last 7 years and I'm usually a "trust the system" liberal

It was supposed to land tomorrow, so if it crashed today, that means they couldn't even get the craft into a lunar orbit.

ISRO > Roscosmos

Some function of axle weight and mileage would probably be the best combination

I'm liking the camo on that amphibious assault craft

To entice new customers, Diamond Crystal recently introduced a redesigned box in a smaller size. The new one-pound box sells for $8.99 on Amazon. Its three-pound counterpart cost $8 in 2018 and retails for $12.99 today.

"Maybe if we change the box they won't notice we tripled the price of our product"

We've got the same problem in the US, so I feel you

There's anything left of the war chest?

Capitalism: imminently about to collapse under its own weight for the last 150 years

I have 5-20 minutes between calls at my work, so I've had plenty of time to sneak in some books on the clock.

I've been rereading through the Cosmere, so Mistborn eras 1+2, Warbreaker, and I'm currently reading Elantris.

To-read is Tress of the Emerald sea, then I probably should go for a non-fiction book to feel more enightened

Now I'm no politician, but I don't think someone running against a "return to normalcy" incumbent should be giving positive views of the country

According to the documentary Down Periscope, a nuclear sub is no match for a diesel sub with a misfit crew.

The US Navy wouldn't last a week

Because the Jews operate them?

I propose that countries start adopting a "Do the opposite of what Germany is doing" energy policy. We'll get this global warming thing fixed in a decade

Chopping up babies has biblical precedent

On the campaign trail, Buttigieg proposed reforming the court to 15 members, 5 appointed by Republicans, 5 by Democrats, and 5 appointed by the rest from the lower courts. "Balanced Bench" would be the technical term

I think it sounds like a good way to make the court as a whole less political.

Biden [...] has a solid history of changing his mind but only once it becomes politically convenient for him

You say that like it's a bad thing. Biden has sat himself in the center of his voterbase his entire career.

I see that as being a good thing for a democratically elected politician.

I knew that deal on my Lockheed Martin freezer was too good to be true!

Because they're having less babies than is needed to maintain or grow their population

2.1 babies/woman is about what's needed to maintain a population, China was at 1.09 last year

Mujdei?

It sounds tasty, I'm jealous

It just sucks you are stuck with two parties that don't completely oppose each other on all policy points.

Republicans opposing Democrats on all points is how we got into this mess, blame Newt Gingrich
