  The simple answer: corrupt capitalism.

  And then there is trump, the illegitimate president, Russian stooge, trying to repeal the CHIPS act.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same age, but shit’s just gotten worse every year for a good decade or so for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I have. I’ve worked to get progressives elected. I’ve walked precincts to encourage people to vote. I did that shit for decades. And shit just got worse. What I see, over and over, is fuckers bitching about 2 choices who never even bothered to vote in the primaries, you know, when you usually actually have a choice. Complaints about 2 party system, first past the post, etc. are absolutely legitimate, but it comes down to the fact that these people are elected. So yes, I am blaming the voters. A little less than 50% of the stupid fuckers still think shit-for-brains trump is doing a great job.

  Also, those same fucking voters keep electing the same decrepit representatives, so why should they (the reps) be expected to rock their money boat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I probably messed up something somewhere. And, yep, I can’t see MrKaplan at sopuli.xyz, but if I open in a different container tab where I’m not logged in, still sopuli.xyz, I see the posts. It’s not just MrKaplan, but really it happens on most pages. I’ll see <x> number of comments, but I can only see one or two. It’s been like that for a long time, I just can’t be bothered to figure it out. ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What job do you need this hard hat for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Paintball cosplay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Very weird. I can’t see MrKaplan’s post unless I logout, but he isn’t in my blocklist. Maybe he’s blocking me? I don’t really know how the blocks work. Weird, but not a big deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m over 200 blocked now. It would be nice to have that site maintenance idea working to clear out my list. I’ll have to remember when I hit the limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You aren’t wrong, and I’m not sure why the other person is arguing with you. Seems like that Monty Python sketch about arguing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t seem like people are really aware that the coup was successful this time. All the shit we are seeing is just fallout from that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Poetic take" on the state of the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  righteous?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just can’t engage because for some reason in righty’s mind, liberal == progressive. Like, for them also, fascism == communist. It’s just a complete failure to agree on basic, high school level definitions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When would it make sense for someone to get a domain name?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I got one for my son when he was a couple years old. This was almost 30 years ago. He hasn’t done much with it, I don’t know if he ever will, but it’s pretty handy for like hosting the family’s email, throwing up shit to share with family/friends, etc… I could do without it, but it’s really cheap to maintain and I like controlling my own data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, they aren’t talking about the huge number of “illegals” who are here on expired visas because that would mean a lot of white people would get rounded up in this bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way our of the US political spiral?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was talking with some kids the other month (Berkeley grads, so “kids”=mid 20s), and they really believed this current shit show is no big deal because they were taught about “checks and balances” in HS. It blows my mind that anyone thinks Fuckhead and the current GOP is just a normal swaying of the political pendulum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The 2A was so that the Federal gov’t wouldn’t have a standing army. That went out the window really quickly when a Federal force under the first president had to be raised to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. At the time, the 2A should have been repealed or rephrased at least. Don’t forget that one of the jobs of the US gov’t, as defined in The Constitution (which admittedly, doesn’t mean much now when we have a president who is clearly does not qualify under the 14th Amendment), is to put down domestic violence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨only 100% dry cotton cleaning⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s too bad. I was going to buy one, but I don’t want to be associated with magats in any way or form. Other than living in the same country, for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choosing pink is chaotic evil?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  PAUL MCCARTNEY: I’ll never forget the first time I heard the Brown Note. I’d been wearing my favorite trousers that day. At least they were my favorite trousers.

  RINGO STARR: At first I assumed I was hearing one of John and Yoko’s weird sound experiments. After a few seconds I knew it was bigger than that. I mean the sound moved me — moved me bowels that is.

  PAUL MCCARTNEY: A sound that makes you crap yourself? That’s the power of music, man. As soon as I heard it I realized: The Beatles gotta break up. Well, there were other reasons, but that was definitely a reason.

  From, and continued here, for those interested in statements from other musicians on The Brown Note.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe, just maybe, a company that refuses to give you time off if you have a bullet inside of you is a really really shitty company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If only workers could band together and use their collective bargaining powers to improve their treatment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pornhub Is Now Blocked In Almost All of the U.S. South⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The exact phrasing varies, but in most states, the details of the law are the same: Any “commercial entity” that publishes “material harmful to minors” online can be held liable—meaning, tens of thousands of dollars in fines and/or private lawsuits—if it doesn’t “perform reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material.”

  Sure seems like that would cover a lot of websites, including most news sites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The word my family uses for that is “mom”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And there was no on line manual⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a kid, I got pissed at my dad for something and reset all the stations, thinking it would throw him for a loop. He noticed what I had done almost immediately, fixed them all in about 5-10 seconds and looked at me like I was stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a human, here is my human take on unions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a union rep there would be people that would bitch about the $70 bucks a month or whatever the dues were. I would explain that without the union their pay would be far, far less (not even bringing up the benefits of work hours, vacation days and whatnot). Like the “all taxes are theft” morons, the words fell on deaf and willfully ignorant ears.

  It was fun to spell aloud when I was 7.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The **Most open** Operating System"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We, at least in the US, are living in a “post factual” world. So this makes perfect sense. Like when my kid was small and everytime he thought he “lost” at something he would declare it Opposite Day. Fuck it, why not? M$ being the most open OS makes no sense, so it makes total sense. War is Peace^tm^

  They are also on here instead of reddit, so they are really in much more rarefied air.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what can I use to cushion my knee when exercising with it on the floor so it doesn't hurt?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just search for “kneeling pad” or “gardening knee pad” and you’ll find a bunch of pretty durable options for around $10. Or, hell, just get a pair of skateboarding knee pads. You might not be the pinnacle of fashion, but your knees will be well protected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really possible to tax the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s fair. US mindset, I’m just still processing our shitshow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really possible to tax the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Theoretically, sure. Pragmatically, we just elected a fascist insurrectionist, and it’s not going to happen in the near future.
