“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.”

Luigi needs to set up a PAC and announce his campaign for president. I’m not even joking. This covers a lot of sins.

The pattern of speech among conservatives always seems to be “most $negativeAdjective $noun in human history”.

Book bans are about control.

That’s why it appeals to fascists.

This comes up a lot. While Swift might not be able to control concert ticket prices as a whole, she certainly has the influence to make it better. She’s a literal billionaire with a very devout following.

If anyone could hold a concert at a non-ticketmaster venue, it’s her.

If anyone could pay her staff quintuple the going rate, it’s her.

If anyone could lobby cities that hold her concerts accountable for how they treat homeless people, it’s her.

I love Taylor Swift as much as the next person, but she has blood on her hands just like every billionaire. She may be one of the “good” ones but if anyone could afford to do better, it’s her.

You’re on lemmy.world, which defederates faster than other instances.

I left .world a while back. Even with NSFW turned off I still have good content.

I have 6-hour top as my default sort.

The fuck are you still doing on reddit?!

I haven’t looked back since I left and absolutely enjoy Lemmy.

“Don’t half ass two things. Whole ass one thing.”

Politicians but especially rich people seem to forget that when we have nothing to lose, that’s when revolutions happen.

JFK’s quote has been ringing in my head since all this has happened: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

These assholes have stacked our government against us. Sure we have some good eggs but the level of progress especially in the last 20 years has slowed to a crawl.

UHC shooter is the beginning.

Remember: the 1% made the rules.

What?! How?! So I can learn to avoid it!

I remember the cast of Friends wanted to stop after season 8 I think.

Then they got offered $1 million per episode along with residuals.

It’s not just corporations that want to keep things going. The actors actually “unionized” (so they all got paid the same amount) and agreed that they wouldn’t continue the show unless they all wanted to.

How I Met Your Mother got to the point that Jason Segal wanted to leave. The last season was just awful and you could tell that he was phoning it in.

Even if they earned it ethically, they literally can’t spend this much money. They can’t spend the money fast enough.

They hold on to this much money to keep score.

I look at it this way: this was work done by a governing body, who were elected to perform the work. This wasn’t an FBI criminal investigation. It was a legislative ethics investigation on another legislator.

There is no earthly reason this should not be available to the public, no matter how innocent the report is.

Makes sense. 9mm is protected under the second amendment. And our incoming VP says that shootings are a way of life.

Jury nullification exists for this very reason.

Did the shooter do something illegal? Yes

But was it wrong? If I was on his jury, I’d acquit.

Here me out: Judas betrays Jesus.

Not saying you’re wrong. But I’m willing to let the man speak.

We’re entering a phase of unprecedented government distrust. Right now, we have barely a safety net but at least it sometimes worked.

Now, we have politicians (not experts) deciding whether medicine is good or not. Each state, hell, each DOCTOR will need to decide if a treatment is good for you or not and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Imagine these politicians completely denying any vaccine approvals. Even if your doctor wants to vaccinate you, they literally can’t.

So many MAGA hats have benefitted from the protection of their government and are now going to see the consequences of their actions and were all going to pay that price.

I want to know what priority support looks like for a mouse.

Like what questions would you ask? How would they troubleshoot before sending you to tier 3 support?

Live there for you. Its your house. Make it your personal retreat from the world, and set it up how you like it. Don’t worry about resale until it’s actually time to sell.

One additional thing I’ll add: make “nice” repairs, e.g. things that you normally repair when you’re about to sell the house (e.g. wobbly toilet paper dispenser, crooked trim, etc.) as your budget and time allow. These things add up when you’re selling and you’ll regret not having your place look nice when you lived there.

These are nice weekend projects and often help you learn basic home repair.
