Yeah, and it’s an important part of the insult that it works on the bad people only because they are bad people to begin with. It’s fun like that.
And it even does that in a multifaceted way! It calls bigots gay and it calls magalomaniacs subservient and weak.
Lawful Good versus Chaotic Good.
The way “FREE SPEECH” is up at the top, it looks like it’s labeling the rain going past his shield, while he is blocking the rest.
That’s exactly how the image reads to me, lol.
I’m going to take a guess that throwing away little cheap plastic shakers each month costs less than paying a person to clean and refill them.
So into the landfill they flow!
The US is like the Two-Face or Jekyll/Hyde of developed nations. It’s more like a developing nation with islands of modernity AND Walmarts.
We have all this money, military, cultural influence, universities, businesses, and so many other by-the-numbers indicators of a modern society. But we don’t have the quality of life, and we just elected Donald Trump in goddamn 2024. Decisively so. Fuck.
Ugh, I definitely don’t have the bandwidth to support anything beyond the year graham’s number.
Well the USA is on Earth so obviously the earth calendar is the default.
Not hearing the difference is absolutely a thing. I took a university class on the nature of language and I still have clear memories of some of the example videos we watched when we studied the phenomenon. It’s a very “how is this possible” kind of feeling.
Iirc it just depends on the language(s) you spoke while developing. You could probably hear the difference when you were very little.
And unfortunately, some weapons only work on the power. Like insurance hoops and red tape to delay or deny necessary health care.
Mint: come for the ease of installation and use, stay because it’s just Ubuntu and Debian under the hood so it has tons of support, and the terminal is right there if you need to out so some real shit.
I think mine doesn’t roll off the tongue in quite the same way.
I mean, the assassin did leave over 99% of CEOs still alive, and hopefully the message will make its way there.
Oh no, I sure hope some foreign dictator doesn’t start wiping out our insurance CEOs. As an American man I would feel so owned by such decisive and thick-shafted tactics.
I mean, what if all the right wing crazies in my midst start targeting evil people instead of innocent children?
The fact that many people have never met a trans person (that they know of, right?) is a big part of why they make such a great bogeyman for conservatives.
Working to correct that should probably involve exposing those people to a larger variety of other humans. Unforunately I think they already “know” that humanity, much like education, the media, and the internet, has a known liberal bias and cannot be trusted.
Don’t underestimate the value of the “I’m going to wander outside for a couple minutes” break on your well being!
I’m sitting here realizing that my big hobby project of the past few years — a koi pond in my back yard — is essentially a reason to just go outside and chill.
Mint is basically Ubuntu without the controversial bits.
I don’t know if he started it, but I’ve heard Musk use that phrase so I’m sure it helps the deplorables feel like real galaxy brains for hating the right people.
Plus the “lake lovers” should probably be extended over to at least include the city that shares a name with one of those lakes. (Erie, PA)
Sure, but the people who need to see this message are the ones who fell all over themselves to vote for the convicted felon on pre-sentencing release who tried to overthrow the government after the last election.
Asking them to form a sensible opinion based on hundreds of pages describing how they’re going to fuck over anybody who isn’t a rich white man — it just feels orders of magnitude more complicated and subtle than whether it makes sense to vote for the criminal who has betrayed the country and insulted service members multiple times.
Literal career assassins? Could this dumb world get THAT cyberpunk?
