  • Yeah plenty of people like cunts, nobody likes Ted Cruz

  • Well he ran for human president

  • Nah he's the senator who could be murdered at work and the senate wouldn't convict the killer

  • For Sauron, yes exactly that. He was a Maiar of the Valar of craftsmanship who was swayed by Morgoth. He almost certainly would very much like just leading in a world that rejects the natural wildness to be replaced with a mechanical and industrial order. In the same way that Radagast would like nothing more than going camping forever.

  • If we don't form a popular front we lose. And over on the socialist side, I (syndicalist/mutualistish leftist) hold two left wing purity tests: equality/freedom and political pluralism.

  • Yeah I'm really hoping Platner is another Smedley, but I'm afraid he might not be. Giving power to someone like this is scary. Hell the only reason Smedley was able to stop the business plot is that the conspirators assumed he hadn't changed.

    In the primaries I was tentatively pro Platner. In the general I'm just pro Platner. And if he wins and his actions match his words then in 6 years I'll be extremely pro Platner.

    Hell, for all I hate Fetterman I'm still glad he didn't lose the general, Senator Mehmet Oz would've been worse.

  • I can hope he's a Smedley Butler type, but yeah I'm glad that wasn't the race I had to decide on

  • Could be, or it could be reappropriated for a better world.

    Though tbh my money is on it just making the world weirder and having mixed results in quality

  • Can't wait for the first law containing emojis…

  • Plenty of them are. (Only speaking on America because I don't know much about elsewhere). The national lawyers guild is awesome. The ACLU has its controversies and decisions I may not love, but by fuck do they fight for our civil rights. Environmental lawyers accept shit pay and long hours to fight for a habitable world. Public defenders accept bad pay and long hours standing up for the accused (yeah lot of issues there too, but the job is necessary). There are lawyers fighting for civil rights all over, especially now as the government engages in tyranny. And yeah social security and disability lawyers fighting to get people what they're owed.

    Lawyers can be expensive, slimy, and weaponized, but they're also a vital tool in pressuring governments, and yeah that goes both ways too. Fascists want you to be disillusioned by them because lawyers are part of how we preserve the rule of law instead of rule by law.

  • Part of the problem these days is people have slowly stopped mentoring young professionals like that. Yes it takes time, but it's either paying it forward or leaving the world better than you found it. As a professional I have obligations to society, and I believe those include the integrity to review everything I professionally endorse to a reasonable degree, and to help guide and instruct younger members of my career when given opportunities. It's important to say "hey, here's what you did wrong, here's why it's wrong, here's how you should do it."

  • 10 years ago Google was trusted and liked. The cracks were starting to show, but we're talking about the Google that was still open sourcing a lot of their products and loudly opposing government censorship of the internet.

  • As an American, we must embrace the superiority of the metric system, but yeah I'll pass on bagged milk

  • In our defense, some of us have to park aways away from our front doors

  • For me it's usually insulting the hearing or aggressively vomiting depending on the anesthetic

  • Or while waking up

  • Blaming deuterosomy, bold but I like it

  • I feel like since the book was written they've slowly slipped into willful evil. Even in the book, as time went on they got more and more comfortable doing evil rather than just not avoiding doing evil.
