Where's your trigger discipline, Malcolm?
Didn't like it. Didn't hate it.
It was basically unremarkable in every way. Not bad, but not good either. Like much of Netflix's fare, it's basically average right across the board.
Hey I used to be one of those conservatives.
In a previous thread a while back I got curb-stomped for daring to suggest that there were conservatives that weren't "republicans"; that there were in fact conservatives who maybe don't believe in things like gay marriage, etc..., who go to church, wait for marriage, and all that; But who ALSO don't actually give two shits about what other people do with their lives and don't really want to push their beliefs around. They just want to live their lives and let everyone else live there.
My suggestion that these people exist and that it's likely that these people don't vote was met with being told that ALL conservatives are bad regardless of whether they register as republicans or not.
I live in an area of Canada that is surrounded by exactly those type of people. They aren't liberal minded, they don't believe in a lot of those things, but when asked if they should force those beliefs on others through government action they'd all say fuck no. Live and let live.
But apparently I'm naive (according to that other thread)
I wouldn't say sexy. But I'll say this about Kelly;
Mark Kelly is the embodiment of everything that Conservative America thinks it stands for. When white christian families tuck their kids into the bed at night and tell them about people they should be looking up to and idolizing, it's Kelly. War Hero, Fighter Pilot, Astronaut from a family of cops.
The twist that he's a democrat and believes in everything they in reality hate will break MAGA's fucking brain, and (I think) bring in a lot of what I can "non-republican conservatives"; ie, people who are among the 40% of Americans who don't vote because, while they live a christian-conservative lifestyle, they don't necessarily believe in the Republican bullshit.
Hard to pin a number on it, percentage-wise.
- Desktop and laptop are both running Linux.
- Chromebook wiped and running Linux.
- Most software, but definitely not all. Steam, Resolve being the two biggest non-foss items on my desktop, while my ex-Chromebook has a proprietary screenwriting program, as well as OnlyOffice instead of LibreOffice because I need much better Excel compatibility for work and LO still isn't quite there for it.
- Phone android. But not entirely de-googled. Replaced drive with syncthing, keep with Joplin, photos, phone, and messenger with their Fossify equivalents and disabled the originals. Replaced gboard with heliboard, etc...
But can't/won't completely replace the OS yet because both google pay and android auto are essential to me and getting them working on most replacements is still a royal pain in the butt.
So let's call it 80%, maybe a bit more?
Kelly-Harris or Harris-Kelly.
Either one of those combinations stomps Trump into the pavement.
I'm not even an American and I would be so psyched by a Mark Kelly run for president.
Then all we would need would be to get Chris Hatfield as or PM up here and it would be an intelligent astronaut super hemisphere.
Oh believe me, I know. I agree.
but the argument nowadays is that common usage dictates that both are now "acceptable", similar to how apparently "literally" now effectively means "figuratively" because everyone uses it.
Ha! How much time have you got?
Shallow and pedantic is my speciality.
But for the sake of brevity I'll simply say that hearing (or reading) less in cases where fewer would be more appropriate is like driving an ice pick into my brain.
Yes...both are technically correct, but I have to fight the urge to be that guy whenever I hear it.
Wait...was Lou Dobbs nothing more than a long running satirical performance piece by Bob Newhart?
I don't believe in coincidences...
/s obviously.
What's the over/under on any of those people knowing the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim?
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
