We all geared up? Does anyone need to pee first?

Thank you for your service. 🫡

Hell yes.

We’ve had Luigi, so are we now ready to take on the boss? Is our party complete?

It makes women adversaries instead of partners. It emboldens predators and removes people’s agency. Things like rape make certain people feel more powerful.

The problem is a lack of access to basic resources, resulting in lower education and thus more tribalism. A few of us are amplifying that because we’ve let that be profitable.

That’s what needs fixing.

Thank you for your comment. You literally made me cry. You are right.

e: not sure what I said wrong. I was being genuine.

Trump is a figurehead for the Heritage Foundation and a few other accelerationist dominionist groups who will remain in charge even if trump drops dead tomorrow.

Compare their list of names to the ones that show up most often in the Epstein files and think about how motivated they are right now.

e: Do you think Vance of all people will oppose them, who they handpicked for that job?

Baths are just human soup.

plan to take over the military

They don’t need to take over the military – they’re already in charge of it. A coup isn’t really 4D chess, either. It’s a well-tread, brute force tactic by fascists, including many of trump’s friends. Thankfully it’s been failing a lot lately, but these lunatics have, until January, nearly unfettered control of the biggest military in the world.

Trump already tried a coup once and got away with it, so he really has no reason not to try again to avoid a power shift that might result in accountability. And he doesn’t need to rely on an ad hoc smattering of fringe militias this time. He’s got the full weight of the US military.

I really hope this is alarmism and they’ll go out with a whimper, but their own history would suggest not.

Not bad enough. Not yet. Things will certainly get worse for him soon.

Gestures broadly at everything

Has to have been. There’s no way actual humans were excited for that thing.

Thank you. You’re not annoying, and I appreciate you posting this.

Obviously.

I’m in Michigan, and completely disabled. I always do mail in voting because I can’t go to the polls.

They didn’t send me my ballot this year, even though I logged in and made sure a few months ago that I was still enrolled and they’d send it.

So now, the only way I can keep my voice is to physically go vote in person, which I’m not sure I can do.

They’re actively taking votes away from the disabled, in other states. The California thing is bad, but this is happening everywhere.

I liked him, too. There’s probably dozens of us!

Wil Wheaton is the man. He should be on Lemmy. He was on Reddit, and we’d love him even more here.

Not surprised. I had one for the first time during the last release, and it was disgusting. I honestly can’t understand why anyone likes it.

So very clearly nothing like a rib, with highly questionable pressed meat and something meant to ‘feel’ like gristle. They try to fool you, but it doesn’t work.

Yes. Deregulation is a helluva drug.

Well, for one thing, it hasn’t been ‘a dollar’ for years. Also, now they’re buying shit on Temu and marking it up dozens of times.

So, you know the old adage in marketing that if you charge more for something it gives the impression of prestige? They do the opposite, where if the product itself is cheap shit, you feel you must be getting a bargain, even if it’s overpriced.
