Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • It's almost as if enormous wealth is the larger issue here...

    They come so close.

    Who cares if someone can buy Trump specifically? The problem is people with enormous wealth can buy governments.

  • I wish this asshole would get pushed to define what he means by "lack of qualified Americans" because I'm like 99.9% sure he just means "they're too expensive."

  • The need some people have to be part of a group.

    I've been "alone" for such a long time that it probably affects how I see things like this, but I just don't get the need some people have. I'm thinking from things like worshipping a politician just to be part of a group to more simple things like needing to insert yourself into a group at work just to be "one of the guys." I've always just done my own thing and never considered myself part of anything, whether friend groups, work "cliques," or whatever. If it was "Tim, Tom, and Tina" I could be friends with all of them, but I never felt like I needed to be, or even ever was part of "their" group. I just come and go as the situation arises.

    Some things like politics I obviously fall into one category or another based on my beliefs, but I don't conform or alter my beliefs just to maintain a position within that group.

  • Oh hey it's the thing conservatives love to do almost as much as shoveling money at rich people: beat us over the head and then cry about being a victim of "the left!"

  • Absolute nonsense!

    Literally every single thing posted to the Internet is 100% serious and factual, including both your comment and my own.

    Fun science fact! Mickey mouse performs ritual sacrifices to keep the earth rotating.

  • 'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees

    That's just a few articles after a very brief search. What do you think Republicans were freaking out about when Colorado tried to do the same thing to Trump because he really legally shouldn't have been allowed to be on the ballot because of his involvement with jan 6th?

    I get how the electoral college works, but the states decide how their elections are run and if the state chose to remove her then it's not clear if there would have been a Democrat on their ballot at all. It's not a federal thing. it's 100x harder to get people to know to write in Kamala and to actually do it, than to just have an easy circle there for them to fill with her name in it so whether the legal challenges would have been successful or not, it's not the best gamble to try to push it when we know how stacked against "us" the courts are.

    None of this is to really defend the DNC, I fucking hate them and hope the party burns so we can rebuild something where the people actually give a shit about us. I just don't think in the timeframe we had there was any reality where we could have taken the time for a primary nor did there seem to be any contenders that wanted to cause a disruption that close to the election.

  • 'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees

    Jump

  • Did we all just collectively forget that the DNC was panicking about rushing the vote for Kamala as fast as possible to avoid lawsuits from Republican states that could have kept her off the ballot?? If that happened then Trump would just have won by default.

    We're in this fantasy world that we could have had a primary. It's stubborn old fucking Bidens fault that we were in this position. There was no time to have a primary even if I really really really wish there was. Biden decided that even though he doesn't know where he is 90% of the time he was The Best Person™ to run against Trump because pretty much every human being that obtains some sort of power for any meaningful amount of time becomes a narcissistic asshole.

    This is 100% on the old fuck Biden for not accepting that death comes for us all and decline is a real thing. He just plugged his ears and went "lalalalalalala I can't hear you!" until someone told him he just finished a debate and it went horribly.

  • Marianne Williamson launches bid for DNC chair

    Jump

  • This is one of those things most people won’t pay attention to, but if this guy gets DNC chair…

    We could actually cause lasting change and pull up from the nosedive

    Ahh so in other words there's basically a 0% chance we'll get him. At least we know who definitely won't be the DNC chair for those who might want to place bets. :(

  • Former President Bill Clinton is in the hospital after developing a fever, spokesperson says

    Jump

  • "Mr.Clinton has requested as many young female staffers as possible to help suck the microbes out of his body to expedite the healing process. He has had to be reminded repeatedly that such a process working is a myth. An anonymous source has said they have heard Clinton acknowledge that and is aware of the fact it is a myth. He has continued his requests as of this writing."

  • "On the downside, taxing business income tends to weigh on the economy. It does so by reducing the incentive to accumulate capital and start new businesses or expand existing ones. That, in turn, lowers national income."

    What the absolute fucking hell what what what!? What kind of insanity is that??

    "Taxes are too high so I don't want to try to earn more money. I'll settle with less money." Said literally no capitalist ever.

  • New research shows the massive hole Dems are in

    Jump

  • There's only one economic platform the US is allowed to have, but seemingly unlimited social platforms. The ownership class doesn't care about social issues as long as it doesn't affect their bank accounts so we're free to have variety there. So we're stuck with two parties that barely differ on economic platforms and focus all their differences on social issues. Since the Dems aren't allowed to make needed economic changes they "have" to try to compete in the social realm. Let's see how far right they move in that respect now...

    Fun stuff :/

  • I just think all of the minerals and gems look so cool.

    That's where I'm at too. I said mineralogy, but really just because I didn't know a concise way of putting "I just like how minerals look" in terms of an interest. Lol

    Definitely agree on the Smithsonian, such a cool section!

  • I really had to think just to come up with nothing lol

    I get REALLY into something for 2 weeks then I drop it and never look back. I was into minerals/mineralogy for a few years I guess, but I'm not all that knowledgeable. I just really like copper bearing minerals like dioptase and azurite.
