“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.”
Luigi needs to set up a PAC and announce his campaign for president. I’m not even joking. This covers a lot of sins.
The pattern of speech among conservatives always seems to be “most $negativeAdjective $noun in human history”.
Book bans are about control.
That’s why it appeals to fascists.
What about funds to raise awareness of jury nullification? I want ads plastered around the courthouse 24/7 and in Times Square.
I’ll admit: I actually like my insurance. I work for a Fortune 100 company and our benefits are very nice. My insurance covers just about everything I needed it to and more. It’s fucking amazing.
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THIS INSURANCE!!!
It fucking shouldn’t be tied to my employer! I absolutely hate the fact that there is a gatekeeper between the public at large and decent health insurance.
My largest concern over a government run health insurance is that it will be used as a political sword. Republicans control Congress? Say goodbye to abortions and gender affirming care being covered. Hell, say goodbye to healthcare covering anything if you don’t submit to a drug test.
Conservatives have been calling them “invaders” for some time now, primarily to rile up Texans who want to invade Mexico.
The fact that we don’t see Meal Team 6 make excursions across the border tells you that they care more about punishing immigrants than actually invading Mexico.
There is a reason why it worked for the Republicans and won’t work for the Democrats: the bases are vastly different.
Republicans, by in large, will vote for a Republican even if they don’t like the candidate. I saw this a lot when I was a poll worker. They don’t even care about their platform. So long as they have an R at the end of their name, they get a vote from Republicans.
While Democrats vote Democrat, they’ll only come out to vote if they are energized. They won’t come out to vote if they don’t feel like you’ve earned it. We saw this in 2016 and 2024.
Simply put, Republicans are more reliable voters.
The Democrat tent is very large with often conflicting values. A lot of single-issue voters will simply stay home than to vote for a Democrat. Because of this, it is rare when a candidate will arise that will galvanize and coalesce the base.
The last time it happened was Obama.
Right now is actually the perfect time to create a third party. You have effectively two years to get people excited about an actual progressive party and if the DNC come knocking saying you’re going to split the vote, tell them that they are splitting the vote and they should fold into you.
I’m fucking tired of the Democrats learning the wrong lessons from lost elections. They’d rather lose than give up power.
There is so much lore behind Community and Chevy Chase. My understanding is that Community was supposed to be his show, where he was the good guy and was the main protagonist, not Joel McHale. (You sort of see hints of this in the gas leak year.)
As the series went on, it was clear that Chevy was annoyed about their long hours, shooting schedules, etc. TBF to Chevy, Dan Harmon made every episode into a movie that required a lot of shots, something that made him disliked by network executives. It’s why he got fired over Chevy in season 4.
What every executive failed to realize is that these “movies” were absolutely awesome and that’s why the fans love the show. They were smart, funny, and gave you a sense that they weren’t taking things seriously.
In the end, the show was better without Chevy.

I left .world a while back. Even with NSFW turned off I still have good content.
I have 6-hour top as my default sort.
The fuck are you still doing on reddit?!
I haven’t looked back since I left and absolutely enjoy Lemmy.
“Don’t half ass two things. Whole ass one thing.”
Politicians but especially rich people seem to forget that when we have nothing to lose, that’s when revolutions happen.
JFK’s quote has been ringing in my head since all this has happened: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
These assholes have stacked our government against us. Sure we have some good eggs but the level of progress especially in the last 20 years has slowed to a crawl.
UHC shooter is the beginning.
Remember: the 1% made the rules.
What?! How?! So I can learn to avoid it!
Misinformation is a feature, not a bug. They never fixed AI from hallucinating or being so damn confident in its answers.
They just tell you that it might hallucinate and to check its answers.
I remember complaining on Amazon about the price of digital books when they were still relatively new. They wanted me to pay the same price for a digital book as a physical book. Back then, Amazon still had pretty decent customer service and wrote me back saying that the price for the book wasn’t for literal pages but for the work in making the book, etc. etc.
I told them I understood that but I don’t get the same rights with the digital book as I did with the physical, namely the right to sell the book.
Books, board games, etc. any physical media is technically a license, yes. BUT the copyright holder cannot bar you from doing whatever you want with the physical copy, within the limits of copyright law. Those same rights simply do not exist with your digital copies and, in fact, is often codified within your terms of service that you don’t fucking own anything and they can pull your license at any time.
DVD is next to impossible to revoke while Blu-ray is not. But you can’t revoke Blu-ray licenses to specific people but to regions. I haven’t heard of this happening but if it did, you could, in theory, still play your Blu-ray disks on players that aren’t connected to the internet to receive those updates. That said, I’m like 80% sure that Blu-ray keys have been leaked and you can rip them like DVDs today.
But he’s still going to be racist and transphobic right?
Because I want to keep being racist and demand to see people’s genitals.
I don’t care if I have to pay $6 for eggs so long as I can still be an asshole.
