  Eh. Schools are directly beholden to laws regulating how much anyone can have input on a child. All of the helicopter parents are directly fucking over school staff for disciplining the trouble students who have no idea what authority even means, let alone what police can do to them should they start to genuinely fuck around.

  and yet I remain unconvinced that a significant portion of his sycophants understand that higher prices are merely the beginning of his idolatric shitshow. Most have merely come to the end of their pitifully short attention span.

  My greatest fear is that all of this is merely over cost of living, and after establishment dems snuff any meaningful change, we’ll be right back to fighting the fascist de jure.

  Unless (and yes, it IS a big unless that I desperately hope is merely the ghosts of the past) the Dems enact meaningful change, within the next two years, it’ll be right back to clown A vs clown B for 2028.

  Oh nononono, this is how capitalists, and free enterprise types before them (and let’s be real; a lot of royalty, too), always were. There has always been greedy fucks trying to get as much wealth out of every encounter they could. Though capitalism normalized it for the average Joe.

  The only reason it seems like the past twenty years is because during the previous fifty years, the capitalists were heavily regulated, unions were strong (after fighting and literally dying for much of the nice things we enjoy today like a five day work week), and the ultra-wealthy were taxed to hell and back.

  There will always be greedy selfish fucks that must see number go up. The world is slowly re-learning that they are the problem, not the solution.

  So long as not supporting them cannot turn into helping the even worse option. Only an absolute fool allows worse to happen just because there is no ‘good’ option.

  Nah most still haven’t realized it.

  It’s going to be about GTA 6.

  lol imagine askkng an anti-zionist to fuck off… absolute colonialist clown fucking pile of shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rage bait ravings⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s rage bait just for not understanding the English language. The fuck. I’d block that brainrot, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just for them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, that’s pigeon-holing it. There are many, many more reasons TERFs can hate trans women. Sometimes it’s as simple as them being confused for “men” by bigots because they’re not traditionally attractive and that pisses them off at their core, or sometimes they’re standard religious bigots that think, “God made you a MAN so be a MAN!”, ignoring all the evidence that even genetic sex is a spectrum.

  Never underestimate the creativity of bigots to justify their hate by any means necessary.

  Hope makes people believe lies and propaganda. Hope can make people docile when things need to actively be changed. Hope is poison to reality when it motivates you to do less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA waking up and seeing the election results⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Given how many Dems voted for the last set, and wholly unqualified ilk like RFK Jr., are you so sure you can rely on the entire party to stand for something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA waking up and seeing the election results⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it likely will be more of the same unless we get a real progressive president in 2028. A non-supermajority in Congress isn’t exactly much power in this government, and Dems already have lots of practice kowtowing progressives in Congress.

  It’s great to see the blue wave, but this fight is far from over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a night⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  lol we’ll see how long the famously short American memory is… I’ve seen this song and dance many times before. Sad you clowns don’t understand how reality works.

  Note how I never said this was a bad thing. I only implied everything that is glaringly obvious from history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a night⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, and preferably in a better way than the section 8 projects that immediately turned into slums of a slightly more vertical sort. It cannot entail simply shoving all the poors together with little other assistance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elections Have Consequences⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Never been to a US history class outside of college in the US? There’s a big reason so many Americans still think it’s the greatest country on the planet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elections Have Consequences⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know who ‘we’ is, but it does happen 100,000x on smaller scales with shitty parents. I’m sure it’d be a different story if 90% of adults wouldn’t get in trouble for parenting someone else’s kids these days to make up for the shitty parents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA waking up and seeing the election results⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, Fetterman called himself a progressive, too. We’ll have to see which ones aren’t just grifting the trend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA waking up and seeing the election results⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea we want justice, not revenge. Too bad they look very similar to braindead conservatives, and the Dems are happy enough to assuage their concerns.

  ‘Cause, you know, that’s their constituents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨whipped cream⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe, because sound gets all funky and sort of robotic for a few seconds, like you’re in the world’s most echoey tiny hallway. It’s weird. Would not recommend, but that’s because of the brain damage, not the experience.

  TIL shit means fake bullshit. Got it.

  FTFY.

  For reference, bullshit: informal + offensive : foolish or untrue words or ideas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a night⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nono shhhhhh we voted in midterms, that’s aaaaaaall we have to do! Let’s not pretend like there’s a huge mass of republicans and morons that will be getting gaslit and manipulated even harder for the next two years, and there’s definitely not an even more important vote then that Dems will surely try to stuff some milquetoast candidate into!

  Nonono, now is the time to celebrate and pretend things are fixed like a light switch being flipped!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a night⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately you’d have to solve the wage theft problem first unless you want only execs and the yuppiest yuppies living there. They were making similar plans in a not so terribly lefty city, to tear down a few neighborhoods and some not even old office buildings to build something similar. It wasn’t for any utopian plan, but to further gentrify a core part of the city and make the land owners and developers filthy rich. There was no option to be grandfathered in. They were just going to tell hundreds of families and businesses to fuck off if they couldn’t afford to move into where they already lived.

  Yea but have you met children??

  /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas Red Wave⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You know Republicans are ball-less shitfucks that don’t stand by anything except fucking others over. They’ll continue as normal and just say stupid shit like, “WeLl I dIdN’t VoTe FoR tHeM!” when the question comes up.

  A symptom of…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wrong cyberpunk timeline⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When energy was cheap… You realize:

  1. Freezers and fridges need to stay cold around the clock. Right? You cannot turn them off sometimes unless you want things to spoil. So… you’re not saving shit by making them “smart”.

  2. The efficiency gains over the years from refrigeration systems have NOT come from making them “smart”. It’s from making the part that actually uses a ton of energy more efficient.

  3. Nowhere do any of those rules require remote administration of the fridges and freezers. Only getting data OUT of them. Securely getting read-only data out of systems has been a solved problem for decades.

  So again, connecting them to the internet in any way that allows administration is unnecessary. Completely. Utterly. Now, remember that “unnecessary” does not mean, “utterly useless in all ways”. The point is that it does not justify the risks. The risks that are already showing you how stupid the idea is.

  3.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wrong cyberpunk timeline⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You know DAMN well there are FAR better ways to do that than to connect the fucking freezers to the Internet.

  This whole push from you is weirdly ignorant of how to actually do things, let alone safely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grimoire on the anal pupil 👁️⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ability to pretend to, anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wrong cyberpunk timeline⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nowhere do fridges need to send off data to meet any regulation.

  Nowhere do they need to be remotely controlled. Period.

  This is not something that showed up in the 21st century. Grocery stores have been successfully refrigerating things since before personal computers even existed.
