  • Then first time? This is at least the 5th or 6th time.

    Every time Republicans get a majority/the presidency they do this shit.

  • Yummy

  • The solution is to cut them into smaller pieces

  • Ranked choice voting isn't hard. There are 10 minute YouTube videos for children that explain the concept, just add it to civics class curriculum.

  • And about 35% of people will still blame it on the dems, 5% will just vote based on the economy (if good vote incumbent party, if bad vote opposing party), so maybe we can hope the remaining 10% can be swayed to reason. First past the post voting is so so bad

  • Gru looking ass

  • It molts eventually, never the same after

  • The video of Trump sucking his toes was peak comedy though

  • *Paleontologists

    Archaeologist study humans in the past and sometimes our evolutionary ancestors through remains and material culture

  • Many libraries also give out subscriptions.to Mango. That is usually a paid app and much better than doulingo

  • True, but 1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more. Now we have some advantages. Even access to the internet is a good quality of life improvement compared to 1025 CE.

    So maybe instead 1,000 years the inequality still exists, but technology has made things a little nice for the working class. It's all about perspective.

    Or the climate crisis and subsequent environmental collapse lead to a Mad Max hellscape

  • So by not wanting to be complicit in one genocide you allowed fascism to rise and now are unwilling complicit in more crimes against humanity.

    Harm reduction is a simple concept

  • It's called self preservation and acknowledging that America's voting system is fundamentally flawed. You vote for harm reduction not perfection.

    It's easier to fight against the genocide in Israel when you're not under a fascist government in your own country

  • And now thankfully Trump has stopped the genocide, oh wait he accelerated it.

    With Kamala there was a chance things would have changed. The dems were at least applying pressure to Israel to find a resolution. I have plenty of criticisms and am pissed we spent tax dollars arming Israel.

    However, now our government is enthusiastically supporting the elimination of Gaza. So yeah that didn't pan out

  • You claimed it was not effecting me personally. I gave you an example of how it was. Believe it or not having an income, housing, food to eat, and health insurance is actually pretty god damn important to me.

    I made no more comments on my opinions of this government. I'm equally as disgusted by those things. What would you have me do? I go to my local protests regularly, but that is only so effective if at all. If you're going to suggest I personally go out and start an armed rebellion, don't. Neither you or I will be doing that, but you are more than welcome to prove me wrong.

    We are almost certainly on the same side here. I'm just fearful these people will not face justice due to our country's historic precedence. I wish I could have your confidence that they will face appropriate punishment, but I'm skeptical and doubt the American people. So maybe instead of trying to make me into a strawman or attach false claims onto my comments, just take them for what they are and go find an argument worth arguing.

  • How the hell did you get that from my comment?

    I feel the effects of this government daily. I haven't gotten good sleep in months and wonder every day if tomorrow is the day I lose my job. If I lose my career that I've dedicated my life to. All due to Trump's executive action.

    It's a far stretch to go from my cynicism to assuming that I don't care or I'm unaffected by this regime. I do care and I feel the impacts.

    If anything I'd argue I fear US history will repeat itself and these people will not only get away with it, but they will also continue their political careers. I'm afraid that's what will happen because it has repeatedly happened. I hope I am wrong. I hope this time is different. I will support actions and people that seek to end this madness anyway I can, but I fear nothing will happen

  • We allowed Confederates to serve in the Senate after the war. These people were part of an armed rebellion against the US government and we allowed them to take office

  • Bullshit. The united states has always failed to prosecute bad actors. They executed 1 general after the civil war. The rest of the Confederate government got to live out their days free. All of the governors that fought civil rights never got punished, nor did the cops that still tried to enforce segregation after the civil rights act. Nixon and everyone that worked with him got away with Watergate. What didn't Reagan get away with?

    The US will only punish poor people with no political power if they dare try to change the system.

    I hope I'm wrong this time, but US history is disappointing

  • I'll do you one better, my local library has plenty of disc sets for series. They have a lot of the ones usually locked behind additional subscriptions too.

  • They told my wife this, but she's on blood thinner and can't have ibuprofen. Least you can do is read her medical history before telling her to take a dangerous drug combo
