That isn’t a bad idea. If they truly plan to gut the federal government and reduce its income, this will have an outsized effect on funds available for the red shithole states. Let the blue states band together to provide for their citizens while those who wanted this can wallow in their own shit.

I’m sure the man who orchestrated a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa will do a fine job with our public health policy.

I don’t care who “leads” clean tech. This isn’t a dick swinging, nor measuring contest. We need to stop emitting greenhouse gasses and even remove some from the atmosphere, as well as deacidify the oceans of possible. It won’t matter who had the biggest gangrene dick if we all cook to death, it just needs to get done. Holy fucking shit, if there’s a perfect argument against intelligent design, the existence of humans is it.

TELL ME ABOUT THE OVARIES! I MUST KNOW ABOUT THE OVARIES!

While I agree in principle with the lawsuit, it is interesting that this is the game that people are suing over. I heard the hype and downloaded the crew 2 and it was complete dogshit of a game. I don’t mean from the perspective of finish, just the that the game, as intended, sucked ass. This isn’t the only ubisoft game like this, I don’t know how they manage to generate so much hype and fanfare around these tuberculosis vomit games over and over again.

I can respect that, but also respect that people will find it empty and confusing, especially because it isn’t corporate, so there is no funnel to get the rolling. They have to be motivated enough to seek all of that information out and as much as people use social media, it isn’t that important to them.

I don’t use mastodon, but yes, people are use to social media doing everything for you. Youtube is probably the greatest example of a service that will spoonfeed you content with little to no input from the user. My understanding of mastodon is that you have to know what you’re looking for to find content.

Valid, though in some cases dark, points. The US is one of, if not the largest, per capita emitters on the planet, though. Our military alone is a top emitter. I just find the outlook for meaningful change in this country grim and the effects we’ve already begone to see from climate change are pretty severe.

So…uh…is everyone ready to join those of us slandered as “doomers” in reality now? Nothing of significance has been done or is being done, and this problem is not going away. It is only going to get worse. Unless everyone joins us in reality, it is over. I’m not exactly hopeful, as the “I hate all science” party just swept both houses, along with the presidency and they already had the courts.

I wasn’t surprised by this outcome in the least. Nobody with any knowledge of this country’s history or regular interaction with much of the trash that inhabits it should have been either. If you’re still confused, look at the exit poll breakdowns by demographics.

Gonna take a two month breather?

Coked up on ketamine…🤔

I see many folks here mentioning Dave Chapelle as a right-wing comedian, which is a joke in itself. Dave Chapelles’ personal politics and much of the politics mentioned in his stand-up are not right-wing. He has a blend of center right/center left beliefs and supports progressive candidates. I understand there is controversy with his LGBTQ+ material and commentary, but that does not make all of his politics right-wing. This strikes me as coming from people who have little exposure to the black American community, where these attitudes are prevalent regardless of the individuals’ other politics. It is slowly improving, but it isn’t great. Frankly, I don’t know why it is he continues to antagonize and harp on this for hours at a time. It is very strange and I know he’s capable of much funnier material.

I could see that in some areas. I rarely feel the need to do this myself, but there are occasions where it does make sense.

Yes, my understanding it’s it usually isn’t at restaurants, however. That’s all I was pointing out. This Applebee’s “joke” was just bizarre.

Yeah, it’s after 9 or 10pm, I forget. They have music, lights, and drink specials.

There should be a name for this. “The constituent letter” or “The Pelosi kiss” or maybe “The MAGA crayon.”

I didn’t say it couldn’t, just that it is improbable for myriad reasons. Not many beverage druggings occurring in well lit, highly staffed, low customer restaurants. Unless the drugger was in this person’s group, it would be pretty unusual.

While I certainly don’t think it should be a crime, 90% of the time I see people do it, they are near crosswalks and continue to walk towards them after dangerously playing frogger. What is the motivation? Why are you increasing the danger? Doesn’t make any sense.
