They're the same conspiracy

Well, at least you've quit pretending *not* to be deflecting. But let me be clear: I think what she did was horrendously shitty regardless of who she does it to. Same as I did when Amanda Palmer used to do it.

I'm not deflecting shit, "willfully inciting a bad-faith dogpile on someone for the sake of drawing attention to her fundraiser is *gross*" is my entire core criticism and the topic at hand. If you aren't prepared to discuss, then don't waste my damn time.

The principally are, but plenty of them will supplement that diet by snacking on the occasional stray bug.

Yes.

Point me to where he has explicitly done it for the sake of fundraising for his own personal initiative.

I agree! But plenty of other people found it saccharine enough to cause adult onset diabetes.

LMAO

The show ended very conclusively!

I'm more forgiving about the latter seasons of the show than a lot of people, but yeah, the season four trailer for TED LASSO is giving big "no other opportunities have come up and we really need paychecks" vibes.

I can, and now that I have, I might actually have nightmares about it. And D.A.R.E.? There'd have been flamewars for *years*.

Social media would have been unbearable during the anti-smoking campaigns in the 1980s & 90s.

I also think that her whole "what if we didn't suck?" campaign platform might not have been the best idea when it comes to winning over actual Democratic voters, many of whom are proudly long-time supporters and do not accept that precondition as a given. It's more than a little insulting.

Based on how she's acted since losing, I *strongly* suspect she would have been a Sinema 2.0 and spent all of her time in the chamber acting like an influencer trying to build her own brand vs. actually legislating.

I'm going on a multi-week overseas trip in about five weeks and the battery in my current phone has more or less decided to take a shit & die this month. Not really an expense that was factored into my travel plans.

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DID

Yup.

Also I do not like how little time now exists between a post taking off, and the bad-faith idiots turning up looking to start some shit.

Her street-level activism has been laudable and it seems clear to me that's where she should have been focusing her energy from the beginning.

I lived there 2001-2006, but at the time out-of-state fees were all *obnoxiously* high. Since I was in school, I wound up keeping my car registered in California just because the cost to change it to LA state registry was waaaaaaaaaayy more out of pocket than I could afford.
