I was not ready for bowling. Thanks for expanding my worldview.

Yeah, she married and dated them. What worse harm is there?

Thanks for adding context and hard evidence to the discussion. Fuck them twice as much for doing it this way. It’s the same amount of sabotage and half the accountability.

I think that’s exactly it. A worst-case scenario for the beneficiaries of that parade would be a completely deserted area with tumbleweeds blowing across the street.

That does make it sound like an existential crisis.

“What does it even mean to be? If I never get downvotes, do I even have an effect on the world? Is there a world? Who am I? Am I me? Will I stop existing when I have zero engagement? Am I just the sum of the perception of others, doomed to non-existence as soon as I’m irrelevant? Is that what death is?”

“So, uh, you said no ketchup on that Jr Bacon Cheesburger?”

“Oh, yeah, that’s right. It hurts my tummy.”

All bets are off at this point, but the “No Kings” event planners have made a point of avoiding that by steering things away from the fascist birthday cabaret performance scheduled for the same date in DC.

It will be a showcase one way or the other.

“US prepares for appropriate response to especially egregious acts.”

She works for a charity that uses old cars to collect used razors and remove africanized honey bees before disposing of the car by crushing it and extracting its metals with acidic electrolysis.

Edit: replied at wrong level. Please downvote. I am.

Her job is the removal of africanized honey bees.

Ah, the crisp, refreshing taste of diet fascism.

Bold of you to assume this about enforcing law (or keeping peace).

This is escalation for the sake of performative leadership. It’s another manufactured crisis. They find a manageable problem under someone else’s purview, exacerbate it, use the escalation to claim the other party is losing control, step in, and pretend to help while the other party solves the problem, then they take credit and walk away. It’s a power grab. Bonus points if it distracts everyone else from the supposed leader’s negligence, incompetence, and outright theft. The Big Beautiful Bill isn’t drawing the same portion of the public’s attention as it was before, is it?

The bullest of shit indeed: enacting cruelty on the vulnerable to enable robbing the overwhelming majority Americans.

This concludes the rant. Thanks for your post. I hope we never stop talking about this and never let future generations forget.

Good point. I guess that’s what I’m trying to figure out.

Thank you. I’ll put that on my agenda. Any suggestions for where to put a post about how the sales of AAA games for Windows is evidence of the superiority of capitalism?

I did not expect a reference to oral porking in a Chakra infogram.

Edit: Did someone take this literally and sincerely? In a science community?

Please don’t correct them. They’re literally already willing to eat shit and die. There’s hardly anything worse most of us would be willing to do to them. Let’s just sit back, watch, and let nature take its course.

Popcorn?

Does Lemmy have a remind me bot? I’d love to revisit this at midterms.
