You said it. Dogshit.
I’m so glad I’ve spent hte las tyears backing up the file of pretty much every bit of media I enjoy, because it’s the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 3 days ago:
I appreciate the info. Thank you.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 3 days ago:
Not at all.
When they have power and still rule as conservatives, we hate them for the fact that they lied to us. When they are out of power and fail to oppose anything they said they would, we hate them for being collaborators.
It’s two different, but very shitty things.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 3 days ago:
They should be spending more time with their constituents than in DC. Spending time with constituents is the most fundamental job function of a representative.
A whole lot of words there to say: “You’re wrong… but maybe also not wrong.”
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 3 days ago:
…
Respectfully, your reply makes no sense. Donald got a second term precisely because the Dems did nothing meaningful about any of this. Hell, the two ruling parties have failed so spectacularly it’s made socialists electable.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
As they say, ignorance is bliss.
Have a nice Sunday.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
I understand that.
Joe was at least willing to try and put a kind face on all this, even though he too was corrupt and driving this country into the ground. People who tend to vote centrist place a lot of emphasis on presentation and less on what a politician actually accomplishes.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
They are, in far too many ways.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
Or, rather, vote Green because whether you vote Democrat or Republican, you know from 40 years of empirical data that they have no intention of making things better for you in a material way.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
Indeed.
If no one is willing to actually hold people accountable, laws become meaningless. Billionaires were on to something when they captured both ruling parties.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
They do.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
Indeed. If we cound the bribes, I mean “lobbyist gifts”, they get about as well as teachers or cancer researchers or whatever SHOULD be paid.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
It just infuriates me that our federal politicians only work like four months out of the year.

- Comment on I may be wrong here. Isn't AI only as smart as the user putting in the information or commands? What's the big deal? 4 days ago:
Well put. I was just going to say that I suppose it depends on whether or not you’re the type willing to take the time to check your work and/or test as needed.
- Comment on Is it possible for someone in America to not know who Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is? 5 days ago:
I’ve heard the names but they could knock on my door and I’d have no idea who they are.
And that’s okay. All they do is play a meaningless game really, really well.
- Comment on The US Department of Transportation has intensified its efforts to remove bike lane references from federal websites 5 days ago:
That is aggravating.
HOWEVER
Bike lanes are something that you, yes you, have a small bit of power over in your local neighborhood. It is feasible to get your city council and planning board to listen if you organize locally.
- Comment on What are your favourite PSP games? 6 days ago:
As far as I know it’s either PSP or you play it on an emulator.
- Comment on How do I survive the US immigration? 1 week ago:
Regarding your concerns.
- Yes, your phone will almost certainly be examined upon entry. There are likely guides online as to how to protect your data so you can safely remove it before entering on YouTube or available via civil rights groups like the ACLU. I’m guessing you’ll need to create a backup, delete everything that might hurt Donald Trump’s feelings before you travel, and then restore it once you’re in the country from the cloud.
- Probably.
- Your employer almost certainly has a policy and training for you if you’re traveling internationally with confidential data. I work for a law firm myself and those resources are available for people traveling to other countries. Check with your IT department.
- This I cannot speak to, but maybe speak to your peers at work who travel internationally or if you know anyone who traveled to the US recently for the World Cup they may be able to provide more guidance.
I’m sorry our border crossings are so stupid.

A fantastic RPG.
- Comment on Centrist and Establishment Democrats when they see Zorhan and AOC coming up with profound and capacitating strategies on world issues: 1 week ago:
LOL
“cooked”
Get off social media.
All people care about right now is affordability, and the only candidates talking about it are DSA. You’re not only incorrect. You’re confidently incorrect, just like Kamala supporters were.
- Comment on Centrist and Establishment Democrats when they see Zorhan and AOC coming up with profound and capacitating strategies on world issues: 1 week ago:
You geniuses said that in 2024, and then Republicans ran on affordability and won.
Please just stop making predictions.
- Comment on Centrist and Establishment Democrats when they see Zorhan and AOC coming up with profound and capacitating strategies on world issues: 1 week ago:
He’s right.
I am their enemy.
I watched my dad wasting away, spending the last three years of his life driving for DoorDash at age 83 for pennies before he died, because that’s how badly he wanted to take care of my mom and young siblings and keep them from homelessess.
Democrats and Republicans should be everyone’s enemy, because unless you haven’t had to pay your own bills, mind your own kids, or shop for your own groceries lately, they damn sure are your enemies.
- Comment on Are there any payment aggregators (Like Paypal for instance) that prioritize user privacy? 1 week ago:
Holy crap, that sounds fantastic.
I’m just getting more diligent about my privacy in the face of the US tech empire going balls to the wall with stealing people’s data, and it looks like this might be a helpful addition in that regard.
- Comment on Are there any payment aggregators (Like Paypal for instance) that prioritize user privacy? 1 week ago:
Not exactly what I asked for, but yes.
- Comment on Are there any payment aggregators (Like Paypal for instance) that prioritize user privacy? 1 week ago:
Ah, I’d forgotten AML. That’s a good point.
I’m in the process of moving many of my accounts to European apps in order to take advantage of the better data privacy regulation, and it just occurred to me that I haven’t pursued whether or not there’s a useful payment aggregator headquartered there. I’ll have to continue looking.
- Comment on If the US Military can offer free money for college education..and is part of the government then why does the average Joe have to pay back a small student loan? 1 week ago:
Part of it is capitalism, which here in the US is a civic religion. Most people find it an affront that their tax dollars might fund someone else’s college education. (Which I agree is moronic.)
Part of it is also Joe Biden, who championed legislation that made it so student loans couldn’t be discharged in bankruptcy. (Because he’s a motherfucker.)
- Comment on If the US Military can offer free money for college education..and is part of the government then why does the average Joe have to pay back a small student loan? 1 week ago:
And you have to legit risk death, even if you’re a reservist.

By design.
I can only conclude that they change stuff just to make it seem like they’re keeping busy, and they’re vibe coding it without any QA so it doesn’t perform as intended either. For instance, I have to use Teams at work, and I have certain projects prioritized over others. These have alerts and notifications set up, or at least they did until last week, when teams inexplicably turned them off because they’re trying to get people to tag ID’s more.
Stupid. Just stupid.
