…. While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers-

I guess maybe? Since technically, he did buy it, right? But this is sort of like calling the cops because someone stole your heroin, isn’t it??

Again… WHY DOES HE HAVE AN APPROVAL RATING?

Accepting this normalizes unelected officials having authority.

I can say from experience that in at least some corners of social media, (LW for example) the removal of “Luigi content” is strictly because a large amount of it is advocations of violence/murder/assasinaion.

On many social media platforms, that type of content is against ToS because of the laws in the country that hosts the platform that the site is located in.

It has little to do with personal opinion and everything to do with staying within the legal threshold of the region to avoid being shut down.

You didn’t vote to protect it, I don’t think you get to claim it. You abandoned it.

Discussion over.

“We?”

I’m going to explain this for you as simply as possible:

So… Imagine a scenario where a driverless car is rolling towards a baby in a carriage. Now imagine there are 10 people, one of them being you- standing about within eyesight of the car that is heading towards the baby-

In this scenario:

The car = trump.
The baby = our democracy.
The 10 people = the only influence able to change the scenario.

Now, what ties this all together to make it more relevant is that we will now give the people standing about the choice to to push the car into the baby, do nothing, or stand in the way of the car in order to stop it.

This means that:

5 people that will push the car into the baby = Trump supporter.
1 person that will do nothing = you.
4 people that will push the car away = Harris voters.

So now… Here we have two groups of people that have no intent whatsoever to help the child in any way. One- directly and the other indirectly- and only one group that is trying to stop the car.

Those standing around watching, (you) could help stop the car- but don’t. Thereby watching the car roll over the child because not enough people helped stop it.

You made the choice to withdraw your help and thereby share in the responsibility.

This is incorrect.

A ghoul behaves independently unto itself and for its own needs and survival. (Think The Walking Dead, The Last of Us). They can be clever, and are typically depicted as adaptive.

I think the word you’re looking for is “zombie.” (Think necromancy, magically risen dead) They are essentially mindless controlled entities. Constructs. They cannot behave independently unto themselves or for their own needs.

Elon is owned. Just like the rest of them. Everything he does is for the benefit of whatever entity that happens to control the static between his ears.

And as I like to say, we used to prescribe cigarettes for asthma. The times will change.

Critics argue this exceeds presidential authority…

They seem to… argue a lot of things. If only arguing enacted change.

And…

Legal analysts predict challenges, citing potential overreach and conflict with congressional authority.

Were these “legal analysts” 12 year old kids? Because this is something so obvious that all It takes is one to notice it.

How can anyone say the word “DOGE” and not feel like a complete tool? I swear, Elon was that guy that was still saying “NOT!” well into the 90’s.

Someone said something that violated the rules. Period. Who it was said to isn’t relevant.

Vinyls don’t really offer any fidelity over digital, that’s mostly confirmation bias from vinylheads owning nicer sound systems

I had to look this up because I thought… “this cannot be true!” But, yeah. Wow… TIL! Thanks for pointing this out!

I tried saying the same thing. It’s clear that they aren’t here to have a reasonable discussion.

Good point. I fixed it.

“Dream”?

Let’s not kid ourselves, it is and always has been an anxiety driven nightmare for anyone that isn’t white, male, and possesses a cognitively fractured moral compass.

I actually remember albums. They were these physical discs that actually existed within our 3D world. Made entirely of vinyl, they played on a modular device designed entirely for their use and their use alone. In comparison, they were close to the same thickness, but considerably larger than even the ancient CD-ROMs were!

And they sounded SOOOOO much better than anything you’ve ever heard.

Grain dust PPM to a person working in a grain dust rich environment ≠ covid particles in every day air, So…. I don’t know why you feel the need to make such a bad faith a comparison of the two.

Additionally, masks of ANY type are helpful as they can assist in the virus containment of the WEARER should they be the one exposed.

Lastly, seriously… How do you not understand that there are two sides to a mask and that air travels in more than one direction through them?
