  Maybe that’s what she looks like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How? We can barely have an impact here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, exactly.

  It’s two guys, and it’s a truck. Let’s be accurate here folks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the fuck do I find out where and when all these protests and rallies are happening?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sign up for Indivisible. They have an email list and will send you dates well in advance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spooky⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oooh, yeah… I think I’ve blocked a lot of them already

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spooky⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the racism here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Po-tay-toes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow. I honestly think I’d starve

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Po-tay-toes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you mean potato potatoes? Or do you extend that to french fries, tater tots, and chips?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. So we fund countries that are battling other countries that have done us harm. Proxy fights, if you will. So Israel and Ukraine. And cut the rest of the funding for wars.

  That seems reasonable. Is that what we’re doing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We are not subsidizing recreating those factories that are gone. Which is a shame.

  What you’re saying makes sense if we were putting tariffs an those specific industries that we have factories for, but not other industries. Are we doing that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’re saying it’s ok if we’re policing the world as long as it’s for liberal countries?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you text l rectify the idea of not being world police with:

  "I have signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. "?

  Or is that somehow different?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tariffs are one way to protect domestic industry.

  They are completely useless when that industry does not exist already. When an industry doesn’t exist and you want to build it, you need subsidies, not tariffs.

  Do you believe the US has sufficient industry to protect? Or that we should instead be focused on growing more?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How in the name of sweet baby imaginary white Jesus did you get out of that mindset!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 33 cents a small amount of money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “you can’t make less money by making more money”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to switch instances without making a new account?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  troubleshooting a tech issue

  1. Turn it off

  2. Shed the yolk of capitalism that weighs upon the working class, like they do in China.

  3. Turn it back on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable about many Americans constantly calling people "black" and "white" and making such a big thing about it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They aren’t bothered by it. But they’ll also still say “the dark girl”, with no malice of course.

  Skin color, hair color, height, weight. These are all easy to see and use to identify people when we don’t know names.

  There’s nothing wrong with saying “the black guy” if you don’t know Steve yet. I guess you could also say “the darker hair individual, maybe a 4c”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I put lots of effort into my attempt at protest art and someone defaced it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Go back in and spray the balls red and green and the shaft black. Double down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of the Nicole spam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe. That gets expensive very fast. We should all ask for artwork.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of the Nicole spam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If we all wasted 5 minutes we could shut down the system.

  People really underestimate the power of collective action. It’s just meat based ddos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I ask you this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first 7 are also for snacking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Atomfall Hands-On Preview: Rebellion’s New IP is More Than Just British Fallout - WGB article⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only can we live in a place that’ll kill us on the cellular level, but we can wear theatrical facepaint

  This no longer seems like a stretch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just watched someone walk their cart all the way to the corral at the back of the lot rather than back to the store that was much closer.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was that corall otherwise empty?

  If not, shuddup :-p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Bowie Criticizes MTV for Not Playing Videos by Black Artists | MTV News⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “blacks”

  I’m judging you now. It’s been decades since this has been ok to say. C’mon, catch up.

  “Don’t make much rock”

  I think you mean to say they literally invented rock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TF do you mean "working"??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Will it open a portal to the hell dimension? No.

  Will it slice up your hands as a horrible practical joke? Maybe…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a pattern for right-wing people to attack films, series and animations with protagonists from minority groups? Or is this an exaggeration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This best part of that quote, is that it’s the conservatives and the right-wing that are the weak men.

  Weakness in that context is not about being physically strong or working hard. Its weakness that has allowed the owner class to siphon money from the workers for decades. That’s the weakness.

  The blue color men from several generations ago were strong. They put in place worker protections, they gave us the minimum wage, they made it so single income could support a family. They fought, and sometimes died, for the worker.

  And this made soft little boomer and younger conservative babies, who in their softness thought that they were special and hard-working, and that collective action wasn’t needed. They allowed Union protections to be stripped away because they, in their individualism, thought they didn’t need it.

  And now we’ve realized that we need to be strong again, and fight again, to make up for what those weak ass babies lost us.

  And we’re bitter about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call Them. Replace Them.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. Just making sure it was just some weird optics things and not an actual way to quiet him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call Them. Replace Them.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct me if I’m wrong, but censures mean fuckall, right? It’s basically saying “you were naughty and I’m doing nothing about it”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hate crimes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?

  I think you’re suffering from selection bias…

  If they didn’t want me drinking, they wouldn’t make the game so boring.
