There's way more tectonic plates than continents and a lot of landmasses we think of as contiguous are on different plates. Itd be very impractical to try to make them the same. Iceland would be a transcontinental country, California would be its own continent, Asia would be several continents, there would be continents that are just patches of the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean, and so on

the names and boundaries of continents are arbitrary and don't matter. that said, the most common definition, really more of a vibe, of a continent is size. Europe is 3 times larger than India. It's twice as large as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and Afghanistan combined.

Apparently this lady is from Texas, so it's not an affectation

Since when is y'all and nothing else AAVE? How do you think they addressed the crowd at Klan rallies?

Gretchen Whitmer is probably the most likeable, somewhat recognizable person they could run. She's still a centrist, but had some halfway decent policies as governor. I imagine the DNC would see her see as a compromise with the "progressive" wing, bullshit as that may be. That could be exactly what stops them from picking her, though. Also she's a woman. On the other hand, there was the whole kidnapping plot which if they were smart, they could really milk as proof of Trump being a threat to democracy, their favorite talking point. I think she's the high profile dem who would be perceived most favorably next to Trump. Shes also from the Midwest, which has all the key swing states they need to win, including her own. Gavin Newsom, the runner up, has name recognition, but he also has sleazy used car salesman vibes. Kamala would eat shit

That line is like the only great part of St. Anger

The corniness rocks actually

True crime as a genre is enough to explain this one

It does win capital's vote. That's not just more than enough, it's preferable. Democracy is wonderful!

Bailey's isn't a liquor, it's a liqueur.

Wow, Russia is so much like 1984 that they found an exact copy of that exact book, with no changes, omissions, or alterations, available in Russia for free. This is exactly like what happens in 1984, which we've all read, clearly. Their totalitarian lack of editing knows no bounds.
