Given the quality of this timeline I expect something superficially exciting will happen, and then President Vance will call for a time of unification and healing, and of respect for the separation of powers. After ending the war he disbands ICE and starts rolling back some of the most bigoted trump shit while keeping his "race: political" wife front and center. He does all that opportunistic shit to build his wholesome public image, and it works with many people who barely pay attention or just want things to look normal.

And then in the background the transfer of wealth continues to accelerate in the wrong direction while the surveillance state grows unchecked and the Supreme Court helps it along as planned.

The OG conservative undiagnosed-something parent.

Jeez. Forget going mask-off. This asshole just did the equivalent of walking in the room naked.

I'm human and I enjoy these stories of pettiness just like anybody else.

But if I may please speak in my "old man who has seen things" capacity for a moment, this is not the way to live. You should endeavor to do positive things every day to make life better for people around you as well as yourself. And you don't do this because it gets you praise or rewards, you do it because of the internal rewards. It's good for your mind.

My son just started third grade. It is actually super easy to answer questions like this if you're a kind person who allows others to keep their humanity if they are different, and if you actually cultivate a relationship with your child.

Explaining how two women parent a child? Wow, that must be tough my snoop guy. Better to just hide from the public like a little bitch, as you might say.

I mean, I've had to address things like the topic of death because of a grandparent dying young and a future sibling ending in a miscarriage. And the original due date recently passed too. oof.

But thank fucking god that in my family's weakened state, none of us were assaulted by the vile image of two women holding hands and kissing a baby on the head at the same time.

Check this out though Dogg: if you were sent back 50 years in time with white skin and no memory, within a week you'd be fighting to bring back segregation. Cunt.

Yooo, Democratic Senators, fuck youuuu!

Signed, an independent US citizen who has repeatedly voted for your shitty controlled opposition candidates because it was glaringly obvious to me SEVERAL YEARS AGO that anything Trump brings to the table is significantly worse for humanity than your bland business as usual.

Like, Trump was so, so bad that in retrospect it makes more sense that HE was the controlled opposition so that status quo capitalist corporate democrats could win their elections and keep the people “happy enough” while letting the elites play their games.

But no. Now he is much worse, mask-off, nominating unqualified morons and traitors to help administrate the federal government, and you fuckups in the “at least we aren’t an openly bigoted death cult” party did not stop it in cases where you could have.

Jesus fucking Christ. I don’t know where to start.

Powerful oxidizers are dangerous stuff!

One I’ve learned about recently (and used) is potassium permanganate. One of its uses is for improving water quality in fish ponds. It oxidizes basically all organic matter. It can simultaneously knock out algae, bacteria, parasites, hormones, and other excess organic waste. And the pathogens it kills can’t build up resistance to it like they would an antibiotic or poison, so it can be used preventively without creating stronger bugs. You can’t really build resistance to BURNING outside video games.

But that also means that if you add too much, you can just as easily sterilize all life in a body of water, including fish and anything else you want to keep.

AND it means you need to be careful when handling it. If you burn your eyes or your lungs, it makes them stop working!

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

That answer is like the electronics version of the image with Patrick Stewart and the caption:

“Use the force, Harry

That’s correct. It’s just a normal weekday.

Oh no, a crazy world event made people start caring about themselves rather than being the most efficient resource for you, their benevolent employer. Won’t somebody think of the CEO and shareholders?
