Just by sheer chance we are always exactly one vote short of doing good stuff, and one vote over the line to do bad stuff.

You can talk without expectations. You can talk for comfort and connection. Sometimes you just need to unload and unburden and that is what is helpful.

I sometimes wonder if one of the reasons it is hard for adults to talk to each other and make friends is because they feel like if they talk about issues or concerns, there will be some expectation to "fix" it or find a solution. When really you can just talk without having to solve anything.

🚨🚨 Just in: Katie Wilson has expanded her lead in the Seattle mayor race. She is now leading by 1,976 votes, which means that the race is no longer in automatic recount territory.

Me, an adult who can afford video games: i will happily pay extra money to get games like those I had on the ps1 Big Game studio execs: use AI to create the shittiest and most hideous garbage imaginable that is full of bugs for nobody 👎⛔️🚫 Kitfox games: The babies worship unknown gods 👍👌

is that good do you think that means theyre too good to show

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

Now THAT'S a patch note! The game is called Ostranauts, and I like it.

I personally believe our elected officials should be even older

The PPB is still the largest line item in the city - Portland has many more important things to address. We don’t need more police and it’s gross to steal from our future generations to soothe the feelings of reactionaries that have no solutions that don’t involve a gun.

CORRECTING earlier post Seattle Mayor’s Race: Wilson now leads Harrell by 1,346 votes. STILL within the mandatory recount range - barely

literally every single time someone with a beating heart comes out of one of these places they are shook for life and share fresh new horrors but generally confirming what everyone already knows was probably going on in there and you still can’t get it on national television

Sorry I stopped interacting with your account, in my dream you were in league with The Eternal Worm

Coyle you fucked up!

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

"Rhythm is a Dancer" (SNAP! 1990) is what The Matrix was about

"I feel Evil in this Hell tonight" me about to get chased out by mall security

I came to accept that I have the yapper gene which is tricky because half my family simply do not answer their phones regardless of who is calling or what they RR doing

wisdom is realizing that it's called the Four Doorus because it has four doors.

The dems caved because they didn't want to get yelled at when nobody had money for Black Friday sales. Feel free to discuss this theory on your own or with a loved one.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

Sen. Lucy Football (D-NH)

While on the meta-discursive discussion it has always been silly for people on here, Twitter, in DC etcetera to pretend that there is such a thing as disarmament before the peace talks on fundamental points.

pockets picked

When Schumer retires, every piece of beneficial legislation he's killed for personal advantage will fly out like when you beat solitaire

I went to the store, are things better or worse

Just when you thought the Dems were well and truly cooked, they managed to find still one more way to sell out their voters in exchange for absolutely nothing
