jd vance has made one positive contribution to this world. he has confirmed my lifelong suspicion that you don't have to be intelligent, clever, or even equipped with basic critical thinking skills to graduate from yale law

Happy birf

Also do you still consider the as America your favorite ocean liner and if so what makes it your favorite

Hehe I sat on this ask way too long ૮ ˶ˆﻌˆ˶ ა

So, yes, the SS America is still my favorite. The biggest reason is her career. Generally for me, the single most important factor in how much I like any given liner is her story. Most Ocean Liners last 25 to 30 years at most. America had a career spanning nearly 50 years. She had many owners and many names, many paint schemes, many configurations, and many purposes. She's been an Ocean Liner, a World War 2 Troop Transport, an immigrant carrier, a cruise ship, and she nearly became a prison ship and a floating hotel. I'd HIGHLY reccomend the documentary about her by Oceanliner Designs. It's genuinely my favorite video on YouTube. The end nearly had me in tears and I'm not joking.

The second reason I love her so much is her exterior design. While I think her younger Runningmate, the SS United States, is a bit better looking, I still think the America is just eye achingly beautiful. Here are some of my favorite pics of her ^ω^

Her interiors are also cool, but not many photos have survived up to this point unfortunately...

trump runningmate announcement today, if it's jd vance im gonna lose my shit

[takami-takami]

Kamala anon here. I don't think your response was bad or anything. My thoughts were also jumbled. Yeah, I think I mischaracterized you about Harris, so apologies for that. I shouldve said the democratic party instead of her, which is where my actual frustration is. Shouldve went with that instead of getting caught up in my feelings and demanding you explain your stance on Kamala unprompted 🎤

I'm just confused and angry about how people are treating both her and the democratic party. Like a while back you mentioned how infuriating it was for no Palestinians to be at the DNC, and how disrespectful it was to have someone talk about the October 7 attack. I completely agree that it was awful, but you (and a TON of other people) seemed surprised by it. And I guess that's what I wanted to ask about: why? Why are people surprised that the DNC is pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian genocide?? There will NEVER be a Palestinian protestor at the DNC. They're NEVER going to do an arms embargo. There will NEVER be a ceasefire demanded by the US. Why would they? The US relies on Israel's existence for its hold on the MENA region. If Israel ceased to exist as a settler colony, the US would lose so many resources and power it would become more vulnerable and less of the superpower it currently is. The US cannot exist as it is without Israel. That's why Democrats are pro-genocide. They're not neutral about it, they aren't avoidant of the issue, they actively support it, just as much as the Republicans do. That's how it's possible for someone like Dick Cheney to endorse a Democrat. That's how it's possible for Democrats to openly laugh at and mock protestors listing the names of dead Palestinians ON VIDEO.

I'm not aware of any times when a president or presidential candidate was "pushed left" by their constituents, at least with regard to foreign policy. If there are I'd love to know about them, or find resources about them, but as it is I straight up don't believe Harris and the party will ever be pushed left. Even if their words change and become nicer to hear, they won't do a damn thing for Palestine. It is not in their financial or political interests to do so. Their wallets come before their supporters, every time.

I'm just angry and have no one whose left wing to talk about it with. Ugh!!!!!!! The whole thing makes me feel hopeless.

I think you are mistaking my disgust for surprise.

As far as having no one left wing to talk about with, please join your local DSA. It will also help with the hopeless feeling. I'm hearing a lot of frustration. Keep a close eye on policies and elections, but don't forget to water your backyard first, okay?

Again, I do still think this is bad faith nonnie. I wasn't surprised. I was disgusted because I was following the uncommitted movement at the DNC and the protests and appeals.

"Pushing the party left" doesn't work for a lot of things, especially fundamental overhaul and foreign policy. But the only reason Tim Walz is the nominee runningmate and not Josh Shapiro is because of the Palestine protests. But even so, that is platitudes in the grand scheme of things.

100,000 people showing up and voting uncommitted in Michigan got news attention, got eyes on Palestine. So do the protests.

The democratic party will move left in certain things, like social safety nets, economic policies, etc. The goal is for them to get the minimum amount of votes necessary to be reelected while giving their donors maximum satisfaction. As such, pushing for progressive policies will at least get your elderly neighbor to not die after being booted from medicare. It's US-centric, but regardless, inaction is not a form of protest. You have to actually organize.

Please look into your local DSA! I genuinely think it will help. Also, googling your closest big city + "Palestine protest" will get you local protests you can join. You will meet likeminded folks there, too, especially since a lot of them are organized by socialist groups.

