007/James Bond should just be a codename; like a John Doe. Then you can do a Doctor Who situation with the role and give yourself much greater flexibility.

Hell, it'd explain why he's been having different faces all these years AND averts a sliding timescale.

They'll fight even that too. I fear the only way we'll get the general populace to support ecologically friendly choices is not with the ballot box but with the [REDACTED].

Low Ploygonamy.

So this is... this is just a race to the bottom isn't it?

Both guys pulling out pistols and shooting their own various body parts and seeing which one dies first. If they go through with ending SNAP the GOP will definitely be in the lead by a wide fucking margin.

Buy them all Steam Decks, gives them something else to do.

There isn't anything straight about that image.

Oh wait, you mean in terms of cards...

Or sometimes this happens:

Like half the heroes in Greek Myth have their origin story start with "So Zeus was cheating on his wife again..."
The fact that Zeus is still somehow married is a testament to the shit women had to put up with.

My whole thinking is just that not voting felt kinda like surrender. But on the other hand we have an entire caucus of people who just love to surrender so... I don't know anymore.

My only thought is to primary. Because if Mamdani proved anything it's that the party old guard can be dethroned.

It doesn’t??

I spent my entire life being taught that foreplay is the thing you do before getting to “the deed” and sex is the actual act of achieving orgasm.

Then what is it when you spend the entire time engaging in kink but not actually getting, ya know, the stuff going in holes or the jerking off?

I'm not being pedantic, I'm an asexual virgin, I legitimately don't know.

Porn video that is all foreplay but no sex.

I managed to get through Schiff's Fresno line but that was a few hours ago.

Yeah, I don't have the courage to do that shit.

Girl, what did you do? My notifications blew tf up from all the replies.

I did call them (CA) right after writing that out. I think just putting that out in the ether gave me courage to do it. It's just an anxiety feedback loop I was stuck in. Anxiety > inaction > shame > repeat.

I actually called my senators (CA) and left messages right after I wrote that.

But you're right. It is a white person issue and I do feel shame about my anxiety over just making two small phone calls. Which ironically feeds into my anxiety about it.

Feedback loop from hell of my own making.

My big fear with calling my senators is that I live on the same property as my parents, who are staunchly MAGA, and I'm afraid they'll find out through mailers or something and give me shit.
