Please join me and fast for 24 hours! And pray!

Literally everyone, looking at their calendar wondering when they are supposed to take 24hours to starve themselves for… For what?

Seriously even if this actually helped the situation his privilege isn’t just showing, it’s flopping around while his panties are around his ankles. Who has 24 consecutive hours a week for this BS?

How do I change instances? I think I’m on this one and I want off.

What’s the problem? The surgeon I assume knows the timeline (which the insurance company came up with via decades of expertise), they just need to work faster.

F-ing ~s in case it’s needed…

Yeah wait doesn’t he look like the really good looking guy meme?

Practical and hardly any fun, I’d start looking for a local charity I trust. I have one in mind but I’d get a lawyer and hire a couple experts I trust on charity management and basically private detective them.

Once I had one charity I was happy with I’d start feeding it what it needs. In this example, it’s a local food bank style community center, so I could blow that place up with maybe 10 million.

I’d be fairly involved for the next 6-12 months as things got going, while also researching and finding the next, larger scale charities. Most of the money would sit in fairly safe investment accounts and depending on what I learned over the first 1-2 years I’d try and have it all out into the world within 15 years.

When I signed the last cheque for the last couple million, I’d hope to have a coalition of well funded, well run charities all over the world that would have the cashflow to maintain their new service levels and the oversight to continue that good work for the next 100 years.

" Some of this piracy (and make no mistake, that’s what it is) "

Says who? What authority does this writer have to declare blurry, poor audio quality shakey cam video of a movie theatre screen with dozens of people singing in the foreground “piracy”?

From my perspective, piracy would be taking and selling (or personally viewing in place of paying and viewing) something someone else made. None of these videos are meant to replace seeing the movie, nor will they.

I cannot wait to see Wicked, I’ve seen the musical 4 times in my life. Except there is no way I’m going to watch a movie in a theatre setting with other randos singing or generally being shitty people.

Am I cobbling together all the tictoc clips and watching that? No. Because that’s not the product they are selling. I’ll wait for it to come out on streaming.

These videos are not piracy.

Why do you think it won’t happen?

I’d like to pile on. You don’t owe them an apology and you don’t owe them an unapology. You are done wasting your time on them and if they ever come around like "you know, I think I finally accept your apology " you can think to your self “oh my no, get fucked” and you can inform them with… Radio silence

Sadly Canada also has never elected a woman to that position. We had one via retirement/internal leadership ballot very briefly as often happens when things go in the shitter and no man wants to take the job because it’s a Kobayashi Maru. She and her party were then obliterated. Not because their policies were shit and Canada was tired of them, but because you can’t have a woman Prime Minister.

I am unsure how much or what part of that needs a ~s

Thanks for that.

I found that article very confusing to read.

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true.

But it is. Oh it is.

Is there a YouTube video that explains to me how we can’t know who sent those texts. Somebody paid for that number (not the spoofed number, they actually had to have one to be connected to the lines right?). How can spoofing happen without the carrier knowing/enabling? Your carrier used their lines to deliver it to you. How is this not trackable?

I want a 1h26 minute Technology Connections or whoever, because this has never made sence to me.

I agree. Nearly every lyric in that song, when isolated, sounds fine and agreeable. Even when he attacks people on welfare “if you’re 5’- 3 and 300lbs, taxes ought not to pay, for your bags of fudge rounds.” Isn’t wrong.

Taxes shouldn’t be used by fat cats to get fatter. But he isn’t saying that. He is punching down and attacking a group of people who are suffering in “the new world” just like him, and a fucking bag of cookies is one of the few joys they can still aquire. He could have chosen to attack the elite, even if he only meant the ones to the North. He didn’t.

“It’s a damn shame, what the world’s gotten to, for people like me, and people like you.”

Sounds great. Now picture his audience. Who are they, and who are they thinking of when they hear that line?

This song is called “Richmen North of Richmond.” It’s the Northerner’s fault all these bad things are happening.

It’s that movie with Rowdy Piper and the glasses. You have to put them on to see the whole message. Dog whistling at its finest.

If he had made a few small changes it could have been a powerful pro-worker lament and I would be playing it to death. Instead it was #11 on Trump’s “Standing on the stage for 44 minutes swaying back and forth because America is so easy to con so why not?”

It’s a damn shame.

Thank you.

“The south lost and slavery is bad, kindly get fucked.”

Sorry as a Canadian and a woman I just can’t not be polite…

Richmen North of Richmond.

I love the sound, and at first it sounds like a pro worker union song (and it kinda is).

But there’s way too much dog whistle… An old soul in a new world… Dude the south lost and slavery is bad. I’m sorry

And then he slips in some super disappointing language about fat people on welfare.

They are pronounced the same though?? I hope??

I’m quite certain what you need to do is get every one else voting. That’s kind of how the whole thing is supposed to work.

I haven’t heard anything but mockery about the “Democrats control the weather” thing. Are there Lemmy communities that have actual idiots spouting this? Other than the few famous trolls who are basically doing a bit at this point?

So I was gonna make fun of her without reading the article. But I stopped myself and read it.

Student wants to have a republican club, at a Historically black university. In order to be recognised officially by the uni you need a staff member with 3 years at the uni to sign of/endorse your club. She has emailed at least 2 faculty and both have declined. She does not say how many she has reached out to or in what way. Everyone should feel so sad for this poor woman who just wants to be heard!

No I kidd. She’s a whiner and an idiot looking for attention. She says she has met with 3 other students a few times unofficially, yet the minimum to be recognised officially as a group is 10. So even if she could get a sign off by a faculty, she doesn’t have enough people interested in her garbage to qualify anyways (my soul brightens just slightly at this thought)

And why is she emailing random faculty? How many classes is she taking? Did she ask each of those professors, in person? Seems like she is trying to raise a stink without putting in any of the work. Wahhhhh! you won’t recognise my shitty club! Help help I’m being oppressed!

The only smart thing in that whole article was the thought that in order to change the GOP you need people in it who aren’t shitba… Excuse me, who represent all walks of life and colours of skin. But frankly, that’s a looooooong game to be playing…
