The 2 party system is horseshit, but this is your recurring reminder that the greens are not worth your vote.

Any party serious about affecting change does so at the local level first. The fact that the greens consistently try to get attention with symbolic candidacies at the national level while being fuck all out of touch with school boards and local politics paints them as diva opportunists at best and bad faith progressive spoilers at worst.

This is coming from someone who agrees with most of West's platform at face value

I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity

Most people don't last long in death camps.

They're basically admitting it's a death camp.

I thought this crazy energy consumption shit would cool off a bit after assholes stopped bitcoin mining.

Glad AI stepped up so we can generate bad art and prose while buttfucking the planet

I'm just going to deadname Twitter and ask why some of you assholes are still on there

If only they'd put his name in the freaking headline. Give him some easy name recognition...

Shit. Where are people going to tell Spez to fuck himself now?

I'm very much pro-union, but meanwhile artists and creators who made that content in the first place are getting fucked by everyone

I'm a former musician and record label employee who's been screaming "told you so" for years. I stopped paying attention to the pittance I get in streaming revenue because it impacts my life that little.

I hope the writers get what they're owed, but don't hold your fucking breath

Instagram is absolute garbage compared to how it used to be. It's still massive. Once people are hooked, it's hard to wean them off. People were livid at reddit, but only a fraction of those who spoke up are here

Japan is another world. When I was traveling there, I remember seeing dots on the highways so as to space your interval with the car in front of you. Another person in my group started laughing because that would be ignored in the US but the guy driving was confused and couldn't fathom not following that rule. He was like, "why wouldn't you do that?"

Ah yes. Renowned bastion of morality: the US Military.

Satire is dead

Rosenblatt was fired in 2020 after texting “ha ha” in response to a picture sent to him by other officers, one of whom appeared to be administering a chokehold near a memorial for McClain.

Can't reform this

Funny how these neither right nor left types always seem to skew a certain way

There is a 100% chance this warning correlates with the actual content on this site being hot garbage

Why do people still pay attention to this blowhard? He was a smarmy asshole even when I agreed with him. Now he's leaning into right wing culture war shit to try to remain relevant.

Yep. Same. I do pretty good for myself and I'm more fortunate than most, but I had to borrow money from my dad recently for a series of expenses I couldn't absorb in real time. I got the "you don't know how to budget" sermon. It felt as fun as you'd expect

I said fuck it and gave him a list of earnings and expenses (I'm pretty frugal) and he was like, "oh..."

So Vatican 3 basically.

Back in the day mass was done entirely in Latin and the priest didn't address the congregation. This didn't change until the '60s. Some sects are still pissed off over it

Yeah, this shit is getting old really quickly.

What client I use doesn't affect your experience. I and lots of others are reddit refugees and I used sync for years. I'm ecstatic to have the interface back.

Bullshit gatekeeping and bickering over ideological purity doesn't help anyone. At the end of the day, lemmy is confusing for someone accustomed to reddit. There is a learning curve. Most of us just want to exchange info and converse. I don't give a fuck to learn about FOSS and all that other bullshit any more than any of you want to learn the specialized minutiae I have to sift through at my day job.

Shut the fuck up already. This sort of discourse lands like a bunch of shitty kids meeting at a half empty bar all criticizing how one another got there

Yeah, except the Czech Republic will probably take meaningful steps to ensure it doesn't happen again

I got pulled over a couple of months ago and the cop told me to put it in park. I wiggled the stick back and forth to show it was in neutral and they thought I was fucking with them and kept saying to put it in park. Idiots
