  • It’s a bit transparent and embarrassing for the DNC to be spinning this up right before the election instead of years ago when this shit was announced.

    Look if it makes people realize Repubs are fucking scum, I’m all for it. Let’s flip some seats.

    But would it be asking too much for the DNC to stop fucking spitting in my face with the bullshit and disrespect and actually work on reforming the crumbling pillars of our society?

    Do they actually expect us to believe this is some kind of heel turn and Republicans haven’t been working towards this goal all along, securing victories for their cause under Dem administrations and through Dem majorities? Like, it’s not some kind of big “go” button. The slide has been happening for 50 years.

    Yeah such a great threat to our democracy that they held this campaign in the chamber until Biden needed the boost to stay viable.


  • Are you able enough to safely operate a forklift? Warehouses in my general-labor overloaded area still pay $10 more than state minimum wage, offer plenty of overtime, and are literally always hiring.

    It’s hot, dusty, physical, and usually far from downtown, but typically it’s a decent wage and can hold you down while you look for easier work. Plenty of opportunities to transition to an administrative position, too.

    Try see if charitable orgs or colleges near you offer resume and interview assistance. Job hunting is shit, I’ve done it too, there are fake jobs everywhere, but seriously pinch your nose and play the game of capital during interviews. Act like a good little corporate drone, get promotions, use that leverage to lead good teams and help more people.

    Hopefully any of that is at least a little helpful. If you’re in a rural area, you may have to consider driving 2hr+ a day to where the work is. It’s hell, this is capitalist hell, but you need to play the game to survive first.


  • The fucking airlines are cutting corners on HVAC, too. Do y’all even remember that flights used to be freezing cold start to finish?

    Now you sit on the hot tarmac at the gate for an hour with AC off to “save power”, sit on the tarmac in line to takeoff for an hour, sit in a hot humid tube for 8 hours… I used to bring down jackets on flights. Now I wear a t-shirt and still end the flight sticky and sweaty.

    Same carrier, same lane. Not like cutting corners on HVAC is a literal health risk or anything.

    Although to be fair, cutting safety features in favor of profit is nothing new for the industry since Reagan.




  • It’s yet another example of how liberal hypocrisy has led to the ongoing collapse of society.

    The core thought process requires one to agree that all conservatives should die as well, if all pedophiles should be killed.

    They’ll condemn pedos in the same breath as lamenting Turing and have absolutely zero cognitive dissonance.

    And yet you won’t find a single liberal willing to stand up for their beliefs.

    Even here you see their liberal purity tests, having to declare your attraction to adults or your vote for Biden or whatever next purity test there is. No I don’t fucking like children, the fact that a liberal is going to turn up here to accuse me of it is further proof of the thesis.



  • Lmao @ the Americans getting all uncomfortable trying to weasel out of this

    Yeah bullshit it’s “not mandatory,” how can you have such a basic denial of reality?

    Totally optional, that’s why every time some kid understands and abstains, the teachers and other students bully them mercilessly, give them detention, suspension, expulsion, and it makes national news whenever someone actually tries.

    I bet joining the NSDAP was fucking optional too, don’t try to deny your christofascism that everyone just accepts because somehow it’s better when America does it




  • Apple Maps also straight up gives objectively better audio guidance (e.g. “move to the right lane to turn right at the next light” vs “turn right in 300 feet”).

    Additionally the “directions” portion of the screen has large font and is clearly visible compared to Google’s tiny font on a window the size of 10% of the screen to show you more ads. (Yes, the reason some business appear at all zoom levels while others only pop up at street level is ads)

    What a fall from grace. I remember when Apple Maps would direct people to drive through halfway built overpasses with 500 feet of open air at the end because it’s not built yet.




  • My favorite part of this debacle are the liberals and conservatives uniting (funny how often they’re doing that these days) to mourn the great senseless smearing of this priceless historical artifact.

    The historical artifact that has been completely refurbished, rebuilt, re-assembled with heavy equipment, and literally cast into modern concrete foundations multiple times since the 1960s.

    In fact the veracity of the historical thesis is in doubt these days as well, it’s more likely some eccentric ass put these up in relatively modern times a few hundred years ago.

    Their efforts are futile and disruptive, yes. So is the fucking climate change that is literally guaranteed to collapse modern civilization within 50 years.
