Vibes based political outcomes by people who only believe what they’re told

I said the first time he was elected that, love him or hate him, you have to admit that he is an accurate caricature of America.

Are we cooked, Chat?

I feel it. My back was spasming so hard that my right leg was an inch and a half shorter than my left because the muscles were cramped that hard and wouldn’t release.

I swear roberts only makes good decisions to build up capital for the bad ones.

When it first happened the doctor asked my pain level and gave me a look when I said “10.” So I explained that I was doing everything I could to not be actively groaning/sobbing/screaming out loud because society reacts poorly to huge dudes behaving like that. That I’d spent most of the drive over screaming in my car. That I’d puked a few times the night before from pain.

I finally summed it up as, “if you tell me now that I’ll still feel like this in two weeks, I will go home and kill myself. Because that’s my estimate of how long I can endure this.”

Ended up getting into a physical therapist and eventually got cortisone shots. Fixed most of it, thank god

Weed is illegal and minorities get arrested for it more because Nixon wanted to create more felons to stop people from voting for Democrats. Because in his view mostly only hippies and minorities smoked weed or used other hallucinogens, and those people overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.

The slavery is a bonus, but that was the real reason.

We should be so lucky

Do…do you think those dots are to scale?

No that’s what data claims, I wrote a paper about this last year and did a bunch of research for it.

The coolest thing about Space X is that it knocked about 100 million dollars off the cost of putting a satellite in orbit. More, if you consider the possibility of multiple small satellites sharing a launch to a similar orbit.

This enabled many, many small research companies to begin developing satellites for Earth and atmospheric imaging which is advancing our ability to collect precise data about things like greenhouse gas emissions.

Fuck Musk, absolutely, but a lower barrier to entry to putting things in space absolutely has utility.

Elon Musk watched The Expanse, looked at the Belters, and thought to himself, “Yes, this is the ideal human living condition.”

With a few million people it doesn’t even need to be a specific bank. It would cause an enormous problem. Especially since we’re used to assets being digital these days. Request enough actual physical cash and it would rapidly reach a breaking point.

It’s also winter and pretty much every facet of our society is designed to prevent it from occuring.

Mass Protests happened during Covid because everyone was at home. You can be sure they won’t make that mistake again, no matter the cost.

I am also Spartacus. We are all Spartacus. It couldn’t have been her, I saw her somewhere else. I think with you.

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that the RNC got hacked in 2016 alongside the DNC, but the material was never released. That event coincides with the pivot Republicans made toward being pro-russia.

It really is the most ancient point of sale methodology I’ve seen in the last fifteen years or so.

Ah yes, the famous prison yards where I can go participate in the slave auctions and literally purchase people as property. I get your point, but they’re really not the same.

The state of the prison system is awful but this comparison really feels like it minimizes the horrors of chattel slavery.

And also to get people accustomed to the idea of participating in mass actions. You don’t go from barely having protests to a multi week general strike in one go. You do things like this, first.

I knew I’d get this comment. And you’re not wrong, that is the case. But I’m referring to it being fully legal and accepted. Like open-air slave market level.
