You could not more wrong. American capitalism is the worst form of capitalism in the world. It is only attractive to people from truly desperate situations.

This is always the Libertarian shitpost response: “you’re free to do what you want” because you don’t recognize economic coercion. It’s a perfectly OK form of limiting freedom. Fuck off.

The kabuki performance that is international diplomacy is almost never dropped, but in this case, it is justified, and the world should line up with Zelenskyy.

Yay, we got him! That’s the game, folks, we caught Trump in a lie.

Because men are babies.

Bullshit. They’ve been accepting deportees for years. They objected to the treatment and military transport of deportees, and refused those. They each threatened tarriffs, and then Trump agreed to treat them like human beings and send them home on commercial flights, like has always been done.

Stop making it sound like Trump’s strongman tactics are doing anything.

Brave has never had a good look.

There are always upvotes for people saying that everything is solvable with a perfect moral stance. There are always downvotes for anyone saying “political realities exist”.

And with Putin’s crotchwasher Trump back as POTUS, the US will do nothing and say nothing about it.

Those are non-routed IP blocks. 127.0.0.1 is the machine you’re on, the localhost.

They all have annoyances when you don’t do what they want. I want a TV that doesn’t want anything.

I continue to look for dumb tvs, but there are precious few. They’re either small, or big outdoor monitors. I want an awesome screen TV that’s dumb as dirt.

The oligarchy of the US has made Musk feel too strong, too powerful. The rest of the world isn’t quite there, as odd as that sounds.

Too many commenters here do not understand anything about how any of it works, especially how first past the post voting works. Progressives do not seem to understand that the system has not rejected them, but the voters have.

It is mostly relentless propaganda for the oligarchs that has captured the country. That’s the problem, and it is not fixed by any of the suggestions here.

You need to look up Komar & Melamid. They did market research art, and they commissioned “The Least Favorite Song” after a survey that showed the least favorite features of songs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People’s_Choice_Music#The_Most_Unwanted_Song

SQL does pair well with getting drunk…

My mantra: “Behold, the field in which I grow my fucks, and see that it is barren.”

No, he’s accusing them of being what he is, a time-honored tactic that Trump also utilizes.

“Free” does not mean “unregulated”. Fire in a crowded theater. Everyone who flogs the free speech argument in the service of promoting fascism can fuck right off.

Email has taken 25 years to get people that comfortable with it, and most folks either go with their ISP email, or one of 3 or 4 providers. Discord, you’re already in the tech savvy population.
