We used to do this at work. But it would turn out the company basically shut down after thanksgiving because so few people actually took vacation thru out the year.

Now we are on “permissive time off” which means there is no set amount you can take or really… have to take. So in general, people just work more and are pissed off about it

Cluster bomb =/= carpet bomb.

Carpet bomb is indiscriminately bombing the shit out of a huge area.

Cluster bomb is a specific bomb that releases many smaller bombs. The biggest issue with cluster bombs in how many of the bomblets dont detonate on impact. Because now there is just live munitions laying around which result in collateral damage at a later time

From what I’ve seen (admittedly completely online anecdotes), the ICE agents flee before the local pd show up because theyre cowards

Being impeached doesnt inherently carry consequences.

If you think of it like a trial, the house delivers the guilty verdict (impeachment), and the senate determines the sentencing. The senate basically said, “yea so what? No consequences”

If the senate would do their job too, impeachment would mean something

This was always my biggest struggle growing up in a catholic house. “He sacrificed himself to save everyone who came before and will come after.”

Like, is that really that big of a deal? Shit if i was presented with the option of a much smaller number than infinity, idk say 1000, id sacrifice myself. AND i don’t know that I’m god or that my father is god and that ill be taken care of for all eternity.

In all reality, that numbers way less than 1000 for strangers, and if you include anyone i know/care about, that number could be as low as 1.

Exactly. Theyre not mutually exclusive. There is a lnown issue with working class people not being able to take time off on tuesdays to go vote. If elections were saturdays, maybe there would be a better turn out.

I feel like this argument doesnt hold as much water as it used to with how easy it is to vote by mail or use early voting. At least in the 3 locations ive been for the last presidential election
