2 minutes agoI have yet to work a job where I didn’t have tons of down time. I still got paid more than minimum wage for all of them.

No. No you didn’t. I also didn’t ask you and I don’t want your opinion because I know what your opinion is already.
What makes you think any of them want to run for president when they didn’t even take part in the primaries?
Also, why do you assume Sanders would do it when asked? He’s 82. He’s a lot sharper than Biden, but he’s still 82. His energy is going to be limited. I would be very surprised if he even sought re-election to the Senate at this point. He probably wants to spend his last years with his grandkids in Vermont (or wherever they live), not arguing with people in D.C. And I’d say he deserves that happy end to his life rather than spend what may be his last four years dealing with a bunch of hostile bullshit.
Which ones and do they want to run?
I’m not sure why you think the need to work and pay bills isn’t a legitimate reason to not do other things. You have to eat to live and living is a lot harder without a home. Or with a home but without services like running water.
1·8 minutes agoI don’t even mind some turn-based RPGs. I mentioned Wasteland in another comment, which I loved. Wasteland was basically remade as Fallout 1. Fallout 1, 2 and the Wasteland games which now have their own sequels are all turn-based RPGs, but they give you so many more options than Pokemon and they are also about team building since you don’t play as a single character.
I guess Pokemon was just not the game for me. 🤷♂️
But that doesn’t reflect on the content of the story itself. Shouldn’t that be what really matters?
My uncle used to live there. I’ve never been, but I’m guessing the lack of much ever happening was why.
That’s insane!

This doesn’t sound like they love him as much as you think:
Got it. Thanks.
I was born in 1977. I had a Gameboy. I just never cared for Pokemon.
That’s not how minimum wage is supposed to work. It’s a minimum for a reason. It doesn’t matter how much work you actually do.
Better than what we have now. Unless you think the corporatist courts will even end up ruling in favor of the plaintiffs.
Then it’s weird that pretty much all the countries with high homicide rates, the U.S. included, tend to have legal guns and the ones with low homicide rates tend not to.

You would think there would be some sort of link.
I’m not sure why any of that justifies paying them less than an abled person would for doing the same job.
122·3 hours agoI dealt with that as a kid with Roald Dahl because he was super antisemitic, but he also wrote amazing children’s books. I guess for me it depends on how much they put such ugliness into their work. Lovecraft, creative as he was, had no problem being racist in his writings and I just can’t read them even though I love the mythos. Dahl didn’t do that.
Card and Rowling are somewhat different cases because they didn’t start by writing terrible things, but they got to the point that their ugly beliefs began to seep into their books.
Yes, but what about letting the perfect be the enemy of the good?!
I’m not worried about Republicans. I’m worried about the people below who have already decided “don’t vote for Harris” before she’s even nominated. No candidate will be good enough for them because no candidate could ever pass the purity test. It could be a Bernie Sanders/AOC ticket and they’d find a reason to say you shouldn’t vote for them.
