youtubers, streamers, podcasters, etc are always on this beat bc they don't know how anything works & know that if they say something like this, their audiences will lap it up now & also 3 years later when they point to total gay commie revolution not happening and go "see? i was right!"
ok but i've lived through like, idk, three instances of this exact thing now?
her post simplifies some of the mechanics of it, i guess, but the simple reality is that almost no one is even talking about the kinds of transformation required to actually repair or replace the systems dragging us down

just quietly sitting whispering into the ear of all the disaffected khive people "you know what would really own the left? if you voted republican"
its like a bit we'd do at their expense played mercilessly straight
I've never voted Republican in a federal office race, but that ends this year in the only one on my Wisconsin ballot.
Going forward, voting GOP will be my default, and only the Democrat in each race checking *all* of my boxes will prevent a default GOP vote.
I got the idea from Uncommitted 😏
Italian will have a small amount of pasta , will not add cheese. After dinner go for a walk
American will have 2 big potions. Loaded with cheese, go sit on the couch watch TV, drink coke and fill up on snacks. Italians take siesta where they nap mid day. The city closes down
Pretty surreal how sharing a traumatic story about my daughter's birth elicited someone to call it "insane bullshit". I was just trying to contextualize why people are right to call our healthcare system dogshit, and also why you don't have to be an asshole if you disagree.
I'd suggest sneering "insane bullshit" at someone for feeling stressed out about having to handle hours on the phone over a half million dollar bill after dealing with a birth and NICU stay is why people can't stand you

We've probably got two solid years worth of complete dogshit entertainment coming thanks to spineless media execs overindexing on phony resurgence of reactionary cultural demand
operator: 911, please state the nature of your emergency
me: hey. why was liberty biberty beheaded
operator: he constructed the forbidden fractal

it having been twenty five years since Democrats had to be aware of Florida politics is -generally- a good thing, but self-proclaimed Politics Knowers asking "why come florida cuban=white supremacist???" is up there with asking where all these neo-nazis in Eastern Europe came from
How can Latino, Cuban-American Marco Rubio be so into this fascist racial purity stuff, even to the point of lecturing Europeans that their main security threat isn’t Russia, it’s the population becoming less white?
Apparently because he’s not a son of Cubans, he’s a great grandson of Spaniards.
I am genuinely curious: if you are YIMBY or aligned/curious, how do you rationalise this? Do you see data centres as part of the general philosophy of welcoming large-scale developments eagerly?
It seems like a moment where a movement based around encouraging local development has to distinguish..
Several theoreticians hold that the suit of armor was actually what made Europe gay, but the important debate on this subject has been repeatedly stifled by the tyrannical moderators of r/longislandgaming
in a country where they are trying to make it illegal to protest i say: good. go nuts. let your freak flag fly. ive never understood liberal pearl clutching over what is quite literally the baseline civil liberty. politicians should be hectored 24/7

bluesky is so good. It put ai slop in my "popular with friends" feed so i checked who among you was the tacky idiot
