As a mechanical engineer it was horrifically saddening when I got a chance to talk with the smartest, highest achieving engineer in our cohort, ask him where he wanted to go when he graduated and he shrugged and said "I dunno, Raytheon or Boeing? Whatever pays the most haha."

Giving this energy.

It would be a joke to build Stonehenge today if there was any incentive. Quarrying stone is easy, you just have to use a crane, pop it on a flatbed and drive it to the location.

It might cost millions but more than the equivalent amount of man power was used to build it back in the day

It's an absolutely insane test of my faith in humanity. It just takes like 10 more words to get AI to make a sign that's at least a little different from the slop. But they won't even do that. It's like they're spitting in their own face with the disrespect they show to their own businesses or whatever they're advertising. It's nuts.

This isn't really a response to my post...

I never said there weren't Democrats that are anti-trans. I said on election day one of the two candidates are going to win.

Edit: I suppose my one like could have been clearer. I did not mean both candidates would support any of the exact same anti-trans policies. They would have to support all of the exact same anti-trans policies. The way I worded it was vague I'll admit.

You vote for the lesser of two evils because one of the two will win no matter what you do, there's no third option that you can take -to VERY clear- on election day.

If they both want the exact same anti-trans policies (unlikely, I'm not even sure what race that might be) you can find some of the other important policies that differentiate them.

Then you fight like hell to have better options next time in the other 364 days of the year (usually 2 or more years in between). Or if you don't think democracy works do whatever it is you want to do to get your way and, unironically, godspeed.

I think the most sickening line people pull is that voting like this for a candidate is some sort of moral reflection of you. It is literally taking elections more seriously than the voters they pretend to be above. It's just 20 minutes of a random day to try and get fewer bad results than the alternative.

In a way? But also it's fine. Boardgames are a piece of media so not being a fan of the whole thing hits the same as "not being a fan of books" or "not being a fan of anime". Like, sure, your choices don't affect me, but you can see how it makes sense that its usually met with "you just haven't tried the right one."

Board games are a little unique as well because sometimes the problem is that you aren't in the right group to play them which is a whole other thing.

Right back atcha, homeslice.

Ah yes, eugenics, the solution to slavery.

dead in a gutter with a heroin needle stuck in your arm.

LMAO still no name in text.

Maybe, but people will post stuff about not voting and then also not do 2+ years of street action. So by your logic we should also be cynical about non-voting.

In fact, more people don't vote than vote, or especially that vote for the person that would do the least amount of harm, so again by your logic it's even more on the shoulders of non-voters to change something.
