They already got the playbook from nuking Bernie’s campaigns. Here’s hoping NYC shows we’re actually capable of learning from the past

Sexual predators have to support one another, you know

They’ll just use it as an excuse to bomb Iran some more

Worse? Maybe. Likely to throw out the amendment that restricts a third term? Almost certainly not. I’m more worried about Trump appointing himself as king than I am three and a half years of Vance. Plus he won’t be able to maintain the psychotic cult that Trump’s got going on right now.

Serious question- what do you recommend as the best way to resist fascism?

No worries, I already read it from their Signal chat

Followed up by “Good thing I voted for the guy who will deport me.” He’s about to lose medicaid too, but my Hispanic grandpa will learn nothing from this.

They really don’t seem to be bothered by it

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of vegans suddenly cried out in terror

She looks like a melted gelfling

Let’s not get tied up in semantics but the idea that you can’t “accidentally” shoot someone is nonsense. Whether you call it negligence or not, if it’s not on purpose, then it’s an accident.

I’ll run. Vote for me.

And if normal people suddenly became billionaires, they’d act just as awful as the current billionaires

You’re right, my previous comment doesn’t quite follow the wholesome theme here.

Many commenters are under the impression that the train is leaving the station solely to pick up this student, drop her off at school, and then travel back to the station. That would make sense if it was a taxi of some sort and she was the only passenger. However, trains in Japan have long routes, multiple stops, and pick up many, many passengers along the way. Keeping this stop for this student might add a few minutes to the total time it takes the train to run its full route but in no way is it a dramatic waste of resources and time that some people here are claiming. I’ve ridden on trains in Japan with hundreds of passengers that traveled hundreds of miles. Sometimes a train would make a stop in a rural area to pick up a few folks and other times we’d stop in a major city and pick up dozens of people. If one of those rural stops were nixed, I (as an existing passenger on the train) would barely notice a difference (maybe save a few minutes on my route), but I would bet the few folks who depend on that stop would be severely inconvenienced and struggle to find alternative means of transportation.

Gotta love that projection

Same reason they have 12 police officers in riot gear walking along side Luigi. To make Greta appear to be a greater threat than she actually is.

I can’t remember the exact quote from Herman Hesse but it’s something like, “A person cannot conceive a quality in another that they don’t also have within themselves.” The reason so many people question Greta’s motives is because they are inherently selfish and Greta’s altruism is impossible for them to understand. The only reason they’d do anything that appears to be heroic is for their own ego or self serving means.

ITT: people who have no clue how a train route works

Obviously the train goes to multiple stops on its route. For there to be one more stop is not the equivalent of a personal train sent only for her and no one else.

How very ableist of you.
