You are very good at typing not-particularly-true-things that divide those who should be opposed to the current regime. Also using vague language where you’re talking about a tiny fraction of the population but you make it sound so much grander while retaining deniability. Does the GOP pay you, or do you do it for love of the game?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but shouldn’t something generating the heat of several atom bombs be utilized as a heat source for making energy, instead of energy used to cool it?
Why is the butt plug room so small? Are we even serious about fighting fascism?
Brutal self own for Lemmy
I had a similar thought about Bill Clinton’s dick back when we learned that Trump sucked him off. I know Bubba was POTUS, but people seemed to be lining up to blow him. His penis must be immaculate, whatever that means.
Because outlawing vaccines can’t bring you a mojito by the pool? Also, while that’s a bold plan to eradicate the poors, all of human history up until vaccines were created suggests it might not work.
Cool sarcasm, but again, the ACA further enshrines our broken system and makes universal coverage even less likely to happen. They could have greatly expanded Medicare & Medicaid coverage, but instead went with the Heritage Foundation plan. The Obama/3rd Way practice of pre-compromising is a big part of how we got to where we are now. Where can the right wing party go when the “left wing” party is pushing right wing policies?
This seems less “bOtH sIdEs” and more of a call to reform the DNC, an organization that doesn’t even pretend to promise progressive policies as OP suggests so much as it actively fights against progressive candidates. Also, several of the wins you listed are not so great. The ACA is a Heritage Foundation plan that delays the USA joining the civilized world with universal coverage. The CHIPS act sounds good in principle except it’s corporate welfare that hyper inflated the AI bubble.
There are systemic barriers to a 3rd (or 4th etc) party. No amount of campaigning or organizing will make them viable without systemic change. Attempting to push 3rd parties at the ballot box will, hilariously (in a sad way), benefit the party you least align with.
The Gang of Pedos has never let something as trivial as evidence guide their world view. Also not big fans of consent.
In the 1930s the Labor force participation rate was almost 20% higher (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/wb/data/lfp/US-Workforce-Since-1920). Then you factor in the underemployment and gig work you mentioned as well as how inflation has been a lie since the 1990s, and I’m not sure things sucked “MUCH” harder in economic terms. We do have better toys thanks to 80 years of NSF and other government funded science, but we’re ending that now too.
Facebook will announce some new feature, spin up a few million more bots, and have a glowing report for the investors next month.
Did Bernie read my Terminator fanfic? The one where the 1% are living it up on some islands with T800 butlers while the Terminators clear out the rest of humanity?
In Jon’s defense, Reddit was fairly good and useful (unlike Twitter or FB) at one point many years ago. If you’re not active there it would be easy to think things are still good.
I would be more suspicious of starting the year at 3.5% and dipping to 2.23% in Feb. If we ignore that oddity it makes for a less exciting headline, but jumping from 3.5% to 5.33% in the months after Microslop canned Win10 and slopped up Win11 tracks.
I hope you are correct. If we extrapolate out, Linux could easily approach 10% as more people leave Win10 and split. There may even be a positive feedback loop where people leaving Win10 (and frustrated Win11 users) see that Linux is completely viable for gaming.
Too long. Term should be # of justices on SCOTUS. Currently 9, who should NOT be grandfathered in life time appointment. Instead, cycle them out based on tenure each year from when the bill is passed. Also, any SCOTUS appointee should either be selected by or have the endorsement of a majority of the federal circuits.
