This could tactically work for them

Lol, it absolutely will not. Republicans are republicans, first and foremost. They are voting republican because republicans are their sports team. It does not matter what the policies espoused by democrats are, they are democrats, and thus verboten for republicans.

Do you not remember the hilarious interviews where democratic (maybe obama specifically, depends on the video) policies were pitched to republicans, and they agreed with them up until the reveal that the policy was from the 'wrong side' of the political aisle?

I remember before I stopped drinking I loved collecting the extravagant liquor bottles. I must have had a dozen of the old kahlua ones that were all dimpled and ridged, and the cool but terrible tasting tequila skulls.

Okay, now that one's petty. Mostly because I like when either of those things happens. If it sticks to the bottle it's like having one of those skinny bottle top rubber thingies to hold it on, and if the edges are sharp and pokey I get to feel them on my lips.

I don't think the Cage likes being referred to so blandly...

The idea is stupid, sure, but it's not like it's any more sexual harassment than posting pictures of a pig's ass repeatedly. Hexbear users (many of whom I quite like) should be used to it.

I'm pulling numbers from the vagaries of books and articles read years ago, so accuracy probably isn't great on that.

From the wikipedia page, it looks like there's a fair bit of controversy about what polling really means, what it's collecting, and whether it's worth anything at all, but estimates for splits on the political divide definitely and routinely place more people on the liberal side than conservative, at ratios as incredible [in a 'whoah, really' way more than me caring, just because it seems like we have a 1:1:1 split of Dem/Rep/don't-give-a-fuck in voting numbers) as 28:1 in some places (New England, apparently).

Um... forgive me, but isn't the verbiage "throw a 90kg projectile 300 metres" pretty against the idea of throwing a 400-600kg projectile a similar distance?

It's double-speak, right here 41 years later for your aural pleasure.

because if we’re going to do anything good as a species, it will be making sure our dogs outlive us

So, funny thing about this, is it's not at all true. I have a friend who is a vet, and he quite succinctly clarified with some good journal articles that the real issue with dogs' short lives is we just don't care. If we had been breeding for longer lives at any point, they would have no issue with living for decades longer than their current spans. It's never been a priority (and might even be a poor business decision) for breeders to focus on longevity. Even health is only a passing concern for their 'working' period.

Maybe humanity will become better. Someday.

2 people trying to stab you, not greater than 1

From the Hollywoo rule of attackering protagonists, more attackers mean more ways to foil them by misdirection and mutual banging each other, therefore 2>1.

I bet that's a pretty good insecticide.

I was surprised to hear neopets is still a thing. A friend went and checked it on a whim.
