Sacha plays a bloodthirsty Mossad agent that trolls US politicians into saying stupid bloodthirsty shit. I thought that was funny when it came out, but in hindsight SBC is super racist. Fuck em all, free Palestine

1 Don’t share with the guy that comes up and asks for a hit.
2 You will need a knife because I bet that guy is actually trying to stab you and steal your crack.
3 Trust nobody, not even yourself
4 Sell the knife to that guy or trade it to him for his crack
5 (bonus step) If he doesn’t have any crack, You stab that guy

Yeah he was literally raped to death with a knife on Camera and she is on record stating she laughed when she watched… Even just the Wikipedia page breakdown of his death is enough to make the common person wince, it’s no wonder these people were eating babies with Epstein or whatever. Sickest people on the planet and it’s not even close.

The big deal to me is they signed up for a job that kills and rapes kids, people, and is directly responsible for the industrial complex of killing brown people and kids. They should have adequate shelter and food and water like everyone else but should be shunned by society just like all US military members and vets. Like prison isn’t enough for these psychos but I don’t believe in capital punishment.

AOC and Mamdani Should Stop Throwing the Black Lives Matter Movement Under the Bus

No, no, you already told this person it’s a side battle that’s able to take a backseat just to get the DSA in that position, now you’re backtracking saying they’re the only ones that will do anything. This person is proving that you, the voting base for the DFL/DSA, will toss these issues to the side and pretend to care and when faced with it you will move on to lie and say the DSA are focused on it.
So which is it, are they picking and choosing their “side battles to win the war” or are these issues not just side issues and what we actually should be voting for?
Because if you aren’t voting on the “side battles” but these people are “the only people able to get into a position to change it” then why are we even voting for them if they don’t fight the battles you’ve listed as “side battles”?? See how you’re moving the goalposts more and more right to defend the candidates instead of defending the positions themselves?

lol smoking already makes me tired by 10pm, even on my nights off, drinking any more than a beer or a small glass at home is enough to put me asleep by 11. Not that a full nights sleep is bad, I just don’t have trouble sleeping, really ever.
If I’m out it’s a little different, especially live music/big concert always keeps me going late, but even at the bar on a weekend night I get HELLA tired by midnight. I do smoke a lot of weed though I usually guess that’s what does it.
Should mention I get up for work at 6am, which isn’t that early for some but it’s early for me

So your gotcha argument is that the left is divided because people don’t accept “just to the left of Hitler”? That wouldn’t be something worth accepting. That wouldn’t be a “good thing to enjoy” in the slightest.
I don’t understand why that would be a good thing, if you exploit and kill people because you’re just a little left of Hitler why should you get my support or even my vote? Libs love doing this, “Left is divided!!!! Because MARXISTS!!!!!!” “”Ideological purity test”” bs but then you slander our (leftists’) actual political ideology in favor of electoralism that doesn’t even work out in the end for us. And I want to cause infighting?? Do you see how childish it is to point fingers at people holding fire to politicians who we pay to serve us even if they are “on the left”
I want every US candidate to be a Mamdani, an AOC, Ilhan Omar, because maybe we could actually extract concessions out of them. But to do that we actually have to try, keep showing up in their faces and on the streets and keep organizing to the left of them to get the exact concessions we need from them.
That won’t stop just because the DSA gets elected, we have to hold the politicians that we vote for accountable for their wrongdoings. No more complacency! If you want reform to actually work you have to be willing to get mean and force reform out of your politicians. There’s a whole argument that this isn’t possible under capitalism but in the spirit of your “let them get shit done” mentality I’m willing to entertain the goals. Again I would love for my right counterparts to be those like the DSA and then the dems, but they’ve proven over and over they can’t even take over the Democratic Party itself just yet.

It’s very clear that the more fundamental sections of the left are unwilling and unprepared to do this work which is why they remain on the outside looking in. All you are doing is quite literally ensuring none of your ideas ever see the light of day
So I’m unwilling to compromise on things like: Defund/Abolish police & ICE, force huge companies to bow to their unions instead of letting them bust & close down entire shops after unionizing, hard line anti Zionist positions from the bottom up (no compromising or working alongside them in any capacity), NO WAR OR WAR FUNDING (non military aid only), etc. some Dems are straight up running on pro war pro US imperialism (Flanagan, MN)
This is what the DSA is running on, They claim to be the ones to put the policies I actually believe in forth, and the voter base (people like you) will constantly move the goal posts when YOUR PARTY is the one “unwilling to do the work”. I’m willing to fight for these candidates to get a seat in wherever they show up as long as they talk the talk (and aren’t a veteran fuck you platner).
We have to keep pushing beyond that, otherwise people like you will brush police violence into being a “side battle” (your own words) and then call people childish when you try to act like you care about it after calling it a side battle not worth focusing on to get the seat. All we worry about on the left is making these politicians serve us. They won’t unless you force them to, DSA or not.

You have to remember a lot of kids (I say kids and I am only 27) younger than 30 don’t remember a world before social media or we got exposed majorly at like age 10-12 because our parents didn’t give a shit and also had zero computer literacy and therefore didn’t understand the legit consequences of letting kids online all the time. Like yeah your Gen X parents know how to post their backyard ring camera footage and baby monitor recordings on FB and instagram now? My boomer parents barley know how to work a TV remote and they’re pirating all their movies/tv now. Also still paying for cable? I digress…
I had a smartphone when I was like 14, now kids are trained on smartphones and tablets before they can even walk. I’m serious it’s 1000x harder for them to ask for something in real words than send an instant message.

Little free libraries are awesome. I love putting stuff in there and seeing it’s been taken & replaced. I put a lot of zine type stuff in them. The thought of people destroying them just for giggles or because they personally oppose them is sickening. It’s free books and food! You have to be a monster to oppose that.

Idaho mother who claimed her toddler twins died after being vaccinated now faces murder charges
Another big sad part of this is that the typical Anti-vax person would read this and think it’s still the vaccines that killed those kids and also that the parents are being blamed to be silenced/framed for big pharma. There’s no amount of medical evidence that could convince someone that vaccines aren’t dangerous because they’ve already read books by non-doctors telling them they’d be stupid for “believing in vaccines”. If anyone tries to give me Aaron Siri’s book again I’ll prob laugh at them though I should have the first time. I’m not having kids tho so apparently I’m not important enough to indoctrinate 😂

Driver facing camera in cars
Reply in thread
I don’t see why a vehicle needs to connect to the internet at all. Or have a screen whatsoever. I don’t understand why a car can’t just be a thing with a gear shift and a fucking steering wheel that drives from point A to point B
We're being sold this idea of a car being like, a mobile family home or comfort space away from home. But the thing is, cars before 2015-ish were actually kinda comfy. Now they look and feel like robots. Kinda sickening. They all look so fucking ugly too every car is the same ugly round van/SUV shape now.

lol. He doesn’t build rockets. He was born into a position where he could eventually force himself on multiple shareholder boards, usually as the biggest (aka the boss). Sorry to be that asshole but that’s a strange way of saying he bought into a rocket company. He hasn’t ever designed a single thing
