- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 2 days ago:
You say “everyone” but it’s still just other men.
- Comment on RIP America 3 days ago:
Critical support for Trump’s struggle against US cultural and scientific imperialism.
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 1 week ago:
People are organizing in their communities to patrol for ICE and respond to ICE raids, which is quite a bit like the Black Panthers “cop watch” and community patrols.
I know it’s not like when protesters burned down a police station in 2020, but things are happening.
- Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. 1 week ago:
Right, that’s the point of the “taxpayer” dog whistle. It trains people to think that poor people don’t pay taxes, and implies they’re lesser members of society because of it.
- Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. 1 week ago:
They certainly pay sales taxes, possibly property taxes too, they probably have to pay fines because the cops love to prey on the poor, and there’s also fees to use government services. That’s all taxes.
But there’s this concentrated attempt to denigrate people with lower income as useless eaters that don’t contribute to society, and so they don’t think any of that counts.
- Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. 1 week ago:
They don’t believe anyone under a certain income pays taxes. “Taxpayer” just means “upper income tax bracket” in their mind.
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 1 week ago:
It’s literally the least you can do, and doing the least possible is not good enough.
You don’t get to wash your hands because you voted for Kodos.
- Comment on How do you think early humans survived without water bottles? Did they just live next to water sources all the time? 2 weeks ago:
You ever notice how every other animal manages to survive without water bottles? It was like that for most of human existence, before we figured out water skins and wooden cups and clay jugs.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 weeks ago:
Revolution.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 2 weeks ago:
I don’t see why the apple from a cashew can’t also be classified as an aggregate accessory fruit, like the flesh of the strawberry, which would make the cashew pit an achene like the seeds of a strawberry.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 2 weeks ago:
Although “tree” is a common word, there is no universally recognised precise definition of what a tree is, either botanically or in common language.[1][2] In its broadest sense, a tree is any plant with the general form of an elongated stem, or trunk, which supports the photosynthetic leaves or branches at some distance above the ground.
Well damn, I guess strawberries can be trees and nuts.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 2 weeks ago:
Strawberries sure as hell aren’t nuts either but we’re playing pretty fast and loose with words and meanings.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 3 weeks ago:
Peanuts claim to be nuts, but they aren’t a legumtimate part of the family.
I dunno.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 3 weeks ago:
Like cashews!
I thought nuts had to come from trees, though.
- Comment on Mornings got me like... 3 weeks ago:
I puke if I have green or black tea on an empty stomach and I don’t like coffee.
I just have soup.
- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 3 weeks ago:
It’s the only reason.
If it was a liability concern, why are they intentionally poisoning the food? That would make them much more liable for someone becoming sickened.
- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 3 weeks ago:
This is what they tell the public.
In reality they just don’t want homeless people near their dumpsters.
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve hated Reddit since back when shitredditsays was in its hay day, and after they banned the Chapo subreddit I retreated to only really using a few local subreddits to keep track of local news.
When the exodus started two ish years ago I jumped on the bandwagon and haven’t logged back into Reddit ever since.
I call y’all reddit.world as a joke but you aren’t nearly as bad.
- Comment on Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along? 4 weeks ago:
No, actually, I quite like that the media circus might cause Musk’s companies to fail. It’s good when his investors are hurt.
- Comment on Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along? 4 weeks ago:
Unless Tesla gets bailed out I don’t expect it to survive much longer, consumers already don’t want his badly built and overpriced swastikars anymore, and this is yet another blow to the company. Musk leaving the government won’t save Tesla from itself.
It needs government money or it’s done.
- Comment on Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along? 4 weeks ago:
I’m not forgetting that he’s a shit talker, but you aren’t getting it - simply by saying this shit he has already harmed the companies by undermining investor confidence.
Trump directly attacked Musk’s companies and their investors, whether he follows through on the threat or not.
- Comment on Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along? 4 weeks ago:
Trump threatening to take away Musk’s government contracts is pretty serious for a smokescreen. Even the threat of doing this could destroy the companies, even if he never intended to follow through.
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 4 weeks ago:
For them spaces on the internet are just a question and answer machine - why would they thank us NPCs?
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 4 weeks ago:
Or they do get the answer they want and now they don’t need to get anymore answers.
- Comment on Happy PrIDE Month 4 weeks ago:
You might be thinking of “IED”
Very different!
- Comment on WaaaaAAALLLEEEeee 5 weeks ago:
Well, we could nationalize car production.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I think heart problems could actually make it possible to hold your breath until you die. You wouldn’t suffocate, but the stress on the heart would still kill you.
A drinker and a smoker? Probably stressed their heart too much.
- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 5 weeks ago:
Also, hire someone who dropped out of school and got a chatbot to lie on their resume.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 1 month ago:
No, actually, it’s like saying “The cost of football tickets went up.” “Have you considered reading?”
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 1 month ago:
If they ever put ads into my audiobooks I’m going to abandon civilization to live in the mountains.