Picking JD Vance as his runningmate is one of the worst decisions Donald Trump has ever made - and that’s saying A LOT!!!

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has seen her chances of becoming Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate fall dramatically after reports of her shooting her “untrainable” dog emerged, according to an online prediction market. Polymarket, a platform where users can place “yes” or “no” bets on the likelihood of world events, is currently giving Noem a […]

dra charactrs but pokemon types! Except I might change my mind later also full of typos

Yuki - well obviously normal. But I might also give utsuro a psychic type so normal primary and psychic secondary

Tsurugi - fighting type because policemen fight things. Idk

Mikako -dark psychic because dark is good against ghost types and she's an exorcist. and psychic bc of the brain thing with Yamato idk I didn't get to that point yet I'm not a thousand percent certain what's going on. maybe steel. isn't it a brain chip. Idk psychic makes more sense to me. Maybe before she had the Brian thing she was a dark normal type but then she gained the psychic typing after the brain thing. When did she get it.

Yamato - electrocl psychic! Electorc because imventor. duh. psychic because brain thing. I think he had that. Before the rbian thing I think he'd electric steel tho

Mitch - fighting fire. Fighting because that's vaguely like soccer. Fire because haha :)

Maki - ithink she'd be fighting type because guns I'm also tempted to give her normal type but I have a lot of other normal types tbh

Haruhiko - well obviously flying but also I think he'd be normal type. Idk just those vibes. Flying normal

Teruya - pure normal typing. He's a normal guy

Satsuki - I don't fucling know!!!! Maybe fairy? Yeh no actually she's a fairy type bc fairy types are typically associated with good things and she is a good thing

Kizuna - definitely fairy because she always vrinr good luck to those who she cheers for that'd a good thing.

Ayame - flying because fast and fighting because runningm we have several fighting types too sorry

Akane - hmmmmm maybe psychic dark? because her thing eih utsuro. either psychic dark or normal

Kinji - I think he'd be psychic type I'm sorry we have a lot of psychic types alreafydyxbxbb but psychic because priest. Yeah

Rei - psychic fire. psychic because smart. Fire because personality. Also Im probably wrong but I don't think there's a psychic fore type already?

Okay sorry if I missed someone but my phone's gonna die so I have to stop here I'll probably also do sdra2 and other fangans I like

[ajani]

Literally forgot that Mitt Romney wasn't the runningmate in that election.

[eileennatural]

i actually think it was a really good move for kamala's campaign angle to switch from treating trump as an "existential threat to democracy" to "trump and vance are quite weird, no?" bc democrats have been harping on the existential threat thing for so long w/o actually doing anything about it i think people are tired of hearing it. but like. you can just listen to trump and vance speak for five minutes and think. ohhh yeah they are not normal

[your-resident-boat-person]

this isn't an ask but the luggage my great granddad took on the SS America still has one of the tags on it and you seem like the sort of person who would find that neat

As in this SS America? Launched August 31, 1939? That is VERY cool. While I think I prefer her younger runningmate SS United States, the SS America had an incredible story over the course of her career. She was also designed by William Francis Gibbs, one of my favorite people in ocean liner history. He designed the safest, strongest, and fastest ships around. I would recommend the videos by Big Old Boats and Oceanliner Designs. Here are the links.

My sister's answer to my concerns was the pinpoint my comment about campaign funds not getting passed on to amyone other than the runningmate of someone who steps down, which qas to tell me that technically theres no need for funds. So my response was: but campaigning costs money and outreach like pamphlets and ads and stuff to inform voters does too

And Idk about kamala's chances but she's already on the ticket so she eould be able to keep the campaign funds, but she's a woman and a person of color and she was a DA/'cop-adjacent' (to some peoples views, this was brought up in 2020 when she was his vp pick!) and biden-adjacent/ 'too centrist' still for some dems...same kind of bs aimed at Hillary plus stuff aimed at Obama plus stuff aimed at kamala herself last time plus some of the reasons ppl didn't like biden. There is no perfect candidate and that's fine, personally I like kamala so I do hope she accepts since Biden endorsed her, and she was part of the team I voted for in the primary so it feels OK (vs the dnc making that decision for us!).

and I'll vote blue no matter who of course. but I don't trust the media/journalists especially, and republicans, and really, i dont even trust other dem voters, to not be stupid as fuck about a woman of color running for pres especially now. I think she would make a good pres and could do it! But I worry. and something like this rocks the boat, it causes chaos really.
