I have empathy for them, I have to ask if they have empathy at all. Trump issued a Muslim ban by executive action to get around congress, targetting middle east and african states, then he moved the US embassy in Israel without reciprocating such action for Palestine.

The choices you’re saying were made and logic behind them do not add up. This isn’t telling Jewish people to support Hitler. This is telling them to vote against Hitler for their sake and others, only for them to not show up to the polls and expect to hide out. Let me check my history books to see how that turned out…

They had three options.

1. Vote for the imperfect candidate who has at least been pushing peace deals and not leaving options off the table to achieve that.

2. Vote for the candidate who has promised unfaltering support for the aggressor and already proven time and time again they don’t care if non-white people die.

3. Vote third party, or don’t vote at all, ensuring candidate 2’s unthinking base would go uncontested and lead to outcome #2 anyways.

There is no fourth option, and there is no option aside from #1 that had a chance of success in terms of ending the genocide and seeing to the needs of the survivors.

So if there is anyone who really did choose not to vote because the current administration’s policy on Palestine/Gaza and treatment of those people, congratulations on going from anger at someone standing by and not stopping a genocide to 100% ensuring the next person will enable it to completion.

So again, congratulations on that morale victory, hope they don’t pat themselves too hard on the back while standing next to the bodies.

Great job electing the person to office who’se the best bet for ensuring it goes from attempted genocide to complete extermination. Pat your back for upholding your morales.

“Cops are can tell if you’re intoxcitated without tests.”

Mother fuckers can’t even tell if a person is a threat to their life despite showing no hostile intention, weapon or anything but cooperation.

How did that whole revelations anti-christ thing go again? /S

I’m not endorsing mass doxxing people regardless of circumstances. Buuuut it would be hilarious.

If you make a couple million dollars as a middle class person, without familial connections, you’ve at best committed fraud on a massive scale, or been involved in something highly illegal.

Median income in the US is between 37K and 80K depending where you look and what figures you use. At 80K, it would take a person 12.5 years to make a million dollars. That’s not paying taxes, not paying living expenses, and generally somehow living in a bubble where you owe nothing and get to keep 100% of the check. In a more realistic scenario where half that income is taxed or expended on living expenses, that’s 25 years per million.

Between inflation and price gouging by vendors and retailers of popular products, nobody alive today with a middle class job is ever going to have a hope of saving up a million dollars, there is no ‘lifestyle’ choices a person can make even with a well paying job that’s ever going to see them become a millionaire in their lifetime, let alone a multimillionaire without fraud or illegal activity.

Acquiring birds.

Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I’ll pos this question here:

What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?

Surely the tankies will take notice of fhis and… Ha, no. They still say Kamala supports genocide despite her being the only candidate pushing for peace.

Little column a, little column b. He also routinely ignored their advice when it came to basically anything. He bought his own propaganda hard, insisting german troops go on suicide missions or follow timetables that weren’t realistic even with the entire division on meth.

Humans have uncanny valley, dogs have poofy head syndrome.

What ancient danger did we evovle defensive instincts and predatory fears of?

Health Insurance needs to not exist and Universal Healthcare juts cover all the stuff people need to stay healthy and live productive lives. From sexual healthcare to mental healthcare and of course medicine and anything else you’d need to see a doctor or medical professional for.

The cheapskate nepotist who has better relationships with dictators from authoritarian regimes than statesman from his own country is absolutely full of shit when it comes to giving Americans the best deal possible. The fact that the USMCA didn’t turn into a dumpster fire was over Trump’s own protestations to things the negotiators forced in to not yank the rug out from consumers.

We’re still dealing with the after effects of his numerous Trade Wars and unjust Tariffs. Anyone thinks Trump gives a damn about American workers needs to wake up and stop drinking the kool-aid.

You might as well be watching videos on witchcraft. /s

We are not going out to eat often if I gotta wait for the perfect photo. You better get the waiter to take you back to the kitchen if you want snapshots of the food before I see it and take a bite.

I hope you like documentaries about completely random shit from politics of a foreign nation over 300 years ago, to how an obscure campaign of a war over a hundred years ago was fought, a full biography of a fictional character and what events they may have been witness to, to a plethora of asmr things as background noise, engineering deep dives and video game related content.

Technically yes, as there are many definitions. But practically, no. Tthe commonly accepted and popular definitions break down with the working class being those without college degrees, those who’se living expenses and day to day expenses is most if not all of their income, where another common definition specifically list unskilled labourers, artisans, outworkers, and factory workers as working class.

We’re going to run into a crisis within our life time whether we like it or not. Within 10-20 years, possibly longer if legislation somehow hampers it, pretty much the entire working class will be unemployable because machine labor will be cheaper and more readily available than any human. Yes, some people will still have jobs, but not the working class.

Long before we have a crisis of too many elderly for the working to care and provide for, we are going to have a crisis of not enough jobs paying a liveable wage for one, let alone a family, because corporations are going to be able to replace large swathes of their workforces with machines that cost less to maintain per unit than minimum wage, so why would they ever hire a person?
