    That seems pretty arbitrary

    0-2 would indicate negative, 0 being extremely bad and life changing and 2 pretty bad (worse than broken bones)

    3 which should be neutral is broken bones

    4-6 indicates success, but 4 seems to be just barely passing (e.g. landing it but with a fumble and falling) which doesnt seem to balance out a broken bone for 3 or something worse at 2

    All resigning does is give them a greater margin to win votes by. We have several chances to win a tie or majority in the house and senate

    Three house seats are up for special elections, two in florida and one in NY. If they all elect democrats, there will be a tie in the houde and any bill can be blocked.

    Senate votes can be held without all members present, so making sure all democrat congress members always show up and always vote gives a good chance of blocking some bills

    Also in 2026 will be the midterm and we can vote republican congressmembers out, as they only have a majority and not a supermajority.




  • They are a fairly small group compared to other marginalized groups, and particularly vulnerable compared to others. There is already a lot of misinformation about them. Average people often dont run into them or understand them Well enough to make informed decisions. Its easy for billionaires and republicans to wield religion against them. They are often vocal about their beliefs. Intersectionality is also important (e.g. supporting and protecting other minority demographics’ rights because it is the right thing to do, and tearing each other down is counterproductive) to them, which isnt always the case. Disappearing them sets an example and is a test run for setting up the infrastructure and means to take control. See: nazi germany with the deaf, and current marginalization by the trump administration of the trans and disabled communities.





  • Actually they should be connected in parallel. Because tungsten resistance increases with temperature, if one bulb starts out with a slightly higher resistance, it will get hotter faster and you will end up with inconsistent lighting or damaging that one bulbs (if not designed for operating at 120V nominal. 6 ideal bulbs in series would operate at 20V which would necessitate lower resistance and would explode at 120v). The higher temp and resistance would cause it to generate a higher than normal voltage drop/current/power, likely much more than the designed power, and the other bulbs may be much dimmer in comparison.

    Also if one bulb drops out / blows it will take out all 6. Either way the power (150W) would be the same.


  • Im pretty sure this is Love Quinn from the tv show “You.” She is like murder people to get what she wants crazy. I guess the expression is more of an “are you sure about that” or maybe something related to whatever scene this came out of idk, we in the same boat here

    Or maybe it was meant to be said with the expectation of a “no youre not” and shes upset because she takes it as him calling her crazy
