This is why I don’t fuck guys who “don’t pay attention to politics”.

That means one thing, and it isn’t that they are blissfully unaware of the day to day happenings in their town, county, state, region, country, or planet of residence.

I had to buy a printer recently. I intentionally went through all the information i could to find out which manufacturers pull this trick and bought their competitor instead.

George Jetson had an 17 minute work day with 2 hours a week and could afford a house, a hover car, a robot maid, enough money for his wife to spend the day shopping on top of household needs, enough extra to take care of a dog, and STILL enough leftover to allow elroy to be involved in extracurricular activities and to take the family on a vacation to the moon.

I worked two jobs at 50-60 hours a week and could only afford to rent a 1 bed apartment with almost nothing left over.

I wish I had came of age in that period of post war optimism that inspired that cartoon.

Edit: the Jetson’s takes place in the year 2062, we still have ~38 years or so to ensure our children can achieve that

I didn’t have a wide array of choices, as I had a selection of printers in front of me at a brick and mortar store, but I went with the Brother HL-L2325DW. They offer a subscription (I don’t mind an optional convenience and monetization method) but they don’t disable your printer or force you to buy it.

It came with a full sized toner cartridge at about 3,000 pages compared to the “demo cartridge” most printers will give you with the unit, and it worked out of the Box with CUPS and Linux, and was supported by Brother for Windows and Mac.

Wildly enough there was a Linux utility too from Brother, but I didn’t need it.

This explains the brief wave of “Weaponized IRS” memes in late 2019 and early 2020 by “alleged Russian troll farms”.

I already don’t like Microsoft or its products, but how in the Holy Fuck is that legal? You can’t at least use the edge on Xbox for that same functionality?

Kids these days don't even know this can of fucking beans... smh

For a second I thought this was grafo

Ayyy!

Even better when you talk them through that and watch them realize we will never go back to that post war economy because America can’t compete with a global stage that wasn’t bombed into oblivion by the Nazis.

Party of fiscal responsibility…

Just reminds me of how In 2016 a business owner friend of mine was saying that conservatives have more respect for the country and its institutions and that you would never see them crying and throwing a hissy fit about losing an election.

GOP principals and convictions age like milk in the sun.

Why don’t we put them in artificial wombs at the expense of the state and create a child army? Then when they age out of the military they can have full citizenship! /s

There is a whole instance at lemmynsfw.com with a plethora of communities for NSFW materials.

Yeah, that’s another one of those.

I’ve never had anyone who said politics and religion aren’t good conversation actually be worth having those conversations with. Everyone else from every other walk of life has no problem having a nuanced conversation about that stuff, it’s only ever WASPs that get all indignant and force everyone else to stop talking.

One of my coworkers had asked something about trans people and bathrooms, and I started to say my piece, but mid sentence the owner comes back like “under no circumstances are you allowed to have this conversation here”.

Oh yeah, so threatening to say that I don’t care who is in what bathroom if they don’t do anything that violates another guests bodily autonomy.

So controversial and brave.

We’ve spent plenty of time talking about the different racist inspired restaurants in the area and the deplorable dog whistle specials they offer, never cared about that offending anyone.

The restaurant in question was the MoonCricket Grille, and they were offering $0.49 Bud lights after the outrage about them in honor of the 49 who died at the Pulse nightclub.

I hate this place…

How disgusting, the fact that such an affront to the functioning of western civilization is celebrated here is really telling. I can’t believe that something so vile could be accepted here, even as a meme.

I mean, the bitch established a poll tax calculated based on how many people live with you, adding an unfair undue burden on working folks disenfranchising them of their rights and further consolidating the power of the people into the hands of wealthy folks.

That caricature of a villain stole milk from children, quite literally.

Nice fox though.

For how expensive that is it better be fucking great.

I don’t mind shelling out for nicer ingredients, especially with sugars like honey or getting real maple syrup.

Roe V. Wade was predicated on the constitutional right to privacy, ya dunce. The argument was always about privacy.

Edit to point out, apparently I hurt the feelings of 2 of those “Facts don’t care about your feelings” folks by pointing out facts. Melt snowflakes 🔥❄️🔥

What’d you find?

Yup, sounds like my local community “Facebook Rant and Rave” group.

I don’t think it’s justified to go after a minority because they are a minority, and if you have to come up with a good justified reason to attack a minority it’s probably just because you wanted to attack that group instead of an actual moral reason, especially if you give a pass to your in group buddies for the same shit you attack the minority group for.
