A few years ago the USA banned buying a cargo space for use as a ferry, that would have been super cheap and made moving my electronics and tools a lot easier.

Please don’t encourage the accelerationists, they might try to find somebody worse than Trump if they think this somehow helps them.

Okay but they still forgot MAGA between 2020 and 2024. The reason MAGA and the GOP won isn’t because they got more people to vote for them, it’s because 8 Million who voted for Biden in 2020 did not vote for Harris in 2024. I really wish this were the same political landscape as the 1960s where we can hold on to our grudges forever, but clearly the advent of propoganda like Fox News, TikTok, X-Twitter, and FaceBook have made it very easy to program people en masse.

They will jump and fall, I wouldn’t keep them on a bed higher than 18 inches.

I’m kind of glad I didn’t plan that trip to Germany, now. Been considering relocating permanently, but I need to go and look around first. Cheapest flights are around late Oct to November.

I’m a consequentialist, their reasons for supporting progress are meaningless in the face of progress.

They would not all be up in arms, just a couple of individuals. Whoever wins the primary is the DNC and whoever loses is not, until the DNC in practice no longer exists.

I literally cannot think of a single way that it is better.

Its an ethnostate committing genocides in its own soil, a religious theocracy that destroys ancient temples, an aggressive expansionist military state with constant highly funded and organized propoganda, it bullies and destroys ships fo being close to their favorite spots in the wide ocean, and a single party with president for life dictatorship. They’ve got a massive and increasing homeless population because the government gets to decide where they “live”. They do pretty good on pollutions per capita but now they’re trying to grow their capita again. The use financial coercion and manipulate markets at every opportunity even going so far as to mass produce products at a loss in order to push others out of markets. The fund fucking Iran and the Taliban to wage proxy war, and are as active in South America as the CIA ever was.

And thats only the recent shit they’ve done, the same party has been in power since Mao fucking Zedong was starving tens of millions of people for literally no reason.

And, you can even blame the current turn for the worst that the USA is going through on them because they explicitly endorsed Trump and spread promotion of him through TikTok in a bid to save their psyop from being banned.

It’s not just possible but inevitable, and the more oppressive they are the sooner it will come.

I am sure people used to think the USSR would last forever, too. After all, how could people rise up when every free thinker was being worked to death in a Gulag?

Just missing the green food coloring and it’s Andre3000’s order

You’re not going to beat the Chinese government by being worse than them. You beat them by helping the Chinese figure out the Chinese Government is bad. By being worse than them you just set yourself up to be destroyed the same way they will be.

“They” this “they” that, is this also the faceless them who own the banks lol? The vast majority, everyone minus a rounding error, endorsed Mamdani and were excited by his victory in the DNC. We’re lucky to have him, like a second Bernie Sanders but not even Bernie runs on the DNC ticket outside of presidential primaries we invite him to participate in.

This guy is the perfect example of why we cannot trust somebody won’t pull the lever.

Would they not simply be trapped tied to the tracks until a nonexistent remaining person makes a choice? Also you’re trusting that 32nd person not to kill just under 5 billion people.

Look, if you stand before a hundred people in a room and two of them disavow you and then people started publishing stories that the entire room was against you: do you think that would be a fair portrayal? Or do you think it’s just people trying to divide the room into camps?

“Data that does’t fit your obviously bullshit narrative” being the number of days it took a single DNC politician to endorse Zohran Mamdani? Man, what a hill to die on.

Fuck if I know, or care, feel free to go count the days.

We here on the left don’t worship our politicians so it may surprise you to learn we’re not heartbroken about Jeffries or Schumer saying some shit we didn’t like.

It being a real football player probably made a lot of people’s day.

The logic that nobody would ever die as long as nobody ever pulls falls through when you realize after 33 cycles you’re risking the entire human population on the whims of a stranger and that irrational actors will always exist.

It becomes not if but when.

It was so good he got hired to do a Paramount commercial about it and according to an interview people on the street would yell out “AY AY RON” when they see him.
